Careercow Narcissa Wright / Cosmo Wright - Former speedrunner tumbling down

[lol you sukc]

Beetle Adventure Racing is an excellent N64 game.

It's nice to know someone else still plays it.

Is it really though, considering the circumstances? Hey, if you're really good, beat the WR and use the pseudonym 'cosmo', that should make things interesting.

cosmo decided to take up playing beetle adventure racing again to remove his deadname from the highscores and get WR from "cosmo"

Are these people real or robots designed to spout buzzwords at women with low self esteem?

I'm not sure I understand the mindset of these people. Is the "past" Cosmo just dead or doesn't exist, and is someone to be hated or something?

i think narcissa wants to "erase" all of cosmo and re-insert narcissa. So I think it's basically a malignant reminder his fantasy is not reality.

all my haters BTFO, those who think I somehow lost any of my skillz. I am more powerful than ever before

Would you like to know who else didn't lose any of their skillz? Bobby Fischer.

Interestingly enough, Fischer ascended through the chess ranks using what can be best described as, well, speedrunning:

Chun (author of The Atlantic article) goes on to criticize modern chess for the incredible level of preparation put in by top players that makes "the first twenty moves unfold like a stale sitcom plot." But he fails to note that Fischer himself, more than any other person, was responsible for this development. Fischer's chess monomania led to his victory over the Hungarian grandmaster Istvan Bilek in 1962, when Bilek used up his allotted two and a half hours of thinking time and thereby forfeited, having made only twenty-seven of the required forty moves. Fischer used exactly two minutes for the whole game, simply because he had prepared it all at home. Fischer's ascendance to the throne demonstrated to the chess world that a contender had to be a full-time competitor.

Speerunning is nothing but repetition. My own WRs can attest to this, even in a game as random as Civ V; you play the mechanics enough and do enough setup, you can mechanically game the 'game' enough that you can predict an outcome worth calling a "world record" and any one knows this. Speedrunning is no great achievement, but is fancy to watch if someone puts the hard effort forward.

Which for me is why TAS is still a fantastic thing to watch, and why speedrunning as a whole will be replaced by robots get fucked cosmo lmao

Pretty much. Plus TASing takes a lot more time and hard effort, as while yes-- Human input is raw. TASing you have to run a clip over and over again, while some human input is required. Go, TAS, go.

I feel like they're barely the same activity. They basically require entirely different skillsets and have different outcomes. How many people would watch an ESA or SGDQ that was just a week of playing back TASes?

We already had a similar discussion on this very thread, but basically you are asking "who would watch the special olympics?"

I'm sure there will always be those who relate.

 

[X-Shaped Weeaboo]

Speedrunning is great and all, and I get the appeal of it over TAS, but human reaction will never be able to be as perfect.

TAS, on the other hand, can do this. (Clips starts at 3:10)

[Suck the Cock]

Human speedrunning and TAS speedrunning attract different groups of people. We already have machines far stronger and more precise than any human, yet millions still watch the Olympics or weight-lifting competitions. The main difference is Cosmo is past his prime so he won't ever be able to draw in the fans he once had.

That would be true if streaming meant gaming skill, but 8 out 10 times a streamer is famous is because of their personality, which Cosmo doesn't have any, last stream i saw of his, he was gloomy because of KF and typing in the chat instead of talking in the mic

Who watches this guy anyway I wonder. He's too autistic to even be a SJW poster child.

From screenshots in chat it seems to mostly consist of rubberneckers, trolls, the thirsty tranny mod, old fans of Cosmo wishing he'd come back, and the odd fan of whatever game he's playing at the time wandering in and wondering what the fuck is going on.

If you mean speedrunners who stream their speedrunning record attempts or their run grinding, only the ones who have hold a world record in a contested category of a popular game get really famous. That was Cosmo at one point thanks to his Ocarina of Time runs, but as Narcissa he wanted to replicate the same by being the best of a category that he made up so no other record could exist at the moment.

Cirno would speedrun half-life and he never held a WR and he is quite famous because of his shy personality but i don't think anyone else has gotten as popular as him, so i agree, speedrunners rarely break 100 viewers, this is why they should do another stuff, personality helps a lot

I think Cosmo mixed "diversify your content" with "diversify your sex gender and only have that show for"

Cirno actually got big off Dark Souls speedruns, since there was a market for Dark Souls gameplay with little commentary. Twitch always demonstrates the power of consistently providing something day in day out. On the OOT side, Clint Stevens has several thousand consistent viewers after doing 100% runs for hours every day for several years, and capping out at 2nd place. Autists love consistency.

To be clear, Cirno is now very much a variety/weeb streamer, and Clint recently burnt out entirely after trying to switch to Mario 64 and appears to be back, but he's lost the consistency and just streams whatever. He's got a completely different core community now, but similar numbers.

Clint also has the advantage of being a good looking kid with an alluring personality. Genuine charm is a hard thing to come by in the speed running world. Cosmo had it with his sort of stoner and laid back personality but.. ya know....
