    I’ve been so disappointed with just how many cheaters there are in the speedrunning community. We can’t have nice things without someone trying to get smart for their fake 15 min of fame. Like, congrats, your biggest achievement is being a fraud.

    as interesting as this is, I feel like the author just heard the term “Tool Assisted Speedrun” that morning. And is not really sure what they’re actually used for.

      Yeah, headline confused me. I know Dwango as the holder of TasBot, not as a hacker

        Yeah I can’t read his name without hearing the “keeper of TASbot” right after it.
