Its a quirk of their physics engine they probably just don't bother fixing because it will only be relevant if you know about it.

You might be thinking of ESA, the European event

Though, years ago these events were called different names, like Classic Games Done Quick or something

That would probably be Japan Relief Done Quick after the earthquake and tsunami hit there in 2011. It raised like $25,000. Don't remember if that was after it became a biannual thing.

they probably tried to fix it three games ago but it'd start screwing up skill gains or shop screens or god knows what else

At this point, its this cobbled together monstrosity of an engine that'd do Cronenberg proud.

idk for most of them but

BigJon got sick, he's been streaming regularly on his own stream though
Trihex skipped this SGDQ so he could go to Anime Expo instead, he's currently streaming on his own stream
WitWix uh, idk he's a twitch celeb now, too much Super Money Maker to skip out on otherwise

You should get a fuckin' citation or something if you've attended a GDQ and you do anything on your channel that isn't hosting the main stream during the event.

A somewhat awkward kid ran Ty the Tasmanian tiger. He seemed really nervous, and his jokes were falling flat, and he also failed to adhere to a $5,000 donation incentive for him to do a pacifist run. It was pretty cringe-worthy and had a lot of "oh.... why would you say that" moments, including making fun of the programming right after a head programmer on the game donated saying that he was excited to see his game broken.

So, to Twitch chat, it was a goldmine of cringe and he's undoubtedly going to be in a compilation cringe video, if he isn't already. In reality, it seemed like a kid trying to be funny, falling flat, and falling down a hole of awkward until it was just so bad that he nervous-talked his way through his run making it worse.
Don't forget when he mentioned discovering a sweet new trick but he wasn't going to show it off.

Most likely yes actually. They intentionally left in the ability to steal by putting a bucket on someone's head in skyrim because it was funny and didn't really hurt the game. Similar thing here, minus the funny part. If I was a bethesda programmer I'm not really sure I would bother to change it either. It's basically a speedrunner's trick and that's it, there's no way for it to interfere with the game unless you intentionally do it. The game already lets you open up the console and cheat anytime you want.

And yet Retro Studios patches the gently caress out of Metroid Prime to make all the speedtricks impossible

like no loving newbie is going to figure out how to get the plasma beam early, fixing it is pointless

Super metroid is pretty much the only metroid game I've played but I thought speedrunning was something the devs encouraged

Anyone with more experience know what the whole load warping trick they showed off in skyrim and this is? It's blowing my mind they're loading older saves and somehow having their current progress transfer over.
