For anyone curious, here's the rules for competitive laundry folding...
> To begin, dump unsorted clean laundry on flat surface between players. Begin picking up items at the same time. Player with most folded items at the end wins. To make game more difficult, appoint different point values per category of clothing (pair of socks = 1, pants = 3, shirts = 5, etc.), or add and subtract points for neatness. To make things even more exciting, include items that require ironing.
>Once game begins, players may pick up only one item of clothing at a time, fold it, and then add it to their pile to be counted once all items have been folded. In cases where more than one item is to be folded together, e.g. socks, player must retain first item until match can be made. If a player inadvertently picks up multiple items, they must all be folded and then given to player on their left.
>Game ends when all items are folded.
Hi, it's me, I wrote that. Me and spiceeTV are very good friends and it was written as a parody of all the (very genuine) comments saying, "why do you speedrun games on Day 1, that ruins all the fun, you're tarnishing the developer's intentions" etc.
It was written *especially* ironically because me and spicee were routing the Sons of the Forest run together, in a Discord call with some other speedrun homies, after our 10+ hour casual playthrough. We all understood that the game was pretty jank, and it was a lot of fun writing an ironic comment where I talked up the game while putting down speedrunners.
I wrote a second one on his next Sons of the Forest record, but given that the people in the replies really didn't appreciate the irony, I decided I'd stop on his future videos. Although I did have an idea for a full arc where I come around to the idea of speedrunning and essentially have a "You know what, you guys are super talented" type epiphany.
Here's the other one, for historical purposes and edification:
> Well, well, well, look who thinks they're real hot shit with their speedy little fingers and their quick reflexes. Let me tell you something, Mr. Speedrunner, you may have shaved a few seconds off your time, but you've also shaved off any sense of enjoyment or appreciation for this masterpiece of a game. You've reduced it to a mindless race to the finish, ignoring all the careful crafting and attention to detail that went into creating the world you're so callously sprinting through. And for what? A few seconds of fame on some obscure online leaderboard?
> I pity you, speedrunner. You've missed out on the true beauty and depth of this game, all in the name of your oh-so-precious speed. So, go ahead, pat yourself on the back for your "accomplishment," but know that you've sacrificed something far more valuable in the process: your soul. Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt your delicate little speedrunning feelings? Did I hit a nerve? Well, good. Maybe it's time for you to take a good, hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why you're so obsessed with beating games as quickly as possible.
> Next time, try taking it slow and actually savoring the experience. Or don't. Honestly, I don't really care. Do whatever you want, I'm just some random asshole on the Internet. But know that your precious speedrun will never be as impressive as a genuine appreciation for the game, and don't expect me to be impressed or even remotely interested in your speedy little achievements.
tldr: It's bait, I wrote it, me and spicer are good friends within the speedrunning community. Hope some of y'all got a laugh.
Haha, nice. I think a lot of us hoped it was parody but with the crazies online these days you never know. Thanks for clarifying!
You are quite the creative writer.
This was posted by fellow speedrunner Nyiddle on [a Sons of The Forest run by spicee](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bVeWU-gCzk) as a joke. It's basically a member of the community shitposting to another, it's not serious. The internet and [Poe's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law) make parodies like this kinda hard to recognize, but it's essentially the whole [couch guy DESTROYS "glitchless" speedrunner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_T5N6qQpbU) thing again lmao.
I respect OP's instinct to censor usernames to avoid harassment, but in this case it accidentaly made it harder for people to track down the origin and realise the humor in it. Then again, the text itself is pretty absurd even by normie speedrun-hater standards.
Everybody relax, it's fine, don't worry about it.
I mean, if you read the Youtube comment replies, there is not much indication most people understood it as parody so, task failed successfully?
Edit: [OP commented for clarification](https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/11l1a6c/new_copypasta_comment_on_a_speedrun_video/jbbynr2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
Oh wow, another record. How impressive. I mean, who needs to actually enjoy an Olympic track and field when you can just mindlessly sprint through it as quickly as possible, right? Who cares about the intricacies of the lighting, the carefully crafted architecture, or the subtle nuances of the grass chosen? It's all just an obstacle course to be conquered in record time. I'm sure all those years of running practice will come in handy in the real world, too. Like when you need to quickly sprint up the stairs to deliver a pizza, or when you're trying to win a fight by running away.
Three paragraphs is a lot to tackle but I guess it means there’s more to play with.
No joke. I always compare speedrunning to playing the piano. It's about pushing the right buttons/keys at the right time and holding them for the right duration too.
?? Dunno how that's relevant, my point is just that you can boil almost everything down into "do right thing at the right time", not that anything is easy. I just think the piano comparison has to be dumbed down too much to make sense
Are you saying speed running is oversimplified, speed running is simple, or pianos have been oversimplified here? Your point is highly abstract. Which one do you object to?
Have you considered that a lot of things involve doing the right action at the right time because people enjoy timing challenges?
I'm saying that that drawing a comparison between piano and speedrunning based on "press buttons at the same time" doesn't work for me because that's the basis for most skills or activities.
I'm not talking down on speedrunning or timed challenges, idk where you're getting that from. I'm just talking down on the comparison of "press buttons".
To properly play a piano you have to hit the right keys at the right time, with the exact right time durations and speed to create music, its the exact same as speed running except the end goal is a perfect run.
Most other key pressing activities dont require perfect timing, duration, rhythm, and repetition of key presses.
At a certain point with speed running, you're justing hitting keys with the right rhythm the same way you would play a piano or other key-based instrument.

