To learn by playing, and to play by learning

I’ve worked with wikis for quite a long time. It started out with a certain FullMetal Alchemist, a manga that ended fifteen years ago. Since they though, I haven’t really done anything “new”.

And the let’s play said one pretty big thing: the game needs to speed up.
