  Makes me thing of high-scores runs, mainly in arcade games. Have to play for a long time, and eventually you get stopped by a kill screen.

  There is the concept of a “slowrun”.

    Im reminded of KurtJMac walking to the Farlands in Minecraft. Guy just started walking 13 years ago and has kept going all this time. The last time he checked his coordinates he was 9,864,725 blocks from spawn. Hes about 70% of the way there so only a few more years to go!

      That’s next level determination. I thought that walking around a planet in No Man’s Sky was impressive, but that didn’t take years.

      For some reason, there are always people who are willing to do amazing things like this.
