I misread the time and thought it was 4 minutes and 97 seconds. It's actually 4.97 seconds, WTF?

It's the first level, it's incredibly short. Casually it's easy to complete in <10 seconds. The "par" time is 30 seconds

Some people enjoy the history behind the record. This video is for them. If you don't, then it's not a video targeted to you.

It's actually more interesting than I first thought. The amount of small steps to lower the time (a different key stroke, a shot from the pistol at the right moment) is insane for a casual player like me.

You'd think he would have at least some amount of interest given he clicked the link.

Seeing as that's not even close to what their point was, you're kinda proving them right.

Snoflake Lemmy mods at it again

I just wanna see the 4 second run without watching some guy talk in a youtube voice for 23 minutes and 56 seconds, is that too much to ask for?

This level of entitlement is hilarious. Please go fuck yourself.

For me to happen into the comment section after you, and after someone else had posted the link? No.

SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
