>speedrunning
Literally why
>>323254621
>Because given that you devote yourself to video games, you may as well try to get good at it.
it's been a concept in game since for fucking ever
metroid basically made it a thing
sonic was inspired by speed running mario levels
time trials in general
fucking get over yourself
Because someone somewhere finds enjoyment in it, and just because you don't understand it doesn't mean someone else can't.
>>323254939
>become autistic
No. I've been playing games for 25 years. And the concept of speedrunning is beyond retarded and shouldn't be hailed to the point that it is today.
>>323255023
>STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE
I mean, I'm not a huge fan of speedrunning either, but come on man, let the kids have their fun.
>>323255023
doesn't matter what you think
it's been a thing in gaming since the 80s
bitching about it just because it's popular won't change a goddamn thing
>>323254621
>hey anon I beat this game in 20 minutes
>ha I bet I can beat it faster
>arcade scores
>well let's see if I can beat this game with limitations
It's simply competitive nature added onto these things to show who's the best at certain things. People are always looking for a challenge. People enjoy things differently than you.
>>323255243
shut up bane
Speedrunning is cool
Glitches and exploits in speedrunning is lame as fuck
>>323254621
The word literally is completely unnecessary in your question. Of course it's being used literally, there's no other context in which you could be using this word.
And clearly people do it because some of them enjoy it. Like most things in life.
>>323255243
>perfect mass to banepost
>mimics an asian instead
>>323255297
That's why you have different categories.
>>323254621
Because seeing how fast we can complete something has existed since at least the modern Olympics. "Hey, let's see how fast I can run 500 meters!" etc.But speedrunning with gimmicks like "Collect all of this stuff" or "No glitching" is BS. Literally don't. The former's a diversion and the latter is like running through the hurdles in the 400 m hurdles, instead of jumping over them. Slows you down and hurts to watch.
>>323255109
don't bother dude,most people here are stupid. just enjoy your videogames and let other rage
>>323254621
gotta go fast brah
>>323254621
It's good competition. Not everyone is a passive beta Let's Play watcher like you, OP.
>>323255405
>no glitching
huge glitches are boring to watch
it's like yeah, you beat the game by exploiting code, congratulations. the competition should be in seeing who can beat it by playing it the best
Because without speed running, we wouldn't have absolute gems like this

>watching lets plays
just as bad a speedrunning
>>323254621
Just like your hobby is shitposting on /v/, their hobby is getting good at one or more of their favorite games.
Speedruns are only good when done segmented and NOT on a livestream.
sometimes it's more fun to break stuff
>>323255681
>all that time wasted screaming like a bitch
Shaking my head in real life familia
>>323255691
I think lets plays are worse
Speedrunning is for ego boost of sad fucks, that much I understand. What I don't get is watching some dude livestream an attempt at record, or even more, donating to the said dude so he can keep doing it so they can keep watching him keep doing it.

>the competition should be in seeing who can beat it by playing it the best
WHich is why you have 100% runs
>>323255659
This is what I always thought speed running was. I thought my 1hr time on DKC was pretty good until a few days ago.
>>323254621
I like TAS. Fun to see games get broken.

Literally why
>>323256028
Why watch fag playing games and support them
>>323256028
Watching people play games in general is retarded
>>323255023
>every game in the 80s and half the games in the 90s rewarded you with points for how quickly you beat a level
>THIS SHIT MAKES NO SEEEEEEEEEEENSE
Kill yourself retard
>people speedrunning game in a big room
>mass of people just sitting behind them watching the person speedrun awkwardly
>clapping when donations happen
cringey as fuck
>everybody ITT has never seen a Doom speedrun
You're missing out, they are insane
>>323255957
Wow, that's fucking evil
Does anyone else only really like the speedruns with redicilously short times?

Are you a retard?
A fucking load of games were made around the idea of beating it as fast as possible from day fucking one.

If you want to go by Dante it's at the very least fraud and arguably treachery to purposefully sell a defective product to kill the buyer.
>>323259436
>buyer
I doubt they paid a dime for these life vests. They created shoddy products that went to people for free.
>>323254621
>speedrunning
Its not like peoplelikea game so much that they play it because theyloveit, and want to learn the ins and outs of it or anything.
Or that using what they know of the game just to test themselves in seeing how fast they can beat the game, just as a personal challenge.

Missed the part where it mentioned the refugees themselves doing the buying.
