I personally don't get, or care, about speed runs. I play the literal opposite way, I slowly explore and inspect everything, and cannot comprehend why anyone would have fun trying to get through a game as fast as possible.

I personally never got the appeal of speedruns. I know people like them, but Im like Dark Kirby where I go super slow to find everything and explore.

I feel like most of the time, 99% of the people who like speedruns only like watching them and aren't actually speedrunners.

I'm also the same as you two in that when I play a game I like to play more slowly and explore things. But when I play through a game a second time, I just naturally do it faster since I've already explored things. And if I happen to play through a 3rd time then I should skip even more things that aren't needed.

I've seen speedrunners play other games for the first time and they do play it more slowly then.

Well... yeah? Nobody really speedruns a game on there first playthrough. Well, some do, blind speedruns are a thing. But most speedrunners really only speedrun maybe a handfull of games. These are game that they're very familiar with since they've ran through them dozens of times.
