This should be the monologue that speed runners hear when they break the game
When a new record is set
Is he doing a bit or is he actually as pretentious as he sounds in the game all the time? lmao
@@anon4854 that's him in his normal form xD
@@wiawaysb Just read he majored in philosophy at uni. Totally explains everything about his personality 😂🤣
@@anon4854 he's just talking about game design 💀
He should patch this into the game. If the game detects your beating the game several times really quick it plays this speech as they are speedrunning it
There actually used to be a feature where if the game detected you were speedrunning it, it would disable the narrator. The feature was removed in some version, though.
Just like Stanley Parable eh?
Yes
you're*
Or it could play in the end screen if you won in a mere few minutes. :)
Imagine being his roommate
"Bennett I'm gonna run to the store want anything?"
"Most would think that wanting is intrinsically destructive, but, in fact, it can be credited with the creation of--"
I'd be cool with that
"Ok, cool. Later!"
lmao
"Shut up! Just say you need anything or not."
Is it pretentious to remark when one is often called verbose and lofty, a user of flowery circuitous verbeage? A stigma must exist for those who reject gravity's spirit, stroking the brush on the canvas of conversation furiously to mitigate the thought spilling over their intent brow? Before life gets another tag on your chin, slap some prose into the fight. What an absurd moment thanks!!!
This guy has a pleasant, soothing voice. It must be so relaxing to listen to for an extended period of time.
😂😂😂
Ask Markiplier, he definitely loved his voice.
whenever he talks in the game, it's the equivalent of listening to a video essay about the game while playing it.
Honestly, his voice was very calming when playing the game, idk why people got more mad because of it
@@c0hink176 because the timing, it’s usually after a fall.
This isn't a reaction, it's a lost sound file from the game
Exactly, this should just play if the game notices you're in space in under 1m30s.

It's funny, but speedrunners probably appreciate a game more than any other person. They study it, admire it, research it, all into finding the fastest way to break it. It's serious dedication.
Yeah exactly 🔥🔥
and then they break it over their knee
Or competitive players in any vs game
That's what this dev is trying to convince himself about, yes. In reality, most speedrunners speedrun games because they want a name in the speedrunning community. Yes, liking the game helps, but it's not a prerequisite.
@@Ezullof Speedruns require immense preparation, practice, and skill. Why would you speedrun a game you didn't love enough to want to master it's mechanics to the logical extreme?
every other dev reacts: "OMG HOW DID THEY.... OH NOOOOOO"

Well it is a "glitchless" speedrun
Yeah it looks like he didn't actually care about this speedrunner doing the gamd
Anyone know what the song is?
That was the best
@Just hide the pain yes that’s how game development works
i came here to watch the dev suffer. instead
*i suffer*
Same here bro
Hahahahahahahahaahahha make me smile hahahaha
Underrated comment
In Mother Russia, you suffer while the developer watches a speedrun.
He pulled a reverse uno card
"while this guy is getting warmed up"
_video finishes before he finishes talking about his relationship with speedrunners_
As he's talking about speedrunners
he did finish his speech when the speedrun wasnt even in space, what are you talking about lol
@@JohnPaulBuce hey man, it was just a joke
Umm, actually no.
Never thought a dev reacting to a speedrun would bring a tear to my eye but Bennett's wise words sure did.
I love to see how the dev just talks quietly about how the brain of a speedrunner works metaphorically, while the speedrunners is on cocaine
@Challenge man in the description it says he is
💀💀
Lmao
@the man wha
Really?
"And then having understood it perfectly, they break it over their knee." I don't think there's a more accurate way to describe hardcore speedrunners XD
For a moment I thought "Hardcore speedrunners? There aren't any other kind - "
And then I remembered that speedrunning is a hobby for most people, everyone has to start somewhere, some people just do it on their own for fun, and the stuff we see really is usually just the 'hardcore' speedrunners. The ones who work the hardest and do the best.
But there are people who speedrun more to challenge themselves for a little while, have fun with a game they love in a new way, and move on before they come anywhere near breaking a world record, because that's not what it's really about for them.
Thank you for reminding me that the world is nuanced, though that may not have been your intention :)
just like Bane with Batman
@@n3zum1 Underrated take. You can't break something "unbreakable" in one go unless you understand it perfectly.
I'd rather say they take a hammer and a spoon to hit it once at the perfect spot and make it fall apart.
I was watching that part at the exact moment I read this
*"To truly destroy something, one must come to know it more deeply than it's creator."*: Some Zen Game designer probably.

