This Theory is kinda discriminatory.

In this modern age there's gamer dad, gamer mom, gamer sis (not on only fans), gamer grandma & grandpa, gamer cat, gamer dog and gamer fish among many others.

Defaulting straight to the older brother severely limits you to an out-of-bounds exploit Speedrun. I mean, sure you'll get a high score, but life's more than just a placement on the wall of fame and the eternal nickname of "FartFace".

Gamer uncle here. Depending on my mood I'm either a wise and thoughtful teacher helping the younger generation learn the ins and outs of games (some of which they shouldn't play, but I'm also firework uncle so I'm not always safe), or I'm "I will knock you off Rainbow Road as I lap you" uncle. I'm also older brother and treated my younger siblings exactly the same way 30 years ago.

When we all get together the kids are on their own because the adults are too busy playing four player couch games. Their gamer grandpa still plays battle for wesnoth with me periodically, but otherwise he plays a bass fishing game.

One family member each for every kind of difficulty in life.

Speedrunner tip, If you jump from a place high enough, you unlock a secret ending and it's pretty fast.

(/s please don't do that, if you're in this situation don't be afraid to ask for help)

I'm sorry, but that method isn't plausible. There's simply no way of achieving a high score through it anymore. Maybe as an ISS cannonball, but that's a little difficult to get started with.
