I either pronounce it like Guybrush does it or like the Dutch word 'tas' (bag).

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.

<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
I say it like I say tan, but replace the n with an s.
"Taser" is an informal abreviation for "tool-assisted speedrunner" (or "superplayer", if you really want to nitpick), but how do you pronounce it? Like the word "taser", or like TAS" (as you describe) with an "er" attached?

Like TAS with er attached. So it's basically the same as tanner (tasser).

Tee Ey Ess.
Those who pronounce it as taasse need to be dragged out back and shot.
Do you pronounce it Yue Ess Ey or Yusah?

Nach,
I'm sure you can think of a few acronyms which are pronounced/used as any other word, right?
Not saying it's necessarily correct in this case, but it might not be so clear cut I think. I know I think of TAS as a word rather than an acronym (like scuba, aids, etc).
