Gonna post this here because a friend was asking me about it
The question was "Best and worst speedruns of the year?"
Best has to go to Shadow Warrior 3 Worst probably The Quarry lmao
Honorable mention to DOOM because that's one of the best FPS speedgames of all time, I just already have wayyyy too many hours in it lol
Far Cry 6 was also a surprisingly good game to run as well. It was the first Far Cry with a decent alternate-ending run
Every far cry game past 3 has an alternate ending, which is basically always true any% cause they're usually like 5 mins. But they usually involve literally just waiting around or are 99% cutscene.
FC6 Any% (Alternate Ending) Actually has a lot of gameplay, and is a really decent length averaging around 40 mins. It's actually really nice. Lots of tech, some cool skips, good combat, good driving.
Not to mention the DLCs are also quite good for speedrunning, nice little 20 min combat/movement trials
Still gotta pick SW3 as the best though, that games any% has the best pacing with a fantastic mix of combat, movement, and skips. Omega satisfying run.

ill list some reasons why i ran the things i ran because why not:
muumit ja taikurin hattu: suddenly a new guy came along who got a ridiculous time which motivated me to run again after 3 years and i also managed to get two other runners running it making it the most active perioid of the games history with 4 active runners and wr dropping by 3 minutes.
ape 3: i had been planning to learn this game for a while and in february a new revolutionary trick was found so i got bman to teach the run to me
drift86: i learned how to make autosplitters because i made one for muumit ja taikurin hattu so i messed around with that and "had to" do some runs
neon white demo: got really excited for this game when the first trailer cameout and the demo was released in february so i grinded some ils for fun
mission escape from island: wanted to make more autosplitters so i tried this game (btw its a shitty unity asset flip :D)
hellcat: wanted to make more autosplitters and happened to "kill" the any% category by killing the disgustingly unfair final boss first try saving about an hour off the wr
catwoman: found the pc version of the game and the masochist in me made me play it (and made an autosplitter)
rallytrophy: i decided to make a "speedometer" program mainly intended for the "legal%" meme category where you follow the speed limit signs
ape 1: got my hands on a modded ps2 (5mins faster than ps3 vc) and couple new runners popped up and i got motivated to run again and managed to push my pb through the sub 50 barrier. then did couple no ij runs because my previous pb was on ps3 vc
ape 3: i submitted the game to the finnish speedrun marathon FinnRuns summer 2022 so i started grinding my time down also couple new runners popped in so i got more motivation from that
nsmbw: dnvic flew all the way from america here to finland and we wanted to do a run for fun
ape1: i had planned on learning hundo after finnruns summer 2022 (it was in july) but took until november to learn it. i also submitted the run to FinnRuns 2023 in january but sadly it didnt fit in the schedule
hugo roborumble: found the pc version so i made an autosplitter

Thanks for taking over this for me, Meta. Got caught up in some things.
Not a very good year for me. So much bad shit has happened to me & it hasn't really been getting any better. At least I can still add games to the site, which just helps me cope a little.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who has ever supported me.
Fewer games this year, as I spent more of my focus on single grinds. Don't expect I'll run Grippy as many months next year. Probably. Also, links in order of first appearance for @YUMmy_Bacon5:
January: Foxbot Jump and Hover Grippy
February: Banana Chase
March: Pigments King: A bullet-hell RPG
April: Return of the Slimepires Streets of Rage 2 Block Rush Worlds Within Worlds
July: Dungeon of Numenas 2
Just 11 games total, I had more than that by April last year.
I'm a bit late but here's mine:
January: Allocation You Have To Burn The Rope (PICO8) 60 Seconds Burger Run Mobility Emerald and Amber Use Boxmen
February: Use Boxmen Ninja Roy Infinite Platformer Game Series
