Races are almost universally worse than solo speedruns. The more racers the worse. The one exception is randomizers, or other games where you can have people race on the same seed of a game where you have to route on the fly

I've been drawn into watching old GDQ runs since I got hooked this winter on GDQ2020, and the races have been my favorites for the most part. The Frost Fatales marathon had a really fun randomizer of Pokemon Crystal where instead of a race it was a co-op run with three people on the same randomizer seed working to fill out a bingo card of random goals, but all of the pokemon locations were totally random so they had to figure out where you could catch certain pokémon or get certain TMs, it was cool to see the communication happen in real time.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:

I'm fine with GDQ races if they wind up being pretty close, but the three way races need to go. The person that gets stuck in 3rd place hell gets a "they're not out yet though! The other two can make mistakes!" then they never get mentioned again.

Was watching the X1-X3 race the other day and after it became clear the third team botched a trick super hard they just stopped getting mentioned at all. I couldn't help but feel for the guys because the commentators only bounced off the first two teams so they just kinda silently played some megaman.

Also I never used Amazon really outside of one or two things in the past. Why is the Zero/ZX collection like 50-60 bucks on it while it's 30 everywhere else. I mentioned it earlier but it's still kind of blowing my mind that the markup is that loving drastic :psyduck:

E: Goofy poo poo like the Mario Maker relay race is fun though. I like that

honestly having 3 or 4 people in a race is sort of like hedging your bets, because while it sucks to be the third place person way behind the other two, it sucks way more if it's just a 2 person race and it's really not competitive. The more people you have the more likely you are that there will be two people close to each other jockeying for position.

you're right about the Mario Maker races though, having world-class Mario players playing courses they've never seen before and watching the "how do I beat this" process happen in real time is awesome as hell. It's like the difference between watching figure skating or gymnastics (where the athletes have their routines perfectly planned out and memorized) and like... one of those Japanese obstacle course shows where people run full speed at a door and hope it's the one made out of paper

Gotten farther in Arkham Knight and I've gotten used to the Batmobile enough that I stop pressing L2 to brake and accidentally enter battle mode when I'm supposed to just use Square. I've also opened up just about all but one of the side missions and I'm having a lot of fun not touching the ground.

Tried running Nioh on my AMD Radeon 500 series laptop; DS3 and Witcher 3 both run at a healthy 30-35fps, but Nioh can barely top 10fps in-game. Is my driver not working or is it incompatible with the game?

Does it have a graphics card? If so that particular game might be using the integrated graphics on the CPU instead; some games are weird like that but you can force it to use the GPU in the graphics drivers.

2K is the third major publisher to have all their games removed from geforce now

Did nVidia just not investigate any of the rights issues involved in a service like that? Or do they see it as a threat?
