I remember that one Super Metroid run where there were hilarious donation messages justifying their stances on the Kill vs Save the animals thing. "I was bitten by an animal, so kill the animals." "Sarah MacLachlan says save the animals." "I vote kill because I was once bitten by a wild Sarah MacLachlan..."
The lack of chemistry and entertainment is entirely because everyone is just there, not part each other's communities (ironic) and too scared to incur the wrath of GDQ staff. It's been so long since i watched, I get surprised every year with the terrible changes to the overlay they use too. It's making a kiling financially, but little of it is because of the actual event itself or how it's conducted.
I think on some level everyone in the thread likes/respects speedrunning.
SGDQs were always better back during the good years for this reason. Nobody asks the whole show to stop for them to cry about giving malaria pills to a village in South Sudan.

Some tranny on twitter has stated ESA is prohibiting hosts from reading political donations including "trans rights" messages. Of course brings JK Rowling and Hogwarts Legacy into it for no reason.
They saw what happened to GQDQ and decided to focus on the games instead
Let's see how ESA respond to the twitter troon squad.
cross post from the Hogwarts legend salt thread guess all harry potter games are getting banned
I actually wonder if there's a point at which the Prevent Cancer Foundation
comes in and goes 'yeeeeeah but we want the potterhead money'.
No, because they already have to have certain meetings with the retards in charge, and they don't have enough patience to argue about whether or not spedrunning one game is different from another.I actually wonder if there's a point at which the Prevent Cancer Foundation
Nah. Conversely GDQ can just say "if we allow this, there will be a protest that may impact the event and the charity", which is the truth, because GDQ has alienated the audience and who is allowed to run a game there. Any mere mention of Harry Potter is going to result in an hour of offtopic political bitching because they can't help themselves.I actually wonder if there's a point at which the Prevent Cancer Foundation
If they wanted to prevent cancer they'd tell GDQ to fuck off years ago.I actually wonder if there's a point at which the Prevent Cancer Foundation
This stinks because the first three Harry Potter games on PC are a pretty interesting runs. Now Fat Harry (Chungus%) runs will more then likely stay a meme..
No, I really only watch ESA runs that look interesting (and get recommend to me on youtube). I honestly can't stand speedrunning events, from all the donation interruptions and incentive reminders clogging up airtime. The only reason I have an interest in speedrunning is because sometimes they'll explain game functions on a technical level or they really are just that skilled at the game.
That's why I wish NASA got some traction. It was just spergs having fun and speedrunning.
