It's true

>>715981362 (OP)
Is this multiworld thing running on archipelago? It always sounded cool to me but I don't wanna play on discord. Are there ever any efforts to play on 4chan

migged

Last mig in weeks

Additional events:
>July 25th-27th 1545 relay
>August 1st-3rd Final Fantasy relay

>>715981479
It is, yeah, they're just doing with a ton of them.

This is unwatchable

this run is dogwater

I thought he said they did a "kid swap", not a "kit swap".

I'm too lazy to make a webm out of this but I'm watching this vod right now and I kekd at their faces after the "trans rights" dono.

Nice.

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
YO
BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP

the dark souls runner has been choking hard for the past 30 minutes

The post Marathon Marathon blues are going to hit extraordinarily hard this year.

>>715981708
Flaviochads reign supreme

>>715981748
when is it?
The threads won't be able to top winter 2024

F to ASM

>>715981823
I don't know I'm pretty burnt out this time, watching GDQ drained some of my soul

>>715981853

*migs*

>>715981619
>Big Bad Game-A-Thon
Sweet.

Anyone here know how to make Rock of Ages actually work on modern computers?

>>715981479
The megaman general on /vg/ does Telemelts which is basically letting other people take control of the emulator. You'd probably have to set up an archipelago on /vm/ and advertise it

>>715981823
only three weeks of lonely empty misery until RTA and BSG

>tfw just Dogwater in the title now
The three week mararthon really is ending...

>the runner is a weeaboo

>>715978335
It was funny seeing nobody buy the Goosebert shirts, to the John Speedrun meme's credit, people were buying those shirts at least.

>>715982295
Has to end eventually, and ASM plus Dogwater are a good way to go out.

>>715978000
Yo... haha

>>715982416
All of their shirts were shit this year anyway, fuck knows who they got to do them because it sure wasn't Mako.

>Not having the main stream on Atlantica

>>715981748
perhaps if you don't understand japanese

>>715981619
EVO will have threads too. The side event streams are usually pretty comfy, ignore the main events

>>715983897
Do they still get unhinged smash fans who can't grasp why nobody wants to go anywhere near that shit at proper events?

>>715981940
Yeah it felt like GDQ was the wall for a lot of us but was expected

WE DID IT

>Autistic Avenger
You are the real superhero.

>we met our goal
>i'm gonna fucking kill myself
Mood, as the kids would say.

God bless you, Autistic Avenger

>>715984025
Smash will never be at EVO again and the Melee scene is generally dying

>>715981362 (OP)
You guys are really still making Speedrun threads 3 weeks after ESA and 2 after GDQ? Why?

>>715984353
Speedruns.

>>715984353
Why not? We like speedrunning

>>715984353
We've gone a bit overestimate

Never saw those guys before but it's definitely capture the OG gdq

>>715984213
I too feel that way when I can't find the fucking emerald shard because the radar is FUCKING TRASH

>>715981823
I dunno I've had my fill at this point
>>715981940
I've not been as burnt out as other years that this has happened. Maybe its how the schedule was this year? ESA first then ASM as the cleanser.

>>715984353
We're not tourists and actually enjoy watching speedruns

>>715984550
they've become a favorite over the past four years after a very accidental discovery at the end of a long string of marathons.

>>715985063
Bless those people who did the research and tuned in to such things. I tried a few smaller events that were advertised on Oengus/Horaro, and it was 100% either some streamer vanity project, or GDQ on steroids. Hard to find the occasional gem in that pile of dung.

What I've liked about these three weeks of speedrunds is that they've covered multiple different grounds of types of speedrun events so you get a bit of everything.

>ESA offered more pure run of the mill "just runs"
>GDQ offered the hatewatching, the cringekino, the carcrash, the outrage etc.
>ASM offered the comfier long runs and more relaxed low energy runs
>Dogwater offered the "bunch of friends dicking around being silly mostly trying to entertain"

ESA was also PS1 heavy, GDQ was nonrun/showcase heavy, ASM was long run heavy and Dogwater was Sonic Heavy

Maybe helped that I didn't speak English when I first played the game, but I still love these tracks. Especially when you're not constantly blasted by the beeping noise from the questionably mixed game audio.

