82 is the proton number of Lead. The inventor of leaded fuel was Thomas Midgley, who also invented CFCs, permanently ruining the environment + ozone layer. He was then killed by a machine he invented to help himself get out of bed in the morning.

Vault 77 in the Fallout Universe plays into one of the most strangely terrifying prospects Vault-Tec had ever dreamt up. The Vault allowed for just one man, with a box full of puppets. He quickly descended into insanity and fled the vault after some time talking to the puppets as other people in the Vault. You can find his jumpsuit in Fallout 3.

Didn't say so at the time but massive congratulations on this, I'd begun to think nobody would ever put the time in to break Alamo's time. Very well played and grinded!

50, among many other wonderful facts, is the score you get for a Bullseye in Darts

The footballer (soccer) Declan Rice wears the number 41 on his shirt because it was his youth academy exit's first number, when he likely could have a more prestigious 4 or 6 first team number on his shirts.

36 is the lowest number (other than 0 and 1) that is both triangular and square: When stopping at 8 in the sequence: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36, and it's the square of 6

(If you're doing 37 please post the Veritasium video I beg haha)

Depends on the leaderboard rules, you probably don't but each board will/should have its own rules on how timing works.

If it's unclear I'd just do a run how you feel comfortable or ask a game moderator/in the community about it. Unless the game needs automatic load removal with the timer it's very unlikely you'd need one though, just not impossible.

In some cases submitting a game request for a game that hasn't been fully/at all released will still be permitted a leaderboard, especially when other games in the same series or development cycle are already on the site. You can submit a game request as normal and attach the proper context as to when it'll be released and why you can't have a run of it yet, or in the case that the game already has a series page on the site, you can have the series moderators add a board which can stay dormant until the game releases.

Alright well, I'm going to post the worst joke ever written, whether you do or don't get it you'll be annoyed with me for pasting it in here:

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar

The first mathematician orders a beer

The second orders half a beer

"I don't serve half-beers" the bartender replies

"Excuse me?" Asks mathematician #2

"What kind of bar serves half-beers?" The bartender remarks. "That's ridiculous."

"Oh c'mon," says mathematician #1 "do you know how hard it is to collect an infinite number of us? Just play along"

"There are very strict laws on how I can serve drinks. I couldn't serve you half a beer even if I wanted to."

"But that's not a problem" mathematician #3 chimes in "At the end of the joke you serve us a whole number of beers. You see, when you take the sum of a continuously halving function-"

"I know how limits work" interjects the bartender

"Oh, alright then. I didn't want to assume a bartender would be familiar with such advanced mathematics"

"Are you kidding me?" The bartender replies, "you learn limits in like, 9th grade! What kind of mathematician thinks limits are advanced mathematics?"

"HE'S ON TO US" Mathematician #1 screeches

Simultaneously, every mathematician opens their mouth and outpours a cloud of multicoloured mosquitoes. Each mathematician is bellowing insects of a different shade.

The mosquitoes form into a singular, polychromatic swarm. "FOOLS" it booms in unison, "I WILL INFECT EVERY BEING ON THIS PATHETIC PLANET WITH MALARIA"

The bartender stands fearless against the technicolour hoard. "But wait" he interrupts, thinking fast, "if you do that, politicians will use the catastrophe as an excuse to implement free healthcare. Think of how much that will hurt the taxpayers!"

The mosquitoes fall silent for a brief moment. "My God, you're right. We didn't think about the economy! Very well, we will not attack this dimension. FOR THE TAXPAYERS!" and with that, they vanish.

A nearby barfly stumbles over to the bartender. "How did you know that that would work?"

"It's simple really" the bartender says. "I saw that the vectors formed a gradient, and therefore must be conservative."

It sounds odd but actually practicing choke points and specific strats in runs rather than doing a lot of runs is absolutely crucial. Even in games where I feel like I know exactly what I'm doing and what to do, practicing exploits and setups a lot makes it almost subconscious in runs.

Thank you so much for continuing to support that tool, it'll be brilliant for all-round fair running, in Arma above many other games I've played using a remover. I will test it for myself when I'm next at home, and make a news post + resources page if all's well. You're welcome to create a resource tab for it on this page, of course!

Depends on the leaderboard rules, but if there's not an In-game time then it's very unusual that you need one for runs to be verified. But they're great anyway as I'm sure you've seen - LiveSplit is very popular and has OBS plugins that make it very customisable, it's a program you can download from the LiveSplit github website: https://livesplit.org/

Setting it up is also very easy, right click it and use the layout + split settings and program settings to adjust it. Because it's so popular there are also loads of tutorials available on YouTube for setting it up.

614 - I found the chain of SR.C in the gutter. I picked it up with the tip of my keyboard and fixed it, and placed it back on the thread

by the way, if anyone wants a good rundown of the first half of the year, @Merl_ made a fantastic collection as the year went on but stopped in June because it became exhausting and because Twitter made various user-experience changes that made it very hard to keep up with, totally understandable, and I regret not helping more with it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kQxoyn1jxgNc_VwkDKBMakd3Nopl6X3hRj_iS0F9rMo
