Minecraft’s SLOWEST Speedruns (NO SHOWERS)

I've wanted to make this video for a long time, just got distracted. It's crazy stuff. Should this be something we care about or should it be completely discouraged? NOTE: at 15:32 Septix does indeed have diamond armor.

Yet, even worse, I can no longer get an erection for my wife. I spent last night feeling like a fucking fool. A bumbling idiot. An arrogant loser who had no idea what his mind could handle... and then decided to jump off the highest peak possible. I will never be the same. I'm fucked. Completely and utterly fucked. I should have stopped while I was ahead. Two minutes in... sure it's a fucking blast.... 9:22 though.... Gives me nightmares. That moment right there... It Is fucking burned into my mind forever and I believe I will look back on that exact moment as the worst 4 or so seconds of my life that I ever had to endure. I have felt anxious recently... uncontrollable sadness, irritability, uncontrollable bowel movements, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, an inability to sit or stand for more than an hour at a time, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, blood pressure, bouts of mania, bouts of suicidal ideations, bouts to come over uwu, dry mouths, dry eyes, dry bones, severe blisters, rash, allergic reactions, a painful, permanent erection that lasts for more than 8 hours, a painful, permanent erection that lasts for 7 hours and 46 and a half minutes or more, nightmares, vivid dreams, intense dreams, insomnia, lucid dreams, vivid nightmares, nightmarish vivid-like dreams, intensely vivid dreams, nightmare-like intense vivid dreams, intense and vivid lucid nightmares, insomnia brought on by intense and vivid lucid nightmares, screaming, crying, scream-crying, looking up at the sky fucking begging for mercy just to realize the only person watching is your neighbor steve, as always, and to be honest you have just fucking had it with steve, so you go into your house and grab your revolver and march over to steves fucking house and take your anger out in the worst way pyshically possible by taking this mans life, hives and constipation. yeah but overall it was like an 9/10.

My thoughts is slowruns is basically just an alternate meme% kind of category, I think it's fine as long as the people doing them take care of themselves. Besides you probably have to be equally as dedicated to get the top slowrun as you would the top speedrun at a certain point of it which I think is quite fun.

[@ultraliskbuilder5831]

There are some games where it can take 20+ hours to beat, mostly long RPG games with 100% completion. The 100% category of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, also takes more than one day to beat.

[@pocketsizedweeb]

The FNaF: Security Breach 600% category allows breaks since you have to play the game 6 times at 100%.

[@PhantomRaptor1]

I feel like whoever named them slowruns missed out on an opportunity to call them snailwalks.

[@dymaxion3988]

I want to see a slowrun competition with more relaxed rules, so runners are allowed to save and come back later. The object would be to maximize in-game time spent before beating the ender dragon. By letting runners take breaks, it would discourage idling: because there is no theoretical limit on the top time, runners that idle will get bored and quit before those that don’t, leading to a tortoise & hare situation. It would basically be a competition to see who can have the most fun in a MC let’s play without beating the game. And verification would be as simple as showing the stats screen with the in-game timer at the beginning and end of each session.

[@mr_h831]

I think slow running should have it's own category, but there should be some rules. 1 you cannot endanger yourself. You have to live your daily life whatever it happens to be, in despite of the run. 2 you cannot log off. It has to be a consecutive run. 3 you cannot pad with afk time. You have to stay active in the game. Maximum afk time per break should be 8-12 hours. 4 once submitted, you have to post time stamps in the description of when your afk times start. List them by number in consecutive order. (I.E "First afk time: 8:00:00 in. Second afk time, 15:00:00 hours in." Etc etc. It is possible that an end time may be required too, it depends on how much easier this actually makes it for mods to find the afk times.) This way, mods dont have to search for years for how long you've spent afk. This type of run would likely require you to keep a log book.

[@chrisdawson1776]

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

I had an experience like this once myself. It's gonna sound like shilling, and it kinda is. Not exactly a deliberate slow run, but definitely a *slow run.* The game Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords was a game I loved playing on my R4 on the DS, and when I found out it had a PC port I decided "fuck it, I'm making a category for this." And since categories do require a video, I decided to speedrun it, little more than a glorified quick playthrough as I grinded monsters, died, went up to take a piss, had some lunch, and rambled for 7 hours until I finally finished the first speedrun of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. In a few months someone took 3 hours off my time, and I laughed at how bad I am at the game.

