speedrunning
I'm thinking of getting back into speedruns, but all 3 of my previous speed-games have gotten to the point that it's very difficult for me to even get close to them.
Game - My Best - WR then - WR now
Portal - 18 mins - 12 minutes - 5 minutes
HL2 - 2.5hrs - 1hr 45min - 50 minutes
ME - 1hr - 35mins - 27mins

@lizardsquid If I were to try speedrunning something I'd probably try going for games that aren't very optimized, the routing bit sounds more interesting to me than grinding times down.
(I also want to kinda try speedrunning tbh but IDK where or how to start)

@BatElite yeah, experimenting with routes is quite fun!
(the trick is to speedrun a game that you already enjoy playing a bunch)

@BatElite @lizardsquid how would you speedrun combat??
re: speedrunning
@BatElite @lizardsquid that is some of the worst reviews we've ever seen
re: speedrunning
@Felthry @lizardsquid I was thinking of the 2001/2002 vaguely a reimagining, which I can understand you not knowing because AFAIK it's practically unheard of.

It's got a progression of levels and bosses though, which is doable to speedrun unlike the original. :P
