Speedrunning Thread (Take 2) - GOTTA GO FAST

[Leonard Helplessness]

He complained about Air Canada until the GDQ twitter apologized. The Air Canada twitter didnt seem to know what's going on. Everyone assumed he was banned for having fun, at the time.

Thanks for the info. It looks like GDQ is running again, so I wanted to bring something up, though it's a crossover from the Something Awful thread.

Something Awful has a large and extremely vocal tranny community, and I noticed when going through one of their threads that they hate Games Done Quick:



Note that Something Awful filters the word "shitty" so it displays as "lovely" if you're not logged in. Anyone have info about what GDQ did to get on the bad side of so many troons?

Nothing. It takes absolutely nothing to piss off SA because they live in a completely different reality from our own.

Gave in to every single demand they had. That's never enough, you always have to do more. Never give an inch.

They had a "girls" only event, called Frame Fatales. It seemed to divide the trans runners. It made Proto quit completely and fight with Miles about it.

Proto was pissed because they were giving him less opportunities to attention whore before this. Them not inviting him to be the face of the women event was just the last straw.

Good, and nothing of value was lost.

What.

This is an event literally infamous for letting any idiot in a dress speedrun even if they barely know how to hold the controller upright and banning people expressing any political opinion to the right of Stalin on implication alone. You can't even post in the chat unless you drop a couple bucks and prove your loyalty as an "ally." GDQ doesn't just get "rule changes," it gets an extra layer of rules on top of even more rules every year.

The worst part is, these posters just assert even more negative assumptions on GDQ just because they felt slighted by a single side event they did in the post. They don't even explain anything, so an outsider reading this can't even extract any information out of their incessant whining. It's all just hearsay enforcing lies on top of lies.

Keep in mind that literally 100% of the posters in that screenshot are trans, so it is unquestionable that they're whinging over the "Frame Fatale" event which only allowed female speedrunners, they're just not admitting it.

They held an event for "girls only" (because it's GDQ, it was pretty tranny heavy) called "Frame Fatales" - it was panned for a number of reasons.

- It is pretty blatant pandering to girls with minumum effort. Here's the entire GDQ page for Frame Fatales '20 (https://gamesdonequick.com/framefatales) - it's literally like a page.
- Games Done Quick, as HIV positive as they are, is a company focused on pushing out decently produced live content and events. Frame Fatales was not considered an official event and did not have a venue, it was literally just a bunch of coordinated and shitty livestreams.
- Because it was not an official event and targeted "women" runners, the runs were not very good.
- Because it was not an official event - "women" felt like this was meant to be a containment zone for them, leaving the "real" events (AGDQ, SGDQ) for the "boys".
- Because it was not an official event - it wasn't heavily pushed or promoted, meaning no one gave a shit.

"Female" - I thought you were being literal so I started going through last year's schedule to see if it was, in fact, all females. I didn't even need to look up 4 people before I hit tranny dirt (with 100% clairty, unless my trannyradar is busted). I won't bother pointing out which of these is "Gliitchwiitch" (a horiffic name, nice branding lol) or why a speedrunner who can only hold a world record in a category only they run shouldn't be watched seriously by anyone, but here we are.

Realistically, Trannies are incapable of being happy - but I would imagine they would like a "trans" only GDQ with TransLifeLine as the charity.

Dilation done quick. Goddamn what a joke this has become.

I’m sure you’re all waiting with bated breath for the reveal of this year’s meme which eradicates all other jokes and commentary (remember Orb?, hype? Waluigi laugh?)
This year it’s “honk”, from that cute goose game. It’s a little bit on the nose for the word everyone bleats nonstop at each other.
If you ever want to see a reddit thread come to life, I can’t recommend Agdq highly enough.

It was incredibly annoying and ruined a lot of otherwise interesting runs. Some of the donation comments were atrocious attempts at puns containing "honk" that made me want to turn off the stream.

It’s so obnoxious. It comes off as “XD so randem *holds up spork*” type of humor. All the creativity from AGDQ seems to have been sapped this year.

Proto wanted GDQ to outright ignore submissions from popular male runners and instead incorporate more women aka trans women into events. GDQ didn't bend this time [probably because they knew it would hurt their money] and thought it would be a good compromise to simply make an all girls event and be ultra inclusive, but that wasn't good enough for Proto as you see in the tweets.

But this goes well beyond that. There has been problems behind the scenes with Proto and GDQ staff for months before this. Nobody really knows why, it might just be because of the Frame Fatales event, but they removed Proto from the front and center of things and he wasn't happy about it. Word has it that they made a rule specifically to make it more difficult for Proto to be a host.

But yeah, typical "if you give a mouse a cookie" stuff. If you give a tranny what they want to try and make them happy, they'll find something else to bitch about. Because they'll never truly be happy.

The new AGDQ funny word is "honk" this year. If you actually intend to watch anything from AGDQ for some reason, I sincerely hope you find hearing the crowd yell "honk" every ten seconds hilarious even after the fiftieth time, else you'll find these speedruns more unwatchable than usual.

Apparently there was also a guy in the audience trying to yell commentary from the crowd, and I can assure you there's not going to be anybody to tell him to jump in front of a bus this time.

 

[dopy]

jump in front of a bus this time.

or perhaps sniff a chair

Absolute mad lad, in the saddest way possible of course.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

He picked up a bottle sitting under his chair.

Still funny tho

 

[MysticMisty]

Nobody really knows why

My guess would be all the complaints he generates at every event he's present at. Even though they can't publicly say or do anything without being declared transphobic, behind the scenes they're evidently not happy with the shit he pulls. Like when he graphically made out with his then-boyfriend in full view of the camera after a run they participated in (and sucked at). Or when he wore a short skirt, hiked up, and sitting with his legs spread so everyone could see his dick bulge through his underwear.

And that's only shit caught on camera, Proto was most certainly doing much more behind the scenes since he's such a massive drama whore. Especially when he decided to hop aboard the plural fad, and gave himself more opportunities to be "misgendered".
