I think we should talk about acceleration and the g-forces as much (if not more) as we talk about maximum speed.

Also, can we talk about conservation of momentum? When they go from 0 to speed of sound in the fraction of a second, what takes the recoil? The ground? They'd leave craters behind themselves, or just slip as the sideways-to-downwards force would have to be huge.

Even assuming they coincidentally always stand on super firm ground, and has special shoes with near infinite grip, there is also the issue of conservation of angular momentum: if the force is only applied at the feet, and pushing sideways so much stronger that gravity really isn't a factor, why doesn't the speedster just start rotating?

And seeing that they move much faster than gravity, what brings them back down to the ground for the next step?

Even simplier than that, if their brain can follow information going at such high speeds (to avoid obsacles, react in time, think about where you are going etc...), then the second they stop going at high speed, they'd die from boredom anyway.
Imagine doing everything you do a hundred time slower (like walking, eating, speaking with someone, picking up a pen...)!

Even then, why is he not lways using the speed force at all time, he could literally live thousand lives instead of waiting for everyone else to cope.

All of this was already answered in the Flash--its the Speedforce. In one story the Justice League even just used Flash as a super computer with Batman asking him to calculate the probabilities of certain scenarios and the Flash shitting out information as quick as he could.

Flash, himself, is not "immune" to the forces being exerted by the speed, but those forces are absorbed and then given back in kind via the speed force.

What is a the speed force? A mystical force of nature existing outside our reality but is tapped into by beings who travel fast enough. Hence why you see all that lightning around the Flash. Part to make him look flashy and to also explain away any physics issues.

"but what would happen if..."

It got absorbed/shielded by/prevented by the speed force

"But not if-"

Speed Force

"You don't even know what I was about to-"

Well, no, the store freezer would essentially act as my freezer and every time I need stuff from it, or put stuff in it, I go to the store's freezer.


B-b-but guys, it's tucked away really well, they won't find it
I might toy with this idea a bit more... I have a supermarket real close to my home now so I can experiment with it anyway.

A bit related to this: how much stuff gets bought from a supermarket every single day? I realize they need to restock on certain key products daily, but stuff like ... idk obscure pasta shapes (shells, what's their name, just shells?), how often do they need to order those in? How long would it take before the entire store is restocked once?

Emulator: some games on neo geo
like fightcade or a regular neo geo emulator
metal slug series, shock troopers, etc.

PC: diablo 2, torchlight 1 and 2 like someone mentioned.
Unepic, Rampage Knights, Ragnarok Battle Offline (not joking, fond memories) off the top of my head.


if it's not super shitty, Enter the Gungeon is great hotseat co-op
other games on steam, Jamestown, a vertical bullet-hell game

if two computers and again, not super shitty, Lost Planet 2 is one of the best co-op experiences ever, the more the merrier.


even some old SNES games, some singleplayer stuff swapping off controllers per death can be really fun.
