Imagine you're in a Pokemon center and some kid runs in and just starts running into the corners over and over for several minutes. You ask them why they're doing it and they say they're waiting for their 'eleven siblings' to 'catch up' with them. Then after a while, they walk over to the counter, get their pokemon healed, and then leave, with no sign of any of the supposed siblings.

[@lukaskback9710]

It would be very funny to watch this in a game where movement is actually important, like Super Mario, and just run the games at slightly different speeds, like 100-111%. While the RNG makes this run a bit more interesting, a lot of it is just grinding to get everything synced as well as possible.

It would be fun to see any speedrunner try to optimize this, even with fewer games running. For example, would the rng manip for the starter be feasible with so many instances of the game?

[@spencerbchang]

i don't know how well this could work but i could imagine it being more chaotic and this funnier if you looked only at one game at a time, but it cycled through them after a set period of time. you would try to play normally, but as other games are also being controlled, it would lead to some funny situations
