Strange amount of fragile egos. Someone does a fastest 100% clear of a game with optional parts, someone else will come along and do a "fastest clear lowest clear %" run. Not even trying to do the same thing better, but making another category altogether so they can still claim "I hold the world record on x game". Then another category for "how fast can I glitch this game to win". Rather than decide on one set of rules for all speedruns, they have this fucked up system so they don't hurt anyone's feelings by pointing out that glitching your way to the ending screen in SMW isn't on par with playing through all the levels.

Serious answer, it's because speedrunners tend to shut themselves off completely from society, or latch onto the worst of it, and have no chance of being hindered by a wife or girlfriend.
Think of what it takes to just autistically poke around Mario 64 for 12 n' a half hours straight just to find a spot where the game is essentially borken, then exploiting that and then having the nerve to say that their time of beating Ocarina of Time is a legit 8 minutes or some other preposterous number.

Remember: during Apollos long unexplained absence from the internet, at some point Billy got in touch. I don't believe it was threats Billy made, not this time. He had already done that and all that happened were Apollo and spergs like Karl Jobst doubled down and said "Fuck you". No no, not this time. This time if I had to guedd Billy used his famous charm. He made pals with Ben. Showed him something, who knows what... But when Apollo returned he immediately removed the Billy video, gave Billy full ownership of the video, said he saw evidence no one else had and that Billy was telling the truth. Supposedly Billy was one of the people along with Keemstar trying to call Apollo the day he hung himself.

>> No.7243027

I knew Apollo, he was a friend, but he was a fucking asshole and I can't forgive him for doing this to his fucking mother and trying to bring down others with him. Absolutely abhorrent.

Because there is a high comorbidity between autism and being a tranny. They have a deep feeling that something is wrong with them and are suggested that becoming the opposite sex will solve that. The reason why this bullshit only exploded in the last decade or so is due to the internet making it very easy to plant this idea in their heads, and especially now making it possible to groom these vulnerable people 24/7.

The real answer is that they were always there. Trans exists in pretty much every hobby or community, and the reason you only hear about it nowadays is because more and more people are becoming accepting of it, which also means there's more people angry about them. Either way, I don't get why anyone cares, if all you see is "tranny tranny tranny" I think you browse too much twitter or seek it out just to be angry.

Speedrunning is pretty fun at times and retro games always have way better sequence breaks than modern games do.

It's always a pain in the ass any time a game is heavily dependent on specific and annoying to obtain versions or locales though. Like I don't want to get a fucking modded Wii because the only competitive version of Ocarina of time is the Japanese VC version.

Who, speedrunners? I know my fair share of speedrunners who are perfectly happy and have decent things going on in their life, same with trans people. Anecdotal evidence doesn't really mean squat when all you're going by are twitter screencaps or twitch streams, and that goes for my own anecdotes as well. You can't measure something like that and you'll never know how someone truly feels unless they tell you.

i think the speedrunning scene is overall great.

personally i prefer games that are speedrun without glitches or for lack of a better word "cheap" transistions for instance the whistles in mario 3. but thats just my 2cents.

i also think the crossover and randomiser speedruns are a real stroke of genius.

there is always the toxic minority in any area of any hobby who see themselves as gatekeepers and the true purists and will shit on everything but fuck them... you either see something as valid or dont but crying about it is just shit and undermining the larger community....

ive watched speedrunners glitch the shit out of games and if thats their style thats their style... i prefer watching it played "as it should be"

That's not exactly enviable. It's horrifying.

Past their esoteric talent that isn't that different from Takeshi Meijin's 16 taps per second A button press that made him a celebrity for a couple of years then forgotten, they're human beings.

again, i dont got anything other than a hunch, but you simply dont keep that cool in a suicide vid unless youve been planning it for a long fucking time
he seemed to have thought quite a bit about what he was going to say, and more importantly, what he wasnt going to say

Apollo was mentally ill and couldn't handle the internet. He probably was already depressed and suicidal way before he got big. Maybe he made the channel as an outlet, to get big and then he'd no longer be sad. It didn't work out and instead of going to therapy or taking pills, he killed himself and blamed two others in the community. It's the equivalent of telling someone to kill themselves on CoD and then get blamed for it, but even less so cause they were just calling him out on his bullshit. As for the cold reaction, well I'd react the same if I was blamed for the death of a guy I barley know. Maybe I'm just autistic.

Speedrunning in general, is pure unfocused autism. So in normal autism, you get stuff like trains, where there's a billion different varieties of train shit and that all arose out of hundreds of years of trains being around and evolving. But with speedrunning, there's no depth to the hobby, and it's really not even playing a game at that point. I picture a cult 200 years in the future where people revere corporate documents, taking pleasure in the authentic business speak and puzzling out the sort of human who wrote them and how their soul crumbled to make them into veritable gods.

For the sake of enjoying glitched runs, I think you need to understand that a "glitch" becomes an extremely fuzzy category and everything falls on a gradient of "intended" and "not intended", and that is often hard to determine. But also that a lot of these glitches take a lot of skill, sometimes requiring pixel precision or timing precision. And the workings of the game and how it allows these glitches is interesting in its own right.

But the important thing is your use of the word cheap. Speedrunners don't like it when a skip removes all the fun and skill exhibition out of the game, so they make categories that exclude certain glitches.

Its still tragic that he went through with it at all regardless of what he had done or had not done.
In the end he was just a socially awkward mental wreck that saw no other way out. Was it wrong of him to blame someone else for his own suicide? Yeah. Kinda. He could have taken the high and just refrain from bringing it all up again as some sort of last jab.
But it still goes to show how remorseless the gaslighting, projection and severe the cognitive dissonance of the cancel mob really is. Even when they manage to gaslight their target to death they still double down and entrench themselves even deeper.
They gaslighted this guy to death and still tried to make themselves look like the victims afterwards. Thats just unbelievably messed up regardless of Apollos own fuck ups and indiscretions. He wasnt a child molesting, animal torturing war criminal or whatever. He was just a scoially awkward, mentally fragile dude that ensnared himself in some e drama. People took advantage of his fuck ups and their unrelenting gaslighting ended up killing him. Why should anyone except the people that actually sort of did cause his death feel ashamed or guilty? Why continue to spit on and smear someone who if I have understood the situation correctly biggest "crime" was some minor donation scam and protecting a thought criminal from the cancel mob? Because that kind of behavior is just fucked up. Still villifying someone you just gaslighted to death while his corpse is not even cold yet I mean.

In his final video Apollo says that he suicide has nothing to do with speed running or the latest drama but to me it's obvious that the whole Billy Mitchell situation gave him drive and gave him a huge audience and people were on his side but when things turned sour and some of his fanbase started turning against him on top of that he settled with Billy Mitchell - I think all that was just too much for him to handle and he couldn't bear to make another video on YouTube since YouTube was probably the biggest thing he had going for him I think it makes sense that he would be driven to suicide once he felt like he couldn't have any of that anymore. I just find it sad that he couldn't even admit that- He seemed to be in complete denial of how important YouTube ., his audience and what he was doing was to him
