Does /v/ speedrun any games?

no

i miss comfy cosmo streams

>>719059867 (OP)
The cost of this fuckers detransition was to forever play forspoken and tekken 8 of all things. embarrassing.

>>719059958
did he actually detransition?

>>719059867 (OP)
I like that transition..!

>>719059958
>forever play forspoken
What?

>>719059958
>>719061703
Oh no kidding? I would like to hear his reasoning.

No.

Modern /v/eddit isn't skilled enough to speedrun games.

Uhhhhh I mean... speedrunning is STOOPID and for gay, dumb trannies anyway! It's just like... practice and stuff. I could TOTALLY do it if I wanted to. I just don't (but still spend 16 hours a day bloviating about it),

>>719059867 (OP)
I speedran Hitman Blood money once. It was fun.

>>719059867 (OP)
JOHN

it took one more hit!

>>719062179
speedrunning doesn't take skill
i've been in the community for 20 years and i actually know cosme (he's always been an obnoxious faggot with an unwarranted sense of self importance) most speedrunners are shitters that just use a guide to learn a route someone else made and many of them haven't even beaten their game 100% casually

Playing the same game 10000 times looks extremely boring. Also all the exploits are really lame

>>719062665
What's your best time?

>>719063419
i'm not a recordfaggot i pick up a game, route it, then try to convince some grindmonkey to run it for me and if i can't i begrudgingly do 1 run that's automatic wr and time is irrel to me

>>719062179
It's not fun. You must be on the spectrum to enjoy it

>>719062179
Sour grapes? More like... sour rapes, am I right guys?

>>719062179
This but imagine the grapes were diarrhea packets

>>719059867 (OP)
No, speedrunning (and challenge runs) is for fags and has ruined entire genres and playerbases

>>719062179
>you're glad you DIDN'T get molested as a kid?! heh, looks like these grapes must be real sour. Seeya on r/murderedbywords, kid.

>>719059867 (OP)
I've been speedrunning for over 10 years at this point. I've done some gdq runs and you guys always call me an annoying faggot or accuse me of being a tranny just for having long hair

>>719064135
>gdq runs
you are a tranny

>>719063675
Which game did you get a WR in?

i miss swordless.

>>719064854
His DK64 let's play was kino

>>719062665
Speedrunning absolutely takes skill and if you believe otherwise then record yourself doing a HESS in OoT.

>>719059958
Does he still stream?

>>719061878
it was his 2023 GOTY

>>719064747
i'm not gonna dox myself li'l faggot

>>719064904
i was routing oot in 2008, it's a 20fps game, if you want to talk about arbitrarily hard techniques there are far more difficult ones, like lttp has a trick that requires rocking the dpad every frame for a minute straight, hell even zombie hovering for a long distance is harder than anything in oot

>>719064135
I can only respect runners that were in pre-2016 GDQs

>>719062179
You have to be an autist to "enjoy" speedrunning. Doing the same thing over and over again or running around exploring every pixel of a map to find exploits and shortcuts is not something any sane individual would do.

no but speed runs and TAS are fun to watch.

>>719065316
It's really fun looking them up after beating a game.

the best days of twitch was the old oot/majora/ww/sm64 days

I tried to speedrun Grim Fandango just to see how it would work with a narrative point and click. Stopped because the game prevented me from sequence breaking a puzzle.

>>719065498
zfg hasn't tarnished at all

>>719065498
zfg is still good, which is to say he hasn't changed at all

>>719065029
Wow, look at that. No recording.

>>719065498
>old zfg
There is zero difference between 2015 zfg and 2025 zfg.

>>719065583
>>719065595
>>719065640
other than being a sellout faggot that bloats his yt feed with trash sure, thankfully twitch banned sponsors on streams but a stream not being pure gameplay is still selloutfaggotcore

>>719065498
ZFG is literally the same.

>>719065614
nigger i could literally just dl a video off yt and webm it i'm a router finding exploits is all i do it's a meaningless task
if your idea is that requiring learning anything at all makes something difficult, you're hopeless, you might as well say bomb hovering is skillfull because if you don't get the 0.5s timing window you fall!!

>>719065679
nigga im not going to waste my time arguing about this but have you ever watched a single zfg stream?

>>719065679
That's not ZFG that does that. It's Dry and yes, he's a faggot.

>>719065790
Wow, look at that. STILL no recording of this individual being capable of performing a notoriously difficult trick that requires skill.

>>719065816
yea, i have, zfg used to stream gamefeed only, then started plastering gay clg sponsors all over his stream (twitch banned (limited really) this practice thankfully) but he's still at his core a selloutfag now
he used to be pure, sorry you weren't there

>plays nothing but randoslop
he's washed

>>719065679
His youtube is managed by dry who gets paid from the selfsame revenue. Though I see little issue there and I'm not sure what the fuck you are even referring to.
His affiliation with CLG ended not because of Twitch stuff, but because the org went under. And from the way he talks about it he has no interest in joining that shit anymore, presumably, because while it was cool ,it was probably also a pain to always keep the (tiny) CLG logo in the corner.

