Speedrunning Thread (Take 2) - GOTTA GO FAST

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Speedrunning drama never stops delivering the goods. The sunshine shit is pretty funny. The fact that so much dirty laundry can be aired out on people so consistently keeps me coming back to threads like this.
Which one sounds more interesting:
A troon shaved off 1 second from a WR or...
Some nobody is chimping out over a joke.

Option 3 is more interesting: socially awkward people playing 30 year old games and the drama that comes out of being socially awkward ("I would you prefer if you be quiet" chibi and the legend of zelda "if you didn't notice, I've been knitting" knitting girl and many more)

Those examples you've listed are all old news. Just shows that tranny drama nowadays is boring af.

I bet no one would make a video on the Sunshine Racists because making cheater exposing videos is risky for the community as it is, why would they want to say that they have racists too? It'll rightfully drive people away.

The AGDQs recently have been boring as fuck including the ones before Covid.

Interesting point. If the speedrunning community "do the right thing (tm)" by exposing sexists and racists in their community, they are admitting the speedrunning community have a sexist and racist problem.

Maybe the future of the speedrunning community to prevent itself from dying is to be more inclusive of nazis?

The second. I don't care if someone happens to be a tranny and made a new world record, but someone freaking out over a joke? Yeah, count me in.

Nothing's stopping you from doing it.

Same. Whenever a video drops about a new world record, I only care about the glitches used and the technical side of it than the record or it's runner.
Or better yet, cheating videos because some people can get a little crafty or have a meltdown when they get caught.
 
A Fable speedrunner has just trooned out, He went by the name by cleansera but now goes by seravenza.
Found a funny and sometimes creepy post where he talks about finding out he was a troon.

Big personal life change, but ultimately for the better :)


Hey, everyone! I've got an important announcement to share with you all. I finally realized that there were several signs screaming at me that I am a trans girl. I'm pre-HRT, as this is still a very recent revelation. Obviously this wasn't something I started to accept lightly because I've spent the last 27 years of my life thinking that I was a male and that I should try to find happiness with that, when I see now that I always knew deep down that that would never have worked.

My upbringing was fairly traditional, but thankfully it was never religious nor conservative within my immediate family. I had often wondered what being born a girl would have been like, but every time I did I'd fairly write it off not only as just a silly daydream, but one that literally everybody would have had. Alas, I recently learned that the majority of cisgender individuals in fact don't do this - certainly not multiple times throughout their lives - and my mom had all but cemented this for me when I came out to her as she's never been one for traditionally feminine hobbies or activities, however she's never at any point doubted her womanhood.

I have rarely ever felt like there have been any good photos of me. I've heard all my life how I "look just like my mother, only a male version of her". I like my mother's face rather a lot, but I have seldom appreciated my own face. I've just never been able to look at myself in that favorable of a light. Having dealt with nagging low self-esteem since my teenage years didn't help this any. In more recent times though, especially since I started losing weight, I have grown increasingly more dissatisfied with my masculine body, most recently to the point of repulsion. I'd thought about shaving my body hair before, but always figured there would be no point in doing so because it'll just come back anyway, and with a vengeance. Then there's my facial hair. I had never been able stomach it beyond a certain length. I'd confided in friends way before this that I'd be happy to never have to shave again.

Due to the pandemic, I had more than my fair share of free time for introspection where I determined that I'm pansexual, with a definite preference towards femininity, but pan nonetheless. If I like the body, I like the body, and there's nothing wrong with that. That still holds true, but it also led to me realizing that while I appreciate the aesthetic of a feminine body, I was also envious of people who could present in such a manner. I finally decided to do a trial run of sorts with shaving one of my arms. It felt weird at first because it was just something I'd never done before but over the next day or two, I couldn't get over how right it felt.

