    I get that. But at the same time speed running is stale as a concept. I feel like it’s just the nature of the genre since there’s only so much you can talk about. I love speed running but I could never watch someone stream it for hours on end.

    Edit: This was meant as a response to another comment but I goofed. I do love this video. Oops lol

      I feel like it’s like sports; if you do the game then it’s interesting, but if you’re just observing it as an observer, then it’s sort of pointless.

      I have observed live speedruns which are absolutely compelling though, too.

      Feel like that’s the fun of Tetris since it’s not a speed run. Its an ever changing goal of high score, or levels, or glitches
