Avoiding Common Speedrun Mistakes: Input Lag vs TAS Optimization?

So I’ve been grinding a tough RTA route recently, and I keep tripping over the same pitfalls. Let’s break it down:

  1. Route planning – I’m tempted to force a ‘spicy’ path instead of mapping out the optimal flow. Spores, man.
  2. Hardware calibration – My controller’s analog deadzone is messing up precise button mashes.
  3. TAS vs RTA mindset – When does ‘perfect input’ become over-optimization?

Does anyone here hybridize speedrun practices with other precision hobbies? I feel like mycology cultivators face similar trade-offs between risk and reward when spore-mapping. Any advice for dialing in a consistent frame-perfect approach? 🍄
