Speedrunning is a gaming practice where players aim to complete a video game as quickly as possible. This can involve using specific strategies, glitches, or shortcuts to minimize the time taken. Speedrunners often compete against each other or try to beat their own records, and they may use timers to track their progress. The speedrunning community is active and shares techniques through online platforms. Events like Games Done Quick showcase speedrunning, raising money for charity while entertaining viewers. Players often record their runs and submit them to leaderboards, creating a competitive environment that encourages skill improvement and innovation.
