It's what they did last ESA too, pads out the runtime and makes the announcers feel big.

Sly 2 waiting room.

finally have a use for this

Sigh is there gonna be another interesting run today

Didn't BigJon have like three approved runs? Did he back out?

>>713900439

That is probably how the entire event is going to be, very mediocre

>>713900832
He tries to fundraise but never meets his goals. His dad also passed away recently.

1500 viewers is genuinely grim. This isn't doomposting or concernposting or whatever the fuck. Thats genuinely grim for an event that got 10k - 15k last year. Thats a 90% drop

>>713900753

Slop posters fuming

>>713900917
Nah last year they had around 3k to 5k, maybe 7k max

Metaphor is split into two parts and on seperate days. Haven't seen that since FF9 in old GDQ

>>713900730
Well it's either that or just music each intermission which people also complained about. I don't really care for either honestly
>>713900917
Will be more in th evening but it's low for sure. Viewership is plummeting in speedrunning in general, lack of interest

>>713901114
last year they had 0 viewers...

>>713900736

esa is still alive? I thought the whole organization fell apart or something

>>713900980

>>713901351
I wonder if they'll be able to downsize and adjust to being a small scale marathon again if it doesn't bounce back or if they'll just pull the plug entirely.

I genuinely think the biggest issue is the 24/hour runs streams. You just can never tell that ESA is on. No notification or nothing. GDQ now only come up when something is going on, it really helps.

Not with Sweden prices they'd have to go elsewhere. The thing is now there's so many other Euro events, UKSG, NSG, BSG etc. and they took all the big names and most of the crew.

>>713901563

well it's not really their fault if the swedish internet provider shits the bed with poor bandwidth all sudden

>>713900917
It's because most of /v/ are viewing via streamlink which doesn't show up in the viewer count. The real number is somewhere around 20k.

BREAKING NEWS: Iran has just nuked Malmo

At least NSG had funny issues like the fire alarm going off in the middle of a run.

Is there a setting so just keep it open anyway in case it restarts

It's not funny! STOP LAUGHING! This is Plum's big event!

>>713902174
shoutouts to the tech person, for there can't be more than one... if any...

I hate console shooter speedruns

Thank god it's over. no more speedruns

The first day of all speedrun marathons is slow and buggy. It is known.

At least this time it can't be Riekelt's fault.

>>713902663
They basically did a fake out killing it end video the last time in an attempt for sympathy, and then put it on a hiatus till they felt like people might forget how the fucked shit up.

i have genuinely believed for a few years now that doing a few of these every year has massively devalued them. they were always generally second monitor material and now everyone has seem them a million times.

>>713903073
Nothing needs to be said, Pete.

>>713902534
fug you're right

>>713903135
Thats pretty much the reason why speedrunning in general has passed as a fad or attraction to casual audiences. Only those into speedrunning watch now. The novelty is over. Its why these events chase meme runs like GDQ and their "A HECKIN DOGGO JUST DID A SPEEDRUN!!" and DDR shit.

Y'all just hating on women.

>chat is individual users greeting each other
it's so fucking over

Don't ask the donation reader with 12 concurrent viewers if he has donations to read

this is boring

>Reminder

>>713903135
yeah, novelty has worn off and doing metroid every year for that +1s improvement is really fucking boring
to me the most interesting parts are new games or exploits that make the games either play differently than before or way faster

>>713903237
I've also thought that they should do exhibition runs more but most of the non-speedrunning content they do is absolutely unbearable and bewildering.

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE

Ok, I'm done.

>>713902786
Then did the classic "See we brought back 24 hours and stream 2, we're LISTENING and making changes" while still having the same internal problems and stuff Edenal really insisted on like the graphics and sound effects.

yeah just opened stream
>Halo run
>troon

can we expect any sick runs this esa?

>>713903783
>and an entire fucking marathon
Oh I know, I just enjoy watching GTA :c)
Too bad it's hard to get a run in a "major" marathon anymore unless you're Josh or Ben. I would be fine if someone drove s to Stockholm or wherever this is and watch him autist IG 100% on stream 2 or 3. Or just have any number of the other runners that don't have thousands of streamers.

g-guys don't worry every ESA starts like ass
we just have to wait 3 days for them to get their shit together and for there to be 2 or 3 actually good runs, then we can post about how we're so back

>>713903940

>>713903868
>I guess he's easing out of ESA?
He kind of was even before the massive shitstorm, he stopped being on staff there some years back and seemed happier for it.

