There's no point to it, it's just a hobby for autists. They love fixating on things, and totally meaningless accomplishments like "I'm the fastest guy in the world at Mario 3" make them excited because it makes them the king of a very small online pond where everyone else has to respect them because they're the fastest.
Compared to a lot of other "hobbies" these days, things like buying keyboards, watches, collecting game carts, funko pops, it's at least slightly productive. They really should've just learnt something interesting though, like a language or an instrument.
>"I'm the fastest guy in the world at Mario 3"
What's wrong with that? It's pretty cool to be the world's best at something, especially if there's a lot of competition for the position.
That guy has unironically accomplished more than you ever will in your entire life
>It's pretty cool to be the world's best at something, especially if there's a lot of competition for the position.
It's not cool. It's dumb. If everyone else competed to see who could jump off the highest cliff and live, would you be doing it?
It's a meaningless metric, made even more sad by the fact that most of record holders lose it within a year or so, and then you're just "I was ONCE the fastest guy in the world at Mario 3, but then some 12 year old kid beat me". Beating a game fast isn't an accomplishment, because nobody outside that community of autists on discord gives a shit. Go on, tell me right now who the fastest guy in the world is at Mario 3 without looking it up. Mario 2 (either one)? You don't know, nobody knows, because nobody cares.
>like a language or an instrument.
Yeah, just like, learn one of these things, dude. Even if you have no use for either, there nothing you actually want to use the language for, and you're not interested in trying to do anything new or interesting with music, these things are automatically better than being better than other people at something you do know you have skill in and can realistically be the best at.
'Speedrunners' who just use it as an excuse to have something to do on stream but make no attempt to improve or compete and barely care about the game are complete trash though
I imagine most people here would benefit from some productive skill. Don't like any other languages? Don't learn one. It's like the reason you play Mario 3 instead of Mario 64. Oh, wait, that's because you played one of them when you were 7 and the other one later so you didn't fixate on it as much.
There's so much shit you could be doing. There's got to be something else that interests you more than bing bing wahoo man, this can't be your life.
Even shitposting is at least a new experience every time. You find a new moron to shout at. Playing the same game over and over is just autism, you are banging your head against a wall until all the stars align.
If you want other examples of completely worthless hobbies, see most "world record" hunters. Shit like stacking cups or cards or most coins in a person's mouth.

All hobbies are a waste of time depending on who you ask. All that matters is if you enjoy it.
I don't think record hunters enjoy it. I think it's a compulsion, a way to prove yourself to others. In some ways the drive can be healthy, but when it gets twisted like this so that "proving it to others" means "impressing 5 other guys on a discord for 5 minutes", I think you've missed the mark entirely.
I think e-sports is a fricking joke for idiots, but I still have more respect for the players than I do for speedrunners. The passion can be monetized into a stupid job, instead of going nowhere.
[...] >the entire thing boils down to "y-yeah but your accomplishments are meaningless!" spaced into four fricking paragraphs >anything but absolute seethe in its truest form
It’s the Olympic Games for people who don’t leave their basements.
(Although I don’t think *glitch-hunting* is unfun or a waste of time - I make a living off of it - but it’s better to get the intended experience before doing that.)
Speedrunning is objectively more entertaining than some self-important frick's wall of text on Youtube. Anybody can type up a shitty wall of text, not anyone can "press buttons really fast", what a midwit take.
>"I'm the fastest guy in the world at Mario 3"

>Farts in your face
What sane person would play a game a million times?
None. That's why those people are mentally ill and that's why so many of them fall for pedophile grooming. Trannoids are literally naive autistic incels who got conned into thinking hot lesbians will give them the sex when they "change" into a woman.
I can understand it for games which were designed for it with competition in mind and getting best time, but the autism of finding obscure glitch to shave off few miliseconds of your best time is moronic.
Especially since games have so many glitches that at any point the trannies that own the speedrunning sites will claim your glitch not allowed and that will be it. Or even better. Consider you a chud and ban you from all lists even if your time is the best.
There is no point beyond the catharsis and sense of accomplishment you derive from it. Like playing a game on maximum difficulty or getting 100% completion.
Why is everyone in the speedrunning community a troony?
"And then, after 3 whole days of not leaving their room, not eating, not ventilating, not dilating, and shitting and peeing in a bucket, kittyneko69 managed to accomplish the greatest challenge of them all... skipping the poppy canyon and saving 0.3 seconds in their run. Unfortunately, 3 days later that record was broken by another speedrunner, who commited suicide shortly after."
Hear me out
Instead of player speedrunning competition, it should be bot speedrunning competition
How would you do it, is up to you
Goal is to be fastest possible
>go onto youtube >intentionally search something I do not like >spend 20-30m watching the video >write 4 paragraph response about how much I do not like this
some people really have nothing to do in life it seems
No wonder speedrunner homosexuals don't have any reading comprehension.
but thats why its based
there is no glory, money or fame to be really had by beating some other autist by fraction of a second
in professional sports there might be motivation of money or glory or fame, there is none of that really in speedrunning
but people do it anyway
its more pure and less corrupted by secondary goals, people share their techniques and findings
just to say they did it, just to prove themselves they have it in them
Not reading all of that, but Capcom ruined RE4R for me by making all the cool rewards be the result of speedrunning.
I'd have loved new modes that made my playthrough TAKE LONGER, I paid full price for this shit I didn't want to deconstruct the gameplay and learn to run it in under 5 hours for fricks sake but the rewards gear you towards it.
A randomizer mode, a "chainsaw mode" that made all normal Ganados carry one, pursuer mode that added a stalking enemy, being able to use the Mercenaries characters for story mode, etc..
None of those gameplay additions are in. You play the game, and if you want anything more out of it, you play it faster.
I'm probably being cynic but it annoys me because that's the game.

