NG1 I played briefly early in my speedrun career, like a decade ago. It's on of those PBs I would like to improve. Think I got 12:46 in a month.

Friendly competition always been a huge motivator for people.

I see it now and then, even if I got no citation at hand right now, that gaming is getting stale or it's the same every year.

But I also see self-awareness in the same posts that it might just be them.