Is wall jumping locked or does the guy running SM not know how to do it

>I wake up
>there are no more runs

I can't tell if Kevin is clicked off or if his feed is just frozen for them

>>715985598
It's one of my favorite things that different marathons have different vibes and runners with different interests, like last UKSG had a bunch of point and click adventure game runs.

>>715985978
Probably locked out, probably, I forget which SM run had inherent abilities rando'd out

>>715986037
I think he's checking the gift/hint thing.

>>715985978
Would hang out with him, he seems pretty chill.

>>715986053
Yeah you can tell who organizes the event and who attends them by the types of runs they have:
>UKSG has a lot of sonic and point and click, clearly Argick and Tim
>ESA has a lot of PS1 games particularly Spyro, clearly Playstation nation particularly LumieLaura
>ASM has a lot of JRPGs and Nintendo, clearly Syo and Werster

So what we can learn from GDQ is that Sent doesn't like speedruns as this year, his first GDQ he organized, was the most nonruns in history

All I could think of earlier with that Goofy donation.

>>715986684
jej

>watching someone try to speedrun Mario Kart World
>every single run depends on nothing except how hard the AI ass-rapes you with unavoidable items
Pretty epic

>>715986521
Same

>>715981619

Throw in RPGLimitBreak for random stuff on the weekends

>>715986579
GDQ has been slowly shifting to noruns over recent years but the GDQ = Speedruns identity is apparently set in stone, there is a clear cutoff point where people will lose interest if there aren't any speedruns as shown by the dismal viewership and criticisms this year. Going full misc. video game content will not work for the event.

>>715986579
>clearly Argick and Tim
Tim does run some point and click stuff but it's his mate Mike who's on staff I think.
>ASM has a lot of JRPGs and Nintendo, clearly Syo and Werster
and Noops and Clubwho and Chokocchi, they really are stuffed with RPG runners.

>>715986684
ZORSH

>>715985598
I thought I was sick of speedruns in general before Dogwater, but then it made room for an attitude which the other events just won't allow. ASM and ESA provided everything else, but GDQ made it clear to me there's just nothing to gain from hatewatching anymore.

>>715985978
You have vods to catch up on. Go enjoy them

>>715986684
SUIIISEXXX

IM A HEADBANGA

Who do you guys think is going to win the race?

>>715987495
It's a race? I thought it was one big co-op run with everyone's options being gated off in someone else's game

>>715987495
Not really a race, but probably not Pete, he'll catch fire and fall over or something and end up in last place.

>>715987495
Bottles will finish first since he only needs like 5 more Shine Sprites to beat the game, then maybe Hyro since I'm not sure how much Kevin has done

>>715987609
I guess technically you are right. Maybe im just too competitive

>>715986790
RPGLB is such a coin flip, either you're going to get super comfy runs with very knowledgeable runners, or you get something more cringe than GDQ that lasts for hours. Kinda dislike RPGLB due to that, because I can look forward to a run and end up getting the second option.

I know some of these guys like the metroid runner are just stuck, but how is the Sunshine runner for example still going 4½ hours in? Isn't the 100% sunshine run not even half of that?

>>715988000
They lock stuff like Nozzles, Yoshi, and being able to enter specific levels behind items

>>715988109
Alright. The guy seems to be playing with casual strats too so I guess some of the runners don't just run the games seriously.

>>715987895
That's fine for some places, but in speedruns, IMO, you can only really be competitive with yourself. It's why I look at an actual speedrun race and I think "Oh boy, two separate runs happening at the same time!" because if I don't, it's just ass.

>>715988412
Truly competitive running is the communities where you get people at odds with each other, doing their best to keep skips/glitches/tactics/whatever to themselves, makes for a pretty shit community.

It's why you get stuff like bingo races that came out of people doing it between themselves to spice shit up, and so events decided it's the next big thing to show.

>>715988412
Do you look at sprints in the olympics too and think "Oh boy, multiple separate runs happening at the same time!"?

>>715988756
No, because olympic races aren't shit from a spectators' point of view.

