I mean irc is cool and all for what it does, but with things like Discord now it's definitely defunct

It was around the time when everyone realized how spergy and pointless speedrunning was and moved on.

getting to see autists fight with autists, people's wives sleeping with autists at the get-togethers, cheating in games using action replays, drama involving cosmo being trans-gender, it's so beautiful

Because I was around when speedrunning drama was spiderwaffle and mikwuyama arguing about use of scripts in HL1 runs.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

I never saw any speedrunning drama. The old Prime guys were super chill and would actively help you try to beat their records.

kip was like the coolest guy in the universe.

It's not even SDA anymore. It's the Twitch crowd at this point.

And before that you had TheSpeedGamers - which were also kind of cooler than SDA in a lot of respects.

apparently that guy is a science teacher, which explains a lot of the way he describes things and demonstrates it

He sounds like a well-spoken TA from an IT major.

But yeah, that video's caused an uproar of memes on /v/ for some reason. Probably seen like 20 threads about PARALLEL UNIVERSES and QPU misalignment at this point.
