Real Goon Talk: Is Speedrunning Some Loser Shyt?

[HDiron]

Speaking of speed runs, I can never do them. But I’d pay someone to speed run through my resident evil games just so I can unlock those guns and replay the game with them.

 

[Nymbus]

I’ve been noticing most speed runners end up becoming transformers.

 

[Zero]

I'd never do it but I'm not mad at anyone who does


That said, I notice a lot of people who speedrun tend to a bit....off

I enjoyed seeing some of the voodoo shyt people were doing in Mario Odyssey with the mechanics.

I'd be a hypocrite to call it "loser shyt", but I do think it's pointless.

 

[Starman]

Speedrunning is dope if you're into it. But everything isn't for everybody.

 

[Boolean]

Watching developers react to speed runs are more interesting to me personally

 

[CarltonJunior]

It's cool that it exists but I do think it's mostly pointless. I think if I was a game dev I'd appreciate them though so I can know just how broken my game is so I can fix it up

 

[Days of Future Piff]

It depends on the game. I don’t see much of a point to speedrunning RPGs, but Mario 64 speedrunning is the truth.

 

[Nero Christ]

short-term satisfaction that eventually makes every game hollow

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Anybody who posted anything other than yes is probably a speed runner

 

[Hostile]

I'm more of a 100%er/platinum trophy guy myself.

I played Super Mario Bros. with a female back in '08 and SHE got mad at me for skipping levels. That's how you know shyt ain't right.