>>715988694
Yeah. As weird as it sounds, the competitiveness that vibes best in the speedrun world is a cooperative one, where we're all pushing each other to do our fastest

What's with the fish-eye effect on Dark Souls

>>715985598
GDQ offered the appreciate what you have because it can turn the worst thing ever.
I thought i lost the interest because I was really down before these three weeks but after watching ESA and ASM it's definitely not the case, had a lot of fun and still love to watch em after all

>>715989146
He's playing on like ultrawide screen or something and this is just what it looks like

PSHHHH

>>715989071
>Yeah. As weird as it sounds, the competitiveness that vibes best in the speedrun world is a cooperative one, where we're all pushing each other to do our fastest
Yeah, some of the best communities I've ran in are the ones where you've people who are incomprehensibly good and are pretty much set at the top for life, and still all they want to do is share as much as they can with the rest of the community and help them to get good too.

>switching to sonic instead of KH
one job

>check at great hollow
funny

I guess it sanity checks stuff to not do impossible shit but doesn't avoid doing pain in the ass shit.

why is there like 7 games at the same time

yes

Any questions?

>>715981619
Is Fast50 happening again? I thought we all loved it last year

>>715991229
…could you please post them? I can’t find them :(

>>715991370
They said they were doing Fast51, yeah

>>715991229
>>715991449
only gdq and esa get rated

>>715991229
No, despite the worrying shit of some anons conditioning themselves to need to do it, ratings and charts for the small marathons aren't really a done thing.

>>715991370
Yep. Fast 50 2 (Fast 52) is happening. September 19 - 21.

SA2 Knuckles levels are retarded in that they disable the master emerald radar for everything except the first shard.

They're brilliant in that they're really fun to explore and give you loads of excuses to keep exploring

what happened to oot

They lost Zelda?

>>715991803
Runner had an emergency with his family, according to chat

>>715991803
>>715991849
Guy had to run so they just let him and gave away the items from his game, he would've been able to finish after Sunshine and KH1 which are both about to finish

>>715991803
>>715991849
allegedly kevin had a family emergency

>>715991923
His wife probably beat him up again.

this mario runner fucking sucks

>>715991761
>>715991229
These threads redpilled me more on charts and how they shit up the threads. Sure there was chart and ratings arguments on day one which was pretty silly as nobody was charting but since then the threads have been pretty chill. It's like they came pre-prepared to sperg out about chartanon and charts in general and realized they weren't here so they fucked off. I do think they're better without them as it causes people to sperg out less. But it could be that all the spergs just left after day one because they saw boring "just runs" and it has nothing to do with charts. Who knows, either way pretty good threads.

>>715992030
he's a cocksucker so it's par for the course

>>715991906
>>715991923
code for has diarrhea or shit himself

>>715992329
for you

>>715992086
Charts were a double-edged sword, they made it easier to show a more cohesive thing than the tier lists but then they became much more of a focus for a lot of the thread, and brought in stuff like the HI-FI Rush idiocy and conspiracy shit about the charts themselves.

Some anons tried to do rating anyway as a "vibe check" but you can get an idea of how a run was received from the thread itself, without begging for somebody to knock out a chart using that shit.

heres my elabortate opinion about charts *faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart*

>Dropping off one by one
Sad

>>715992086
Charts are still fine. We didn't exactly get much discussion going on here without them, nothing we wouldn't have had anyway with them. I do miss not having an idea of what runs to check out, personally. Especially since I was asleep during ASM's busiest blocks

>>715992086
I can barely ever watch the stream as it’s happening, so I appreciate the charts as it lets me know which good runs and which trainwrecks I need to watch on YouTube later. It’s all I use them for, don’t give a fuck about any other drama or whatever the fuck is going on about them

>>715992565
I was just going to say. It's worse than the marathon outright ending, it's a visual countdown to the inevitable.

Put the Cum Guardian back on

>>715992640
Somebody's always going to end up the last out out the door just by the nature of these co-op randomizer things.

>>715992086
charts are good for gdq because the event is shit
gives us something fun to do

>>715992479
I think what people forget is that they can do their own chart anyways if they want. Nothing's stopping them. Like for example last year some anon started doing a chart with colored bars instead of dots, and I remember one GDQ had another anon doing a pretty complex chart with a lot of data, and I remember 2022 had two chart anons, and you can still post tier lists. Nothing is stopping them. Especially if they think the one doing them is skewering ratings, just do their own.

>he's STILL on meteor herd

>>715992479
The rate the run posts started dying out over the event anyways I guess they either left or caught the vibe of the thread. But I remember day one seeing them and thinking "oh no" but thankfully not much drama.

