| Speedrun |
 Title text: Usain Bolt holds the world record in the 100 meter speedrun. |
Explanation

This comic shows Cueball sitting at a desk complaining that his speedrun got deleted off of speedrun.com, which is a popular leaderboard aggregator for speedruns.
Tool-assisted speedrun (or TAS for short) is when person uses tools to make certain hard or even humanly impossible inputs easily. Usually it involves frame by frame inputs, but there are other types of TASes.
The title text is a joke about how Usain Bolt's 100-meter dash record is also a world-record speedrun.

- [Cueball is sitting at a desk with a laptop. Megan is standing behind him.]
- Cueball: Aw man, Speedrun.com removed my world record just because I listened to Lateralus and Ænima to get in the flow.
- Megan: Oh, a copyright thing?
- Cueball: No, they don't allow Tool-assisted speedruns.

F1RST! I actually found the comic before Theusafbot did. K9Dragon23, or RainWingSquares (talk) (talk) 01:01, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Published on the 25th Anniversary of the song release right?
wasn't there an olympic runner who requested a song to be played with his preferred beats per minute, only to be rejected out of a concern for an unfair advantage? 84.225.125.43 07:10, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Wow! I needed this explanation. I knew nothing of speedruns, nor Tool. Usain Bolt I had heard of.--2A00:23CC:D248:8901:79C8:645F:821A:1BA3 08:37, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Cueball is such a tool. 2A02:2455:1960:4000:2C98:4FB4:B92F:33B4 10:07, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Shouldn't they remove Usain Bolt'd record as a TAS?--94.73.49.13
- No, he was the one that did the record, not a programmed computer. A robot that was programmed to perform a series of specific inputs that make it run really fast would be a TAS. --DollarStoreBa'alconverse 15:26, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Funny, I use Pneuma as my coding focus music.... 2A0A:EF40:2D3:201:A4CA:7332:48F3:6525 12:27, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Unfamiliar with Tool or their music portfolio, I assumed those were the usernames of other speedrunners Cueball had analyzed to develop his technique, which made the punchline seem very harsh. RegularSizedGuy (talk) 00:06, 17 May 2026 (UTC) Add comment
