God, that final level looked like such a wet fart of an ending to a wet fart of a game.

If you don't like this run, go put on the VOD of the story mode run from a couple years ago where, at one point, the runner gives the AI opponent a 25 second head start

The deadline for submissions was after BotW was released. For AGDQ I think the cutoff was September or early October, right before Mario released.

IIRC there was some weird pastebin drama about the BotW run, because the major runners had all agreed to wait until the run was a little more refined before trying to get it into a GDQ event, and the one runner who did it didn't get the memo (and also any% is not the greatest category anyway).

I watched a bit of tyler1 when he resorted to playing Dota for a couple weeks and can't understand his appeal. He's the very model of a modern toxic shitlord.

Did they explain why the A rank was important?

They mentioned early on in the run that you only get the bosses' special abilities if you maintain an A rank, or something like that. I can't imagine it's hard to do in a speedrun anyway, given that "go fast" is a major criterion.

If there are some interesting ways to break Other M that can make it fun to watch, I wouldn't mind.
Some of my favorite runs are of utter poo poo games.

El Matador was a case in point.

Your Computer posted:

Whether or not AGDQ is a scam, I think it's completely a fair complaint that they do absolutely nothing to actually point out that the charity does practically nothing in the way of actually "solving/curing" cancer.

It's fine to like awareness charities or to assume that they're doing some good in the world, maybe they even are. But when a huge portion of the donations, year after year, are along the lines of "Let's kick Cancer's rear end", "We're going to beat cancer!" or "Let's make it so others don't have to suffer" etc, then it's clear that there's a tonne of people that aren't aware their money is being used for pamphlets rather than research. If they had an actual disclaimer, or actually discussed that it's a fairly worthless charity, or if they gave us options to donate to other charities, I think that'd be a lot more reasonable.

PCF does seem to fund grants for research into early detection, so they're a bit more useful than that. Sure, it's not the best charity (and, personally, I give more to SGDQ because MSF is a much better charity in general), but it's not some sort of massive scam.

Bent kid and silent kid from Burnout Paradise should be permanent couch members.

I'm pretty sure the silent kid from Burnout Paradise was just the runner's kid or little brother, and was just there for moral support.

i just want nintendo to make another yoshi game as good as yoshi's island. part of the reason i hated yoshi's story was that it was piss easy and 100%ing it gave you no real rewards. i never bothered playing any of them since

There was the stealth sequel Yoshi's Island DS, but that game is weirdly difficult.

yoshi's island for GBA turned me off from handheld yoshi games plus i heard the one on DS was bad

I didn't think Yoshi's Island DS was bad, just that the second half of the game is merciless and if you're looking for a casual romp, you're going to have a bad time.

the n64 controller is seriously a piece of work though wtf were they thinking

The N64 controller was Nintendo hedging their bets that analog controls would catch on. When they did catch on, Nintendo was stuck with this 3-armed monstrosity where no one actually used the D-pad arm.

Giant Bowser is both an insanely cool fight graphically and very frustrating to aim (because the game isn't really designed around 3D firing, and it's the only place in the game where eggs fire in arcs).

god remember how bad the DS sequel was to this

Like I said earlier, the DS sequel is less "outwardly bad" and more "ridiculously difficult". If you've ever wanted a Lost Levels of Yoshi's Island, that game might be your jam.

I like OOT any% cause it seems like every time I decide to pay attention to it, there's a new trick that shaves off like 30 seconds. But I only really pay attention like, twice a year

It's something that's fun to watch very rarely, because once the shock of the wrong warp wears off it's not quite as interesting to watch people optimize it further.
