There’s a condition called progeria that is pretty much the real version of this.
Unfortunately - however you might take that - it usually takes a decade or two and is pleasant for no-one.
Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy let alone their kid.
But if you’re looking for a more entertaining take, try this shocking 2002 XBox TV ad that was quickly banned in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjeYb7_kPqo
I’m definitely not the target audience of an ad like that, my thought is “life is short, don’t waste it in front of a screen” (yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing here on lemmy 🫠). I would bet that a life of playing video games will feel like it flew by much more than one out doing stuff in the world, but it probably depends on the games and the outdoor stuff so ymmv
I viewed it as “play more versus sitting at a desk at work” sort of thing.
Maybe this condition was what supposed.to be normal for humans? So we could live as long as our four legged friends?
I dont follow speed runners. I know there is a corner hop hack to skip most of the game in Zelda: OoT. Is it common across other speed runs, or is this a reference to that specific bug?
This is very common in speed running for almost any game. Similar exploits are often engine related as well. Once you find an exploit for one source or unreal game, there’s a decent chance that other games built on similar versions will share it.
Super Mario 64 has some weird ones like that. I think you slam yourself into a corner walking backwards or something and that gives you super speed to skip through some levels. There is this whole “quantum Mario” stuff in the game.
It’s hardly a speed run at 13 hours and 50 minutes, but Watch for Rolling Rocks in 0.5 A presses is an absolute classic.
if you don’t have the time for the entire video, here is a sub 1 minute summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ex_DEhq6C8
What you’re describing is the Backwards Long Jump. Due to developer oversight, Mario doesn’t have a maximum speed going in reverse. Mario can long jump repeatedly in reverse against stairs and similar collision, causing him to build up a ridiculous amount of speed until he’s going so fast that he bypasses the wall collision. He’s on one side of the wall on one frame, and on the other side by the next. Since the game only checks his collision every 4 frames, he goes right through.
Reminds me of the Baldurs Gate 3 madness known as Shadow Boxing 😄
When he is teleporting through the wall, i can picture the the sound that he makes, and it is the same as super mario 64 backwards stair jump speed glitch. Yahhoo, yahhoo, yayayayayayayayayayayayayayahhoo.
