Did speedrunning peak here? Every GDQ since AGDQ 2013 has been worse and worse.
>>
>>321236664
is that the one where that girl cries about something mid-run?
>>
>>321236664
yes, just like video games in general

whenever women start crawling their way into our hobbies they turn to shit
>>
>>321236778
I don't think it's that run but oh man that was cringy, she even asks the runner to stop mid run so she can tell her story nobody gives a fuck about.
>>
The last one was really entertaining though. The autist crash run, the guy who kept getting fucked by the game in Sands of Time, the pokemon run, the black guy who ran mario, good times.
>>
I don't know I've never watched one.

Yeah, same girl, she's actually girlfriend of that guy in Link's costume

>>321237698
why the fuck would she do that? attention whoreing only or what?
>>
Is Chibi our boy?
>>
>>321237885
yup, thousands of people watch, and she wanted to put the whole event on pause so everyone could hear her sob story
>>
>>321236969
Fuck, was that the bitch who heard someone say a single word and got all buttmad? Bitch get off your soapbox.

>>321236664
Yeah, probably. 2013-2014 was Speedrunning peak, it really fell apart because of lost interest, good runners retiring, Uyama/GDQ staff corruption and nazi-ism, and weird shit like Cosmo.

Speedrunning peaked when you discovered tool-assisted speedruns and realized you could watch those without having to listen to some autist talk about the game.
>>
>>321237698

You shouldn't lie on the internet.
>>
>>321238257
I thought she was telling the guy between them to stop. Either way she is annoying as fuck.

She became an event manager. Srs.

This. The last one was just as great, if not better.

If you didn't think Big John was the most bro-ass runner there you can get the fuck out.

I get that it must suck to have cancer run in your family, but to totally kill the mood like that while everyone is doing/watching something they enjoy, its just a bitch thing to do.

It's like singing happy birthday at a 6 year olds part and then stopping everyone just to tell them that their dog just got ran over.

There is nothing more autistic than keyboard stepmania players.

The only thing giving DDR a semblance of difficulty is the fact that you have to actually move your ass. When you play it on keyboard, you're just telling the world that you're a casual too stupid to get good at something like IIDX so you have to stick to a 4 button game.

How many hours of my life have I wasted playing this fucking piece of shit goddamn game? Just so I can get world records and feel good about myself. It's a fucking joke.

That's the only reason people speedrun, really - so they can like get a world record. No one who speedruns is a fuckin' millionaire. Y'know, fuckin' hot bitches and doing actually important things in life. Everyone who speedruns is a degenerate, and getting world record is the only way they can feel good about themselves. And like how many fuckin' hours of my life have I wasted doing that bullshit? It's so stupid. It's fucking pathetic. All I fuckin' do is waste my life away trying to get world records for a temporary goddamn high which will last, fuckin.. y'know, a week or so. Until it goes away, and Ace exposes me for the world record SHITTER I am. Fucking hell dude. It's a complete joke.

Speedrunning is the most degenerate act man has ever come up with. Well, it's fucking true. It's fucking true. The only reason we speedrun is 'cause we're too pathetic to accomplish anything else decent in life. So we fuckin' speedrun, 'cause it gives us this temporary feeling of like "oh my god, I'm good, I'm the best in the world at this thing.. that like hardly anyone else does." That's all it is. Really. We're all a fucking joke.

We masquerade around AGDQ like "haha, we're so cool making a million dollars for cancer, aren't we fuckin' special!" Nah, we're just a fuckin pile of goddamn losers. That's all we are. It's ridiculous. People thinking speedrunning is cool is the biggest goddamn meme on the planet. I'm telling the truth, let's be real. Everyone knows it. People are just too afraid to say it.

It's the absolute truth. It really is. And we can pretend "we're partners on twitch, we make entertainment, we make money" ... At the end of the day it's the truth. You know. I just exposed all of speedrunning. It's a thing we do to waste time to feel good about ourselves. That's it.

These losers think happiness is a result of success but really it's the other way around. In the real world, these people are typically nobodies but here, they experienced some final days of Rome shit and started partying and having orgies. Since their happiness ended up putting their failures in the cold, bleak light of reality, you can see they're just depressed slaves to the only thing they're good at, which happens to also be useless talents.

As a speedrunner who's actually gone to AGDQ over the past few years, the biggest issue with the stream is that it's boring and held back by all these arbitrary rules. People can't just kick back, crack jokes, inform the audience about what's happening in the current run, and say whatever they want to, 'cause folks are easily offended, and losing the future 'donations' of one or two people is the most terrifying thing to the organizers. So the stream is now essentially sterilized and neutered, and as a result, is absolutely dreadful.

If you want fun at AGDQ, you actually have to be there. The atmosphere in the practice rooms and places where runners gather and shoot the shit is exactly what you'd want from the actual AGDQ stream. Frankly, it's the only reason to go anymore: to meet up with friends/fellow runners, bullshit for a few days, and then go back to our mediocre existences trying to milk Twitch and viewers for money to justify our out of control OCD.

