I wish streaming and speedrunning had been more prevalent when I was younger.

I find watching people speedrun to be boring as hell, but actually doing that stuff myself is fascinating. I've just not got the time any more to actually dedicate myself to it.
You gotta find one with good narration!

Speedrunning is cool, it takes a crazy amount of motor control and reaction time and it makes old games interesting again.

Jesus, 2 hours of some guy mispronouncing Mario. How do people even get his name wrong he says his own name in almost every game since '64.

Yeah he makes decent points even if he is being a little contrarian. I do agree with what he says about how the moon gating punishes you for exploring early.

He's a good critic in that his voice is consistent but MAN he is no fun to watch.

Yeah I saw someone else say the tech demo thing and it feels apt to me. This game is lacking in a sort of overall coherence of design and character that other 3d Marios had.
It does have more of a "theme park" vibe but that to me isn't a mark against it. For comparison, mario 64 did feel more coherent feel overall with peach's castle being the hub.
