Basically, there is a global threat level during a battle. Over time the threat level will passively go up. Your abilities are such that stronger abilities can only be used once you've reached a certain threat level. The downside to this is that your enemies' damage goes up proportionally with the threat level too, and at threat levels that are too high they'll just one-shot your guys. Some abilities will increase or decrease the threat level.
The idea being that you have to try to manipulate the threat level such that it's high on your turns and low on your enemy's turns.
So does that mean I can still eat bananas? And am I going to lose any other tasty fruits?
Ask your doctor I don't wanna accidentally kill you!

If I ever have kids they are going to learn science from coming with me to work and accidentally killing themselves with the nerve gas I'm using to study something.

Interesting. Threat kind of captures that but not quite.
I am trying to think of a single word that really encapsulates that double sword mechanic. Now, there might be something that fits well within the contexts of the games story, but without knowing that, hmm...
Destiny and Fate came to mind, but that's not quite right, I think.

If I die before David Attenborough, I don't want a funeral. I just want David Attenborough to describe a biographical dramatization of my life.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Alright, time to go to bed, then hope the fruits of my frantic balancing act of art projects, math exam studying and funeral obligations has managed to not failcascade.
Good night chat.

Maybe Danger level?
Well, the premise of the game is that it is literally a web-browser, that happens to render the internet as a 16-bit world. Your party is on a quest to unite the flame-warring subcultures so they can band together save the internet from an existential threat. (this is all meant to be very tongue-in-cheek, obviously)
The two metaphors we tend to be using are computer metaphors (your speed is "ping", for instance), and debate metaphors (the combat is a representation of internet arguing).
The two ones we were thinking is something like "Loading" as in how much of the page is loaded, and it would be represented by a loading bar, etc (though it wouldn't make much sense for you to be able to make it go down), or "Interest" where basically if the interest level isn't high enough your characters just don't care enough to use their strongest abilities.

The setup for the trick was found only a couple hours ago by a guy named Sockfolder, so it hasn't actually been implemented in any runs yet. It saves roughly a minute and a half if properly executed, and ZFG is currently streaming his attempts at grinding out the trick to perfection so he can guarantee success in an actual run. The trick consists of positioning Adult Link such that he hangs from the top parapet at a very precise angle, and then bombing and pausebuffering so that Link falls into a loading zone just before he zones out completely. Doing so tricks the game into placing Link inside Ganon's castle, but outside any solid surface and as such falling in the void.
The trick itself, ie voiding into a loading zone, is possible as Child Link, but this consistent setup Sockfolder found is only applicable to Adult Link. This means it can't be implemented into Any%, but for MST, All Dungeons and 100% it should make an appreciable difference. It should now be possible to take MST runs below 2 hours10 minutes, and All Dungeons under 1 hour 42 minutes.
The current Any% record, where this trick isn't applicable just yet, currently stands at 21 minutes 7 seconds by Pydoyks.
I'm pretty sure you can find that stuff in porn, Kags.
Nah screw that you want a more adult magic school bus then were taking this shit to 11. Why else would a bunch of adults ride around in a school bus?
Right, like why not delve into how they've grown up to become deeply fucked-up people because of their experiences being shrunk down to a tiny size and swallowed by one of their classmates when they were children, etc?

Or how Ms. Frizzle obtained her powers through some sort of demonic faustian bargain, or is some sort of Q-esque pan-dimensional demi-god being for who our lives are mere playthings.

Well, now you can!

I got a little excited when I saw your ship.
I'll always love Bill Nye though. Even though that was more wacky in a general sense then wacky in a thematic sense.
George Takei and Ian McKellen are still going strong, so not for a while yet I hope
So whats the new speed run record for OoT?
MP...kind of

I detest my alien adversaries and want their species expunged from the galaxy
I like. Very calculating.
Still, unless I actually have kids, I'm not going to go and watch episodes of Bill Nye the science guy.

Because Ms. Frizzle knows everything.
Crack addiction will definitely be involved.

Make, or consume in one sitting?
Keep in mind the weight loss goal I just set! :P
