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.
I personally had no idea that RWhiteGoose "cheated" at Goldeneye. I mean, I guess I can believe it but I never considered it nor had I heard about it. His reasons for doing so were pretty amusing though.

IIRC most of his 'cheating' was done in the early days of Goldeneye speedruns and was only done to prove how easy it was to cheat, so unless you've been following since the mid 2000s you probably completly missed that

CJGaroff does a fantastic Hitman speedrun, but the game encourages quick finishes anyways.

I remember someone beating Spyro 2 in like five minutes.

Even my man CJ has his moments, he apparently got really salty over a runner overtaking him by using his strats. Granted, the runner also used cheats, but it's still noteworthy that he was rather unchill a few years back.

I was gonna put him in a footnote on the HMF thread, but guy's last cow-ish actions were a long time ago. Now, Kotti, there's a real sperg.
 
GDQ's website added a host of new rules on behaviour that I didn't notice before the last event, instructing runners and commentators to be as bland as possible and warning them that anything they say will be monitored closely through their headsets. I could be mistaken but I swear these are new, probably in response to the non-dramas at the past few events.

Everyone ready for Troon Gaming Done Quick this weekend? Taking bets on what the SJW's will get in an uproar against this year. Will someone tell the audience to go kill themselves? Will we have another Troon makeout on stage?

Considering that Proto is a host they might have to completely kill the chat every time he appears. Then pitch a fit about Twitter because people will go there and bitch about Proto whilst using the hashtag.

Honestly this may be for the best. At least there is now a dedicated containment area for the worst aspects of speed running, and there are other organizations that are starting up.

If any of them take off, they'll spread their infection there. GDQ didn't have problems with this troon shit until it was pulling in hundreds of thousands of viewers, millions in annual donations and chunks of mainstream press. These parasites don't and can't build or contribute, just feed on it like locusts and move on to the next big thing.

But the reality is that things like GDQ don't die because they're disrupted by competitors. They die because of infighting and awful decisions made by the fickle-minded incompetents who usurped control from the idiots who were too timid to stop them.

I just skimmed it, but none of that is particularly unreasonable. "Don't actively be a cunt" isn't too much to ask for an event that gets some mainstream attention.

You can feel free to disagree, but most people consider showing basic politeness not to be political correctness gone too far.

That said, I don't really find the stream that interesting without all the amateurish fuckups that used to happen, so I don't watch it anymore.

It shouldn't be, but when you conjure a host of new guidelines in response to a lame poke at trannies, the context and intent is obvious.

See, these rules are alright. It’s the people behind these rules that are all fucked up. It’s an attempt to seem reasonable, while banning anyone they feel like in the background.

The suggested topics make me think it will be bland commentary drowned out by Edobean reading "will donate more if reader says poyo" donations for hours. The banning of "polarizing or controversial" topics will be interesting, since everything is polarizing now and the organizers will be watching twitter for things like this

The whole thing gets blander and blander because they ban people for doing just that. Now that the whole thing's blandness is enforced, I don't have much hope that it'll ever be as amusing as it once was, unless we get more blubbering and nervous trainwrecks. As entertaining players get weeded out and their announcers drone on and on with donations that just go through the same motions each and every time, the whole thing is becoming completely soulless.

These people are upset because they want Cosmo's..."past life," or whatever you want to call it, to stay a secret and fade away into obscurity, right? If you kick up a big stink for misgendering somebody, doesn't that draw even more attention to that fact?

I've been following Cosmo since the whole "transition" thing, which I use lightly, by the way as self dosing hormones is a great way to fuck everything about you up. Mentally and physically.

Anyway,

I'm intentionally misgendered by people I live with, and it has almost no effect on me. When other people let it affect them for me, then it bothers me. Cosmo can stand up for himself, but instead revels in the whole virtue signaling crap so many troons support. To me, this isn't a case of "REEE STOP MISGENDERING" and more like cosmo sitting on the sidelines approving of the people who run to his defense when it's literally no one's place but his own.

Not to mention AGDQ has been wayyyy too liberal (heh) with their support of LGBT rights. Last I checked, being too politically correct is still a political stance on a community, and the rules have stuff against that, right? If you're gonna claim you don't allow discussion of politics, or enforce something along those lines you can't run around yelling at people going "I SUPPORT DA GAYS!!!11oneone!" and then turning around and doing something like banning a maga hat for being "too political"
