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.
ProtoMagicalGirl just interviewed Orcastraw, another trans runner, about her scheduled Breath of the Wild run and if you think there is a tranny at SGDQ2017 that is not involved in some petty drama, you thought wrong.

Essentially, the Breath of the Wild community made a gentlemen's agreement not to submit a run so that they could polish it further and have a strong showing of BotW at AGDQ2018 instead of something halfbaked this year. However, Orcastraw submitted a run close before the deadline as a bonus incentive (which got met) and I'm probably not theorizing too much when I say that it was because the top runners didn't submit and this was her best chance to get some spotlight. Still, she is 8th in the category that's being run, so it's not like she's incompetent.

However, I agree with most people in the thread I linked that they just should have allowed submissions regardless of polish simply because the game is still extremely popular and will rack in a good amount of donations (as it already has). And honestly, people shouldn't have tried to dictate to others what can and can't be submitted in the first place. Still, you know, big coincidence that the one person who submitted a run behind everyone's back while the rest of the community tried to put Speedrunning first was a tranny. Or maybe it wasn't, considering that 80% of the people there seem to be trans. It might benefit the charity, but it poisons the community.
 
I hope he has some ace up his sleeve and WRs. The run might be more polished in six months but its also going to be totally mundane with no real chance of surprise.

Just now saw we had an official thread. Good fucking god.

Honestly, lolcows being incontinent doesn't even surprise me anymore. I used to think Chris was especially pathetic with his NUMBERS OF PAIRS OF DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS, but after I found out that a large contingent of autists actually had a fetish for them it lost its shock value.

:horrifying:
 
I understand now that speedrunning is gay and autistic, but which is more important?

Is it gay first, and then autistic second, or is the autism the most important part?
 
I'd say the ratio of "gay" to "autistic" is imbalanced, but in such an imperceptibly small amount that any difference it makes could only be noticed in Picospergs.
 
ESA can be worth it for the unfiltered donations alone. For some reason they're cuck themed right now.

"Watching your run with my wife's son, he's really enjoying it!" "Always watching ESA with my girlfriend's husband, we're really enjoying it!" "Share the love like I share my wife!"
:story:

And everyone on the couch is just laughing and having a great time.

My favorite donations are the ones that are literally written with this thing: http://taskinoz.com/gdq/

Some examples:
- Hey guys, long time viewer, second time donator. It gives me great joy to donate to a great cause. Greetings from cancer. PS: donate the animal, kill the viewer.
- Had to view during this run. Put my money towards save the donation. Lets kick frames's butt!
- Another great day of SGDQ. Love working my childhood donation get destroyed. Money goes to donate the games, donate the games.
