As I said, you know the country was fucked when speedrunning caught on https://twitter.com/buffalocialism/status/1278062491692605441
Serious btw. Quality of timesink matters, and speedrunning is the sort of ultra-repetitive, incredibly low pay-off shit that almost exclusively young men who are absolutely cornered by life with nothing else to do engage in https://twitter.com/acczibit/status/1270007781115023360?s=19
It's not about whether or not it "matters," it's about satisfaction with one's idle time. If you're some guy boozing and sleeping around a lot you'll at least feel like you're not completely wasting your youth
Not so for beating the same game 99999 times https://twitter.com/evrythingstays/status/1278261555654729730?s=19

Watch the video in my other post I linked. That shit is complete self-awareness
Speedrunning is the sort of "hobby" that falls into the "at least it's better than suicide/shooting up the school or workplace/building roadside bombs" category. It's the purest form of timesink

It's on the same level as ranking your top 370 pornstars and revising it all day every day
If one guy does it it's curious and funny, if a bunch of people do it it's kinda weird and unsettling, if a shitload of men engage in it there's a problem that'll blow up sooner or later

If we think of it in terms of the "status economy" it means status has become so scarce and inaccessible that men will devote their lives to chasing extremely minor and temporary status bumps
They are pauperized proles in this regard, and many starving proles leads to unrest

It's essentially self-sedation to survive incredible amounts of idle time for young men so atomized they don't even have the minimum social circle necessary for access to drugs https://twitter.com/EvanPlatinum/status/1278266657220161537?s=19
You can make young men watch as you force them to throw their creative energies in a dumpster, burn them on a pyre, dump them in the sewer etc by way of speedrunning and similar apex timesinks because society doesn't need that surplus for only so long https://twitter.com/acczibit/status/1277799753938501633?s=19
