Speedrunning Thread (Take 2) - GOTTA GO FAST

[Super Collie]

Games like Super Metroid and Super Mario 64, no matter how played out they are, are really the bread and butter of these kinds of events. They're the games that have the most "star power" due to nostalgia. Leaving them out is like not having a turkey for Thanksgiving.

I see what they are trying to do -- replacing them with "similar" games from the same franchises -- but the flaw with this logic is most casual viewers don't have fond childhood memories of something like "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption" for the Wii. Casual people who are going to donate and get excited about the show are going to donate (and watch) because they grew up playing Super Metroid in grade school or remember working hard to get 120 stars in Super Mario 64, games arguably from the golden era of console gaming, so even if the speedrunning community as a whole might be burned out on these games it's still important that they're a part of the event.

AwfulTroonsDoneSlow is well under way. Lets recap this run:

1. This dudette is bad at the game and making countless errors
2. Who the heck wears a dress? Girls wear sweat shirts or whatever fashion trend is going on
3. Colored hair and annoying voice+bad commentary

The first of many to come. Brace yourself lads!

I am always beside myself when it comes to GDQ events these days. It's no secret that I am a fan of speedrunning and I've been watching Games Done Quick since literally the very first marathon, but I am so displeased with what it has become. I feel like a dick for thinking this way, since it's a charity event, but I have just been waiting for a GDQ event to earn less than its predecessor to hopefully signal the end of this event and to allow a proper successor to eventually take its place.

You have ESA and RPGLimit as alternatives tbh. That's what I watch currently. Maybe I could watch some of the runs this years because they don't have proto on the mic (thank god). I'm really curious about how do they play Hollow Knight. The game is fucking amazing.

He seems to be a literal nobody, with many 0 view videos, 18 subs, and only around 1000 total upload views:

He's also a proud tranny:

and only has around 1000 Twitch followers.

Also he'll ban you if you make helicopter jokes:

Years ago he didn't look much different either.

It should come as no surprise that he's the GDQ equivalent of a diversity hire.

Imagine paying 5 dollars to use the chat and then get banned because you used the word "he" instead of "she".

 

[RJ MacReady]

They just took the chat out of sub mode. No idea if it's by accident.

E: Back in sub mode. Weird.

They've removed the crowd cam during intermissions and when asked about it they gave this smug, obtuse response:

That's no fun allowed taken to an extreme.

There used to be a really chill mod you could PM and pretty much no matter what he'd unban you. I'm sure he got removed from the mod team after they realized he wasn't a hardass like the rest of them though.

I like to imagine KevinDDR (on the left) is laughing because he can see the post overlaid on the image.

Oh yeah a couple classic old posts highlight gamesdonequick's money practices

What really bothers me is that several people are paid a secret salary out of the money the community gives. (source: https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/a_change_is_in_order.html)

Yet you are not allowed to know what their salary is despite the community being the ones that raise the money in the first place. This is blamed on "cultural differences in America", yet last time I checked politician's salaries are public in the US too, because the taxpayers who actually pay them have a right to know."

In cased you missed Chris Chan on stream, they already posted the video.

He...doesn't even try to sound like a woman at all.

This F-Zero speedrun they got on right now is pretty cool, though. Player is pretty inoffensive since he's just talking about the game and isn't acting dumb.
