The random digression into cave hydrology was honestly super fun, I love it when you do things like that.

Clouds can actually develop in man-made buildings, not even just caves, indoor weather phenomena not only exists in various man-made structures, but there's an artist who specializes in creating clouds on command.<br><br>Also yes please I'd love to see you suffer through a multi-region randomizer, I will put it on in the background while I suffer through maso-core RPGs.

Have you considered proving P=NP to speed up your runs?

I, sitting here with a Bachelor's in Computer Science & (almost) a Master's in Cybersecurity, grinning ear to ear when I saw P & NP mentioned at the start I immediately went "OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA TALK ABOUT TSP AND HOW RANDOMIZERS ARE ALL JUST MINI CASES OF TSP."<br><br>I love having moments of whimsy when the actual conceptual side of my field is brought up outside of just coding.

Anytime I get a comment where someone says "if speedrunners spent this much time doing something useful they could have cured cancer" I'm just going to tell the commentor to go solve the P = NP problem.

CS educator here: Non Polynomial is a strictly wrong name for the class. The time complexity of the class is how long it takes to check if a given answer is correct not the runtime of finding the answer. Non Deterministic Polynomial as the name suggests is problems where we have no fast way to find an answer, but we can check in polynomial time.
