How come Yea Forums rarely talks about speedrunning? Speedrunning is pretty popular on Twitch and YouTube so I'm surprised Yea Forums doesn't discuss it more.
Personally I usually watch speedruns of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (particularly ZFG's stream), but sometimes I watch other Zelda games like Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, etc. Also I like watching runs of Super Metroid even though I've never completed that game - it's just a cool game to watch being speedran I think.
What games do you watch being speedrun, Yea Forums?
I like to watch Mario romhack speedruns and playthroughs. Can't be fucked to play them myself, but they are interesting to watch and seem to require a substantial amount of skill.
Bentley Scott
Yeah same, I'm never gonna do it myself because there's so much fucking learning involved, but it's interesting to watch.
Jonathan Cook
I'm not on HRT
Christopher Parker
I saw a video recently about a 20 year old doom record on hangar being beaten it was pretty neat
Chase Ramirez
Twitch is a hive of faggotry and enforced SJW groupthink. Also the speedrunners damn near always have their volume set 10-20dB too low, so their delusions about the concepts of biological sex have damaged their brain to the point where they're no longer able to tell -volume-. Speedrunning is a mental illness. Pass.
Nolan Sanchez
Highscores > Speedruns
Ethan Russell
Speedrunning aka a tranny support group.
Brody Williams
HEY GUYS RUNNING OUT OF INTERNET GUYS
Noah Ward
I often pop in a speedrun on my laptop with a shutdown timer, makes me fall asleep really nice. And I can even guess when I fell asleep based on what I remember happened last in the speedrun or based on the moments I noticed falling asleep.
Charles Myers
Because the fanbase makes Rick and Morty fags look like pleasant and well adjusted members of society.
Gabriel Sanders
I love speedruns. However I don't want to talk with the retards and contrarians of Yea Forums. So that's why.
There's threads here during GDQs but I haven't watched one in many years since they became more about money than about speedruns.
Jack Morgan
Because speedrunning is only done by autists.
The only fun speedruns to watch are TAS speedruns that break the game.
Owen Anderson
I watched them during the 2012-13 siglemic/cosmo era. Cosmo's wind waker and castlevania runs were peak comfy. Now I just watch the marathons with my Yea Forums friends.
Brody Murphy
I've watched recent GDQs and they've had interesting runs. You don't have to donate, obviously. I never have.
Most normal speedrunning breaks the game too. Any% categories, where glitches are fully allowed, are usually the most popular categories.
Only a very specific streamer that does a very particular set of games. Dude gets WRs like nothing. Also sometimes werster when I can't sleep
Jordan Flores
Compet-N and Goldeneye players seem to be insulated from the worst effects of the speedrunning mind-virus. Part of me thinks it's because they use different websites, but another part of me thinks that that can't possibly be the reason and there has to be something else.
Owen Garcia
post comfy speedstreams
Noah Jones
As an autist, I am disgusted to be associated with those faggots. Unfrotunately, you're also correct, a lot of them DO have the sperg and that makes me really fucking uncomfortable.
Elijah Collins

Samuel Adams
Speedrunning seems like a waste to me. I play games to have fun, not rush through.
Xavier Wilson
I think most of the speedrunners I have ever watched have been pretty normal people. It's only a tiny minority who are fucking weirdos. And therefore surely it is better to judge the weirdos individually, rather than speedrunning as a whole.
Adam Long
Yeah I don't rush through either, so I would probably never get into speedrunning myself, but it is still pretty cool watching a game that you know and like being completely broken and completed as quickly as possible. It shows you things that you never knew were possible. It usually shows you a lot about how the games are made too, and how they work internally.
Evan Ramirez
You're most likely right, but the question then is what is it about the weirdos that causes them to make a huge fucking community centered around sucking moderator cock and campaigning for trans rights?
Ethan Diaz
Never fucking mind, figured it out. It's because weirdos and reality don't mix, so they naturally move towards heavily-moderated bubbles. Transgender folk are similar so they are natural allies.
