sign for mental illness

i sometimes watch speedrunners and ask myself, what the fuck are these people doing with their lives? i made a software company with 150 employees by teaching myself how to code in php, javascript, C# and java, and all these people do is waste time for no reward at all

They're cool for old, popular games like SMB.
Not for fucking Tomba 2.

I'd rather watch someone be really good at a video game instead of playing it really fast. I like """glitchless""" runs.

Could you stop?

I guess we're doing this thread now.

you don't have to lie on a video game imageboard

Doing stuff quickly? Alright, it can be kinda cool to see somebody melt a boss.
Glitching through the map and skipping encounters? That's just avoiding gameplay for the sake of autism.

I like that jump

this
and this.

glitchless runs are for casual fags, enjoy going slow

low iq posts

Interesting to watch ONLY when games are done on high difficulties or broken to fun in a way that can be explained sensibly.

This.
It's boring as hell to watch someone clip through a wall and walk around in nullspace for the entire run.

I would really appreciate it if you would be quiet.

Wrong Warp ruined any enjoyment I can get from OoT runs. The first speed run I ever saw was TSA's original sub 5 hour run, and it was amazing to see the game played so skillfully (albeit it turns out that he stitches it together). But now, most OoT runs are 16 minutes and boring to watch.

I sometimes read user's bullshit and ask myself, how autistic can they really be?

It's fun to watch for certain games. Sonic is the obvious example since the game series, for the most part, are meant to be finished fast.

Long ass RPGs however, are boring to watch speedrun. Speedrunning Skyrim is as impressive as running to the toilet to take a shit.

I prefer watching videos about speedruns and how exploits that speedrunners use work, rather than watching actual runs

Fun to watch but you're most likely going to end up mentally ill if you try to play seriously

It's neat but has become an obsession with autistic trannnies.

why is there so much mental illness in the speedrunning community anyway?

>want to watch Metroid Prime speedrun, thinking that it would be interesting to see some expert gameplay and skips in my favorite game
>the skips end up being out-of-bounds shittery that takes up majority of the entire run
Miss me with that shit. In general, I feel that the enjoyment of speedruns is directly proportional to the ability of the runner to entertainingly explain what’s going on and what kind of silliness it requires/required to create the optimal route, but that kind of content couldn’t be made enjoyable by anybody on this godforsaken Earth.

Depends on if the runner if they have some good things to say. This one in particular is great youtube.com/watch?v=vjqwYwGaub8
But for the most part I hear speedrunning and think of webm related

JRPG speedruns are the biggest mystery to me. Shit tons of unskippable dialogue and scenes, usually zero leeway or planning about the routes to take due to linearity, even a speedrun takes over 10 hours, what’s the point?

That video is 6 years old now, and that terrifies me. It feels like it was just last week.

based. I wonder about this sometimes too.
While these fags were clicking on their buttons, I went to meditate in Tibet and after coming back, I became a fortune 500 owner and fuck models on the regular.
You just need to read motivational quotes on twitter

It takes a certain mindset to enjoy speedrunning. It's like the thing with engineers and their autism.

>there was a tranny in the background even in 2014
Fuck, how did I not notice it when I watched this the first time?

>No one who speedruns is a millionaire, fucking hot bitches, doing actual important things in life. Everyone who speedruns is a degenerate and getting world records is the only way to feel good about themselves, [how many hours have I wasted on this bullshit game bullshit pathetic], all I do is waste my life away for a temporary goddamn high that lasts about a week or so... it's a complete joke, speedrunning is the most degenerate act man has ever come up with... it's fucking true, the only reason we speedrun is because we're too pathetic to accomplish anything else decent in life, so we fucking speedrun. because it gives us this temporary feeling that "oh my god I'm good, I'm the best in the world in this thing that hardly anyone else does." that's all it is, really. we're all a fucking joke, we masquerade around AGDQ like 'haha we're so cool making a million dollars for cancer aren't we fucking special?' [nah] we're just a pile of fucking goddamn losers is all we are. it's ridiculous. People thinking speedrunning is cool is the biggest goddamn meme on the planet. nah [bommit] I'm telling the truth I'm just being real, everyone knows it they're just too afraid to say it. oh my fucking dvd is done, well that's end of stream. If I get 1:08 this run no one will ever see it. Yeah [slinky] it's the absolute truth, it really is. We can pretend we're not, oh, we're partners on Twitch, we make entertainment, money, whatever but at the end of the day it's the truth. You know I just exposed all of speedrunning. It's a thing we do to waste time to feel good about ourselves that's it.

Playing the same shit for hours everyday probably isn't healthy.

there's an entire flock of the fucking things

I meant in the posted video, the webm I saved because I recognize most of those degenerates
