What's the point of playing video games?

>you'll never beat somebody so hard in a video game they switch genders

The same point as playing video games. It wastes time in a fun way.

"became a woman" is giving a little too much credit

Recognition and to be the best at something.

What's the point of living?

To try and get some sort of feeling of accomplishment in an otherwise shitty life.

To attempt to make money in a world that otherwise is too scary and hard work and doesn't let them sit in a room using the only skills they've developed in life.

It's containment. The Jews have been trying to sterilize whites in a peaceful nonviolent manner for centuries. Video games are easy to get white people into, and once into them, they become obsessed to the point of forgoing sexual opportunities.

Basically, everything awful in modern society up and to and including vidya is because of Jews.

Why does this have so many views?

Beaten so hard it switched genders, denounced its entire previous identity then tried to claim ownership of all accomplishments from previous identity when the new one didn't work out.

He didn't become one, just started fressing and whining like one.

Who will he mindbreak this time?

I like how John's specialty was playing Smash, which has nothing to do with finishing a game quickly. And he still kicked someone's ass who is supposed to be the best speedrunner in the world, at completing a game faster than someone else.
I still enjoy watching speedrunning, but it just further proves that it's nothing but relentless practice that only gets you good at one thing.
By playing competitive games, John actually has better reaction time and is better at reacting to different situations. For example, that Mario Maker level that neither one of them played.
All Cosmo and most speedrunners are good at is just memorizing what to do for something you've already done roughly the exact same way hundreds of times. That's all speedrunning is, just about memory. Of course you're going to get better at doing the same thing a hundred time, but it's about the worst "skilled gaming" thing you can do as far as improving your ability to play games overall.

What's the point of playing VIDEO GAMES?

This but unironically

Optimizing a system structure down to its purest elements.
>whats the point of time trial racing
>whats the point of sucessfully launching a rocket into space
>whats the point of cooking a good meal
>whats the point of military drills
I'm no speedrunner, but it is apparent as to why they do it: optimize a system. Gaming itself is just a series of (mostly) closed systems interacting with each other. Yeah its autismal, but civilization was built on the backs of similar autism.

Having fun
You need to be autistic to enjoy speedrunning

This.

>watch Trihex do his Yoshi Island speedrun
>holy shit this man is a god
>watch him play any other game
>mfw

You need to be autistic to enjoy video games

JOHN FUCKING NUMBERS

Sometimes its fun to see tricks/tipps and techniques by people who has torn the game a new one.

For some it's fun:

TASing is for autists that can actually apply themselves
