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.
Fallout New Vegas had an exploitable design that let you properly speedrun even without playing on PC.

I watched a Crash Bandicoot 2 100% speedrun that was actually speedy and not one moment of hesitation to be found, it was impressive.

The runner also had the courtesy to speak only about how it was even achieved in the first place.

What's that one?
 
AGDQ is the most awkward that could exist. You're watching this cool speedrun and suddendly the runner/couch starts acting autistic or the donation messages are so sad they kill the mood. Remember that time a guy stoped the run to say it's ben two years since his "girlfriend" transitioned?

I don't really get those who attempt to speed run RPG's like Pokemon. Considering how RNG plays a very large factor in most of those kinds of games, it just feels like an exercise in futility.

Pokemon is a massively popular Nintendo game, so of course it has a lot of speedrunners. It also helps that the first gen games are hilariously buggy so you can do some crazy shit and it's at least entertaining to watch.

Bumping this thread because Summer Games Done Quick 2017 (#SGDQ2017) is beginning on Sunday (July 2).

The schedule for the event is available here, and will automatically adjust to your local time zone: https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule

Nothing really jumps out at me as a potential drama show (because most of the embarrassing shit is done by people on the couch, who aren't announced on the schedule), but if you want some idea of when to watch Twitch chat to see people being cancerous:
  • NieR: Automata is being run by halfcoordinated, a runner with physical handicap who has use of only one hand.
  • The Tetris Grandmaster block features not one but two transgender runners (Protomagicalgirl & EnchantressOfNumbers).
  • Stivitybobo is running Banjo-Kazooie, and in the past people have sent in donations specifically to fuck with him.

So is that announcer just an extremely ugly bio-woman?

edit: Hah, should have looked in the twitch chat. Not sure why I ever had any doubt.

Yeah, that's a dude or whatever. Protomagicalgirl was originally pinned for just one run this year (Tetris: The Grandmaster) but I had no idea she was part of the event staff this year. Her "interview" with Johncarls after Azure Striker Gunvolt was absolutely atrocious. She has a terrible camera presence. During the pre-game show she was outclassed by Spikevegeta, Feasel, and Golden -- Golden being the person with the best hosting persona. Twitch chat hates her, and it's probably 50/50 between just being transphobic assholes and Protomagicalgirl genuinely being bad on camera.

Really not looking forward to a fucking week of her.

Completely forgot SGDQ was starting today. Thanks for the heads up. Haven't watched since 2015, wonder how it's doing nowadays. That one donation comment with Sam's wife or whatever during Stivitybobo's run was fantastic.

Proto has a fucking god awful nasal voice and spent every minute on the mic during the pre-show and Nier squealing, snorting and bouncing around like a child on Adderall. I'm lucky I had other shit to do because he made the start of the event insufferable, which sucks because Halfcoordinated's runs are always special. The less we see or hear of this faggot the better. Hosts and dono readers have never bothered me until Proto.

I dunno man, "DOOOOOOOOOOM" guy from SGDQ 2016 was some pretty top fucking shelf cringe. :lol:

edit: For those who don't remember, they had some guy reading donations while trying to get people to raise money for an incentive to play the classic PC game Doom. However, every time he'd say the name of the game he'd adopt a really stupid voice and string the name of the game out, which of course in turn prompted people to donate with "Doom" in the comments just to bait him into saying it. This went on for like an hour.

The difference, at least to me, is that Doom guy was a single incident from an otherwise tolerable host.

bit off topic, but why do trannies always wanna be witches?

No idea. There was another transgender woman who used to go to GDQ events named Withhelde who was very low key and kept to herself, but dressed in gothic/lolita fashion. She was pretty chill, and was good at Mario Party.

For all you Protomagicalgirl fans out there, he/she/whatever got triggered over the emoticon "danSexy" (pictured above -- from DansGaming's channel, a major streamer) and REEEEEE'd on Twitter until one of Games Done Quick's moderators banned its usage in chat.

This is currently being discussed in the /r/speedrun subreddit, though the post has now been locked.

Edit: The person who banned the emote is, unsurprisingly, probably a troon themselves.
