      Is it pretentious to remark when one is often called verbose and lofty, a user of flowery circuitous verbeage? A stigma must exist for those who reject gravity's spirit, stroking the brush on the canvas of conversation furiously to mitigate the thought spilling over their intent brow?

      For a moment I thought "Hardcore speedrunners? There aren't any other kind - "
      And then I remembered that speedrunning is a hobby for most people, everyone has to start somewhere, some people just do it on their own for fun, and the stuff we see really is usually just the 'hardcore' speedrunners. The ones who work the hardest and do the best.
      But there are people who speedrun more to challenge themselves for a little while, have fun with a game they love in a new way, and move on before they come anywhere near breaking a world record, because that's not what it's really about for them.

No. The goal of speed running is to complete certain tasks of the game as fast as possible. Any crack is the game would get used by anyone, the speed runner just looks and uses them the most to finish the game faster and not the other way around.

      sure, but a speedrun is itself the culmination of hundreds if not thousands of hours of effort. if speedrunning is like "getting over it", a WR run is just that last bit where they fly into space at the end, ignoring the months they spent getting up there. the only difference between speedrunners and casuals is that they love the climb and they have a whole community helping them figure out how to do it and supporting them in doing so - and as Foddy said, break the game over and over in new ways while doing so
