Speedrunning Thread (Take 2) - GOTTA GO FAST

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
So the first SGDQ video popped into my feed, and the first thing I noticed skimming through it is that they made masks mandatory. Either that or peer pressure. Every single person has a mask on.

Even if there was one, we don't need it anymore because AGDQ is irrelevant now.

Agreed. Every speedrunner-type person who is especially prolific has their own thread and generally the community is only prolific in getting people to transition (for some reason... narcissistic mother stuff? Social media/porn addiction? Idk)

There's rare instances where something funny happens in a single community. It was more common a few years ago because edgy folk weren't ostracized completely yet.

GDQ is only relevant because it's where all these smelly armpits meet up. Sometimes there's mildly funny shit but I find it's the same stuff over and over again.

Btw - that Keizaron tweet from the last page was entirely reactionary to his gf (?) not getting a slot into GDQ. It is a bad take simply because it doesn't come from a genuine place.

Blanket answer, they made masks required to enter the convention area part of the hotel. And not just masks, masks they specifically give you at the door. My understanding is this is to enforce the 'plain cloths rule'.

They don't even have to wear blindfolds, just turn the video on the TV off/cover it. Shit is fake as hell.

Or if they're livestreaming, face the wall or something. The whole wearing blindfold thing seems very performative. They don't even have to wear it.
 
To be fair, some of the people who put things over their heads is so they don't have to deal with a random jackass that shouts "fake!" and to also cover situations where it would be difficult to prove they didn't have an alternative way to see what they were doing, like using mirrors. There was this one guy who was figuring out the route to finish Ocarina of Time blind, and he always put a pillowcase over his head even though he blanked his screen too. You couldn't see the screen because of the camera angle, but the thing on his head would help the audience follow along with the idea.

This is the crying soy star wars fan in retrogaming form.


It's not clear from the video for some reason but the basic idea is that beta stuff and other extra stuff can be inserted via code into an unmodified Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time rom in real time to make a new gameplay experience.

And all soyboys everywhere are crying about it and cumming in their diapers. Over what is essentially a glorified fanfiction romhack. Yeah okay, the rom is technically "unmodified" but that's just semantics.

This romhack played at AGDQ:


Zelda is one of my favorite N64 games and the beta stuff is interesting, but come on, it's just a glorified romhack and the twitch messages in the ending is cringe. You're all crying over 23 year old games for kids and WW3 hasn't even started yet.
