Some people just want to know they’ve completely conquered a game and are the best at it, literally.

It’s an art for the mentally deranged and its entertaining to watch

 

[SymbolicOne09]

Theres an art to it... the hours of dedication it takes to succes in this hobby is mind boggling. Like @Gizmo_Duck said its entertaining to watch..


Except for jrpg speed runs imo

 

[ORDER_66]

in some games its dope in others its meh

 

[Brief Keef]

Always been corny to me

 

[Tunez]

It's boring

 

[Moesha’s Overbearing Dad]

It’s cool when the game is short i.e Super Mario 1 or 2… but anything longer than that I’m

 

[Paper Boi]

seems like serious autism to do it over and over and over again..

also who has time for that shyt?

i do find some of them impressive but overall very strange shyt

 

[Saint1]

There's some dedication and skill to what they do. It's not easy.
Blind Sekiro run deserves some amount of respect.
It ain't weirdos doing shyt in the streets it don't affect you.
Let them rock.

Certain games where there's interesting shyt is or you learn about how the game works is cool. But those RPG speed runs that are hours long

And it seems like the vast majority of the people who do that shyt is mentally ill.

Correct. No joke; a lot of speed runners are autistic.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Nah, but a lot of speedrunners definitely have their heads up their asses.

I enjoy watching them though, they're about breaking games

 

[hotbeezie]

I’ll watch for retro games that aren’t rpgs…me personally I have too much of a backlog to begin some of them long ass games multiple times.1

 

[Hey_zeus]

It's a weird flex

 

[MeachTheMonster]

I think some of the speedruning stuff is astonishing.

Takes both mental and physical mastery to manipulate a piece of software in a way the creators never intended or even imagined.
