I mean it is and probably would be a world record. It's just that any history of it would be more obscure or easily destroyed. Things are just more worthwhile when they aren't so pointless.

A lot of people don't have a lot of fun playing the same thing over and over just for the sake of it. They want to be accomplished, show their skill and have the exhilaration of achievement. There's no point developing arbitrary and specific skills for a really long time that amount to mostly nothing.

If you like to play really hard games, that's great! But if you do a lot of specific challenges that take a long time to master, I do recommend making the most of them, or just playing different games so you have a more diverse set of experiences and skills.

Sure, just set your priorities as you want and have fun while playing. I do prioritize world records in obscure games and hope to continue my ex-itch.io “making most out of obscure titles” career on YouTube.

But about the first paragraph of your message, personally I believe a spectacular record in an obscure game is more remarkable for history than let’s say, a decent casual non-wr play in fortnite or among us, because less people do it you are more likely to be the best. Which is why if you try to wr speedrun minecraft for example, all chances are against you, but something less known you can get a wr if you try hard enough. But if you do manage to get a fantastic achievement in a popular game (e.g sans no hit or 20/20/20/20 in FNAF) that’s great! This paragraph is just my opinion
