About 15k up right now. The big thing that bumped last year was that insane rush in the final day that dumped over a million into the bank.

Yeah if I recall there was some sort of Anime pack that went over very well.

I think historically they are not, they usually release an "actual total donation amount" after all the twitch subs and bits have been figured out.

Crossposting because it will probably get buried and die in the regular chat thread:

If you think what they managed to make the SNES do with Star Fox 2 is insane, let me introduce you to X, a spaceflight tanksim game for the Game Boy. Not Game Boy Color. Not Game Boy Advance. I mean this:



Edit: Technically it's more of a tank sim (think Battlezone) rather than a spaceflight sim, but the fact that they managed to do this on a Game Boy is pure insanity.
Fun fact: The person who programmed X is the same guy (Dylan Cuthbert) who brought us Stunt Race FX, Star Fox, and Star Fox 2.

Yo thanks for sharing. That is crazy.

halfcoordinated continues to be good and cool even when he's running two random games you've never heard of programmed by a total of three people.

Also if you haven't seen the documentary feature on him, put that on your YouTube watch list too:

I had a fiddle about with the graphs. Tell me if the thinner lines look alright, or if the dots on the hour average and daily total ones make it too busy.

I will probably do the games individually after the week is over and I start rewatching so I can add comments for runs if anything abnormal was going on in/before/following them.

You should freeze the top row for the hourly pace tab so after scrolling down you don't have to remember what each column represents.

Also I'm not entirely sure what the point of keeping track of the pace is since historically tons of donations come in on the last day and blow way past it (which you can see on that tab and in the totals chart in the next tab)

Yup. If you're familiar with SAS, this is the N/V thread. The other thread is the GDT thread.

Also, could someone do me a favor and watch Mass Effect tomorrow? I loved that game, and I have to work during it.

Good as new.
How accurate is the schedule? Do they wait in-between games to make games start when scheduled, or do they slowly pull ahead over the course of the day or whatever?

Mainly asking because I want set like an alarm for when they start Zelda later today, and I want to make sure I don't miss any of it. If I were to set a time for like, 6:30 (-7 GMT), would that be a safe bet (it's scheduled for 6:37), or should I check in sooner than that?

They adjust the schedule. I would probably try to get up earlier than that just in case, but they do occasionally get behind schedule.

Games get run as they're ready. The schedule tends to shift, though not by a definite direction - setup times run long and runs turn in below estimate, in general. Usually setup runs longer than runs go short, so the schedule is slowly pushed back, but the opposite can happen. There aren't that many runs between now and then but you'd probably want to get up a half an hour early at least.

Speaking of setup time, have any of the "bid this much so we replace the setup with ______ game" ever fail? Are they just forced to do a thirty to hour setup while waiting on the next game on the list?

Some have in the past. They just use the time to fix the schedule, like right now they're running 3 or so hours behind. If a setup block didn't get met they'd just make up an hour there and get closer to the original schedule.