He probably didn't even see this speedrun, it's just him talking for a minute and a half about how speedrunning is cool to him
There isn't really much to react to. This Speedrun is just somebody playing the game really, really well. There's only one shortcut that is anything other than playing the game exactly how it was intended to be played, just very quickly.

Seems like a know it all guy that just wants to annoy people lol
@@MilkyCao he made qwop? that’s so cool
He has advanced philosophy degrees iirc game designing was originally just a side gig
I love Bennet Foddy's take on this, so many people miss the fact that a speedrunner 99 out of a 100 times loves and understands the game they are speedrunning before they destroy it.
I agree. Speedrunning takes practice, a lot of practice. It’s impossible for someone to pick up a game to speed run without somehow liking the game beforehand. If they did it because, “lol it’s the easiest game to run.” That’s already sad.
Speedrunners and other types of players who seek to dissect a game and push it until it breaks and they create something new are honestly the game's biggest fans.
@@dragodadragon
Indeed. A lesser fan wouldn't put nearly the same effort.
sounds like my parents marriage
@@ZTGOfficialYT genuine ouch and I'm sorry,
This is one of the hardest games I've ever played. This run is astonishingly skilled.
Ideally, watching speedrunners can be the best way to examine the strengths and weaknesses of your own game design, and gratifying to see how much time someone has put into it
I have no intention of ever playing this game that intends to drive you completely insane but I do love this developer's point of view and the way he elegantly wordsmiths his thoughts.
*no offence, but it doesn't drive you insane, it just requires some patience, and once you spend enough time on a specific obstacle, you CAN get through it, and, once you complete the game, you hav a sense of achievement,*
Yeah the developper's point of view was just crap. He says that the speed runners, unlike normal gamers, crack the game to achieve purpose. No. The goal of speed running is to complete certain tasks of the game as fast as possible. Any crack is the game would get used by anyone, the speed runner just looks and uses them the most to finish the game faster and not the other way around.
Who the heck gives a crap about what the developper thinks? He makes a game, people play it. This doesn't make him some kind of savant or scientist.
@@akj7 r/whoosh
@@CraftageNate Why? There was also another comment before my previous one that somehow vanished.
@@akj7 That is what Bennet said. "They play the game differently." And while this is a poor title for the video, the fact you clicked on it either means you are interested or you wanna bash the people who are interested. Quote: "Yeah the developper's point of view was just crap" end-quote. You have replied in a way that makes it look like you missed everything Bennet said and said that his opinion is irrelevant.
You’d think the speeches coded into the game were well thought out but no that’s just how Bennet talks
For some reason it's exactly how I'd imagine someone with the name *Bennet* would talk.

The speedrun itself breaks you as you watch how easily they beat the game flawlessly, but then we have Bennett, with his calm demeanor, describing the concept of speedrunning, and then you don't feel completely shattered. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be

💀💀💀
Selmon bhai, nervous sweating
This feels like Benett Foddy and GLaDOS somehow merged into one
This sounds like something he’d say in the actual game
he probably rehearsed it several times with that in mind.
It is
“You analyze ever detail, understanding it perfectly.... then you break it over your knee.”
At no point does he actually comment on the run itself. Just waxes poetic about speedrunning.
As a long time speedrunner, this was beautifully stated. Speedrunners, more than anyone else, have experienced the game in every detail top-to-bottom, then they continue their enjoyment of the game by finding the absolute limitations of the game's rules.
It's like in these stories of a perfect warrior or martial artist. A wizened old fighter approaches the statue, contemplates it, then taps it in just the right place, and it shatters to pieces. It's not even fantastical, real objects often have fault lines and inner stresses, like tempered glass or rocks!
As you have to dig deep into the core of a problem, to solve it
Here I’ll subscribe
speed runners are the kind of people who can put in 10,000+ hours into one game mastering and perfecting the fastest route through it
You missed the part where you break the sculpture on your knee.
*his vibe hasn't changed, it's the same irritating poetic voice*
He perfectly measures being irratative and relaxing at the same time
His voice is both the vain of my existence and at the same time the one that keeps me sane
@@halfiem2510 do you mean bane?
@@ghost_cities oh yeh
@@Gorbenko-yo1kk His voice only irritates because of what you associate it with.
this was perfectly timed, how the little speech ends just before the speedrunner skips a large portion of the game, kinda brilliant
Large portion of the game? You mean the whole game😂
Love how even in a reactionary video, he’s still monologuing like he does in the game. 😂
The joke is lost on most people who don't understand that he's trying to be funny when he says "while he's warming up". And then he's just done.
I think most people got it, weird flex but ok.
It's not a joke, this is a warm-up run. No speedrunner would leave in a fall on their final record submission; the guy probably streamed an entire day of trying to beat a record and this was just a crandom clip.
@Lee Bard wholly incorrect.