>>713904016
I don't know

>>713903868
After the controversy there have been quite a few people forwardly outspoken against ESA and the management.

"Hey guys we're speedrunning alicedilation%"

why is piratesoftware running halo and calling himself a she/her?

>>713904472
Stayvun..

IYKYK

>>713903868
He was at GDQ with some of the GTA gang. Safe to say a 50% GTA staff at ESA pretty much bailed on ESA fully.

AGDQ this year was fun af with /v/
just remember being at my gf's place, ATroonDQ on TV and shitposting and gaymin from laptop

>>713904565
what does your gf think of you watching this nerd shit?

>>713904662
those actually exist?
how many of those accursed speedrunners are there to even consider all of these events, it's spreading like some kind of disease

so ESA had it's soul surgically removed didn't it?

>>713904817

every 6 months we doompost on the first day and then after the week is over we agree is was average

>>713904609
No....AND HERE'S WHY THAT'S A GOOD THING

>>713904869
Plum is on a shoestring budget anon

>>713904839
BSG is in Benelux
NSG is in Norway
UKSG is in Scotland

They're all much smaller, cozier events and arent run by tards.

Just noticed tompa is there. Event is blessed after all.

>>713904893
You think you can trick me? Huh? You stupid bitch?

>>713904947
any example runs?

>>713904949
>Event is blessed after all.
inb4 lumilaura shows up in his fursuit again

>>713904819
she doesnt care, she's used to me having shit running in the background like movies/music/streams/yt
in fact we had a blast one night making fun of trannies and rating how shitty their "female" voice was

>>713904869
Pretty much, they really leaned on this idea that ESA was this culturally significant, most important marathon in Europe, meanwhile most of the reoccurring volunteers and runners swore off it and just kept going to the other marathons instead.

Had it happened in America with GDQ it might have been different but ESA really didn't have the stranglehold that Planks and Edenal think it has.

Time to start cranking out some Plums.
It's Summer so lets start with a swimsuit one.
What type? Sukumizu and Micro already covered.

How many viewers did esa used to get?

>>713905119

>not even $2000 yet

>>713905393
What was he thinking in this moment?

>>713904419
we are so back

>>713905393
I wouldn't say you've been missing it

>>713904947
>They're all much smaller, cozier events and arent run by tards.
Doubt. Maybe those aren't run by tards, but the people running and attending are not much different than on any larger event, and the rules are more or less the same - or they wll be, as soon as they grow in viewership.

The really good events are Dogwater, Jankuary and other smaller events. The stuff in >>713904662 is just ESA - Electric Boogaloo. In b4 NWSF, please don't.

>>713905119
post esa death 2024 ptsd plum

Competition swimsuit with a high waist cut

This speedrun really puts into perspective how much of a shitfest Halo Infinite was. It's so broken yet so boring compared to previous entries.

>>713905708
Plenty of Pete including a race too, also that last run looks like it's going to be an entertaining clusterfuck of a thing that usually pisses anons off.

>>713905119
Her broom is a surfboard and she has some neat sunshades

>i'm going to quit

It's so hot here, I can't get comfy

are they going to hit any goal with such an anemic view count?

This sounds like the best to start off with. so I'll do this one.
Hoping to do multiple Swimsuit Plums though.

>ufo 50 speedrun later this week
I forgot i wanted to play this. Is it good?

>streamlink just werks with zero ads
It took browser ad blockers being btfo for me to finally hop on the mpv train...

>>713907134
Some of the games are pretty awesome, some are kind of dull.

Every runner is getting an interview now? They look so unprepared and can't come up with something interesting to say

>>713903940
Yes for Rubie, but Keizaron is skipping another GDQ. He's still getting over getting cucked by Ryuk from Dearth Note

>>713907229
honestly surprised Keizaron hasn't trooned yet

>>713907229
>Keizaron is skipping another GDQ

Not liking the addition of super long talking segments after every run. I preferred just music and ads for the intermissions.

Sup what did I miss so far? How is it?

