they watched thousands of multi hour videos? that is lunacy ๐
If you take the meme at face value, sure. I'm sure they have to validate some runs, I'm also pretty sure they don't extend that policy to 2500 spots down the list.
... but weirder things have happened.
Most runs in general do not get scrutinized unless something about the submission is suspicious in itself. The community is very tight knit and there is nothing to gain from being on the leaderboard but clout.
No.....this is SPARTA!
No, this is Patrick
Sir, this is a Wendy's.....
If I recall correctly there are games like final fantasy where the world record is still 2 hours long
there are a lot of games that take over 24+hours to complete
Man I honestly don't get why anyone would try speedruning a game that takes 24+ hours to complete even if you skip half of the game
Hugo One has a novelty run of San Andreas (novelty meaning it's modded, e.g. Chaos Mod, Randomizer, and non-competitive because it's not an actual category) that's almost 70 hours long
