As someone who doesn't follow speedrunning outside of the occasional summoning salt video, what runs are worth watching our what are you all particularly interested in?

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago

Games you've played before are definitely easier to watch and appreciate. But sometimes my favorite run at a GDQ is something I wasn't aware of before, and the run just pops off with good skill and commentary.

Super Meat Boy is always an impressive watch. Castlevania games, F-Zero, Mario, Sonic, Donkey Kong.

Also if you wanna laugh, watch the "Awful Games Done Quick" block, starting with Superman 64 and ending with Kevin Costner's Waterworld

I legitimately didn't 'get' speed running until seeing his videos. What a wonderful storyteller. I mean, I still have absolutely no interest in doing it myself (I'm the kind of gamer that kind of forgets the plot and just explores) but I appreciate the scene for sure now
