Deus Ex - Tong Skip in Hong Kong, an OR check that allows us to skip the entire quest there and leave for the Ship Immediatly, as long as the rendertime of Tong is below 4 seconds. Normally the Render of Tong is around 10-15secs already but if you go OOB and see him it is set back to 0.

There's that glitch in Mirror's Edge that lets you kickglitch upwards and get stupid hight after dying because of the game thinking you're at different coordinates or something. @phoenixsr.bsky.social can probably explain it 😅

Glitching games by lagging it with PrintScreen. You can pretty easily confuse the physical engine to launch you somewhere, or let you clip through stuff.

Other than that, anything Deus Ex

lmao, which game is that? And how does it work technically? Like the talk is mainly focused on "Reverse Engineering" and how we abuse memory in OoT to Wrong Warp for example

gotcha. Especially older games had physics synced to framerate in some way, and PrintScreen lags the game, increasing the window between physical loop executions. NOLF2 has pretty good clips with either low fps or PrtScr lags. For launches pretty much any Run Invalid game, like Zofia

True very interesting. I’m going to explain and show how ACE works in OoT 😂 I think software engineers will love that