>Playstation nation
I hate this term like you wouldn't belive

>>713907386

>tompa
It's always nice to see him again.

>>713907386
I don't mind these, but i really hate alzheimer fonden segment.

He's so small

ESA's best days are behind it, unfortunately. GDQ is still alive but even that money laundering has been watered own.

>>713907472
>me already sketching the coconut on her hand
Great minds think alike, eh

>>713904839
Yes and they get threads but they're pretty dead.
I watched UKSG with /v/ and it averaged around 2000 - 5000 viewers depending on the game. That means UKSG has now beaten ESA.

>>713907616
I can't remember those, are they new

>>713906193
Are there any updates on that whole situation? I haven't heard anything since the last AGDQ thread.

I like how it puts up the incentives that are who knows how long away but not what fucking game is next

>>713905503
>>713904947
My fave small scale speedrun event is ASM.

what a leathery milf

Nice haircut, dumbass dyke

GILF

she looks like she has massive milkers bros

>>713907659
Speedrunning as a big thing is dead. It no longer attracts those outside the community, which itself has been infested.

>>713907703
New what?

which one of you did this

>>713907767
No, nothing's really changed, they just ducked down for a bit in the hopes it would blow over.

Edenal and Planks are still in charge, the schedule is about as bleak as it was last ESA, most of the regulars are still gone.

>>713907878
The uh...the purple links

>>713907659
There's definitely potential for a resurgence but there's no way to tell when

>>713907659
I'm ready for all tourists to fuck off so we're left with only people actually interested in speedrunning. I'm glad viewerships are tanking across the board. Go away normalfags.

A WHOLE 5%!

>>713907380
Keizaron is fired from GDQ, because of the shit he did with his girlfriend emray.
Immediately after he started dating rubie.
Think he's just salty still :p

>>713907876
speedrunning seems super fucked long term, not only because of the novelty wearing off but because people who grew up on gaming in the last 10 years most likely played shit like minecraft, fortnite and roblox for most of their gaming lives

>>713907876
It's more like the same as esports it was inevitably going to be killed by ecelebs when people realized they could watch someone play video games without extra steps.

>>713908105
>dating rubie

>>713907985
Well, at least it hasn't gotten worse....

>Logitech in current year

don't fall for it, their QA is garbage now, they don't manufacture stuff in China anymore

>>713908105
What?

did you guys see that Fast 51 was announced (and he also poked fun at coolmatty for being a dumbass who tried to slander him as a racist)

Didn't realize this segment was 30 minutes long.

>>713907659
>>713908012
I think the era of the huge, successful as fuck marathon is ending, and I'm fine with it really, I've had way more fun with stuff like BSG, ASM and Dogwater than either of ESA or GDQ in a long time.
>>713908092
This as well, shit just gets boring when it's wall to wall /pol/ children showing up to screech at it, even if it makes it funny when they're starved of anything to be mad about during stuff like BSG and ASM and nobody even bothers to take their desperate bait.

>>713908228
really i thought since his company died he wouldn't do it again

>>713908273
Yeah, the segments between runs have all been this long so far, it's been bad.

IT'S HIM

why this nigga always smiling

>>713908314
Whats cool about the smaller run threads is they're dying a lot less and sustaining over a longer time. Also a lot less thread bickering.

Also have we had our annual tourist coming in going

where's my Sly decomp pc port...

>>713908807
I hope we see him next month.

>>713908314
It's just ESA and GDQ don't realize that its over and still demand preposterous amounts

oh boy I missed the event, was it good? are we back?

>>713908921
What do you mean? The PS5 came out 20 years ago

>>713909017
s'aight

>>713908603

>>713908842

>>713908784
Tim's life is attached to ESA. Once ESA dies, he dies. He's getting visibly weaker as ESA is getting weaker.

>>713909017
First day, it's okay so far. I hope the co-op run up next will be good.

Does anybody have a png of the ESA SUMMER logo handy? Want to add it to the Plum drawing

>>713908842

>>713909017
It's fine. Don't ask bout ad blockers

>>713909109
Sending positive vibes.

TinyTim doesn't sound his best

muh nips

>>713909017
Day started real strong but it's mostly just mid right now. It happens

>>713908842
Tim just genuinely loves games and running them, even when they're games that he doesn't play or run.

