Speedrunning Thread (Take 2) - GOTTA GO FAST

I'd donate a hundred to fill the character limit with niggerfaggot but something makes me think they wouldn't read it, now I'm brainstorming stealthy ways to sneak a donation in for my second cousins grandmother's former roommate who has IBS and died of left ring finger cancer last week

Just start whatever you want them to read with "Greetings from Germany".

Got recommended this video, it's pretty entertaining. There's even an item mentioned called a 'distraction kiwi'

I guess it shows that none of us really care but apparently Games Done Quick 2024 started, haha.

Twitch

Twitch is the world's leading video platform and community for gamers.

www.twitch.tv

Sometimes I watch it off and on seeing if there's any quality cringe moments but I'm actually very busy this week so chances are I'm just going to tune out and let other folks collect the moments. I totally forgot GDQ was happening until a friend of mine linked me to a video of some fat genderspecial she/they troon filling out a Tails kigurumi playing a Sonic game.

I know he was mentioned previously in this thread but seeing EmeraldAly in the flesh makes my skin crawl.

 

[Machinedramon]

I used to watch GDQ marathons the moment they came online, and then I'd have the stream on even when runs I didn't care for were on.
I haven't opened the stream at all. It's just boring nowadays. Even the t-shirts from The Yetee are boring.

The more popular the event is, the shittier it becomes because they need to please the sponsors and make it kid friendly.

At least there's fat genderspecials in dresses having mental breakdowns at these events. that can be entertaining.

 

[King Of Braves]

The FF15 run on right now is interesting but good christ the dude running it is the posterboy for troon vtuber discrepencies.

 

[Barry Williams]

GDQ is just full of people who are irredeemably ugly, through and through.

 

[Machinedramon]

if I saw them in real life I'd be speedrunning away from them

LMAO dude dresses like a grandma!

 

[Almighty Space Duck]

Wow what a fucking mess. FFXV was one of the handful of runs I had any interest in watching but there’s no way I’m looking at that thing for a couple of hours.

 

[kobrum]

I had mentioned it before, but feels like I called it. This one really sucks. also something I noticed when it started is that for the first like 4 or 5 hours, there was at most 3k people watching. Out of nowhere it shot to 60k and has stayed around there during peak hours, even during games that are loved.

went thru and there is maybe 10 people that are at least semi known. the rest are legit whos. finale is maybe one of the weakest ones I have seen in a good while. They also seem to have a shit ton of games I dont think many have heard of, myself included.

 

[Machinedramon]

I had to check the schedule to remind myself what the finale was. Having a JRPG as a finale isn't a good idea since they always seem boring to me

It's not a good idea because JRPG speed runs are almost never any reasonable amount of time. That's why they were usually relegated to the middle of the night so they could fill 4+ hours.

See, I dont agree with that. Some of the previous years they had Earth bound and Chrono trigger as the finale, and they were great runs, largely because of who was running them or who was on the couch. That said, FFV isnt exactly the rpg I would have picked

I leave it on because the more niche ones can be legitimately great, but then ones like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk come on where it's just "TRANS RIGHTS" donations and applause for two hours and I have to turn it off. I wouldn't be surprised if Shovelclaws turns into a cow eventually, since he's one of the few degenerate enough to use it/it's pronouns.

Man, that BRC run was such a shitty disappointment. I was looking forward to it as the run actually has some neat tricks in it and great music, but of course the couch just wanted to virtue signal the entire time without actually talking about what the runner was doing. It was like the polar opposite of the Super Mario Sunshine run.

So the show ended last night to its (deservedly) worst performance in the last five years.

• AGDQ 2022 - 3,419,603
• AGDQ 2023 - 2,643,400

It's interesting it went down in 21. That was in nice deep lockdown though 22 bounced back.

I wonder if PCF will get a bit panicky.

Probably not. Donations are donations, and they don't appear to get involved beyond a few fluff pieces they can run to fill time.
