>a core tenet of speedrunning is preserving old games, not destroying them.
That is not a core tenant of speed running. Software preservation is completely separate from speed running.
- account42 5mo agoIt's not entirely unrelated in that speed runs help preserve a community around the game.
- charcircuit 5mo agoA very different community both in kind and demographics. It introduces a new community to the game rather than preserving what once existed.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 5mo agoThis comment made me think of pencil sharpening speedruns in the context of "preservation". Had a good chuckle. Quite a different mindset: the point is to sharpen a pencil (or 10) as fast as possible. https://www.speedrun.com/pencil?h=In_Real_Life-Drillless-10_Pencils&rules=game https://www.speedrun.com/pencil?h=In_Real_Life-Drillless-10_... (Not to mention hardware preservation is separate from software preservation and hardware preservation is rarely referring to pencils.)
