I got my first WR in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker on Emulator!

world record
I found the game two days ago and it’s pretty fun. May try to get better time. Feels nice to have a wr in an official Batman game

We created a Lego Speedrun - Try to beat us

There are a ton of video game speedruns out there:

- How fast can you beat the Enderdragon?

- or watch this guy: he spawns with Link and no equipment and straight up runs to Ganondorf.

It's fun to follow that and always see new ways how people beat these games.

And there are speedruns outside of the gaming world. For example, Rubik's Cubes. The Nurburgschleife in Germany, this one little benchmark boat for testing your 3D printer.

But why isn't there a Lego speedrun?

So my cousin and I tried to come up with a ruleset for speedrunning Lego so everyone has the same circumstances and we can see who is the fastest builder. We searched for a Lego set that is cheap, has a decently small piece count (so a run doesn't take as long), and people are able to do their own run.

  • So we decided on the Lego Creator 31376 Hamster.

And here are the rules we came up with: If you do a speedrun, you first open all bags, put the bricks in a cup or something, and shake it. You release the pieces on your table. In that moment the counter starts. You can use the instruction, but if you want to improve your time and maybe set a world record, you are allowed to build the hamster from memory, so you don't need the instruction papers. We would be happy if you would join this competition.

Here you can see my attempt without instructions: https://youtu.be/53i3lhJ9-5I?si=JR0kdRf-X6n0UOg7

I'm fascinated by the speed running community.

I'm not a speed runner, but I saw some videos, I find it absolutely fascinating and awesome, that a community was built where people regulate each other and keep each other honest.

People maticliously watch runs, and out cheaters.

The amazing dedication it takes to search and find repeatable glitches. I find it really remarkable. All with no monetary incentive.

If I was in charge of rooting out corruption in the government, I would look towards the speed running community.

I just had this thought, and I figured I'd share it. If I were an anthropologist, I would want to study speed running. The way the community spurted from dedicated hobbists, and how well it is self regulated.

I unironically think there is a lot to learn from the speed running about building a society that is resistant to corruption.

I guess my main question to the speed running community is, why didn't all of you take over the world yet? 😂.

I find watching actual runs boring, but videos about finding glitches, the different rules, the self regulation and spotting cheaters. I wish politicians were like this!
