Considering this being an official speedrun, I doubt it is hacked to get those transitions, more likely a PC feature or setting. Ah, ESC appears to work for that, most the times. Not sure on rules for use of macros or whatever, or if they are just smashing the keys while at it 
Some scenes appear to not be skippable either, mostly animation waiting to finish. It does look insane how speedy they can cruise through the game though, not quite my cup of tea, but I can respect the run.
Edit: Can find the rules and more here actually
Speaking of speedrunning Riven, makes me wonder if the below ending will still be a thing with the remake 
Fallout 4 BOS check your fire glitch
I never had this glitch before but got it this time because I left the BOS starting quest until much later in the game. I was unable to complete the Eddie Winter holotapes with Valentine because of it.
But, I used this fix and it worked.
Deep Space Directive - Demo
Shameless plug for a developer I have been following for a long time.
He just released a demo for feedback and testing.

Thought I’d share in case theres any battle racer enthusiasts on here , curently in an open beta you can sign up to from its steam page.
I use to paint the miniatures and play the tabletop at certain phases in my life, generally the ones where I had the time and money for the hobby '^_ ^
The game Licensing from GW can be hit or miss, I want to say I’ve played most of the good ones. Lately they seem to be licensing it out to every genre and studio they can with a mega dallop of DLC so 40k these days generally leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth and I approach with caution.
They’re having a big steam sale across all their titles, and one is even free (though apparently isnt a great game until you buy the dlc that unlocks the rest of your armies units)
Loved the Twisted Metal series on ps1 and I think Mario Kart is as common in everyone’s household or childhood as milk and cereal so I’m very intrigued at the idea of a 40k based battler racer.
wtf? I get shooting Ghouls to the moon in Vegas, but what the hell is this?
Pretty much this but Fallout
Thats what I always think of when I think of that mission anyway 
A bunch of robots who ran a tourist attraction aboard a ship before the war, are actively trying to get their ship to sea after the war. They are half way there thanks to my diligent efforts.
'Course I had to turn on some scavengers that were gonna kill me anyway. It was totally worth it for this hat.
Well, I mean, I remember getting an old oil tanker seaworthy to reach an off-shore drilling platform, but this is ona whole other level…
Wait, half way there? You’re saying the ship survived not just the launch, but also lithobraking?? 
Landed on top of the tower you see in the distance in the pic
Getting more and more ludicrous!
It’s such a Dr Who moment, that entire mission XD

HL/SourceEngine inspired aesthetic survival game
With Summer Game Fest just an hour away, I was trying to temper expectations and think if there are any “games that exist” I’m actually excited for. Other than LNF of course.
The only one that came to mind was Little Devil Inside, which for a while I thought might have been quietly cancelled only to re-emerge earlier in the year.
Hoping for more news on this tonight though I am happy to put up with another 2 years of radio silence so long as it does eventually come out 
What games are you all hoping to hear more from later?
Just here for the ride. Hoping to see something I can’t resist trying.
Edit…mountain climbing game. I am afraid of heights. I will never make it!
