God, does anyone actually like these stupid interviews? The runners seem to hate doing it, and the interviewers usually ask some really stupid questions (this one wasn't too bad, tbf).

I feel bitterness by proxy about this because a goon named Oyster was working on this game and running it for a while, getting the record lower and lower, and then Zallard came in and sort of poached it and now he's running it here instead. Oyster's too cool to get mad about it so I'm salty for him

Oyster is probably smart enough to realize how dumb it is to get mad at someone beating your speedrun time

Not just that the time was beaten, but that he submitted to play it at this event and Zallard was chosen instead. But yes, I agree with you that Oyster is cool enough to be cool about the whole thing

Anybody know if this Yooka Laylee speedrun is going to be worth a watch? I feel like the game itself wouldn't be worth playing, and I have fond memories of the Banjo games.

I need some more context for this, laughing at assholes warms my cold heart

He attempted to speedrun DS3 last year using a route that was months out of date and insanely risky, since it required some OOBing that would straight up crash the game at random. He crashed near Irithyll and couldn't find the backup saves he made, so there was like a 15 minute pause while he scrounged around for the USB stick that held the backups.