>>715992903
Good. I can keep vibing to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sftFzatlg4I

>>715992881
Sleep is stopping me. I can't track the runs I don't see. The only way EU fags would have known how good yisk's cyberpunk run was everyone else talking about it

>>715992970
They started fading out, especially during Euro hours and picked back up less and less each day.

I don't think they're really needed with something like ASM because nothing is completely unwatchable.

>2 screens are dead
what happened

>>715993417
One completed their run, the other had some sort of emergency.

>>715993469
can they still finish the run?

>Metroid runner has been stuck there for like 2 hours waiting for upgrades
kek

>Pete finished before four other people
Pulling through in the last run.

>>715993263
Pretty much yeah, it's very much a watch what you're into its guaranteed to be pretty good event.

>>715992602
>>715992591
I think what a lot of people forget is that they're not signifiers for objective run quality but more so /v/s opinion on stuff. So like it was funny this year to see GDQ be a sea of red, or if you see a run and it's got this massive spread or a bunch of Z's and A's its a signifier something major happened and to maybe check it out.

Okay this is it for me bros, going to bed. Had a great time these past few weeks with you fags, even made GDQ watchable. Going to be weird waking up tomorrow to nothing. Enjoy the last hours of dogwater and see you all in the next mararthon thread.

So can they still finish this if one person had to go?

>>715993580
Thanks bro, see you for RTA in like 3 weeks

>>715993596
>>715993507
Yeah they already gave away all of his items as if he had finished, which is why Sunshine was able to finish since he got like 10 Shines from it

>>715993596
They distributed all the items from his game I think

>>715992086
The problem will always be bad actors stirring the pot. I don't ever remember it being a genuine problem until 2019 when avatarfag tierlists came about and the inevitable
>grrrr, people were rating this run the way I didn't like it, I'm going to nudge things into my favor
>grrrr, he didn't tier this the way I wanted it, I'm going to bitch and moan for several threads and make it everyone's problem.
Charts help address 90% of the problems but there's only so much that can be done about the remaining 10% being drama-based.
I'm glad non GDQ/ESA threads aren't mostly subjected to that autism since I can actually enjoy the runs and not have to deal with it. Although again it seems still there's a small handful of freaks that keeps trying to make it everyone else's problem.
Even shutting the fuck up most of the time and not replying under the chartfag persona helped curb prior problems over the years, but that seems to not be enough as evident by that small handful of freaks.

>>715993643
>>715993661
Makes sense that there's a failsage for thos cases

>>715993580
see you next event anon

>>715993596
>If a player must leave early, they can use Archipelago's release system. When a player releases their game, all items in that game belonging to other players are sent out automatically. This allows other players to continue to play uninterrupted.

>Four left
>DS1 is on kiln.

>>715993568
>or if you see a run and it's got this massive spread or a bunch of Z's and A's its a signifier something major happened and to maybe check it out.
Sometimes it's just a signifier of an anon has decided to be contrarian as fuck and try to spam it because some anons were into it or looked forward to it, last GDQ got that with the five min Mario Paint run of all things.

>>715993680
It got really fucking weird when it started to be a few of them going nuts because of the $20% runs or because the Worms runs were popular.

>>715981362 (OP)
Late MIG!
See you guys next time....

Imagine having to stand here for nearly 2 hours waiting for an item while your friends get to play their games

My short opinion on each event feel free to post yours

>ESA: Was alright, nothing outstanding or worth talking about but still decent. They played it very safe this year which means a lot of "it's a run" runs, but I understand why they did that and I'd have done the same. They had to prove to everyone that they can still pull off an event and have it not descend into a shitshow of drama, and see if people still care about ESA and would donate to it and watch it. My biggest feedback would be not to have the stream on 24/7when there's no event on as its a hindrence more than a benefit
>GDQ: The worst one. I know its memed on that every GDQ is the worst but I thought both 2024 ones were the best in a while and 2025 actually managed to descend into C tier okay territory. But holy shit this year was bad. The most theater kid skits in GDQ history and the most non runs in history. More importantly the neporuns, hooooly shit the nepo runs, when you look into it more it's crazy, nearly every runner connected back to a staff member somehow. It's clear that Sent is a complete pushover and staff took advantage of that. My biggest feedback is to show some fucking speedruns.
>ASM: The comfy marathon. Time zones meant I missed a lot though and it was usually some JRPG on when I was awake, but they actually made the JRPGs enjoyable. I liked the casualness of it all. My biggest feedback is maybe don't connect so many long runs together and spread them out more.
>Dogwater: Funny but maybe a little too Dogwatery for me. Was a good balance to ASM. My biggest feedback is to get more of a hand on tech shit.

