I love, and am loved in return. This provides me with an emotional high far greater than anything else, OP.

just before my uncle's funeral, my father pulled me to one side and told me that he was giving a eulogy for his late brother, but he might not be able to go through with it due to how he was feeling. if that was to happen he requested i take over for him.

just as he was about to read out the eulogy proper, he broke down utterly and i went up to the podium, took him back to his chair and read out the eulogy for him.

making my father proud is the best emotional high of my whole life.

It is very real I can assure you. There are few emotional highs like cumming right when you make it out of the escape sequence in Super Metroid.

Getting bomb jumping and wall jumping down helps a bunch since they're essential skills. Most of the metroid style speed runs come down to knowing those things, memorizing the sequence breaks and if you want to find new breaks being willing to spend awhile experimenting with wacky poo poo.

Look at Elephantgun's Let's Break FF6 LP on the LPA if you want to see a master of sequence breaking at work. She's good. The best part about that is that she uses stuff for a game more than a decade old that was only recently discovered.

It's a good source of emotional highs, speedrunning. Just ask Tolkei (I think that was her name).

I rolled a perfect crit on a scythe attack in a d20 game. I did 4 times the mob's health in damage.

In another game I was perfect crit by a lightsaber for an instant death.

Dice suck, play video games.

Just checking in to say that I was trying to make a different joke, but this was really cool anyway so it was worth it even though my original intentions did not work out.

Speedrunning is cool, but I don't really dedicate a lot of time to doing it properly outside of normal gameplay myself. I'll do it for some shorter platformers sometimes like original Mario, but I wouldn't have the patience/drive to do something like Super Metroid. I'm usually ok with just learning the tricks and trying to do them myself a few rather than trying to break records. I've done the shinesparking, walljump sequence breaks and some of the other tricks. I just haven't tried to string it together into a speedrun.
