\n\nThere are times where I’d rather just be ‘Mae the Internet Stranger’ and not ‘Mae the Sex Speedrunner.’<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n
“That one was theorized by community members as early as August,” Mae revealed. “It was only in December that we were able to finally put the pieces together to make it work in a way that was faster than previous routes.” One abandoned (but awesome) alternative that some players experimented with would have involved “getting a ton of crates and stacking them to create a ‘top rope’ of sorts for us to drop the People’s Elbow onto Ketheric,” but it was just too time-intensive.<\/p>\n
As for her newfound internet fame, Mae finds the experience surreal, with people recognizing her handle or profile image in non-speedrunning contexts online.<\/p>\n
“People I’ve never met before greet me like a Skyrim guard going ‘Wait, I know you,'” she said. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s super cool when people recognize me, but there are times where I’d rather just be ‘Mae the Internet Stranger’ and not ‘Mae the Sex Speedrunner.'”<\/p>\n
Overall, though, Mae credits speedrunning and its community as a huge positive influence in her life:<\/p>\n
“Being thrust in the spotlight in front of millions of people makes me realize that telling the girl working the counter at Subway what I want on my sandwich isn’t as big of a deal as my anxiety makes it out to be.<\/p>\n
“Speedrunning has literally changed my entire life for the better, and not a day goes by where I’m not thankful I get to do what I do.”<\/p>\n
