Michael will be streaming Starline Hill again today at 8pm ET on Twitch! Here is a clip from the last stream where Michael demonstrates the utility of passing early, despite the option to pass usually only being employed in the endgame.

According to my sources, there's a unit of volume used in the PS1 called "Buzzcrements," allegedly named after one Buzz Burrowes, who was involved in architecting the software tools for PS1 audio