William Stewart
>check speedrun of favourite game >refer to the streamer as a he since he has no cam and his voice is clearly masculine >dude gets really annoyed and tells me to use feminine pronouns >chat rules now specifically mention to use those pronouns Why are there so many trannies in speedrunning I don't get it
Asher Young
I don't speedrun games, but I do try and speedrun ruining my relationships with people that love and care for me.
I'm more interested in TASes since they show more about the underlying game mechanics, especially ones that aren't 1minute runs like sorrow CVs and explain the tricks done. Hour long attempts to perfect a stage or chapter get a big fucknope from me, doubly so if the streamer talks about his life story. Mekick has comfy Homm3 challenge runs I put on background.
Gavin Rivera
Get a waifu.
Jeremiah Jones
Because Yea Forums doesnt understand speedrunning and unironically think that 99% of speedrunners are le tranny boogeyman
I love speedruns, but you can't have a decent thread without retards shitposting about how it's autistic and how glitches are "cheating" despite there being separate categories. And the latest meme, trannies.
Bentley Howard
Why are there so many trannies, period. 10 years ago, transexuals were just some fringe group that barely existed, now they're seemingly everywhere. Where the fuck did all these transexuals come from
Christopher Baker
Well people realized that if you are some kind of LGBT tranny you are literally immune to backlash and people are almost forced to donate to your patreons and praise you for whatever it is you do
Levi Lee
It's literally easymode for life. You can't get rejected or fired from a job if you outright claim that you're a tranny. It's higher than being Jewish Mexican Female Amputee in the "progressive stack"
That's only twenty and I can't be bothered to find any more, but you get the picture.
Levi Rodriguez
Only TASs are interesting because they reveal how the game is designed, demonstrate fascinating quirks, and ultimately answer the question of how fast a game can actually be beat
Human speedruns just amounts to eceleb bullshit
Gabriel Hall
They come from the same place that all the Ryan Gosling screaming on a staircase come from. People who are very unhappy because they are mentally unbalanced. But instead of looking at themselves and trying to fix their emotions, they blame something external. The lack of a 3dpd roastie. The lack of a vagina. Both of these are complete fucking placebos, and both of these are harder to get than just some positive self-esteem, but for whatever fucktarded reason people who are emotionally unwell tend to chase horoscopes and snake oil. As with all horoscopes and snake oil, it doesn't matter how good something is. All that matters is that it's popular. Tranny stuff and 3dpd get tons of media coverage. That's all it is. Emotionally unwell people refusing to change their mindset, and instead falling for whatever snake oil they see on the "news".
Zachary Ross
Just like a tranny to half-ass things.
Grayson Martinez
I'm currently watching the Halo CE Legendary WR by GarishGoblin. I haven't watched any Halo 2 runs but maybe I will. I completed that game on legendary recently and I forgot how good it was. I think I prefer the campaign to Halo CE - obviously some people will disagree but I think I do. The story is pretty awesome. Halo CE's campaign drags in places.
Mason Nelson
Huh, who do you watch then? Maybe there are some smaller guys who aren't part of the whole Audio 15dB too low, Suck moderator cock or get banned, RESPEC TRANNY circlejerk.
Evan Sullivan
Human speedruns reveal all of those things as well. But you, of course, are a moron.
Brandon Johnson
I mainly watch ZFG (who holds the 100% record in OoT). Sometimes I watch other Zelda runners like EnNopp, Fuzzyness, RichardSage, Linkus, Gymnast, etc. And sometimes I watch Super Metroid runs done by Behemoth and Zoast.
Ian Watson
I did two full playthroughs of Prey with only Human then Typhon powers but I couldn't be arsed doing a third no powers playthrough so I just copied some speedunning video and completed it in 20 minutes and got my platinum.
Isaiah Robinson
FrankerZFG is pretty cool, so is Daddy ennopp. Zoast used to be good but he started falling for the "everyone who disagrees with me is trolling" meme. Linkus is made of low audio levels. Fuzzy and Gymnast are top tier nuthug advocates. I haven't seen RichardSage or Behemoth.