[@ryninja5788]

For the mad lads thinking about the legendary 999hr run, that is approximately 41.625 days straight. This is also assuming that when they say 999hr is the max, that means it has 0 min and 0 seconds. The only run I believe capable of doing this with a purpose for being this long is doing a getting to the farlands% then beat the ender dragon. For those who don’t know what the farlands are, look up Antvenom’s videos on the farlands.

[@umanair2724]

Don't the farlands not even exist anymore? In the modern versions of the game.

[@ryninja5788]

@@umanair2724 there are mods that can re-enable them in future versions. But I don’t know if that extends to 1.18, since the video that Antvenom made about the mod came out well before 1.18 released, and I know that 1.18 drastically changed how terrain generation works. But since the record boards use 1.16, I think there is a version of the mod that supports it.

It's one thing if a speed-run just takes a long time to complete due to it's nature (like Twilight Princess Low%), but we shouldn't be encouraging people to upload what are essentially full on let's plays to the leader-boards, as that defeats the whole "games done quick" spirit of speed-running in the first place.

[@deciett]

In my opinion, the moderators of each game should come up with reasonable guidelines for how long a run can be before it gets automatically rejected due to being too long. I figure for most games, 16 hours is a reasonable upper limit unless the run happens to take longer than that normally. But that can be handled on a per-game basis, obviously. Something like whichever is longer between 16 hours and twice as long as the #1 run. That way, even if people are trying to finish the run within frames of the upper cutoff, it wouldn't represent a huge health risk.

[@Napsta_Blooky]

* Someone should just have a “100 Days” play through while speedruning Lmao

i got idea.. aasrsg (all adv speedrun random seed glitchless) allow sleeping and taking breaks between playing, so if i play another 2000 days world and record it all then it would be weeks long and more recognizeable than top run because it would be longest run submitted by far mile

As one of the Minecraft slowrun record holders I can say that slow running is just fun because you can be the best at being the worst.

[@notalive5479]

As far as slowrunning in other games goes, F-zero GX has a stage I would like to see some slowrun attempts on. Chapter 6. The objective of the chapter is to reach the end without dipping below a certain speed. The track layout is designed to make that difficult, with pedestrian vehicles to maneuver around, slim parts of the track, dirt sections that reduce speed unless you boost, and so on. What I would like to see, is a slowrun that tries to stay as close to the minimum speed as possible, while driving on the outside of turns and zigzagging across the track on straights to get the worst time possible. Funnily enough, doing a slowrun like this would actually be harder than getting the Max Speed speedrun, since in the speedrun you just need to maintain max speed, murder pedestrians for boost power, and take the best lines. The precise, constant button presses to keep speed low and inefficient, swerving lines would make the slowrun a nightmare, between getting as close to the walls as possible without touching them and avoiding the pedestrians that are in the way. The dirt section in the end could be particularly bad, since boost timing maintain the lowest speed while risking blowing up on the dirt is a notable risk.

Lol, watching King of the Desert in another game... Your roommate really is a legend.

[@LevenLappi]

I would love to propose to the spreedrun website mods to create a alternative website for slowruns, so they could keep them separate.

[@SamLabbato]

imagine leaving your computer on for a month and a half, only for the power to cut out before you can beat the dragon and verify the run

[@PaddeeBA]

I feel like the mods should keep allowing this, but make it against the rules to neglect your health, win-win

[@MG-gw8wb]

imma be honests it's not the mods responsibility whether or not people take care of themselves. I *do* think there should be a rule that people had to be present though, since everyone can leave their computer on for 999 hours and then go on vacation but that's just my opinion

[@PinkAndTheKeytarCat]

I'm just going to say that I think the best way to start a slow run is, "Hi, I've never run this game before, so let's start the timer and see how it goes." Timer starts. Player then begins downloading and installing the game.

[@huskybotie1552]

All my Minecraft horse is doing is sitting in a boat in front of my furnaces.

[@Rezeee]

You've also gotta consider that the moderators need to watch the whole run in order to verify, and lets just say that if the lowest time is 100hrs then the moderator is gonna have a fun time.

[@xSharpW]

Finally, something I can do as someone who can't spend hours learning tecs/glitches/routing but still wants to speedrun!

[@dxrk3400]

we never got to know the rating on the last run :(

[@PopeMical]

Slow speedruns are funny the first few times but the gimmick wears off real quick if you are the one having the verify the runs for a speed run leaderboard. I feel like once a category gets enough runs, some sort of limit for length is a good idea. Like if the average speed is 30 minuets, 1hr+ runs aren't allowed.

