Pressing START, a contentious issue at the core of speedrunning lately. Should pausing be BANNED in speedrunning? In this video, we look at pausing the timer to take a break in full-game single-segment speedruns, the possible renaissance of segmented speedruns, and the disputed practice of pausing in single-level in-game time speedruns.
