The Yetee's site keeps going down. They recently moved to a new butt server to prepare for the AGDQ onslaught but they're still getting hammered. On the plus side, despite the issues, they're selling shirts faster than ever and have raised over $6500 already.

ETA: My design's been mentioned here before but what the hell, plugging it again 'cause it's for charity.

That's yours? Congrats, you got me to spend actual money on a video game shirt. It's cool.

edit: that sounds like sarcasm, but its not

Depressing comments are the only ones that have any actual content to read though. Look at the tracker, and apart from that it's all dumb memes and variations on "first donation/gently caress cancer/I love [game]/save the animals."

I can see why they want to read some comments, and the vast majority of the non-depressing ones aren't worth the energy it would take for the announcer to open their mouth.

Why is this crap on now, and the TAS segment on when I'm going to have to be sleeping?

100% is interesting if it's genuinely adding a whole bunch more stuff, like in meat boy or dark souls all bosses, but when its just a bunch more dkr tracks or some poo poo...

The silence is really the worst thing.

It's not like the marathon is going terribly, but maybe it would be raising even more than it is if they weren't threatening to give potential donators those terrible hats.

I didn't expect to be so invested in Blechy's fuel meter.

Am I crazy or is the third player's stream dimmer than the rest? It was like that for the lawnmower thing as well. What's going on there?

The guy at the back seems to be having trouble staying awake. Pretty sure he slept through the donation calling him out.

So what happened to Medibot being an announcer? I don't see him on the schedule anymore.

By announcer, do you mean the donation caller/turtle beach buzzword delivery mechanism? If so, am I reading this right and there's a schedule for who's up for that? Where can I find it, I keep hearing voices I recognise but can't put a name to.

My router spent most of yesterday making GBS threads itself. Apart from the awful block, are there any highlights from between tetris and half life?

gently caress this dragon in the normal game, let alone speed runs. I have no idea why video games put in dragons for you to fight when the one major character trait of dragons in all forms of media is that they fly above you where you can't hit them.

Dragons are big fire breathing flying lizards and that's pretty cool and badass.

Little videos explaining individual speedrunning tricks might be a nice way to kill time between runs.

This would be neat. Giving a little context to some of the more difficult/less visually impressive tricks that might not be obvious to someone who doesn't know the game would be a good way to advertise future runs or maybe tell us what was happening in a previous run. Much more interesting that ten minutes of some dude fiddling with a snes.