Another sign that I never thought about was the way I always gravitated towards female character options in the video games when available. I never thought of it in the stereotypical way of "If I'm gonna be looking at my character's ass all game..." Rather, I just felt more comfortable with it and I never questioned it. It just felt normal to me. Back when I first played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic on my family's original Xbox, my character choice was female and one of the random name choices came up with the name "Seraya", a name that I would carry on to many future girl characters of mine for games I'd play. That name exists as the latter half of my username we know as "CleanSera". The "Clean" part of that name was just my second WoW main, "Cleanwah," a male Night Elf Priest. "Cleanwah" was short for "Clean n'wah", a slight Morrowind reference that nobody ever caught onto when I played WoW. I would later end up gender changing that character and naming her "Nalcarya", also from Morrowind, after the fine alchemist in Balmora so it was still close to home for me. We can see which of those names withstood the test of time better. :)

My deadname is inherently and undeniably masculine. I had never cared for it much because at no point in my life have I felt I could truly identify with it, and that was just something that I thought I'd just learn to live with. I already kind of dread the time between now and when I'll be able to legally change it because, at this point, it's just not who I am. Odds are I'll probably change my whole name as and when I'm legally able: first, middle, and last. My middle name is the first name of my father whom I've not heard from in probably the last decade - nor do I care to. My last name is also his last name. He was never much of a father to any of his kids, and I'd wanted to distance myself from that connection already for that reason. Now I have some further incentive to do so.

My egg is still pretty freshly cracked and all of this will take me a long time to get used to. Even while I typed this all out originally, my brain was still trying to doubt being trans and "rationalize" these points in a way that wouldn't require a committal transition away from my AGAB. I know such "rationalization" is just furthering the denial of real dysphoria, and that will leave me no happier. There are some more feelings and signs I've not listed, and I'm sure there are many more signs I've still not yet realized to be signs. I know in my heart that I want to transition. I know the early stages of my transition will be trying - probably more than I yet realize. Thankfully though, I know I must needs push through the doubt, do what I feel is right for me, find my happiness, and live my truth.

So hi, everyone! I'm SeraVenza (she/her), and I'm an understandably nervous AF trans gaymer girl who will definitely be needing the support of her loved ones at many points along the road of her journey! <3


 
Wanting to look at girls when playing a video game means you are a troon, definitely not that you want to look at a girl.

Other than that, it looks like the same old "Identity politics told me none of this stuff meshes with my current identity, so i'd better change it" and then there's going to be the wash of support and telling himself that he's done the right thing, and it won't hit him until it's too late that it was a rash decision.
 
Out of curiosity do you just watch or have you attended?
The troons and autism would be too much for me to handle to attend physically.

Judging from the agdq marathons over the years, there's lot less excitement and unpredictability and spontaneity and a lot of this can be blamed on the event being corporatized and the meddling of the troons making event goers stick to the script instead talking whatever. It's how we got the gem that was chibi/aquana.

Also no this:

Personally i think the variety of runs has gone up and for people who are sick of seeing the same kaizos over and over, that's exciting. The showcases of stuff like Clone Hero or Stepmania are always good. But at the same time the lack of a bonus stream and less couch interaction has really killed the vibe. Runs are very professional, and pretty much every runner is thinking "how can i use this time to maximize my gain as a streamer?"

Outside of the stream room, it's pretty much the same. Most of the fun at GDQs is parties and stuff in town like Escape Rooms. So that hasn't changed. AGDQ 2019 they really cracked down on parties, and hotel staff would literally wait in the hall until you started making noise, then claim there was a "complaint." But that was the hotel's doing, not event staff.

I think, as bad as the actual stream gets, staff will never be able to take away what actually makes GDQs fun to attend. They could try, but people would just end up doing what Fatbody did and getting Airbnbs to party in offsite.
 
I don't think there's many blacks over there in Australia so that helps
I think Trihex (who's black) is on the couch right behind him and even he laughed, because Australians are inherently funny. Ozlandians and their antics put Florida Man to shame.
 
Apparently this guy was the /r/antiwork mod who did the terrible interview with Fox News:

>tranny
>kingdom hearts fan
>speedrunning
>rapist

Please God I can't take much more of this. It's every stereotype come to life.
