GDQ is the best time of the year

For real, I love having AGDQ right after the holidays. The best way to start the new year? Play video games and fight cancer!

Seriously, someday I'd like to just take a couple weeks off and do a crazy marathon run of MAGFest and AGDQ. Someday.

Well, to be honest, I don't _really_ need to read the PLATFORM, RELEASE YEAR and ESTIMATE texts all the time

But the donation tracker text could be a bit larger.

IMO it's important to keep the game info up for any new viewers that join and have no other context.

I just realized there's no cuphead, mind blown. Would be great to see that game getting destroyed in the 1.0 version with the weapon swap glitch.

It just came out a few months ago so it was far less likely to get into this AGDQ. If it's gonna get into a GDQ, I'd expect it in this year's SGDQ.

Of course, Sonic Mania came out in August and it's in this marathon so what do I know?

beep by grandpa posted:

The first time it was in a marathon, it was a pretty humorous twist that changed things up and gave some variety so it wasn't just like "every other marathon". But it's been done multiple times now and frankly, I think the joke has gotten old by this point.

Especially nowadays there's so many speedrunners that have great runs to offer, and we are putting them aside to put in this running gag that I feel like most people honestly don't care to watch anymore. The AwGDQ last year took up 6 hours of timeslots. That's quite a lot for what it is, you could fit an entire game block or two with that much time, and I am sure they would be more entertaining and bring in more donations.

I really dislike seeing this go on and not really hearing anyone say anything about it, if AwDGQ does happen this year, please make it the last time, or at the least please shorten how long it is.

Or if you want to keep that time block of "something different", let people run their lesser known games that I know people would want to watch (Billy Hatcher is a good example). You could call it "Obscure Games Done Quick" or something idk.

Awful Games Done Quick just doesn't seem fair to either the people interested in going to the marathon or to the viewers and supporters for the marathon. Thanks.

Please source them.

Terrible games can result in great speedruns. I don't see the need to sequester them in their own segment though. If they are runs worth showing then they can stand on their own like any other game.

I never played Splatoon and I don't know anything about it, but it's aesthetic is giving me Jet Set Radio vibes.

Splatoon happened because Nintendo took a chance with making a new IP instead of another Mario game, IIRC. And it is good.

Sheetz is our favorite place to stop for sandwiches/snacks/coffee/bathroom when we're on road trips between GA and NJ.

We've done the drive enough to know what exits have them. There's a stretch on I-81 in Virginia where there's no Sheetzeses between exits 40 and 222 or so.

is the Sheetz vs. Wawa fight more intense than NJ's Taylor Ham vs. Pork Roll fight?

If anything it would be QuickChek vs. Wawa.

And it's Taylor ham. You say pork roll if you're not in NJ.

For real, if I were to go to a deli in northern NJ and try to order a "pork roll egg & cheese" the lady behind the counter might give me a funny look or say "you're not from around here, huh?"

We're moving back to NJ next month and I can't wait to get my Taylor ham egg & cheese with hot sauce from the deli near my wife's family's house. Oh god it's the greatest breakfast thing ever.

Want to make good pancakes? Here's what I do:

1 cup Bisquick
1 cup milk
1 egg

Whisk that poo poo :circlefap:

I use a ceramic electric skillet at ~375 F, it's big enough to fit 3 pancakes at a time. They're good to flip when you can tap the middle of the pancake and batter doesn't stick to your finger. Then they're done on the other side in like a minute, it won't take long. This is also a great time to add butter since it'll be nice and hot.
