So what awful things are we going to find out about Summoning Salt?
Now that we know everyone in speedrunning is a piece of shit
So what awful things are we going to find out about Summoning Salt?
Just when the record seemed out of reach, GasFarts69 did...this:
They should legalize incest.
Bwowwwwww
DUDE *hits bong while playing max payne* SPEEDRUNNING BAD
KINNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO
simply is alright
Now that we know everyone in speedrunning is a piece of shit
Proofs?
Karl jobber
That's 1 (one) person
Is there a reason 4tranners see the worst in everything, even if it doesn't exist?
Speedrunning is literally a mental illness so why are you acting as if speedrunners being pieces of shit is some kind of grand revelation?
I'll never understand the appeal of bullying 'speedrunners'. They are bullying themselves by wasting their lifetime by quintessentially morphing into bots, performing the same pointless task -- over and over again.
In the time they spend 'speedrunning' they could learn to play an instrument, a language or even how to code their own games. This is inarguably worse than playing games recreationally -- even modern slop. It constitutes compulsion.
Why does people playing games make Anon Babblecels seethe so hard?
even if it doesn't exist
You don't see it yet.
You didn't answer me.
I really don't think there's anything to him. More than anyone else in speedrunning, Salt feels like he's JUST autistic and that's it, and if he hadn't gotten obsessed with speedrunning, he would have been obsessed with trains or stamp collecting instead.
Anon Babble despises video games
He never featured a trans in his videos even though speedrunning is full of them
Is he autistic about speedrunning? He has literally no personality in his videos and I don't follow him anywhere. I was always under the assumption that he found something that made him a fuck ton of money and stuck with it.
What's the rate of transgenderism in stamp collecting?
Anon Babble is taught that genuine passion for video games is embarrassing. You should hide behind hundreds of layers of irony and hate everything. Only reason to like something is out of spite or to just make mad in general.
It is why you see so many threads laughing at kids being excited while gaming. It is why just seeing people happy makes so many people here uncontrollably angry.
So when you have people who enjoys playing vidya a lot, be it speedrunning, fighta comp players, or playing vidya a lot in general, Anon Babble gets angry. It is embarrassing and wrong to play vidya so much.
"Spend your time better". They say in Anon Babble while complaining about people playing vidya. But biggest problem is fear of being genuine. Being genuine and happy is considered "reddit/tranny/soi".
Probably quite low since the median age is over 60 at this point.
because they are shitters
optimizing your armor set in monster hunter is metafagging and being a speedrunning tranny
ignore all subhumans on this board. they are worthless
IIRC he was a Punch Out speedrunner, something like that. At one point in one of his videos he mentions that he held a record and it was for one of the NES era games he covers. But I might be misremembering.
He holds punch out records
Now that we know everyone in speedrunning is a piece of shit
Didn't we know that back in 1998?
Trannyrunners do not play games, they molest them like they want to do to children
4tranner calling anyone else a pedo
brown subhuman casully has to seethe at being called out for being a zoomer nigger who looks up overpowered sets online
Your 100% affinity set isn't impressing anyone rajesh
kys retard die
I was optimizing my sets back in 3U braindead troon
I didn't need the internet to understand why focus and crit draw were good
kys
he was looking up shit on gamefaqs since 3U
Again rajesh, nobody is impressed that you have no soul
Well it's for the same purpose as all bullying - to enforce social norms
It is unhealthy to sit in your basement living vicariously through the past. Being shamed for doing that is good, actually
Summoning Salt is just valorizing this harmful behavior
you are the exact kind of shitter I was talking about
so braindead that you believe people have to look these things up when you understand why those skills are good for a GS if you played the fucking game
subhuman zoomer I know your kind
trannyrunner pretending there aren't actual recorded cases of it's community being filled with rapists
I liked it; however, I'm surprised that Salt's writing style hasn't really improved after all this time. There's something very stilted about the way he writes, where he'll often repeat things unnecessarily in the way he writes. It's endearing in an autistic way, I guess.
