What are /v/'s thoughts on Speedrunning?
>>
autism
>>
autist millenials hobby

Autism, especially when relying on skipping entire sections of games.

It's literally just muscle memory, which anyone can develop if they choose to sink hundreds of hours playing one game over and over again and try to be .05 seconds faster.

damn, what happened to Drake Bell?

It's a waste of time. What's the point of playing games if you're not having fun with them?
Speedrunners never look like they're enjoying themselves.
>>
>>334829924
Depends. Speed runs from start to finisb are interesting. Speed runs where the glitch through entire sections or exploit it shouldn't be considered a run. Literally not playing 80-90% of a game when they do that.
>>
>>334829924

It's nothing but grinding out inputs to get the best time. It's kinda lame, and the popularity of twitch has turned them all into begging jewish faggots, and trippled up on the shitty drama and circlejerking.

I greatly prefer TAS stuff. The goal is to make an entertaining video about what crazy shit can be done with perfect inputs, not circlejerking over which autist autismed the hardest.
>>
It's fun watching autismos raging because they're not even having fun with speedruns, it's just a chore now.
>>
>>334830495

That's why there are different categories.

Sometimes large skip glitches are interesting, even if they don't show off most of the game

Oh shit the second one is gold !

All speed running categories are arbitrary
>>
>>334829924
1, I personally call them glitch runs when they have to use glitches to set records.

2, They're interesting in some aspects such as how the glitch is done, or when something stupid happens with the audience. Rest of the time it's boring.

3, These people have some form of income, right?

Yep. All because of posts on here and youtube comments (most of which are from /v/ users).

I wonder if his transition into a female made him such an emotionally unstable person.

I remember watching game grumps play god hand 'cause I like that game, and it took me an episode to realize the guest playing it was speedrunning it.
it looked not fun in the slightest, which kind of upset me since the guy seemed to like the game too
>>
>>334832884
He transitioned to female because he was unstable. No person of sound mind becomes a tranny.

>>334832252
I'd fuck the guy with the red dragon shirt.

he's or was obviously a /v/ poster. Maybe now he's on tumblr seeing how much of a degenerate attentionwhore he is now, but he should have expected some kind of bad comments from 4chan. Hell, if moot wasn't free from criticism, did he think being a tranny was going to give hima free pass?

it's spawned some of the most entertaining gaming related videos in the past years. Like the segmented quake or half life done quick videos, pure bliss.

Taking large amounts of estrogen as a man can't be doing good things to one's mental health.
>>
>>334834174
hence why video games are degenerate as well.

but speedrunners are on another tier of degeneracy due to spending 10x the amount of time a normal video gamer would spend on games.
>>
I liked it at first because it brought back an age of videogames where people cared about high scores and shit. It was molested into something worse now thanks to twitch
>>
I used to speed run RE4 on the playstation back in the day.

I'd do my own commentating like I was a sportscaster, just pretty much praising every decision I'd make as I went.

It was usually like, 8 hours 'cause I would skip cutscenes a little late, and was still grabbing the valuable treasure, instead of skipping it all.
>>
I like the amount of replay value speedrunning adds to a game. But there're a lot of autists around.
>>
>>334834601
Any scientific evidence on what it does to males?
