I like watching speedruns because occasionally they'll do something cool that you can replicate fairly easily

made co op borderlands 2 like 100% better once you learn how to dupe and do the axton speed trick. too bad you have to revert to a previous patch to get the infinite ammo

the thing I love the most about speedrunners is that since they all exist in comfort zone autism bubbles, you can expect the exact same people streaming the exact same game every day.

people who speedrun Luigi's Mansion do it on the hidden mansion which you unlock after beating the game once. You get to skip a bunch of dumb tutorial crap and the layout is slightly different but otherwise it's pretty much the same. The problem here is these fuckers don't put that important information in the category name so you would have no idea unless you studied a run.

I miss the days when I was first getting into the scene and a Wind Waker any% run took about as long as Majora's Mask 100%, 6 hours.

I like TAS's because they are non-interactive and can be enjoyed at my own pace without a bunch of insufferable pieces of poo poo asking for "shoutouts" for their stream.

Also this is a great TAS:

you know how with f1 racing people give nearly as much credit to the crew the designed the winning cars than the peddle jockey who happened to be sitting in it when it went fast?

this is exactly how every pokemon game should be treated

Doom 64 runs are really cool with the stick neutral position shenanigans. The pc port also has some runners these days but it's not quite as fast.

i can't imagine getting in to the 'speedrunning community' now because 1) all the good games are taken by people way more experienced and better than you and 2) spending the amount of time to learn a bad / obscure game seems like a waste of time

new good games are released all the time though

you can't get any viewers speedrunning new games unless they are dark souls because people only watch twitch streams to see games they want to buy, pro MOBA/RTS/FPS gameplay and nostalgia glasses. If you're speedrunning something and it isn't 100% optimized to get you viewers or get you a spot in a/sgdq so you get more potential viewers you are doing it all wrong.

the hobby is just an excuse to stream a bunch so you can make money playing video games.

anyone who says that is lying to get "indie cred" and will never mention it again once you're paying them 5 bucks a month for some pixels in a chatroom.
