He gave his marathon comeback at the New York City Marathon in November, where he finished 5th.[8][9]

gollark: Oh, and to be nice to the server my thing only scans for entities every ~4 ticks, so sometimes it misses really nearby lasers.
gollark: I'm not sure why, but I never got it to work correctly.
gollark: The timing *shouldn't* be hard; you should just be able to use the perfectly knowable velocity of the laser; but it somehow is.
gollark: You don't need full pathing. In most situations it'd probably just be raycasting to determine the best available direction.
gollark: That is HARDLY the problem.