His streams are pretty cool, dude even does one on the history of MTG from the 80s and 90s.

oh shit, thought this was supposed to start 45 minutes ago, didn't know i'd already missed like 6 hours.

how does the comeback feel so far? corporatized gdq-lite slop or some semblance of old-esa?

>>713909278
He's got pretty bad heart problems. He had to skip a ton of events last year because he was in hospital or his heart couldn't take it. He managed to make it to UKSG this year as it's local but ESA is his first overseas one I think. It's not looking good..

>>713909297
>tags: size_difference

>>713909109
is he like one with the machine?

I love tinytim but wtf is this run? Just a random ass episode from sly 2?

I'm going to bed. Give this'n a T for me

We're at 1700 viewers, the highest viewers so far.

>>713909585
as long as steam 1 is 24 hours and we have stream 2 back, i'd call that a win at least

>>713909469
Yeah, apparently because it has a decent route and shows off most things, but it's such a literal who category that it doesn't have a tab on speedrun.com
Tim is just there for moral support, since the runner asked him. Maybe he is more nervous on the inside, but he doesn't give off the vibe.

>>713909664
It's slowly creeping up as people remember its actually on

>>713909469
I guess. I didn't look at the details and thought it was a full run, now I'm a bit disappointed. Still good though.

>>713909585
Schedule is pretty mediocre though so 24 hours of mostly shit.

>>713909664
first day of these things always start a little slow since people don't always know when it's starting, especially since this is like a month earlier than they've usually done summer esa

what has ESA been peaking at in the past anyway? seems like in recent years, GDQ will top out at like 60k, does ESA normally even crack 10k?

>>713909896
please no

>>713909082
Thanks to Ui getting made fun of on the internet I realized the reason I can now only use a handful of video game controllers without kwabbing my right wrist is because the shoulder I broke the clavicle on rests more hunched inward now. All the emphasis they put on getting mobility back but the effect of having the arm strapped across the front for weeks never came up.

What if there was a BigTim?

>get furloughed from work
>just in time for ESA and SGDQ

after all of these years it's finally happened, time to enjoy the degen life

BADASS 2 NEXT

>>713909919
Some random site I found said '20 and '21 peaked at 21k but averaged 5k

>>713909702
Yeah apparently Tim does that, you ask him to couch your run he'll just do it even if he doesn't know the game. He's the ultimate hype man he'll act like its the best run ever.

>>713910014
That's when he combines with Bigjon.

Huh, as a matter of fact, I don't. First time I've seen the levels tab, since I usually just check 100 or any %.

>>713909919
ESA is absolutely dogshit at notifying people when it starts. The 24 hour stream thing needs to go. Also they were dumb and put the wrong date on their website.

>>713910103
kekw

>>713910101
Covid lockdowns really fucked up everything.

>we're doing really really well
Tim...

How high can tinytim's voice possibly go?

>>713909469
Episode runs used to be 2 hours. The ps5 version finally allows cut scene skip but all the categories are already split by episode

>>713910263
Can you poo in the loo

>>713909919
ESA averages around 5k, however they'll have a single run that will burst them up to 20k - 30k, usually a big meme run like stepmania or $20% or whatever. The big drop started last year where the average dropped down to 1k, and it looks like this year the average will be 1k too.

>>713910397

While 24 is great, I get fomo. After this run, I won't be able to watch for another 20 or so hours..

I never got around to uploading all those ESA runs that they deleted...

>>713910380

it used to be in a place that was more apparent a few years ago but of course they had to change everything & add more bloat.

I can't recall when I last watched a non-race, non-randomizer run of an older pokemon game. I might tune in just for the novelty.

>>713910624
Wanna know something kinda funny, ever since that incident GDQ now takes 100% of all Twitch donations to "pay off hotel fees" years later. It was just a sneaky excuse for them to swipe more cash.

>>713908868

Wait not even the ape escape dude is there?

>>713910676

>>713910156
Are you retarded? You think im gonna go in to speedrun.com for all the runs to check the details of the categories?

Also why the hell is estimate 35 min when world record is 40:24?

>>713910628
>>713910762
Remember that one schizo anon that kept saying Metako was behind all the big changes and was staging a coup

Can you try that again in English?

>>713910853
Mother of god is that..

