I feel the need for such a thread, so here I am!
Post your favourite speedrunners/speedruns, tips, tricks, your own experiences and things related to speedrunning.

I'm gonna be a basic bitch and list my favourite speedrunners/speedruns:
GTA:

I really like English Ben's speedruns and chaos% is just so fun to watch, especially when he needs to retry the mission for like the 30th time.

I find KZ_FREW quite entertaining and he explains a lot of techniques and quirks about certain games in great detail. I'm not gonna lie, I might've picked up some habits I use regularly during my playthroughs.

adam_ak hasn't ran anything in a while unfortunately, however his videos have a high rewatch value.

Half-Life:

LOLYOU is notorious for his insane CS:GO frags, but, to my surprise, when I hopped in his stream, I found out that he was actually running HL. I haven't watched him since like 2017, so I don't know about him now, nonetheless, he interacted with his chat well.

DeSinc has gotten popular recently and I can see why. He makes interesting videos, I don't know if he actually runs the games, but he showcases great strats.

why does that matter if you're having fun and only trying to beat your personal best

Whoa dude how about you slow down and enjoy the video game.

I used to watch crash bandicoot 2 speedruns when I was younger. The person I enjoyed watching do runs slowly became more and more emotional and eventually stopped doing runs and I lost interest of the scene entirely.

i'm not huge into RTA speedruns due to a lot of the drama that ends up becoming involved in it but ill post a few of my favorites





I'm mostly into TAS/TAP speedrunning content as I tend to favor the technical aspects of speed over the actual competitive portion
Dying of boredom, I'll try it all...