This guy is getting gaped by Gwynn.
Just parry him.

We are not parrying Gwyn

>>715994047
We'll need to give Super Metroid bro company...

>>715994047
some of these things have like a store system so you can buy an item you desperately need in an emergency but it doesn't seem to be a thing here

>>715994113
>>715994114
Good. Gwyn's a legit challenging fight without parrying. Let him die with dignity

>>715993938
Or there's just not the consensus you believe there is conspiracyanon

>>715994047
Could always be KH2 who's spent more time sitting in the hub than playing the game

>>715993680
I find it funny because the freak outs are always over the most pointless runs that will be forgotten about by the next event. There's usually only one or two runs that are remembered about beyond the event. Like AGDQ this year if I think back, there's Crazy Taxi with the live band and that's all I remember really, then AGDQ 2024 was the Mario Sunshine redemption run.

>No more Speedrun marathon & threads tomorrow

>>715994213
I think dignity ended at death 3.
Like, you're mid rolling while two handing with a shield equipped. Take the fucking shield off if you aren't parrying, get naked if you're going to be spam rolling.

>Runner is chugging Estus in front of Gwyn
Maybe he should forfeit...

Ratings are shit. The fact you anons are talking about them in a non GDQ thread pretty much sums up everything wrong with them

>Giving up on Gwyn

>>715994518
I have had my fill at this point. I feel like GDQ was the definite energy drainer. If the schedule was ESA, then ASM/Dogwater, GDQ, It would have been the best. But if it started with GDQ, then ESA, then ASM, I'd have been burned out. I think that's what started the burn out when this happened in 2023. Just GDQ knocks you the fuck out.

>Dank Souls runner gives up
Pete's looking even better now.

>>715994103
Pretty much my thoughts for ESA/GDQ/ASM
I feel bad for Dogwater since I don't remember there being any their prior two marathons and it really fucked with morale. It was still enjoyable but

>>715994551
It seems you were right.
>>715994518
This feels like an afterparty. People are just slowly, slowly rolling out one by one. And soon, we will too.

>>715994706
>>715994724
Hangover + Keyboard is a bad combo

LIVE AND LEARN

>tune in again from yesterday
>still at final hazard

>>715994727
Dogwater has been 2022, 2024, 2025, we've had threads for all of them.

>>715994898
Whoops, I meant
>I don't remember there being any tech issues

I need that KH2 Suisei mod

>>715994927
They had some but relatively small scale, usually on the runner end like Pete's controller giving the fuck up during a SA2 race, and the vod for Sonic Generations or something corrupting itself last year.

Super Metroid is finally back in action

>>715994103
I thought I'd elaborate on the ASM feedback one a bit: I felt the first three days were quite loaded with longer runs outside of the JRPG that they put on at dead hours than the last few days where there was less longer runs and I thought it would have made more sense to spread them out. I understand that there were a lot of blocks so some games had to be kept together but again those blocks were in the later days rather than the earlier days which had only one block, the sleepover which was basically "put on Pajamas" so it wasn't really game related.

>>715995207
A lot of those long overnight RPGs were staff members runs being cleared early on so they could stick to their job.

>>715994927
There was sound stuff, audio delays and graphical stuff but the fact that you don't remember any of it shows it wasn't as bad as it has been this year. RE2 was truly an omen

>>715994898
>Dogwater has been 2022, 2024, 2025, pete had threads for all of them.

KH2 looks incredibly fun but I find KH1 extremely boring and never played it longer than 5 hours before dropping it.

>>715995482
I really liked KH1 which surprised me but I hear 2 is better in every way. My worry is more about it going full Nomura.

>>715995410
Oh that makes sense as to why the first three days were backloaded then.

