Oh, I've bear it. I just speedrun it now, my fastest time is one hour and thirty minutes. Amazing game, good story, and hard to speedrun. Plus, you can damage boost!
What games are you playing?

I only ever spedrun the true final section of the game (i.e. where there’s an actual timer displayed). I think I got it down below 5 or 6 minutes on the original PC version, since I recall unlocking a few different main menus. I felt like I could’ve gone lower, but I was already to the point of diminishing returns where it starts to feel more like work, so I called it quits. I certainly could not have gotten the sub-3 or 2 minute runs that I saw were possible at the time. Those were amazing to watch.
I did a 3.36 hell run. It was hard. A LOT of boosts, split second timing, etc. You have to be a (wink) robot to do it right!
Bought Automation. Spent way too much time building crazy powerful cars. Need BeamNG next to export the cars too.. lol
I finally finished and returned a borrowed copy of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (since my nephews have yet to return my trilogy steelcase set).
The wife has been asking to play more Super Mario Odyssey (me as Mario, her as Cappy) after we beat it earlier this year, so we started that back up and are quickly completing all the worlds. I'm actually kinda surprised she's still playing, since she's a fairly casual gamer who typically bows out once the going starts to get even remotely tough. We've started getting to some Power Moons that are a bit tricker, but she's been sticking with it.
Right now, Backloggery.com reports that my net gaming for the year has me three games in the hole (i.e. I've bought three more than I've beaten), which I'd like to get flat before the year's end, so I have my work cut out for me. Thinking about playing Furi or What Remains of Edith Finch next, since they look to be quick games in my backlog.

Played D3 too much. PoE evolved a lot, now skill gems are available earlier in the game, less frustrating for new player I guess.
The mechanics take quite a while to understand fully and it is easy to make a crappy build
Get ready to play even more at the start of 2019: https://www.diablofans.com/news/49077-patch-2-6-4-ptr-preview
I remember that pre-"Loot 2.0" most players were complaining about the Auction House being the worst but most important aspect of the game if you wanted to progress, along with the lack of legendary and set incentive (most were just slightly better rares without abilities) and the abysmal drop rate. You could spend dozens of hours and find only one legendary that was very likely worse than the rare item you already had for a long time. There was also a non-existant end-game. The game has had so much content, gameplay and replayability added, it's incomparable.
Because the drop rate was so awful, most that dropped were useless and only a handful would allow you to progress, it was almost entirely money-based because you basically found a somewhat valuable rare, sold it in the Auction House for more than it's worth and trade up incrementally and precisely. Or you'd spend real money to get there. It was not Diablo, it was Diablo Trading Simulator.

Spot on. I remember just leaving all drops on the floor, rare and legendary included.
Also the 100% random affixes was utter shit. You could roll a +200 STR on an item only a DEX based class could equip. Suh non-sense.
