they acknowledged they messed up with the most recent sgdq and were going to set things more reasonably, and overall this event has not had more incentives missed then typical gdqs have in the past,

i mean they had to extend that resident evil bonus game and at least a couple I'm guessing only squeaked by because that one anon person was dumping 5k at a time on em

you make some fair points

i imagine the slower donation rate is also messing things up, yesterday they were 300k below where they were at the same point in the last agdq.

Part of the must-watch-ness of that run was that the runner was incredibly charismatic so you felt really bad for him suffering all these ridiculous disasters, which is... Not quite the case for the current runner. Hopefully it's smooth!

It's actually been pretty impressive that they keep bouncing back and forth between who has the lead. Races are fun but most of the time someone takes the lead and keeps it for most of the run, here it feels much more fluid.

How I wish Konami was looking and did some kind of modern 2D Castlevania...

It's great how these guys are so close to each other after half an hour.

i mentioned it already but i want a callisto SGDQ run, it's such a loving hilarious game to see broken. you can legit bully the game's first boss encounter into falling off a ledge by just dodging around him a bit

it feels like prime awful block material, but i guess it depends on if they've found any actual movement tech etc. or if the entire run is literally just you lazily bumbling through the wonderworld nightmare

have a good 3d platformer before it leading into balan wonderworld as the first game in awful block, with a donation incentive to watch all the dances

While I’m not a fan, Sonic Frontiers is shaping up to be a wild speedrun. I mean Breath of the Wild + Sonic Jank made that a likely possibility.

i could see system purge at a gdq, it's not a game with a ton of tech but it is definitely optimizeable

the real question is will we have a Trombone Champ exhibition

you can't have silly games block without trombone champ i think

a bummer that mani has gotten more behind but ed's run is fluid as hell

People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
i've ran trombone champ any% but the issue with it is that it's like an hour long and involves playing Taps like 50 times. trombone champ is funny but it's not "one hour" funny.

balan is a good run on its face and I could easily see that getting in with just a regular any% submission. there's goofy movement tech and silly strats that involve a heavy amount of barely playing the game normally

two different women came forward with accusations against him, this was when metoo still existed and some other speedrunners also got outed as sex pests at around the same time (witwix prolly being the most notable)

in the wake of that movement outing several speedrunners for being sex pests some other guys in the community did charity fundraisers for rainn so at least that was nice
