I haven’t followed Ocarina of Time speedrunning for almost a year now and looking in holy poo poo it’s just gotten out of control. You need multiple PHDs to understand how the game works at this point.

I feel like if ZFG got in touch with an Editor he could write a 500 page book on OoT speedrunning.

Speaking of GDQ I really hope they’ve been preparing for a virtual SGDQ this year because that new date of theirs is still not gonna work. And yes I know they hold occasional weekend marathons where everyone is at home but for a full scale GDQ I assume they’ll need to lay a lot more ground work.

The sucky thing is that there’s no way they raise as much money for an all online event as an in person event. It just won’t have the same buzz. Also people are broke so that doesn’t help.

Skyward Sword went from being a 5 hour run to this in under 2 years.

I’m not sure if this is allowed discussion but it’s gone down in GDQ lore.

Deborah (Tolki) from the infamous cuckholding incident at SGDQ2014 by StivityBobo finally told her story and whoah boy it ain’t good.

Yeah it wasn’t “haha that guy got cuckholded” it was literal rape.

Wow, I just found out that Cheese got the 120 star WR again. That’s after taking like 8 months off from the game.

The speedrunning community has been good at spotting cheaters since runs were submitted via VHS recording being physically mailed around. How the gently caress does anyone expect to get away with stuff nowadays?

Well TIL that Karl Jobst and that Goose guy are both shitheads. They made awesome videos on speedrunning that I’ve been following for a while. Dang.

I really can’t remember if I know who that dude is. Has he has any good GDQ runs because that’s all I’d know about him.

Huh, apparently last month StivityBobo wrote up something about his rape accusation which Deb detailed back in July. Why did it take him 6 months?

Edit: lmao I just read it I ain’t gonna link the poo poo but it’s pathetic

It’s literally a matter of time in OoT before they figure out how to warp to the credits by leaving Link’s tree house.

I completely lost interest in OoT speed running when they figured out how to do this poo poo with messing with the game’s code. It’s not a coincidence that OoT has slowly plummeted from its heights as a speed game in 2012 as more and more complicated game breaking tricks have been discovered that basically require you to have an encyclopedic knowledge of how the game works.

I'm psyched for another two months of rerouting the 100% run.

ZFG lives for this.

ZFG is especially great because he’s essentially changed nothing about how he streams since 2012 aside from doing things like putting in a WR comparison video on the screen. But he’s done none of all the unbelievably obnoxious and annoying habits that big streamers have adopted over the years to pump their brand or beg for money.

I gotta hope that the next ADGQ is the triumphant return of it being in person.