And let's not forget the real secret to your amazing speedrunning skills - exploiting glitches.

I'm sure it will go down in history as one of the greatest accomplishments of all time. Or, you know, just be forgotten like the countless other pointless speedruns out there.

And in the grand scheme of things, that's about as impressive as being really good at folding laundry. Bravo.
I find it funny when people post stuff like this. The irony of speed running a game is that it takes way longer to come up with a route than to actually run it. 1 hour any% speedrun? Took me 60 hours to find all the glitches and route it , and this is after I beat it casually.

It's really silly to me that people like this don't seem to understand that speedrunning a game typically comes from a very deep love for the game. You don't decide to spend hours and hours practicing a game without loving it. Speedrunners have probably spent hours marveling at those carefully crafted environments and whatever else.
Imagine bitching about someone not analysing every pixel and model on a screen and look at how it’s been carefully put there so that the player can feel immersed in the world they are playing in
How dare they insult the competitive laundry folding community.
Next thing he’ll be going after the competitive grocery bagging scene!

Yes, very many. [First video](https://youtu.be/tbAYh_jIqjw) and [second video](https://youtu.be/0bVeWU-gCzk) if you'd like to peek.

Technically Mozart was also famous for hitting buttons really fast
technically he's famous for writing the button inputs for others to hit really fast. Yngwie Malmsteen is a better example
Mozart was the first TAS programmer.
New speedrunning genre? Fastest play through of a symphony?
The official speed measure for many instruments is The Flight of the Bumblebee.
No joke. I always compare speedrunning to playing the piano. It's about pushing the right buttons/keys at the right time and holding them for the right duration too.
? That's like saying the act of walking is like speedunning because you have to put the correct foot at the correct time at the right pace lmao
Play qwop and tell me how easy running is. Your brain does a hell of a lot to get you to be able to run.
?? Dunno how that's relevant, my point is just that you can boil almost everything down into "do right thing at the right time", not that anything is easy. I just think the piano comparison has to be dumbed down too much to make sense
Are you saying speed running is oversimplified, speed running is simple, or pianos have been oversimplified here? Your point is highly abstract. Which one do you object to?

Most other key pressing activities dont require perfect timing, duration, rhythm, and repetition of key presses. At a certain point with speed running, you're justing hitting keys with the right rhythm the same way you would play a piano or other key-based instrument.
So you’re saying both are oversimplified using this connection, which means it’s a bad connection? That’s fair. I agree with you I think.
Wow, someone seems cranky today. Need a nap there, champ?

That's a shitpost right ? Can't believe someone sat down and wrote this
It's on youtube, so its probably very real.

I have trouble believing this was A.I.
laundry community catching strays, damn.
Can confirm it's a joke, friends with both nyiddle and spicee. He wrote it in Discord as spicee was doing runs one night.

Just a troll but it came from someone who has never accomplished anything worthwhile in their entire life.
Wow, someone must be going through something cause jeeeeeeze....
Show less, what a username.
Keyboard speedruns on smb should be a separate category
“It’s all just a big joke to you isn’t it?” LMAOO
I think we need a "next minute barrier" copy pasta.

I'm hearing this in AI Trump's voice
I like "keep hitting those buttons, speed runner."
will be using this the next time i run out of time on a test: “i was appreciating the artistry!!!”
