Honestly, they should ban PC ports of console games that are not officially supported on modern systems, because that's the source of a lot of technical issues.
I get the impression that there aren't spare setups for runners to set up on while the previous game is going, which would be a nice change. Maybe even have two complete stream setups so you can alternate between them. If the runner isn't willing to come an hour ahead of time and test their setup on the actual PC used for streaming, they shouldn't submit a run.

That might not have helped the Tetris block, since it was the same people for multiple runs, but I feel like the long setup blocks are the worst part of the stream.

Yuck, I'm not a coffee drinker so the only $6 coffee I'd drink would be filled with sugar and caramel and a bunch of bad poo poo for you. I just got home from Wawa cause it's Hoagiefest baby with a $4.99 hoagie (available at participating stores).

So do you have a lot of work waiting for you once you get home or can you chill for a bit? Big props for getting the videos up so fast this year. Before I work out tonight I think I'm gonna check out that LTTP run.

UraniumAnchor, are you in charge of getting the VODs up on Youtube too? If so, great job on that because I think at this point they are all there and even though some of the descriptions say there are audio issues, they all seem great to me.

A single stream setup is already Miles and miles of cables and i don't even want to think about what kind of matrix youd need to have it route back to a single capture so they're not cutting stream between every run

I have some serious audio issues to fix with several of the earlier runs but for the most part it'll just be trimming out ads and moving interviews around. I'm not sure how many HD runs we actually managed to capture in HD this time around.

I made the mistake of looking at the comments of that and the first one is accusing the whole thing being a scam for you to make big bank off of. With a few 'SJWs ruined GDQ' sprinkled in. Which made me wonder how the BotW video was doing... Is there a chrome plugin that completely removes the option to read Youtube comments so I can't let idle curiosity get the better of me?

"This woman...she's killed before, and not just once..."


A little postmortem I guess:

-Like people said earlier there was a good spread of quality. Barring JSRF things went alright, and even then Flagman didn't say anything Spike would later parrot and make me hate words

-The surprise incentives were kinda weird. I don't remember if there were that many in previous marathons

-Finale was chill but really underwhelming. I'm not sure what the criteria is but I think something with overall more pulse beyond just the ending would be good for future finales. Hopefully their delay stuff is ironed out to save us from being as rushed out the door as this marathons ending felt.

-Bingo was fun but a few squares were a little too situational. Not that it should be easy but they were basically junk blocks and the thread prolly said better than I could

-High point of the thread, at least what I was around for, was the DK64 run. Everyone came together and it was easily the best night of the week.

-Low point was my presence during Twilight Princess. I was way too salinated during that run and gave really imbalanced and wishy washy thoughts on the game, which I super regret. Luckily I doubt this is the last time they'll run TP at a GDQ so I can adjust my thought ASAP.

I enjoyed posting alongside you goons, and while I prolly won't follow other marathon threads as vigorously I'll definitely stick around for future GDQs.

I'm thinking of running some games of my own once I ditch my arbitrary artistic deadlines. Prolly Ex-Mutants and Rolling Thunder 3.

E: holy poo poo I suck at being succinct

I found that point in your history and nah, TP is bad and everything you said is proper. TP is a slog of a game that only doesn't get more meh opinions is because of the Zelda paint on top of it.

She did the horrid thing of saying on twitter "yo it's lovely that every time a trans woman is on screen they spam an emote of a dude with a beard and huge boobs," "hey if you're commenting during my run use #boop so you'll get read," and then also being a trans woman who is prominent and well liked at the event.

She contributes so much energy and good commentary to GDQ, it's horrible that people can't appreciate that and instead focus on hatred of something that isn't any of their drat business.


edit: To be clear even if PMG contributed nothing at all it would be just as terrible, just focusing on how positive an impact she has.
