For me, it is any city/building construction game like City Skylines, Two Point Hospital, Planet Zoo etc.

        Speed runners ain’t even playing the same game, it’s fascinating to watch.

        Don’t gotta bring your ego into it, it’s a single player video game lmao

          I’m from an Era when most games were single player and didn’t hardly have any sort of story. The only reason you played those games was for the challenge of beating them. You didn’t play Mike Tysons Punch Out for a story. You played it to try an beat Mike Tyson and win the game.

            I started playing games on MS-DOS. Lol.

            I understand enjoying the challenge of a single player game.

            Speed runners are doing an entirely different thing. It’s an art form.

            But you like what you like. If you don’t like it, that’s no business of mine.