Do yourselves a favor and just stop watching AGDQ/SGDQ. Spread the word. Let it die quietly. Other events will take its place eventually. Nothing's ever going to change, so best to let it die.

Speedrunning went downhill as soon as partnered streams became a thing in general. Everyone started digging for the money. There are so few runners left who are in it because they actually like it...

Understreams are ding dong bannu because they steal precious bandwith from *GDQ.

Also I will be skipping out on AGDQ almost entrely, their shit has become boring and unfun to watch. I am sick and tired of hearing every moment of air time filled with messages about "hoipe" "greetings from" "my uncle twice removed got a breast exam and mastectomy" and there's no no couch banter anymore.

I'd rather watch old VODs and donate to local food banks instead.

Because they're doing it for vanity instead of actually believing in the cause. Also doesn't help that the charity is a complete scam.

The events just suck now. The whole fun of AGDQ was watching a bunch of turbonerds meet up and shoot the shit while destroying a bunch of games. That's it. I couldn't care less if the guy gets a good time or not really, which extends to most people watching.

Having a super boring, quiet, tame stream where they don't even read funny donations anymore is terrible. It's all about the money.
>>
>>321248776
actually AGDQ got so big they had to separate the audience section from the coach section, theres literally hundreds of people there
>>
Can anyone find the video of Werster yelling nigger for a donation at a GDQ event? Cause I know it happend but I can't google it.

Imagine trying to get away with that nowadays should go to how how sterile and boring this will be. I wouldn't doubt that next event runners will have to sign contracts where any violations that could lead to donations will wind up with fees and penalties.

Speedrunner here, what you see on the actual twitch stream fucking sucks most of the time. Occasionally there's an interesting game, but most of the time it's the same old shit. They haven't even implemented all that many "no fun allowed" rules, it's just that the atmosphere has changed so much since earlier marathons, it's a lot more serious now.

All the cool shit happens off stream. Remember the bonus stream they used to do after the marathon and how fun that was? That's basically what happens off-stream 24/7. Almost every single person I know who goes to GDQs just says fuck the stream room, outside of a few runs, and only goes for the meetups.

Pic related is the /srg/ meetup from SGDQ2015.

Contrary to popular belief, speedrunning only makes you good at a certain small set of games you memorize the fuck out of, but not good at games in general, especially at new and unfamiliar games.

This is why specializing in videogames is fucking retarded and these autistic kids need to get real jobs instead of being Twitch whores.

He went live a couple of times a few weeks ago, with a master system sonic game. They were top tier streams, I wish he would come back more consistently.

while I don't really give a shit about streamers like broman trihex and caleb, I do agree with the general sentiment. Watching speedruns is totally shitty now. Siglemic is long gone and the top tier mario runners now are a bunch of memelords.

i want to be narcissa's little baby tampon boy. i want to turn into a little crying baby and then suck on her breasts. her magic breast milk would turn me into a little baby tampon boy. she would stick me in her hoo-hoo and i would wait with anticipation spouting little baby goo-goo ga-gas waiting for her to bleed all over me. i want to feel her narcissa blood inside my little goo-goo ga-ga baby tampon body. i want to absorb her hoo-hoo juies inside my little baby tampon boy body and goo-goo ga-ga like a little rolly-polly baby boy. it would be orgasmic to know i am one with her hoo-hoo narcissa blood and i would giggle and goo-goo ga-ga and yelp with little baby boy excitement as i roll around in her narcissa hoo-hoo and revel in her red juices, slurping them into my soft little baby tampon boy goo-goo ga-ga body. then i want her to pull me out and squeeze and wring my little baby tampon boy body so that her narcissa hoo-hoo blood and juices spill all over her narcissa face. it would hurt and i would scream in pained goo-goo ga-gas as pain envelops my little baby tampon boy body until i reach full climax and turn back into grown human man.

I guess the angle they're going for is that, although he's not playing the game fast in the sense that he's finishing it quickly, he's playin git fast in the sense that the notes are really fucking fast. I think that's stupid though.

>>321261253
You can at least speed up the TGM games, the guy who was running it even said that the game had some internal timer and that if he was playing at a certain speed since slowing down meant he couldn't qualify for GM or something. Stepmania is all autoscrolling as far as I know. I'm pretty sure you can even speed up shmups more by taking out bosses faster and trying not to tank the framerate.

Cancer runs in a fuckton of families runs on my mom's side. It's pretty much a dice that you'll get it plus "50 percent chance I will die of cancer." 1. No that is the most bullshit number pull I've ever heard. 2. You can die of a lot of fucking things saying cancer is going to kill you a dumb mentality. 3. They literally have like 4 hours every single marathon where people can swap stories why would you not save it for that.
