Why is it most CSGO players look normal but speedrunners look autistic?

Are there any speedrunners that have a decent physique for example and clearly go to the gym?

People trying to max out their total level in Runescape 07 are very strong contenders. The patience and dedication needed for that shit is crazy. People trying to get 200m in skills are the epitome of autism.

I don't respect speedrunners that use any kind of glitches ot things that you are not intended to do in the game. It makes the whole run invalid imho.

At least speed running is interesting to watch. If that's autistic, then I can't imagine the spectators for golf, let alone the people that play it.

Foaming, the hobby for people who are obsessed with trains. It doesn't sound too bad at first, but then you hears stories about these guys stalking railroad personnel and trying to steal equipment and shit.

It's not hard to become good at speedrunning

It's just most people have lives and more meaningful things to spend their time on
>>
>>382645806
I have no problem with that.

But I can question mental state of person who plays game over and over again every day of the week and resets the game after 7 hours of playing due to tiny mistake.

They have to be on the spectrum.
>>
>>382641463

The fascination is that there might be one "totally correct" path that gives the fastest time possible. It's like there's an invisib;e puzzle in there, that if you input everything correctly, the ultimate run will be revealed.

Also, a lot of people don't like the glitches, but this is actually one the most fascinating elements of speedrunning and one of the primary motivations; finding new glitches. Many (if not most) of the glitches found in games like OoT or Mario 64 were due to speedrunners trying to find faster times; they are almost like the scientists of the gaming world, constantly trying to see if the game can be manipulated in different ways.

TO me that is really the appeal of it, not necessarily the time, but trying to find new ways to exploit the engine. When the "wrong warp" in OOT was discovered it was like the game had been hiding this secret for all these years

I like Pancakes approach better, and yes, I know he started by speedrunning

Sounds like your justification for flunking out of school.
>>
>>382646908

Not really I did pretty well and graduated from a top 50 university.

I'm just saying people have jobs, lives and more meaningful hobbies than to spend 10s of hours per week working to complete a game quickly.

there would be nothing wrong with that. also lots of practice and repetition is how you get good at anything. that's not really an argument, it just shows passion and a desire to get better at something.

>>382652223
There is no evidence that transgenderness is a legitimate mental disease.
>>
>>382652254
of course not. but many mentally-ill people use it as an escape, thinking it will somehow improve their lives, when it only lessens their grasp on reality even moreso.

Bullshit. It is the exact opposite, transitioning increases suicide rates.
