The one not entirely dumb argument I can think of is that there are better charities than PCF. Not that the PCF is bad, mind you, it's still pretty good.

Was there anything really controversial about agdq 2018 aside from having to pay 5 bux to be an edgelord in twitch chat? I don't want to watch that video.

Yeah, I would weakly prefer if they chose a different charity than PCF but like, even as an outside it seems like PCF is stoked to have GDQ and I assume they go above and beyond to be easy to work with at this point and I don't care nearly enough to agitate for a different charity.

everything else is Nazi punks who haven't hosed off yet

I would just make all GDQs be events for Doctors Without Borders because they always need more funding

It was very drama-light, which is a nice change.

haha wow i cant believe how lucky we got to win :D
Once one leaves the speedrunning scene (or just isn’t in it), it’s a lot harder to have the motivation to legitimately be upset about the charity agdq supports (PCF). It’s a big deal when you have no perspective on anything outside of it, which usually happens when you’re young (which is I think what 90% of speedrunners/viewers are).

What can ya do?

a member of the same crew that included cfb and pvtcb, banned last year at agdq

also a gigantic edegelord piece of poo poo

also ran a subreddit dedicated to harassing narcissawright

i am still mad they were even allowed to be at agdq 2017, cyberdemon and that whole crew are loving garbage. one of them (i believe pvtcb) previously threatened to shoot up a gdq event and somehow was loving allowed back and then promptly banned again and i really hope gdq staff learned their lesson to not give second chances to piles of dogshit like any of that crew.

People love to have a reason to hate on GDQ. Why? Because you're not supposed to curse on stream? Because Mike Uyama supposedly had mono that time?

I have yet to hear a real argument. Every point is basically "this charity event, which raises millions of dollars to help people, isn't being run exactly how I would want."

Because some people are just miserable assholes, or in some cases very young and have their world view and education by entirely watching internet videos.

We bought 2 identical emotes (at the same time, it was literally frame-perfect emote buying) over the course of the Better GDQ Thread, which was :emptyquote:, making it unusable for a while.

That's bascially the biggest GDQ drama this year.

the game doesn't support key remapping of any sort, has no gamepad support and I don't even know of any software that lets you map keys to other keys in an especially convenient fashion.

Probably not necessary anymore, but for future reference, writing a remapping script with AutoHotKey at least doesn't require editing the Windows registry and reboots, you could just turn it on and off for a specific program. The initial setup is probably less than especially convenient but it shouldn't be difficult.

For game pads, JoyToKey would be more convenient.

On the subject of GDQ drama, I think this video was made recently. I believe it uses accounts from some of the banned people as sources, so approach with caution. I didn’t watch it for too long I felt my eyes roll out of my skull.

Today PJ started the Dragon View Grand Memory Clobber-rama, where he tries to get the wrong warp to credits on console. 9 hours of attempts every day for the week. It should be a good time. This is a glitch he famously found completely on accident while practicing the speedrun. It happens because the first boss sets a byte that doesn't get cleared, and when it is called later on, the game loses its mind and reads from random spots in memory. Saving and reloading fixes the bad data.

the dumber ones to me aren't the hugely inflated scores but the ones that are impossible because of how the game increments points. you'd think he'd know at least that much about each game.
