the digital devil saga SMTs have runs around 5 hours, so you might be able to make a marathon safe run with em.

of course there appears to be 5 runners total for both games combined so probably not gonna happen lol

There was an SMT Marathon on RPG Limit Break's channel in 2017, runs for DDS 1 and 2, Nocturne all went mostly smoothly. Really Really Long A Thon had I think DDS2 All Bosses which was like 16 hours. So marathon safe isn't a problem I think

Number of runners shouldn't really matter, should it? SMT seems less obscure than other stuff we've seen in GDQs

Number of runners is fairly irrelevant as long as the run/ runner are entertaining

Those are just badly programmed, that's what makes them unpleasant to listen to. The one Moatman posted would be a whatever waltz in played on a piano. Urban Yeti is more this:

Recommendation for next year's Awful Block: only play terrible video game music on the stream between games.

Yes, the various mythologies clashing is sacrosanct in a world where God of War, Bayonetta, Athena, NES Bible Adventures, Peaches running Catechumen and various others have all shown up in GDQ over the years. :thunk:

i'd worry less about the audience and more about the platform/advertisers saying literally killing god and hailing satan is over the line but i'd agree it's a pretty small risk. the maximum edgelord element of SMT games doesn't really come through in a speedrun because the story isn't the point and half the time you are glitching past it anyway.

I suggest really out of place music in games for this. Like this Star Ocean 3 boss theme that plays in the revenge boss fight against the guy who killed a love one.

This poo poo sounds like the music for wacky villains in a 3DS era pokemon game. But with obnoxious lyrics.

Don't look at me!



There was a set of DJ samples that got used A LOT in Japanese games of that era, from in-game BGMs to music in trailers. You'll hear those same lyrics in a handful of DDR songs.

This is a fantastic suggestion and the first song on the playlist needs to be that Star Ocean 3 song.

Play slightly shittier versions of regular tracks and see how long it takes people to catch on, like the GBA versions of the ffvi soundtrack.

LPer KFJ donated a keyblade he got at a fair to the event once. I imagine UraniumAnchor knows more on how to donate.

And the multiple derails about Uber/Lyft

I don't know want it is about the Jak games that encourages the goofy stoner runners but I like it

Yeah, I've done it once a couple years back. Check this link, though it is still for the current AGDQ but still relevant as to how to submit your prize donation: https://gamesdonequick.com/prize-guide

Thanks for this! I was looking for a page like this, but must have overlooked it on the main site.

If your prize(s) get picked, are you responsible for shipping costs to get the items to them? I imagine you are, but I'm just trying to make sure I understand everything going in so there's no surprises.
