The kid with the slideshow honestly impressed me. How the hell do you play a game that goes .03 frames per second? He somehow managed to navigate even without being able to see literally anything he was doing at any given time

Speedruns that make it to the leaderboard where they’re just…playing the game…but they’re within the rules of the speedrun are always so fucking funny

I just love how that dude at 3:28 just casually shows word file with his “14th century Europe” history essay. Maybe, he is not a good speedrunner but at least he does his homework

Evil AstralSpiff be like: "I have access to your hard drive"

I mean. Getting the worst Speedrun is also kinda an accomplishment

"I'm not gonna call out any names, because that would be unfair to the runner." Proceeds to name and shame his roommates speedrun at the end*

there actually is a thing called a slowrun. you know what's harder than finishing an entire game under 5 minutes? spending 72 consecutive hours on one game.

11:35 "Important! I'm not a professional speedrunner, and this is my first run! Don't go hard on me!"

Imagine a 70 hour speedrun that seems legitimate but then uses cheats at the 69 mark would be soul sucking to verify

That pirate person has a lot of russian files (not really surprising, pirating in Russia has absolutely no consequences lol) - a lot of them are school/university projects, there is a Pirates of the Caribbean OST, and there is even a progress/attendance report pdf. All of these, combined with torrenting a game, made me so nostalgic for my childhood?? Kid, whoever you are, you are a blessing, keep doing what you're doing and godspeed

4:43 The game just looks like it's running slowly, but he's actually splicing every frame

"Yeah man, I'm a speedrunner. What's my rig look like? Oh man, it's high end. I got a 1000MHz 1 core Celeron. I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds fast."

11:30 it's funny to hear that it looks ominous because this disclaimer is literally just "this is my first speedrun please be nice"

the amount of people who are competent enough to speedrun a game and submit but not enough to realize links in the file explorer aren't accessible is astounding to me

3:25 HELP the person who submitted this is probably like??? 11-12 years old?? (since they have a file called "the history of XIV century" and in Russia its studied in 6th grade)

ironically, the kid with the video that was going 0.3 frames per second, was definitely a legit run, it was just impossible to tell. the kid might have had a stable fps when playing, so it mightve been an issue with his recording software. watching his timer pause when the frames pause it absolutely matched up 100% legit best speedrun cant wait to see that kid at the top of the leaderboard one day

aw man i feel so bad for the black screen guy. you can tell from his message that he tried his hardest and a recording error denied him any credit for his work.

Look, he occupies the lowest rank on the leaderboard so nobody else has to feel bad. Even if the best you can do is 9 minutes, you can still submit it and think "I'm at least twice as fast as that guy!"

I think the people sending links to their hard drives just tried to drag the files on the submition page, that's probably my best guess.

Someone should have a completely legitimate run but have a rickroll at the end

If making the longest speedrun isn't rule breaking, then now I know what I'm going to do with my life secretly for the entirety of 2022. Of course not going to make 5-10 hour long ones, because I wouldn't even last that long.

This video reminds me of something that simultaneously makes sense but kinda blows my mind, which is that current young kids have NO idea what files are. No idea what a hard drive is. They're all super computer-savvy because of how technological their lives are, but because of how everything is app or social media based, they don't know how it actually works. It's pretty adorable lmfao

As someone who does IT, linking to their own PCs is not the stupidest thing I've had to deal with, it's up there though.

hell yeah one of my favorite youtubers uploaded again 11:33 says “Important, i’m not a professional speedrunner and this is my first speedrun, don’t judge strictly”

“Lore is more important than anything else in life” MatPat, is that you????

I have no knowledge of speedrunning, nor am I an aspiring speedrunner, but something about you is so damn funny and charismatic that I've watched six videos in a row now.

You know you need to upgrade when you start measuring in SPF instead of FPS.

