The whole idea of cheating is so strange to me because you are going to get caught, don’t get me wrong I understand that they do it because they think they’ll get away with it.

I love the Karl Jobst quote “players don’t cheat to get faster times they cheat to get times, faster“ in rng heavy runs

Well I basically want to ask what is weird things people have done to cheat in speedrunning or even in a none speedrun sense

I remember I think it was in Paper Mario: TTYD there was a guy that used a moon jump hack to do something easier/faster. It just seemed a lot more odd to me than the more "conventional" ways of cheating like disguising a TAS or splicing.

the only thing i can think of is someone using L to levitate cheat and calling it a glitch, not weird but funny ;D

Its not just cheating to its like that guy that did a fake blind speedrun of Mario recently which is funny XD

I can't remember the details, but when Red Faction came out online gaming was very much in its infancy (to me, at least) and I remember there being a lot of weird chat commands that PC players could use to totally override online deathmatches.

I thought it was the worst, most frustrating thing in the world.... until I figured out how to do it myself xD

Sorry the story is so vague, but you reminded me of a period of time I'd completely forgotten about. Online DMs were wild back then (early 2000s).