>>715995207
>I thought it would have made more sense to spread them out
I honestly don't think there's a right answer for that. The events that do end up spacing their long runs throughout feel equally wrong compared to runs that group them up. But that's probably just me since I ALWAYS have a problem whenever Golden Sun gets ran and it's never at a good time

>>715994927
The bitrate has been scuffed for a bunch of runs, although the best was probably the RE2 doors and zombies both being broken until he reset his PC.

>Only 1 left
How far is he from finishing, Metroidbros?

>>715994898
There was no Dogwater in 2023?

>Yeah it was an alright multiworld seed
Peter you were stuck for so long you did a grind all the way to level 50 for nothing, and you weren't even stuck the longest

I'm getting alzheimers and everything's purple so I need reminding, what event did ASM overlap with last year again? Was it Dogwater again? Or was it RPG Limit Break? Also didn't BSG overlap with something? Was it RTA?

>>715995482
I prefer KH1 > KH2 overall, but KH2 plays much better mechanically but shits the bed with what KH1 excels at. Most of the boss fights for KH1 kind of blows but most of the boss fights in KH2 were very engaging.

>>715995701
Bottles and Peter did like a 72+ hour Sonic marathon in 2023 and it was a disaster that they had to cut off after a point

>>715995650
Pretty much, yeah, you can't please everybody. A lot of anons who despise long runs were demanding that overnighting them would be the fix during ESA, then we get ASM doing exactly that and suddenly they should cater to other time zones.
>I ALWAYS have a problem whenever Golden Sun gets ran and it's never at a good time
Bowie is really, really good at making Golden Sun runs be engaging but he doesn't seem to do marathons anymore.

>>715995693
>the RE2 doors and zombies both being broken until he reset his PC.
He had to reverify his files once or twice too, something went very fucking wrong there.
>>715995701
There wasn't, no.

>>715995650
I've always been pro put your JRPGs on during the graveyard shift to fill time overnight so everyone else can sleep. I think its the perfect spot for JRPGs and GDQ is always stupid and puts them on at prime time because some staff member is running it. Its just I felt like the first three days of ASM were quite loaded with long runs outside of JRPGs and then the last few days were loaded with shorter runs.

I think outside of the JRPG at graveyard shift, I prefer a long run to be balanced with lots of short runs after rather than long runs one after the other.

>no game audio

Audio is so back.

i really enjoyed that run and some schizo even admitted to spamming Z on it.

>dogwater ending on super metroid
kino...

>>715996516
Yeah it was the regular fun with the Wild Guns dudes, and incredibly short at that.

>>715996450
It's so fucking unequivocally totally over

It's over

I did it! I'm here for the end! despite hardly watching since about halfway into GDQ

Say it with me:
UNDERestimate

DEER FORCE

multiworld feels like a very appropriate way to end dogwater.
Hopefuly there's threads for FF relay

>$2212
They did it, lads.

I don't want to go back to /v/ until RTA/BSG...

Marathon month was one hell of a marathon. I'm glad everything lined up this way!

Marathon season's not over, though, so enjoy your two-week breather

I can't believe it's over. I refuse to believe.

Good night brothers.

its joever...

Based ending
See you at RTA fuckers

>>715996962
Try speedrunning yourself, maybe one day we could be donating for you

>>715996775
I know that feel, I would go back to /vr/ but the FPS threads on there are undergoing the mental breakdown of one anon with alzheimers and another with delusions of being a freedom fighter against the mods.

Dogwater: Wow you guys watch this shit? This marathon called Shitty Speedruns is full of Shitty speedruns!! I expected good runs from the marathon called shittty speedruns judging by how you shilled this!

Hope you bakas enjoy RTA
I will not be watching as I don't speak Japanese

>>715997229
>>715997317
Yeah couldn't you pretty much trick their system and get a run on by just going "Oh yeah one of my pronouns is they" even though it isn't?

>>715997347

alright i dont need you anymore fuck you all im out

>>715997306
The reruns apparently give them enough money to almost cover hotel costs, so they're not going away.

>>715997375
Perfection. It always feels right to me to end a marathon with this

I feel like I was just punched in the head and snapped back to reality for the first time in three weeks.