>troony obsession
yep, schizo confirmed
>doing a productive activity or offloading some stress is the same as my autistic troony obsession
Speedrunning is only an issue if a game is balanced around what speedrunners might do, or if it’s a multiplayer game. I hated strikes on destiny 2 because everyone would just past everything, making me wish I could just do them solo.
There is no such thing as playing video game wrong. This whole mindset of >You must enjoy video game like an art
Is stupid.
In the end game is game. You play, you get some enjoyment out of it. No one can tell you... >Nooo! You shouldn't skip the cutscene! It reveal the intricacies of the character feeling about...
Shut up b***h, I am playing games, not watching movie. I just want to cave in some goblin skulls and loot their dead body, I don't care about the story.
Of course you can also play the games just to enjoy the scenery like some amusement park ride, I will find no fault in that.
But telling other people that they play the wrong way is stupid. Those are just snob who don't even "play" games. They just watch them and pretend that they have higher intellect than you because they "properly" enjoy the game the way the devs intended.
Holy shit that's an amazing wall of jealous seethe
>j-jealous, you're jelly and mad!
You can't prove him wrong, speedtroony.
>the entire thing boils down to "y-yeah but your accomplishments are meaningless!" spaced into four fricking paragraphs
>anything but absolute seethe in its truest form
Except that he's crying over nothing. Playing a game slow and taking it in are not mutually exclusive. He's literally crying for no reason.
>raging over a 0.1 milisecond is fun and people seethe about it
>trust me guys
Dilate already holy kek

Its a fastrack to trooning out
If you like a game and it becomes piss easy, trying to play it fast is a fun challenge.

How does that not apply to playing any game or shitposting on Ganker?

Making bait threads
but i have so many (you)s to show for it
>any opinion I dont like is bait/seethe
>Farts in your face
going fast
i'm so bad at folding laundry, i keep watching these youtube vids on different techniques it's always a mess that's why I need a gf
His copepost could be applied to any sport.

This. I have no respect for speedrunners, but I have a great amount of respect for reverse engineers and autists who glitch hunt.
Autism
What fricking game is speedrunned by posting buttons quickly? Sounds like bullshit
To play bad sanik music at catastrophic volume levels.
Speedrunning is simply false productivity. It gives the sense of achieving something, without achieving anything.
>productivity
You sound like a homosexual, take those corpo/factory words out of your lexicon before more people point out how insufferable you are
you're describing video games
>It gives the sense of achieving something, without achieving anything.
That's the RPG genre though.
Speedrunning is objectively more entertaining than some self-important frick's wall of text on Youtube. Anybody can type up a shitty wall of text, not anyone can "press buttons really fast", what a midwit take.
to give yourself a new challenge in a game you've played a million times
That's autism.
At this point just play another game.
agree
What sane person would play a game a million times?
This, games should only be completely played once after which you throw them into the bin
None. That's why those people are mentally ill and that's why so many of them fall for pedophile grooming. Trannoids are literally naive autistic incels who got conned into thinking hot lesbians will give them the sex when they "change" into a woman.
If you would rather be sane than play video game a million times, why are you even here?
to what video this was posted? I want to read the replies
Speedrunning is a genuine waste of fricking time.
I can understand it for games which were designed for it with competition in mind and getting best time, but the autism of finding obscure glitch to shave off few miliseconds of your best time is moronic.
Especially since games have so many glitches that at any point the trannies that own the speedrunning sites will claim your glitch not allowed and that will be it. Or even better. Consider you a chud and ban you from all lists even if your time is the best.
it is but replaying a game in general is a "waste of time"
It's a video game. There is no way to play it this isn't a "waste of time". The entire point of entertainment is to waste time.
these anti speedrunning youtube comments are more autistic than the speedrunners
There is no point beyond the catharsis and sense of accomplishment you derive from it. Like playing a game on maximum difficulty or getting 100% completion.

every nerd hobby is full of trannies now. the more niche you get, the more trannies.
It's just autism. A big chunk of troons are just autist virgins who got duped into autogynephilia.
Hear me out

How would you do it, is up to you

I don't see a reason to belittle if they enjoy doing it? It is just a hobby.
Its not when every homosexual online constantly nags you to minmax or speedrun when you just want to enjoy the goddamn game.
Speedrunning has ruined gaming.
What the frick are you talking about?
I forgot my meds this week sorry
No wonder speedrunner homosexuals don't have any reading comprehension.
Sorry sir I don't speedrun anything or watch it either, I avoid wasting time on things I don't like
Sorry, I don't speak schizophrenia.
Project more, mentally ill troony

mental illness.
What's the point of playing video games at all?
To have fun, silly. Speedrunning is quite the degenerate hobby however.

WHO THE FRICK ARE YOU
There isn't any, you should be working instead as that's the only meaningful activity in one's existence
>doing a productive activity or offloading some stress is the same as my autistic troony obsession
They're just playing a video game. Calm down.
Never gotten a little worked up while playing a game? What are you, a woman who only plays phone games?
massive reddit energy
You're all moronic. It's just comfy. Ignore the tryhards and trannies and haters. Just do it for fun and ignore records.
Nah, you couldn't make a more autistic hobby. Miss me with that gay shit.
NEETs also need a sport discipline
Speedrunning is only an issue if a game is balanced around what speedrunners might do, or if it’s a multiplayer game. I hated strikes on destiny 2 because everyone would just past everything, making me wish I could just do them solo.

Quake was the only speed running worth a shit , with an honorable mention for Doom.
everything else is troonys and queers speed running their lives doing zelda in 0.1 seconds faster than some other troon.
remember those homosexuals who cried about glitches. they've been oddly quiet, maybe they already 42%d?

Speedrunners and streamers are the cancer that killed video games, you will not prove me wrong.
