DQ Speedrunner is one dungeon away of beating the entire DQ series without sleeping (84 Hours now)
- Thread starter Yata
- Start date
Kinda reminds me of some of the original Animal Crossing 100% speedruns.
Aren't speed runs this long allowed a break every so often?

I completely agree. But I find it impressive nonetheless. At least he took some breaks to exercise.
Yeah, uh, I definitely don't think we should promote behaviour like this. It's incredibly unhealthy and outright dangerous.
They are allowed to take breaks, but the timer keeps running.
I see he started playing DQXI earlier instead of going chronologically, wouldn't want to fall asleep at the finish line during Act 3.
I hope he'll be ok
If he's got some major safety nets in place then okay sure, people do weird shit all the time and if it doesn't have major consequences then I can at least comprehend the logic, but this still feels like a really fucking terrible idea and even if this guy was hypothetically taking every precaution necessary to make sure he doesn't get hurt or die, someone else is gonna try and do the same thing and then fucking die from it.
Black Mirror episode incoming
Imagine a gamer farm where everyone is attempting this, battle royale style

Basically. He is taking a massive risk doing it and honestly the fact that it is being encouraged is crazy.
People have died even sooner than his time
Also people who sit down too long can get a build up of toxins in their legs which is not healthy either.
What saftey nets? There is nothing you can do to stop this from being life threatening.
Then there you go, there's no good reason to do this and we shouldn't be encouraging it.
In case of pre-existing weakness, possibly, or by a stupid accident induced by exhaustion. But you can also be harmed physically (neurological, vascular, hormonal and immune system are highly affected by sleep cycles and deprivation) and of course psychologically.
Not to mention I doubt he's having proper meals and hygiene during these days.
How long have his breaks been/have any of his breaks involved sleep? If he hasn't slept at all yet, isn't he past the stage where he could start seeing things?
I can't encourage or endorse this behavior. Hopefully they recover from this unhealthy challenge.
