I bet Dragon would be a really good speedrunner, if she put in the time to learn and practice. She's obviously busy most of the time, but she would probably have some free time between Gold Morning and when electrical/electronic infrastructure gets set back up. Maybe she'd get into it during that time.

What kind of games would Dragon run? Maybe this is all the OneShortEye videos I've been binging lately, but I feel like adventure games would appeal to her. On one hand, there's genuinely a lot of skill that goes into adventure games; on the other hand, it's not the kind of skill where an AI would have an insurmountable, unfair advantage.

There are a lot of obstacles for an adventure game speedrunner, thouguh, not the least of which being that many of them were designed for obsolete hardware. It needs to be emulated, but emulations obviously pose challenges to speedrunning. You want an emulator that provides everyone with a fair, level playing field, but you also need it to be faster than other available options, otherwise runners will gravitate towards the fast options. Luckily, if anyone could handle this kind of challenge, Dragon can. After speedrunning for a while, she'd probably set aside some time to work on those sorts of tools.

But eventually, she would have to stop. Her duties as a superhero would occupy too much of her time. At that point, she might well just vanish from the community, not saying anything final in case she found the time to come back. Maybe she would, one day; or maybe when she decided she'd never be able to, she'd send a message back to the Discord servers letting people know what was going on. But until then, her disappearance would be another quiet enigma, leaving unsolved mysteries and half-explained skips behind her.

There are a couple of speedrun history YouTubers I've been watching lately—Summoning Salt, the 700-pound gorilla of speedrun history videos, and OneShortEye, who I suppose would be a couple ounces if we continue that metaphor.

There are two interlocked differences between Salt and Eye: Eye focuses on classic adventure games, particularly Sierra games, and he's an active adventure game speedrunner. One side effect of this is that Eye regularly gets interviews with the speedrunners in his video, because he knows them. All of this, I think, contributes to the biggest difference I notice in the tone of their videos.

Speedrunning is an oxymoronic activity, a cooperative competition. Definitionally, it's an effort to reach the lowest time, to beat everyone else's score. However, more progress is made by the community discovering new tricks that everyone can use once demonstrated than by individual runners getting better at the game. That "paradox" is part of what I find interesting about speedrunning!

Broadly speaking, Summoning Salt's videos frame the history of a speedrun as a competition between different runners, trying to surpass each other, while OneShortEye's frame it as a competition between the community and the game. It's not about Lumophile and UrQuan and RetroTKS competing over who can do the best, it's about all of them discovering how to best conquer the game.

And I don't think this is because Eye covers adventure games and Salt (mostly) covers racing games, platformers, and Punch-Out! Playing a game at a top speedrunner level is just different than playing casually, especially for games designed to be played slowly and thoughtfully. When speedrunning Space Quest, you know all (non-RNG-based) inputs you'll make long before you make them—but the same is true of Mario Kart! In both cases, the skill comes from inputting them correctly, as quickly as possible.

And OneShortEye points this out. He points out how certain runners are skilled at certain things, both at finding new exploits and at execution, some in general and some focused on specific games. Summoning Salt will occasionally note that one player is "more skilled" than others, but aside from the odd button-masher, I can't recall him ever explaining what skills set one speedrunner ahead of others.

Let me repeat that. OneShortEye puts more focus on the skills possessed by individual runners, but his videos frame speedrunning as a communal challenge rather than an individual competition.

Why? Well, part of it is just that the adventure game speedrunning community is tighter-knit. speedrun.com only lists a couple dozen speedrunners of the King's Quest series, fewer than run specifically All Night Nippon Super Mario Brothers, a game you've probably only heard about from that one jan Misali video. It's easier to find a feeling of community when most of the speedrunners in a video share a Discord server.

But it's also easier to find a feeling of community when you look. Even if Summoning Salt covered a game with a community the size of OneShortEye's, he wouldn't show as much of that community, because for the most part, Salt doesn't do interviews. He looks at the stats, digs through old community posts, and presents his findings.

To be clear, I'm not saying this is a bad way to make videos. It works! I like his videos! But it also means that Salt's personal voice is very strong, shaping the video and its "message" even more than it would if he "just" wrote, narrated, and edited everything. And also, AFAIK, Salt is not a speedrunner—or at least, not a speedrunner who shows up in the middle of videos to claim a world record. {EDIT: It turns out he actually is a speedrunner. I still think my thesis holds, though.}

I'm not sure what the alchemy is here. Some of it is OneShortEye's personal beliefs about speedrunning, which he had explicitly stated even before he started making videos. Some of it is that the people he interviews also share those beliefs. But I think some of it is that Eye has that insider's view, that he knows what it's like to be a speedrunner, that he embraces it.

But then, I'm biased. I also think speedrunners compete against the game, not each other. And I wish more people thought of it that way!
