How is this possible? I didn't want to watch the whole video since I've never played the game.
In other words:
> Hey, you know those super difficult parts from games of your childhood that you're probably curious to see how we, the supposed speediest of gamers, swiftly navigate? Well, guess what? We just skip them altogether by glitching! Any% new record!
That's why no one cares about this. These people will play the same game or level thousands of times to trigger 1/1,000,000 glitches to skip huge swaths of games, then claim some made-up "record."
This is not skill. Even the non-glitch speedruns are more down to persistence (if not mental illness) than skill--which is a result of deliberate practice--like one sees in competitive shooters or fighting games. And these people throw tantrums constantly, like children, and curse the "RNG" (an admission this isn't about skill) the way a primitive tribesman might damn the gods for a prolonged drought.
