>>42364417You're missing the point of what he's saying, he's saying that even if Speedrunning is a fucking useless skill, you can still find a genuine community to engage in it with, make connections and play on a huge stage for charity. I also think Speedrunning is retarded but AGDQ is still fun to watch.
Soft resetting is all the retardation of speedrunning without any of the potentially positive attributes, you can hack a Shiny Latias in 3 seconds, you can't hack the technical skill it takes to speedrun a game in front of a huge crowd. Even if both speed running and soft resetting are garbage, worthless skills, soft resetting is somehow even more worthless because all your hours spent can be replicated in seconds by a 12 year old with PKHex.