You have no idea how much this made me laugh.
Thats bloody hilarious
Underrated
best comment here
Ikr, ironic.
What’s crazy is that the perfect run could be cut down to about ~1:15
Even now, Bennett is still a poetic boio with that calming voice
I appreciate how the dude actually described it properly that the speedrunners actually play the full game loads of times just to even get there and its not just once, then the devs wont get as sad knowing theres so much dedication to their game.
It's like if you find a chest in a game, you know the dev put it there. If you look up a skirt and there's something there, you know the dev put it there. You need to intimately know the mind of the developer and know each and every one of these fine details to excel at the art of speedrunning.
when it comes to an art so precise that you're using textures and the edges of sprites and exact frame cycles to improve, you basically learn the game as a second language
it's a compliment if anything honestly
Your sarcasm is on POINT
@@deViant14 achtyoully, they tend to use all the failures of the devs [skips/glitches/time saves/etc] that the dev did not intend to break the game past what was originally thought to be humanly possible to complete it.
@@Astroqualia but do you know how much time and effort you need to put into a game to find all those shortcuts? and then once they find the shortcuts they need to practice them over and over again just to shave off the most fraction of a second in order to finish the game as fast as possible.

Geometry dash ?
he didnt react to the speedrun at all he just gave his thoughts on speedrunning in general
Even his commentary is poetic.
the entire game is
i was hoping for a reaction, rather than a freaking lesson on the relationships of games and speedrunners, it was entertaining tho
The Commander Nax I love how he says “let me take a moment to say”.... now I know how they came up with the idea of narrator not shutting up and not staying on subject.
It's everything you would expect from the maker of Getting Over It. It honestly tooks me a second to realize that that wasn't in game diologue.
I don't know, i'd much rather listen to a smart person deliver a lecture than i would listen to that person simply react to something, but to each their own i guess :)
@@jord.an6123 - The title isn't "game developer delivers a lecture on the relationship between games and speedrunners", though... If you enter a coffee shop, it's because you want coffee, not a vast assortment of tea.

I love how he just hijacked the whole video format, to essentialy deliver the sort of message you could see in his videos
*Video game.
I have a feeling since the Dev knew it was only a minute he decided to prepare his thoughts on speedrunning vs a pure reaction. I actually appreciate that and it was very honest
In a way he speedran this series
About 5 seconds into this there were parts of the level I've never seen haha
the dev straight out refused to react to the speedrun didn't he
There are two things I really like about this:
1. This kinda sounds like it could be one of the voice clips of himself that he put into the game.
2. The sheer contrast between this streamer's run, basically a minute and a half, against most of the other people I've watched play this game where real-world days go by as they try and complete it. That is, if they don't just give up.
sure, but a speedrun is itself the culmination of hundreds if not thousands of hours of effort. if speedrunning is like "getting over it", a WR run is just that last bit where they fly into space at the end, ignoring the months they spent getting up there. the only difference between speedrunners and casuals is that they love the climb and they have a whole community helping them figure out how to do it and supporting them in doing so - and as Foddy said, break the game over and over in new ways while doing so
I've beaten the game over 200 times, and my pb is still just 4m27.19s. This guy must've gone from lakeside to space tens of thousands of times.
Dude this guy can make literally anything sound philosophical.😆