11:11 funniest part about this is it's in their downloads folder, which means unless they thought that the downloads folder was a way of sending things, they actually downloaded the video from somewhere before submitting it

Oh lmao, didn't know my run was included in this video. Edit: AYAYA

i know what was happening with the kid with the slideshow, i know because i use to have the problem myself, on my old laptop whenever i tried to record the game would run fine but when rewatching it, it would turn into a slideshow, i think this happens because there is a lack of resources to do both and i assume the game take piority.

Reminds me of working on public beta testing forms, we'd get some people who I was genuinely surprised they could have known enough about computers to even try video games

That disclaimer at 11:28 translates somewhat as "Important! I'm not a professional spedrunner and this is my first speedrun! Don't judge me too harsh!". Btw that guys system with a pirated copy on is also in russian. I just find it kinda funny: you can't let your guard down cuz there always be russians waiting to strike while you're not looking x)

I think those file directory links happen when you try and drag a file (such as from your desktop) into a text box. They thought they were dragging and dropping their files but instead it just put a directory link.

The last one is what I like to call a “slowrun”

this shit makes me wanna be a poppy playtime mod. ive always wanted 69 runs pending for verification. some of these fails tho lmaooooo

time to attempt the longest permissible slowrun of the game

The guy who only went until they got the red hand clearly was just too scared to play the rest of the game lmao

"For this last speedrun it was submitted by my room mate" That had to be awkward lol

“We can’t access your hard drive!” That’s what they want you to think.

Aiivan really popped off with popularity since he started playing that game. Guys kinda a great guy when he did Payback 2 lol

Honestly the one sent in by your roommate makes me really happy, because I and a bunch of other people I know don't speedrun because "that's only for the highest level players". Your roommate is like "ok but y tho? I can play the game too, and I can challenge myself if no one else." and for some reason that just really fills me with hope. Anyone can speedrun :)

11:40 the warning on the screen says "IMPORTANT! I am not a professional speed runner. Do not judge strictly!" They just want people to go easy on them.

9:00 for a second i thought that was an actual person in the speed run talking

12:10 “Mod note: Kek” Sounds like something my buddy Death’d do

11:35 The russian text translates to : Important! I'm not a professional speedrunner and this is my first speedrun Don't judge to strong

honestly it warmed my heart when he verified that one little kid.

For the first speedrun submission, I do kinda wonder how well a blind speedrun would work. I imagine some professional speedruns could probably adapt and predict a game they've had no prior knowledge of if it feels similar to another game.

I will always respect people who play through a whole game while only seeing 2 frames a second. I have been there with games like Minecraft years ago on my family’s shared laptop and it’s so painful but man, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t make some fond memories on painful slow computers.

I relate to that poor kid with the shitty computer trying to make the game work, that used to be me

11:28 This translates to: I'm not a professional speedrunner and this is my first speedrun! Don't judge strictly!

I feel like getting the slowest time on a speed run leaderboard is an amazing idea. Just find the average time to complete and then try and outclass and take your time doing it to be legal, but wayyyyyyy too slow

i keep coming back to this video bc it’s so sweet when he approves the kid’s slideshow-speedrun (and badmouths his roommate)

10:13 this person deserves a special new category for them

13:26 When he gets caught and he's shaking in fear... I felt that.

"Promotion for Spiff From £0 an hour to £0 per an hour" That had me laughing

the things that hurts me most is the "activate windows" and "linking to your hard drive"

I cant image being a mod for more popular speed running games lmao

10:00 It's a Speedrun category for those not wanting to do the scary parts of the game

5:28 dude recorded his speedrun as powerpoint presentation

8:25 this is an ADHD mood

The kids linking their hard drive files reminds me of the time my college friend sent me a link to their Amazon Shopping cart… it was simply the Amazon shopping cart link, so it sent me to my cart. She didn’t understand and even said “the link sends me to my cart tho!” and “why can’t you see it?” Lmao.

12:23 I've always wanted to do that with any other game. like "I want to be the slowest ever Speedrun, get rekt nerdz" or something like that

The Russian text before the speedrun says: "IMPORTANT! I am not a professional speedrunner, and this is my first sppedrun. Don't be harsh when rating!" Last part is not a direct translation but I did what I could.