Angel Murphy
ZFG is a tranny. ZFG identifies as an attack helicopter. Don't misgender ZFG, you asshole. cheese05 is a crossdresser.
Speedruning is like "competitive" gaming but somehow even more laughable, poeples doing it are almost as pityfull as the retards warching it, not to mention the fact that speedruning is a fucking magnet for spergs and mentally ill.
Cameron Miller
>one speedrunner becomes a trannie >now speedrunning is RUINED shut the fuck up, bro
Zachary Diaz
Behemoth is the current Any% WR holder in Super Metroid, him and Zoast have been trading blows for the top spot in the last few months. RichardSage is 3rd in Any% Ocarina of Time.
I don't know what "nuthug" means and I'm certain I don't want to know. But I have never seen politics or left-wing stuff being discussed in either Fuzzy's or Gymnast's stream.
Adrian Morgan
Hey Stiv, I hope you can see this message now that the chat has died down. I wanted to say congrats! I know you can do a little better but I always want to tip my hat off to you. Through thick and thin I will still be here to always support you. I know times are hard, but you always come back with a good attitude. I wish you the very best on your next runs, and hope you get an even better score. I will continue to be here and find new strats as always. Great job Stiv. I am rooting for you always! You should be proud.
Adrian Scott
>But I have never seen politics or left-wing stuff being discussed in either Fuzzy's or Gymnast's stream. The fuck? Who am I confusing them for then, I could've swore I saw they were part of the whole gay flirting circlejerk that CloakedYoshi and firedragon764 were part of.
Austin Martinez
who the fuck this Stiv dude is?
Jack Fisher
Is that his gf in the back?
Noah Martin
He is doing a good job. I hope he can see my message, now that the chat has died down.
Ryder Green
Watching someone really good play through a game is fun, I've watched a guy do pointless stylish action in Dishonored and that was awesome. When I watched people speedrun it's glitching through the walls to skip the game and that's just not interesting to me.
Christian Sanchez
>Unironically posting Extra Credits That aside, I am only interested in Speedrunning due to the technical aspects, which means TASes like mentions are more my speed. Let's plays are more worthwhile then normal speedruns.
Asher White
Yea Forums wants to make tranny jokes, but the real reason is that they're mad cuz they're bad.
Jason Stewart
I prefer playing games to watching people play them, faggot.
Also trannies are off-putting.
Asher Lopez
Not as extensive or optimally as a TAS. Go back to your tranny gossip
Jonathan Howard
>the foot
Jackson Evans
>caleb got banned
he kinda deserved it, using the hard r n word is never okay
Andrew Butler
>Watching someone really good play through a game is fun What a cuck
Brody White
I find the tool-assisted stuff amusing because of the absurd bugs / exploits that are possible with superhuman input speed & precision.
Alexander Ross
I'm not an avid speedrun watcher, but when I do, I like them being on their highest difficulties and such. After watching so many D44M speedruns on easy that skip the entire game, shit like this is so fucking refreshing.
It's just that speed running you're spending fuck tons of time focusing on something and accomplishing fuck all outside of saying "I have highest X time" which will be beaten anyway.
You could be learning a skill/producing something much more worth.
Joshua Martin
Thanks for posting that, I never paid attention to Doom 2016 speedruns because I thought they were all boring OOB shit.
Parker Thomas
I just don't get why people spend a good portion of their lives to perfect speed run a level while they could instead learn a something useful like a programming language that actually makes them money...
I just don't get why people spend a good portion of their lives to play videogames while they could instead learn a something useful like a programming language that actually makes them money...
Eli Robinson
Because they enjoy perfecting the speed run, but they would not enjoy learning a programming language.
Xavier Lopez
No probs, user. Enjoy it.
Adam Anderson
No its another tranner called D_girl
Joshua Rodriguez
In programming you have to actually think and work out challenging problems. In speed running you're just trying to hit keys in the same order as precisely as you can. Why not learn an instrument instead is anyone's question but if they are happy living off twitch donations and dying homeless in 20 years when no one gives a fuck then it's their choice.