>>713910804
Seems like a bot.

Im watching this in the midst of a turning 30 exestential dread, terrible midlife crisis episode. Im wondering how these people who speedrun find so much fulfillment playing these games over and over. I know it's autism, but besides that what do they have that I dont? How do I find something so fulfilling?

uhhh just one episode?

>already done
damn was gonna slop a carmelita image getting glazed

>>713910576
I meant how the ESA stream is up 24/7, not the event being 24 hours. When there's not an event on they just show archived runs

>>713910887
He was about a few threads back, still thinks he's talking to Metako in the threads.

>>713910887
wdym "remember", he's lurking in this thread. Now that Metako's been mentioned he'll probably sperg out. He has a personal vendetta against the bald man for some reason, maybe he ignored his twitch chat donation message or something kek.

>>713910887
yes, honestly surprised he hasn't responded to my post yet

>>713910692
twitch added a 100hr highlight limit to all channels in may. I wonder how much was lost from all that. luckily you got to upload gamepro's crash 2 run last year

>>713910934
You pretend. Like everyone else

>>713910934
I'm turning 32 this year, you'll be fine. It may seem like a big deal but nothing really changes from 29 to 30, anon

Hello everynyan.

>>713910934
Don't think too much about it, you just don't have any passion or hobby. No, casually playing AAA vidya is not a hobby.

They never grew up. I share some of the same qualities after all. I still play vidya, I still post here, but I also have a family and a stable job.

>>713911114

>>713911005
Do regular videos count as highlights? I think they adjusted the rules for what gets pruned, but yeah luckily I grabbed them. Wonder if they're still up on the channel.

>Im wondering how these people who speedrun find so much fulfillment playing these games over and over.

who says they're fulfilled by it? half of these people have a real job and speedrunning is just some side thing they won't be doing three years from now. the rest of them are NEET and stream to 7 viewers outside of the marathon, probably have a fight with their parents once a month about when they're gonna get a real job. this shit is the highlight of the year for a lot of these people so of course they're happy on stream, don't assume they're like that the other 50 weeks out of the year

>>713910692
I guess I could upload smaller ones. I thought lordmau5 came into the thread and said he was gonna upload his vids but I don't see 'em.

Oh shit! I think some got pruned from twitch too. Now I'm really glad I had the foresight to grab all these. Remember to grab any vods that are still up if you want 'em (if any are even left now).

It's not the number that scares me, but when youre before 30 youre less likely to die or randomly get cancer. When youre on the other side of 30... thats when life starts to throw you nasty curveballs. 30 something year old people die all the time, its much more rare to hear about 18 year old kids dying or 20 year old kids getting some disease.

more like the GAYSTATION nation

>How do I find something so fulfilling?

>Yes
Do that, and do it more often, and do it to a higher level than you currently are. If you can enjoy just doing that, you're sorted.
>No
Find something new

In the context of speedrunning, sometimes people only spend a portion of time practicing a run. Once it's down comfortably, they probably stop running it unless they want to unrust for an event, or want to go for a higher record. I've been to ESA and a lot of the people there are actually pretty fulfilled and sociable people, this is just a part of themselves that they wear on their sleeves while you see them on camera because, guess what, it's a marathon about speedrunning.

>>713911552
Tumor weeks.

>Tim sounding so frail
How long do you give him?

>>713910934
If you're hit by midlife crisis type feelings you're better off giving up video games and chasing normaldom 2bh. If it doesn't just pass you by because you're not of that world then you're likely not spergecore enough.

>>713911485
by chance do you have a backup of old gdq stuff too? theres a particular crash or jak run thats been pruned entirely and the full run hasnt been reposted anywhere
involved a lot of intentionally killing yourself

>>713911481
yeah but I have all that too but without the once a year highlight.. I have no hobbies anymore

>I'll never understand this
because you have aspergers. yes, you're getting older every day and there's nothing really different between being 30 years old and being 29 +364days old. for most people, your age starting with a new number is a checkpoint where you evaluate your life and how you expected it to go. when you're like 18 or 20, a lot of people assume by 30 they'll have a steady career, a wife or at least a long term gf, etc. so when you hit 30 and realize you don't have any of that and are instead just a fucking loser, it hits harder than just being a 28 year old loser
