yeah, the really advanced tech that goes into some tool-assisted runs is really neat from a programmer perspective, especially when as with that smw run they manage to find a way to bridge the gap and become human-executable

busting a video game down into its components for larks is fun

some minor speedrunning celebrity got married super young bc he was/is a mormon, brought mormonwife to the agdq event. its a convention full of horny male nerds so if ur a young, reasonably non-disfigured nerd woman who had to get married so u could gently caress your boyfriend in a Jesus-acceptable way its basically a full serve dong buffet, like a nerd dick jamboree. what u'd think would happened happened and lots of horrible high-school-esque drama ensued

It wasn't really that much drama or most of it has died down for now,but there is this one subreddit inhabited almost entirely by one guy (who is totally not mormonguy for real I swear) who pops up every gdq to post about how gdq is covering up the truth or some poo poo

I'm glad that Mormon guy's wife had sex with all the nerds at the video game thing, and it's super cool that he's still publicly mad about it three years later.

more like he's surprised that his repressed teenage mormon bride went kind of cock crazy after realizing that alcohol and guys with functioning libidos exist.

i never knew speedruns were a thing until i saw someone beat Morrowind in 15 minutes and my thought was BULLSHIT.

and then i recreated their trick, first try, in about 20 minutes and my eyes were opened to a new ridiculous world...





of how bad developers could be, cuz bethesda srsly did not even consider that MAYBE potions shouldn't stack like that, so a potion of intelligence that was supposed to give like +5 could stack until you're in the thousands, and then you're doing potions of flight also in the thousands until you're a loving F-22 Neverar rocketing across the ashlands getting up in Dagoth Ur's face, and he's like "But to this place where destiny is made. Why have you come unprepar OW OW OW OW OW gently caress YOU STABBED ME IN THE FACE" and the credits roll.

Actually this is awesome and there is nothing less fun than a game you can't bend the rules in. I think developers should frankly accept this and stop drawing invisible walls and poo poo to prevent my fun.

I basically just leave this up at work, the Mario Kart race was good. otherwise I agree the RPG runs are dumb unless it's a game breaking run, like the failed FF1 run (or was it dragon quest? i don't remember) from last year.

i v much enjoyed the deus ex one that was done by a goon a few years ago, for 2 reasons:

- because the guy has a personality and talks about what he's doing and makes jokes instead of just staring autistically at the screen and occasionally sighing while the mc tries to narrate

- because the guy has the same haircut as jc denton

any other ones I've tried to watch have been painful.