>>719065861
i'm not going to bother recording a basic trick that has easy setups, no lole, seethe
oot essentially has no difficult tricks because glitches0and0stuff bruteforces setups for everything, but you're a secondary so you don't know this (aren't worth engaging with) last reply

i beat dark souls 1 in a little over 2 hours (no seath skip) and i felt satiated for the rest of my life

>>719065920
Wow, look at that. Still no definitive proof of this trick not requiring skill.

>>719065912
>"plays nothing but randoslop"
>he doesn't know
You should check his latest streams.

>>719065872
OH MY GOD ITS AN ADD LOGO THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHATS ON SCREEN IN A 3:4 RESOLUTION FUUUUUUUCK

>>719062665
>Cosmo, or as some say, Cosme...

>>719065962
The way he talks about hovering with "0.5s" makes it pretty apparent that he's just talking about random shit he has no idea about.
If you were to ask him "how do you do twisted backflip hovers?" or even basic shit like "Can you explain the difference between hovering with and without hovers on?" he won't be able to answer you and just deflect harder.
No need to reply to him anymore, it's clear you hurt his feelings by calling him out.

>>719066041
>cosme alright

>>719066046
Of course he has no idea what the fuck he's talking about. I just wanted to publicly embarrass him. I could've even went easy on him and asked for a super slide and still received nothing but a paragraph of excuses from each post.

>>719066046
>dude there's no way you know basic info that's freely available on zsr
>there's no way you could easily look up videos from seedborn cheeze keeta glitchesandstuff etc. etc. and learn the intimate mechanics of basic inputs
one the game i routed has a trick where you have to stand at a precise coord, then 1f interact -> pause, then analog at an exact input range to talk to an npc, i don't consider that skill that's just a very basic set of actions that need to occur, i'm still not replying to the other seething fag though and this is the only reply you get too lmao
you're secondaries that don't know shit but think you do because you watched zfg, actually try running oot some time it's not any where near as hard as you seem to think, again you can find everything readily available on zsr because they want any retarded baby to be able to do it

>>719066130
Here he goes again talking about random shit and still can't even explain any of the tricks in detail to "prove us wrong".
You really assblasted him, huh?

>>719066234
This is wrong though, it's harder to competitively run an optimized popular run than it is to run some obscure kusoge with 2 people playing it

speedrunning is cool to watch when the runner is playing the game at the highest possible level and not just wrong warping to the end of the game

>>719066392
trihex's mom wasted an egg

>>719059867 (OP)
Not publicly. It's sort of a private niche hobby for me that I do for my own enjoyment. I am an oldfag from the days when segmented runs were king, and I always liked them because they felt like more of a "project", you could work on them over months taking time with each consecutive segment until you were happy and moving to the next step. There was no particular rush to the process. When RTA became the norm, I lost interest as it took it from being like a project and into an excessive grind you could never stop and that just didn't appeal to me at all.

Over the years segmented runs not only fell out of favour but also, strangely, because extremely hated as well. A lot of the speedrunning community is super hostile toward old school segmented runners these days. For example I love Resident Evil speedrunning and a lot of the big RE speedrunners are very openly hostile towards people like Carcinogen and Khomchik who do segmented runs, they mock them on stream and call them "fakers" (even though they are open about their runs being segmented) and it causes their communities to go and harass them in their comments on social media. It's all really dumb childish drama and I'm not interested in being part of it so I don't post my projects.

>>719066392
I agree. Speedrunning should be all about the tech. That's where the fun is both for the speedrunner and for the people watching. People doing any% with a warp or ACE are talentless clout chasers that just want their name on the leader board.

>>719066479
yea word, back then it was the community working together to create the run, time was largely irrelevant other than being an interesting note, now it's all losers thinking having a number next to their name on a list is the most important thing in existence

Is there any popular speedgame left where Any% is still fun and not just ground to dust with a runtime of sub 5 minutes?

>>719065498
Didn't really watch sig or ennopp but yeah the rest made for a really fucking kino era. Nothing against those 2 just never got around to watching them for whatever reason.
Shoutouts to Zellyzel, I think he still streams occasionally but haven't caught him in a couple years.

>>719066576
No

>>719062216
FUCKING

>>719066576
super metroid
because any% isn't the real any%

>>719066576
No. That's kind of redundant if you're asking for any%.

>>719064135
What does GDQ smell like?

>>719066479
>it causes their communities to go and harass them in their comments on social media
I never knew about this shit with RE. That's retarded as fuck.
Good choice to stay clear from this. Funnily enough, often times new communities are formed out of people like you. The ones in the back just doing their shit for the fun of it and randomly posting about it and then a guy going "Hey. I do this too!"
Though that was during the forum haydays. Obviously not going to happen on this certain anonymous imageboard.

>>719059867 (OP)
no, I dislike not being able to take my time to enjoy each part of a game, and I rarely play the same game to completion more than once
I also dislike races in general, getting from point A to B faster than the adversary is boring as fuck to me

>>719066781
i miss it all so much

i will not allow you to die yet

>>719066497
>I agree. Speedrunning should be all about the tech
wrong warping is tech
the entertainment is in presentation
a good presenter can make glitch showcase entertaining
after all, all the categories are arbitrary

>>719059867 (OP)
No because we're normal men.
The enemies are there for you to destroy, not pass through and skip content by glitching games

>>719066392
I've never seen that skip working in a marathon. There should be a fixed upper limit for retries so the run doesn't turn into a slog.
