Which speedrunning community is the most deranged?

People who do 100% hundred hour games like gran turismo 4s 230 hour "speed" run or baten kaitos' 337 world record speed run. Sure people put an incredibly autistic amount of time into speed running but atleast the individual runs are actually quick and you're not spending half a month on a single run, it's basically omega autistic dessert bus. At that point why not do something cool like leveling to level 99 in the first room of ff7 (dicktree is a nigger) or something like that.

You have a link to the dicktree saga by the way?

When I was a kid. Early highschool. Every day when I got home I would watch Austin powers. Like every day. Sometimes all three back to back. Later I found out that obsessive repetitive consumption of nostalgic media is a sign of extreme depression. Like “don’t let them near a gun” depression.

All kids do that, there's that one movie they want to watch constantly

Speedrunning games with large amounts of RNG is some bossmanjack shit. But there's not even a chance of a payout, just fame among trannies.
 
Reminder that according to the Hitman Speedrunners thread on Community Watch, one of the runners got them to ban a glitch that wouldve put people below his runs

Luelinks/eti is dead and being invite only seems to have fucked archives so sadly its met the fate of most internet forums. Cyber shell made a good summary of it but the actual forum post seem to be lost like tears in rain.
 
Super Mario 64. The only community that I know that gets autistic over a glitch that is the sole cause of it's speedrunning. BLJ's. (no not blowjobs, backwards long jump)

It's been a while but I remember the Monkey Ball community being filled with absolute spergs.
The Megaman X people are fucking embarrassments, they soviet style unpersoned a WR holder from their leaderboard for making edgy comments. Now there's two leaderboards: the "official" one which is flat out wrong and missing runs by people the mods don't like and the one run by people who actually give a fuck. All because the community was too retarded to tell their faggot power tripping moderators to fuck off. Yes, I'm still mad.
Goldeneyes been brought up in this thread a few times but despite being an extremely autistic, thousands of hours grind game the people were mostly dudebro gamer types and normies. Pretty chill, one of the better groups I remember, honestly.
GDQ is fucking plagued and I wish bi-yearly for it's fucking death. Polluted with attention seeking troons and the only reason people go this event is to see internet friends and hookup. I don't think there's anything else I can add that isn't widely known already. Everyone knows GDQ fucking sucks it's not an uncommon sentiment among speedrunners either, especially the oldboys.
I always liked the OoT guys, very passionate about the game, mostly chill people. Again it's been a long time so maybe its shit now but I can't think of much bad things aside from when Cosmo had his spergouts after trooning out.
I've got way more maybe I'll keep going when I have more time if anyone' interested. Most communities really aren't that bad it's mostly the GDQ orbiters that suck the fucking life out of it. They're the same type of parasites who have ruined 99% of online hobby spaces.

I consider speedrunning in general a waste of time. It is much better to play something else or build something.

I don't have much experience with speedrunning, but I saw people in Doom community speedrunning Doom levels or trying to play pacifist mode (no harming of demons allowed).

While the latter sounds cool to do, both are time wasters because you could use that time to play other WADs and because DOOM is RNG dependent.

I don't understand people who post speedrun videos of megahard megawads but the difficulty is set to Ultra Violence instead of Nightmare.

Seeing someone go through the Plutonia Experiment in one go on Nightmare is truly a sight to behold.

Plutonia and Nightmare difficulty is fucking insane.
I finished Plutonia using Ultra-Violence, but I had to spam save-states in certain levels.
Nightmare difficulty was always considered a difficulty level for shit and giggles, not a serious challenge.

Null made this point about speedrunning being mostly about luck rather than skill in a livestream once:

The funny part about this shit is that subsequently people apparently did it in 51 and even 50 seconds making his 15 years of sperging entirely pointless
