As a radical leftist I in fact play every RPG to 100% completion and do multiple playthroughs to obtain all achievements as well so I do not respect speedrunners who by and large are just exploiting glitches to complete otherwise mundane playthroughs where they miss as much content as possible just to get to the credits asap.

speedrunning entails knowing on a deep level the inner workings of a game. capitalism is also a game. the connection is obvious

If I remember right, the speedrunning community had a transphobia problem at some point but when prominent speedrunners started bailing and trying to form their own speedrunning communities, the speedrunning community got their shit together and kicked out the chvds so things could stay easy to rank without needing to compare like 20 different platforms to know the ranking for a particular speedrun. Also trans people are pretty good at speedrunning so if you ran a chvd friendily platform for it you'd get constantly mogged by the ones that weren't.

i used to be into 100% completion, eventually looking up guides for things i might miss. for smaller, decision-based rpgmaker games this experience can be bearable, because a lot of the time you know what you want but not what you're getting. i think most types of missable content are bad game design though: what's the point of something deliberately hidden so many players won't see it? i just want to have fun playing the game and not open a guide every few minutes or constantly feel like i just missed something. night in the woods, which i'm currently playing, is somewhat of a counter-example, where many interactions are optional yet the barrier to them being usually quite low.

Just as capitalism is a social construct so is a bideo game running on made up rules that you can break.
