    How many of you read the title and immediately heard THAT music playing?

    Big fan of Summoning Salt's videos. It's crazy how one person just completely revolutionized this "history of _____________ speedruns" niche. To the point where I didn't even have to see who the video was by, the second I read this title I just imagined the Summoning Salt music in my head.

    Will check it out when I have more time later. Thanks for sharing, OP.

    I love Summoning Salt videos, they're genuinely interesting and from what I can tell, very well researched. It's even more interesting to me because you can go on speedrun.com and see the story as it stands right now too.

    The first streamer that attempted this, Bubzia, seems like a genuinely good dude too, and a great representation of the oddly specific Blindfolded Mario 64 speed running community!

    It's really interesting to me that this video came out right after Karl Jobst released a video of a blindfolded Monster Hunter World cheater too, mostly unrelated but it's a funny coincidence.

    I'm wondering what's the criteria for posting here as a separate post vs the video thread! I loved this video so I posted it in the dedicated video thread but I was debating on there vs a whole separate topic. Genuinely curious! :)

      Nearly all things/threads here are unofficial, the video thread included. Semi-collectively, there have been efforts to keep this place from becoming the endless stream of links of reddit. If you think it's worth posting as an separate topic, do so! If you think it's share-able, but doesn't necessarily need its own post then put it in the weekly thread.

        Thank you! I was tempted but decided against it but I'll try to keep an eye on the general sentiment of discussion.
