 It's Duckfist time! He's running MM9 Buster Only and MM10 normally, and I consider both to be must watch runs.

UraniumAnchor posted:However, neither of the DVRs recorded a single frame of gameplay. 60 hours of black on both of them. That's what I get for not checking the cables myself. We still have the xsplit recordings, so we can trim and upload those, but goddammit. Wow, that sucks. That's one of those things where you just have to laugh at yourself then shrug it off and make the best of what you got. I imagine it's a mistake you guys won't make next time, so there's that at least.

Cosmo's doing a hilarious OoT run based on a puzzle put forth by Sockfolder, where he has to get the Mirror Shield, Kokiri Gauntlets, and Zora Tunic but is banned from the following things: - Requiem - Zelda's Lullaby - Magic Beans - Bombchus - Deku Sticks - Gerudo Card - Hylian Shield - Cojiro the Cucco and further in that trading line - Giant Wallet - Blue Fire outside IC (I don't know what that means) However, as I was typing that up, it seems Cosmo has already been painted into a corner he may not be able to recover from, due to forgetting about not having the Lullaby.

furry drum circle posted:Unfortunately I have no choice but to admit that FF7 will be a cash cow and bring in a ton of donations... I imagine the bidding war for Cloud's date alone will be ridiculous. This is pretty much the heart of the entire matter. If it were just about putting together the most diverse and interesting lineup of speedruns possible, all 12 hours of FF7 probably wouldn't even make the first list, much less the final roster. However, the primary goal of the marathon is to make money, and FF7 is still a massively popular game, has incredible nostalgia factor, and will probably cause a shitload of donations for various silly things like you mentioned. Now, as for completely super redundant runs, including Portal 1 for the 4th time (AGDQ, JRDQ, SGDQ, being the first three), especially when Romscout's previous runs of the game have been somewhat lacking, just seems pointless when they're also including Portal 2. Of course, both of these games are hugely popular as well and will at least generate donations for the room to sing that drat ending song yet again, so I can see why both are on the list here, too.

furry drum circle posted:SDA's marathon schedule just went under some changes: Portal 1, Maverick Hunter X, and Viewtiful Joe have been cut. Deus Ex Human Revolution has been added. Metal Gear Solid is now Twin Snakes. And Jape can't go now so Monkey Ball is no longer a race :^( I'm glad Portal and Maverick Hunter X got cut, those were two of the biggest weak spots in the old schedule imo, being that portal 2 is on the schedule and 1 has been in the last 3 marathons, and Mega Man already had a 6 hour block before MVX. Now there's a little more variety with DE:HR. Hooray they listened to reason and cut Portal 1. Did they mention why VJ got the axe? I would think that would be a neat game to see run.

Cosmo started this Blind Run file today, but he actually had started a different one a couple days ago where he was playing an actual speedrun route as opposed to a natural route through the game. Him managing to get Bombchus early without seeing the screen blew my mind. Also, after 8 hours, he's finally putting the Blind Run Challenge on pause and going with an actual MST run attempt.

The timing of this charity marathon is now completely uncanny from my perspective. Last night, after a mere three days of us knowing there was anything seriously wrong at all, my 79 year old grandmother passed away from what was described to us as "a super aggressive form of lymphoma". She was feeling a little fatigued but otherwise alright earlier this week, so she went to the doctor on Wednesday. At first they thought it was Congestive Heart Failure, which is basically just fluid buildup and extremely manageable. We got the call that she needed to be hospitalized that night and that they thought it was acute leukemia. By Thursday, they determined that it was actually lymphoma and that her white blood cell count had jumped up to 120k (normal is 12k). By Friday, that count had jumped up to 196k and thickened her blood to the point where her body wasn't properly transporting oxygen around; this led to a stroke. By Saturday, any idea of attempting chemotherapy or hope for recovery was gone, and then she was gone less than an hour into Sunday. It's honestly been such a whirlwind of events and changing information that it's still hard to believe it is real. After all, my grandmother was previously a 9 year survivor of breast cancer, and she had semi-annual blood work tests to monitor for any return of that condition. Her most recent tests in September were completely normal, and yet here we are in mid-December and she's gone. I am only thankful that, in the end, she passed quickly and peacefully, rather than the long, drawn out suffering that her husband - my grandfather - went through due to lung cancer four years ago. With my grandmother's passing, all of my grandparents have now passed, with three of them dying due to various forms of cancer or complications related to cancer. I'm not telling you all this to garner pity or sympathy. I'm typing it out partly because it's helping me to collect my thoughts and process this whole situation. I'm also posting it because I will be using this or a similar writeup as my first donation's comment to be read on the stream, both as a way of honoring her memory and as a way of driving home just how large an impact cancer can have on so many people and their families. I still don't know that I buy into the idea that cancer can necessarily be prevented, but I'm absolutely down with the idea of working towards better treatments and faster diagnoses. I hope that, if anyone's on the fence about donating to the cause, that this account and others like it might convince you to give what you can during this holiday season.
