lol, I definitely do not envy what the tech team has been tasked with coordinating in this whole thing. Can't help but feel all the extra interviews and ad breaks was maybe to allow for some cushions in anticipation of this stuff

this game is becoming more totally broken by the minute lol, and she's even missed at least one thing that would break it further

a good way to get into speedrunning is a finding a game with no submitted runs, beating it at a casual pace, and becoming a de facto world record holder

You could also run a game with an unusual controller like the donkey kong bongos. Im sure you could find some success in any game doing that

MonotoneTim did an Ocarina of Time run with an actual Ocarina, he should submit that

if it was everybody playing against each other at once I'd like to see the items, loses some of the fun when it's the CPU using it because the speedrunner never gets anything good

Pretty clear, turning the cursor into a concept of itself that can be manipulated by the level itself which was turned into the protagonist allows you to defeat the world mapand unlock a nested level of sub world maps in which the levels themselves are levels and also functions of a meta puzzle that is the world which is actually multiple puzzles

From there it gets a bit more complicated

At first I wanted to play this but then it broke my mind but then the dev dropped 10k so uh what?

It's a great game, you should definitely play it. You'll never oscillate more rapidly between feeling like the dumbest idiot to ever exist and the king of geniuses and back

The pacing you just saw is....not indicative of a normal gameplay experience even by the standards of a speedrun

Yep! Both it and a short hike from a bit ago are in there, most here probably already own it

That almost feels surprising - I figured there would be more people free to watch (work from home folk at the least) - but I guess the change in format turned some people off.

if I had to guess it's because the streamers who would normally be taking the week off to attend are all streaming instead and people aren't as glued to it for as long

I always feel like those huge goals that are rapidly approaching will never be hit, then they do, but it really feels like 400k for Minecraft may be a bit high even with all the sub/bit/yetee stuff being added soon

I liked swish and am glad that the final evening isnt a 10 hour block of 20 minute platformers

Death Stranding is down to around 6 hours apparently, they should've ended it with that with the couch dedicated to explaining the lore. Donation train is every time you get confused you donate 5 bucks

I think Souls like games are massively overrated and not fun to play or watch but I had the presence of mind to not whine about it and just did something else instead. It's a good strategy I highly recommend it

You're free to say you weren't happy with whatever game, what I dont get is why I should care or what it has to do with anything in a GDQ thread. Who cares, yell about it in the pokemon thread or whatever

Borsche69 posted:

Alright if you want to make it speedrun specific then I'll give you this: pokemon runs are awful because they're long as hell and they are way too RNG based and have very little execution involved. The current runner had to reset because he didn't get a drilbur after like 6 attempts on a quickball/duskball! A comparison would be the Twilight Princess run, which was long as hell, but the runner always has to execute multiple very interesting tricks and game breaking sequences. Yeah, R/B has some cool tricks, but that's also a solved run - something like sword/shield should be a 4AM tuesday run.

I agree, tho I think the flaw with this one in particular is that it just uses like 3 pokemon in total. Ending with the glorious clusterfuck of a gen 1 all 151 run is better imho. Way crazier and lots more money to raise

"Playing the game like normal but really good" is hard to makecompelling, like racing and brawler games. Gotta punch it up with lots of craziness