Question, can you deny speedruns based off their times? Is there a minimum time they need to get in order to be in the leaderboard?

7:00 I've heard of blind runs but this is something else

0:36 nah bro "Promotion for Spiff From £0 an hour to £0 an hour"

8:25 got me WHEEZING what a legend honestly

I remember this one time I submitted a run of Portal, and I looked back and realized the demo (that is what idTech and goldsrc/source use as an alternative for video files which works by making instructions that can be played back in the game.) stopped recording some way in after i died. Anyways, somehow the run was accepted.

Bruh! I can't get over the people who sent th link from their computer

Your roommate did a beautiful thing, submitted the worst possible time meaning no one will ever be worse than him letting everyone who submits a verifiable run know they will never be the worst any% runner of it.

For anyone who is wondering, the text at 11:28 reads: "Important! I am not a professional speedrunner, and this is is my first speed run! Don't judge to strictly!"

11:32 I’ve been learning Russian so I believe that this says “IMPORTANT! I am not a professional speedrunner, and this is my first speedrun! Do not judge strictly!” Tell me if I got anything wrong

11:36 it said “Important! STAF I am not a professional speedrun, AND THIS IS MY First speedrun! Do not judge strictly!”

Seeing the last one makes me want to submit a speed run worse than that lol

Hey at least those submissions that didn't let you access the files weren't Zelda speedruns. I'd expect those people to be familiar with links.

The slide show looked similar to my first playthrough. That was the moment when I realised I won't be able to speedrun on 6fps :')

I'm definitely going to submit a run that is 1 week long.

They removed red hand skip... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Because lore is more important than anything in life." **MatPat coughs in the distance**

9:27 LORE IS LIFE

This somewhat inspires me to try to run the any% speedrun just because I think I could probably beat that 19minute run XD

6:05 hey! I finally found someone whos computer is worse than my laptop when I tell you my laptop is bad its bad and surprisingly that was worse congratulation dude :D (My laptop isn't old it's just the components XD)

Honestly really like the idea of looking through the submission of the runs, it is entertaining! Keep up the amazing work!

Already been subscribed to Spiff for almost a year. Time has absolutely flown by me. This was the first Spiff vid I ever watched. Congrats, Spiff, for how far you've come, and how far you will continue to go.

When you have multiple people making the exact same mistake (like submitting their local file address rather than a link to YT) it's generally a sign of a problem that's easily solved by making your form/process clearer for future users. Clearer instructions = less rejections = fewer mod headaches! 👍 In this case, I'd bet that the submitters are more familiar with online forms that ask you to upload a document directly (ie. where you locate the file on your local drive & hit 'upload') rather than uploading the file to a separate site like YT & then providing the link to that site. It would be an easy mistake to make if you're not regularly dealing with video files.

Parents stop giving kids unregulated internet access challenge

That first description explaining the situation by saying "Idk how to use microsoft" is gold

The 1 day of this game being obscure was pretty cool, I watched manlybadasshero play it and I thought "Wow this looks pretty cool, i wanna see where this goes" And then the internet did what the internet does and fucking ruined it in less than a week, just like they did with Bendy and the Ink Machine, early fnaf, fucking everything

These videos are so good! Keep it up man You deserve more subs

Gotta give props to your roommate's speedrun tho, epic!

Loved the informative slideshow presentation on a Poppy Playtime speedrun, 10/10

3:10 funniest moment imo: "...and the description, is 'hi' ..." * silent pause and zoom in * spiff: "hi" * smiles *

2:57 bro he's so fast that you can't the game

10:52 had me on the floor laughing

"Please provide link to the speedrun video" Instructions unclear, provided unrestricted access to my entire hard drive instead

11:31 it says "IMPORTANT!" "Im not a professional speedrunner, and this is my first speedrun." "Dont judge too strictly!"

A beautiful video! Well done 👍 Also NikedMan probably sprained his pinky or something so he couldn’t run

10:35 "Spending aboot 5 minutes in the battery room" oh no, he's canadian.

4:17 :) AYAYA

Wow, great video! Amazing editing as well!