underrated comment
Other developers in this situation: WOOAAHH! Did you see that GLITCH?! That was INSANE!
Bennett Foddy in this situation: Ah, yes, the relationship between speedrunners and developers is one unique that truly reflects the observant yet creatively destructive eye of curiosity that humanity holds.
"They take it, admire it and then break it over their knee"
Felt a pinch of salt there lol jk 🤣🤣
I think that’s just a sadist looking at things from a sadist’s point of view: If you love something, then it only makes sense to want to break it.
I think what's evident in ALL of these IGN dev react videos is that there is always at least some level of salt in a dev seeing their baby being broken before their eyes.
Reminds me of yandere dev
Considering this game is about frustrating and humiliating the player constantly, this sounds more like Bennett acknowledging that speedrunning is essentially having spent so long in the game that you have the right to do the same thing to the designer that the designer did to you at the start of the experience.
Excellent commentary.
Gained a new perspective for speedruns.
They do that over and over again for hundreds to thousands of hours
Game Dev: Constructionist Artist
Speedrunner: Destructionist Artist
End Result: A Thing Of Beauty
Honestly this was not the reaction I was expecting.
It was the reaction I've been looking for. It's not everyday Devs show appreciation for people having fun with exploits.
It's not the reaction I was came here to see, but all things considering that is definitely the reaction I shouldve expected: Rambling about a topic through a stream of consciousness that has absolutely nothing to do with what is being played on screen. Just like the real game.
Somehow that was exactly the kind of reaction I was expecting from Foddy.
After listening to him talk to much in the game, honestly, this is exactly the reaction I was expecting. He isnt very reactionary, just very reflective
Idk what people are expecting what do you want him to say he up he up again hes up the snowy part its just 2 minutes he cant say anything
He even speaks in a Shakespearean way with complete elegance.
Shakespeare wrote in rythym
I’ll take “has never read any Shakespeare” for $100
Whatdafuq are you on?
why do pretentious douchebags talk like they know what they are talking about with such confidence? LMAO
"Shakespearean way", literally nothing he stated was in a "Shakespearean way"
That was not Shakespearean lol
Clicked for the reaction, stayed for the lecture
a speedrun is like a weight loss diet, people will marvel at the outcome but don't think about how hard the journey to that point was
Bennett had exactly enough time for a concise musing on the nature of speedrunning. That's fantastic.
Aarrgh, hearing his voice brings me bad memories...

**sees that the run is already over**
".....that's why I love speedruns bye".
He's not wrong.
People tend to forget that speedrunners play the game millions times more than normal people do
This was supposed to be a reaction to the actual speedrun though .. not how he viewed speedrunners.
@@ijnatago8383 yeah but it literally sounded like an in game quote lol. He went all poetic in this reaction.
Yeah, tried to sound wise while literally giving no insight as to what's happening with the speedrun .. title totally should be "dev reacts to speedrunning while doing a shakepearean impression".
You were expecting a reaction but then he says "-gets me thinking about the relationship between the player and the designer" and you think "oh yeah this is the guy who made this game" and you prepare to be taught.
I'd listen to this guy talk about anything for hours and not get bored.
DUDE'S AMAZING!! Had no idea you could jump like that
The guy who designed this game studied philosophy in college, and it shows from his commentary.
This just sounded like
a n o t h e r s e c t i o n of the game
He did not seem remotely impressed
Now it's Bennett Foddy getting over it
a much better title would be “Satan reacts to a 1 minute and 24 second speedrun.”
Honestly this was perfect it fit the games overall tone and it was a reaction of appreciation
the "pft" at the end just makes this video 10x better
A speedrunner is to a game designer what a gastronomic expert is to a chef
"while this guy's warming up"
*stops talking when the speedrun ends*
Love that he didn’t even react to the speed run he just bantered about the concept of it
Well, the streamer really didn't do groundbreaking stuff, other than being super fast. The game worked as intended, just faster.
I’m sure that the great philosophers of ancient Greece also had smooth jazz playing in the background.
**Sappho intensifies**
This was just poetry
Came for a reaction
Came back with a lesson
I just love how Markiplier went insane playing this, and this guy beats it in 86 seconds.