Wow is that another SUPER MARIO 64 speedrunning video?!!! HOW ORIGINAL AND EXCITING!!
It's so weird that Mario 64 became the focal point of all this internet adulation
It wasn't even that popular when it came out. Sure it was good, but a lot of gamers moved to PC around that time, and a 3D game like Mario 64 just wasn't all that groundbreaking anymore.
Goldeneye and Ocarina of Time had way more impact.
Being shamed for doing that is good, actually
It is, but 'speedrunners' either border on the spectrum of mental illness (in the form of legitimate compulsive/obsessive behaviour and consequences of social isolation) or are well within it.
Summoning Salt is just valorizing this harmful behavior
Parasocialites and PR gremlins are fair game, they are equivalent to the butchers who exploit troonship.
and a 3D game like Mario 64 just wasn't all that groundbreaking anymore
It is literally to this day the best 3d platformer, nothing feels as good as it does to play.
Yes its sequel.
You say this as if both Goldeneye AND OoT do not also have an important speedrunning scene.
It's just that due to its structure, there are far more possible categories in SM64 WHINE Goldeneye and OoT are mostly optimized at this point.
sunshit
as good as 64
cubebabby spotted
Instant acceleration
Spin jump
Fludd
Entry angle = exit angle wall kicks
Less space needed for triple jumps
Insane movement with Yoshi
Water body slides
We have a winner.
slowly hovers up the ledge with the fludd for 5 seconds because despite nailing all the movement he was 2 inches short of making it
Riveting gameplay.
him and his friends directly contributed to a dude's death and tried to pin it on an innocent person.
They're all a clique covering eachother and most of the filth is probalby not even public.
Just look into the controversies GDQ tried to silence over the years, banning people for the most minute bullshit trying to distance themselves from proper investigations
claim EVERYONE is X
ask for proof
get replied with only some people being X
I ask again, where are the proofs? Do you know what everyone means?
if 10 people are sitting at the table and one of them is a nazi, all 10 of them are nazis
NTA, if your argument hinges on his colloquial hyperbole, you're missing the point of the argument to begin with. The "speedrunning community" is a host to dispropprtionally many grifters, predators and genuinely mentally ill people.
Just watch a single event of GDQ, they put the whole trifecta on display:
the event is one grand money laundering scheme, deplying state-of-the-art parasocial pressure to exploit terminally socially isolated demographics and make up for payment processing/hosting cuts via "donations"
3/4 of the runners are on the spectrum of mental illness, the remaining 1/4 are "professional" parasocialites
most of the staff qualifies as predators, participating in the exploitation of runners/viewers and worse
The ESA event is more professional and features less mental illness -- but that's it.
If you encourage people to pick up "speedrunning" as hobby and do not emphasize the academic aspects of it (e.g.: computer science etc), you are effectively setting them up for a life defined by predatory, parasocial surrogacy and failure.
this video was pretty boring desu. pretty much just "this runner did a good job", "but then this runner did... a slightly better job" for an hour straight
going over history is pretty bland, speedrun vids are only interesting if youre going into the advanced techniques involved, assuming the "advanced tech" isnt just soulless glitching. thats why the tetris video was so good
siglemic being petty was kinda funny
I recommend checking out Tharixer. Makes more vids on Playstation games(Jak especially) and has much more interesting editing. He just finished his Jak 3 9 part series and is gonna make a super cut later this or next month if I remember right.
Fucking underrated channel(like Jak speedruns in general).
I sometimes feel like Summoning Salt hasn't evolved or improved his craft too much. Nothing wrong with it if you like his stuff but it starts feeling samey with same songs, same low-energy speech pattern and same "and he got, this run..." thing. All blends together. At least he inspired other Youtubers to make their stuff so that's nice.
Just saw the 9th video yesterday and it taught me about the decompilations of Jak 1 and 2, I never finished 1 because I lost the CD on a move so it's probably a good time to finally 100% it.