[@faimynth6030]

Honestly that would really kill the point cause then everyone would just play normally to get to the 1h point then just finish and be done and then we would have 40 speedruns all that are the same time. I get your point but i honestly think it's either needs to be allowed or not at all because limiting the time wouldn't really work.

[@PopeMical]

@@faimynth6030 I suggested a max length to give an easy way to judge runs that can be clearly listed in the rules and isn't subjective at all. I figured that double the average run length is a good enough range to allow people actually serious about submitting runs to do so, while greatly reducing the amount of time spent on troll runs. Oh and personally I don't think multiple people trying to tie for last place is a problem. It's obviously not ideal, but it's not that different from people trying to get the longest run submitted, and at least those tied runs would be easier to verify.

[@squash2127]

I find it funny how spiff brings up health as a reason to not verify these when people who compete for the fastest times spend even longer than these guys just practicing

[@brawlgod1188]

Does anyone else feel inspired after this video?

[@thefatpikachuchannel7672]

I believe he got the dogs through in the slowrun lore

[@rexana_rexana]

I don't feel comfortable with not having more rules around these slow runs. What's it going to take for rules to change? Someone ending up in the hospital, or worse? I would say just don't encourage this type of run in the first place. It's funny once or twice if someone is just submitting a slow run because they were bad at the game but it's only maybe a few hours long, but 21+ hours is bad. If you're GOING to accept these runs be more strict, don't allow runs where they're afk for seemingly no reason in regards to the game. Visually don't allow all the stupid gigs that obscure all of the "game play". They should always be trying to progress, even if in a roundabout way. Of course they should be allowed breaks, but that shouldn't be a majority of the run. In the end my Personal Opinion is don't allow these slowruns on the leaderboards. They aren't contributing anything to the community as a whole and have the potential to be damaging to the player.

[@Mightylcanis]

It's not your job, or the community's job, to worry about someone else's health. That's between them and their physician. Nevermind that one could say exactly the same of speedrunning, with all the time some people spend just grinding at refining their performance of a strat. The only difference is a mod doesn't have to see all of that.

[@lodavon783]

it’s literally not that serious

[@wobaoba3658]

Dude, just make another category, there's people that would like tk be the best of the worst

[@Waterghosteus]

Since the title said "NO SHOWERS" I was thinking it was a minecraft 'speed'run where the run ends when it rains in-game, and people tried to get as long of a time as possible.

[@yuuliann]

the issue with making a separate category for slowruns in the leaderboards is that eventually people are gonna be motivated to do the exact same thing slowrunners did originally and speedrun the slowrun category, negating the solution and bringing us back to square one

[@atruepanda1782]

0:05 Hey that video was fake

[@cheep5645]

Not true

[@k1llsh0t_87]

Honestly i would love a category or website for slow runs however for the sake of health there is a specific time limit which for this example i will say is 24 hours and every 6 or 8 hours you are allowed a 15 minute break but the rest of the time you must be actively playing and at the end instead of awarding based on time since the time limit will prob just make a ton of people be tied we instead base it on what has been accomplished, what different accomplishments are worth would need to be figured out but it would be cool to see what people would do to earn points, some might do all advancements, some might build farms, some might focus on getting max gear and others might focus on beating all bosses, it would prob not be super popular but if it can get a large enough player base it would be cool to see all the different routes people take and how mid run they might switch objectives if for example they find the deep dark early on or spawn next to a village or somethings

[@crobodile]

My slowrun in “Ooh Aah and You: Fetch a Fruit” got topped (bottomed?) by a guy who went afk for 2 hours and the mods still accepted it. Well over 2 years ago but I am still mad

The health concern is just out of the windows with some games. I'm not a fan of speedrunning but COD zombies (technically, it's a WR but not a speedrun) spend literally 70-200 hrs continuously, with no in-game pause just to beat a round limit, it's so crazy. The game has its own timer and assets generated or something that even if paused, the game continuously adds up stuff in RAM, that has a cap limit even on PC. So players (100 rounds in zombies in general are very achievable time-wise and you don't need to rush to get there, but from now on, time per round gets so long it's unbelievable) have to race against time and technical subtleties just to maximize the time playing. One person I heard died from this (not a polypus or some creepypasta, real death) from these consequences. Sad cuz if I think about it, I don't think you have to be one player to get these speedruns/WR And if so, speedrunning rules should change to accommodate this. Like have 2 players connect somehow (or be physically present) so both have a chance to sleep and take care of themselves. Afterall, the point is not a genius record of who dips their health to the abyss, but who has the best skills in the game. So if 2 players carried a single wr, it shouldn't be an issue at all.
