ACTUALLY it won’t.

This is a solar flare and the earth’s magnetic field shields us from it. This is something that happens regularly (you have already experienced this) and thanks to the electromagnetic field it gets directed away from us. It’s pretty neat.

you underestimate speedrunning techs and their requirements

I’m pretty sure the absolute best speedrun time is the one where somebody got a random warp saving several seconds that was ultimately concluded to not be reproducible due to most likely being caused by a neutrino passing through exactly the right physical location in the RAM at the perfect moment. So yes, astrophysical phenomena do affect SM64 speedruns on a much higher level of sensitivity than you expect

I had to google this because it sounded fake but
