I love videogames, understanding how a speedrun is made is technically fascinating for me and I am also known to love some other things under the appropiate set and setting[1]... but I'll defend the OP because certainly don't think it follows that someone is a bad human that needs to do drugs just because they don't see the allure of Super Mario 64 and the people who are knowledge-hungry and obsess in understanding its guts.

[1]: Readers please do the research before experimenting, you are tweaking your brain's running config with extremely opaque tooling that is not fully understood. Most of the time the calamity-event chance is low, it's a high impact event if it happens. Plural of anecdotes is not data, and oh do people confuse these.

I'm not dismissing anyone, nor am I a "DARE kid", nor am I projecting my own "meaningless life." I'm simply sharing my own unprocessed genuine reaction to this kind of content, and trying to see if anyone else can relate to it. You obviously don't, which is fine, but I don't see why you seem to be taking it personally.
