I don't do speedrunning but I can appreciate it and I think it's fun to see a few outtakes of crazy speedruns sometimes. Why would you be bothered by it

Yeah speed running is fine. It's kinda cool to find exploits and sequence breaks to finish a game in novel ways. I'd never do it but i appreciate it for what it is

People doing one credit runs of old arcade games are also fun to watch.

Speedruns are good fun and all, but I prefer to watch people play dogshit terrible games and try to riff on them while failing to conceal the fact that they're miserable

Most people have some cheesy hobby that they spend way too much time on and most people wouldn't understand. That said there is definitely something way off about speedrunners and the idea of just taking some lovely old game and playing it for hundreds, or thousands of hours to be the fastest at it is abnormal.

Then again, I have stupid hobbies too and no one is going to pay me for it, so who knows. Maybe my hobbies are worse.

Playing video games you can kinda admit on a first date (if pressed), putting video game videos on youtube after six months of dating and speedrunning on the silver anniversary.

Watching professional sports in general. At least video games change over time, sports is just the same game year after year and if your team wins or loses is meaningless most of the time.

After working with and around people with autism for years I can safely say that most of them are far less miserable than goons or the average gamer.

Just pointing out standard hypocrisy that everyone else seems to be glossing over? If you're here, you're hopelessly complicit, even you. It's like, the ancient ur-goon hypocrisy to say that other people aren't enjoying videogames the way that I personally do, so they're the real brokebrains. Then there's always some goons circling around cackling saying they're totally woke and above it all. That poo poo has been going on on this forum for like 20 years.

That's why it's funny that you're just pointing it out now.

It's the unpopular game opinions thread, if you came in here with high expectations that's on you. You've been here long enough to know this thread would be a garbage dump lol.

Yeah. speedrunning invokes a visceral wtf reaction from me, but honestly the entire point of a hobby is doing some stupid thing that no one else has to understand because it's all about your own enjoyment. So who am I to judge.

playing the same game over and over again for years is weird, you can't just say "nah man they're just enjoying it differently," its legitimately a strange behaviour to play the same game over and over and over