I humbly ask the janny that unless it's a deliberately trolly pornposter, can you keep the bans to a 1 day minimum? 3 days means I miss the thread
yes i can just ban evade but that's not the point

>>715997474
Yeah. I remember a literal man being at a Frost/Flame Fatales

guess i should go play some video games or something? what the fuck am i doing with my life

>>715997257
She's not into watching marathons, especially since there's usually very little of the stuff she runs, being run by anybody competent.

>>715997696
Actually yes. I remember all the fallout and heard they were taking a long break at the least.

>>715997718
They seemed to die some years back, not enough weeaboos to go around I guess.

I'll make a thread when the time comes
>>715981940

I have so much television and videos to catch up on

They tried very hard to make people think it was either dying or on the verge of it, mostly to mine a bit of sympathy.

>>715997658
Having missed the first half of ESA and having been banned for the latter half, that'd be a nice world. Unfortunately, the jannies will janny.

Wait, when did it end? I was doing something and missed it...
Anyways, it was a pleasure lads. See you soon

>>715997078
Here's a game for you or anyone else to play on rewatch. Or hell just do it by checking out GDQ's schedule. Check each runner and couch from SGDQ this year and try to link them back to one of the games commitee. The amount that do is wild. They're either one of the committee themselves, a run that a committee member can couch on, a known close friend of a committee member, or they run the same game as one of the committee members.

>>715997960
Oh or they're GDQ staff in some other capacity.

>>715997960
I just want to see Sent run Gurumin.

>>715997924
Don't worry, Edenal stepped up! Thanks Edenal.

eh... i guess i can spitewatch to make coolmatty mad

>>715997940
I was also banned for the latter half for asking why Goosebert was on a chair. Some janny really loves Goosebert (or is Edenal, conspiracy conspiracy!)

What I haven't seen anyone notice is that frozenflygone was just a runner during 2021 and then suddenly she's brought on as staff after one Frames Fatales

>>715997658
Yeah the amount of blatant porn I saw up was stupid, then the amount of bans that I saw for silly things was dumb. I got banned for "off topic" because I said something like
>Reminder this game came out 12 years ago, feel old yet?

I find ESA the most

Goodbye everyone and remember to hydrate!

>>715998317
Pretty much the same shit happened with RubieHart, showed up to GDQ once and never left.

>>715998273
>I was also banned for the latter half for asking why Goosebert was on a chair. Some janny really loves Goosebert (or is Edenal, conspiracy conspiracy!)

Anon??
Oh no, the events are over, but the janny is still banhappy!
ANON!!!
A warning or a 1-day ban would be perfect for most of whatever this janny wants to sort. It wouldn't ruin the entire marathon for someone either

>>715998345
Reminds me of that twitch chat cap where a GDQ mod was telling people to shut up and react to the run when people were talking about the game instead. They really want to turn this place into just an extension to the chat

>>715997040
ESA - A Great runs and had the most fun threads
GDQ - D Only saved by a handful of watchable runs
ASM - A Was great except the first day
DOGWATER - B Jank but fun
It's been an entertaining 3 weeks overall.

Tonight on Dogwater Runs:
Peter gets his stomach pumped due to excessive alcohol consumption and finishes 6 hours over estimate
Peter shows his boner bulge and pisspants live on stream for 200 dollars
And Peter does the same Sonic level 6 times in a row without realizing it

>>715997040
ESA: A
GDQ: C if i generously don't count intermissions
ASM: B
Dog: B

>people rating ESA highly

What do I do now?
Btw how was the final run?

>>716004095
>Btw how was the final run?
Pretty cool, it was one of those multi-game unlock stuff for each other things with I think seven runners, which somehow despite Dogwater's constant technical issues went massively better than the one ESA did with less runners some weeks back.

>>715997040
>ESA - B

I can only really think of PSI-OPS and Tim's runs, but then I think it was an overall very mid showing for an ESA, much like the last Summer.

I finally mig. To bed. Until we meet again

>>716004092
CTR, Blood Money, Elden Ring, Spider-Man block, Psi-Op

don't get why so many preferred ESA to ASM this year, I guess nostalgia, steam 2 and threads but imo ASM had a better mix of FUN, quality runs and non-run content.
Also no contest on the runner performance between the common ESL mumbling/autists and the jovial humorous functional human Aussies. pretty much perfect even for what I want as a viewer

didn't mind the RPGs nice way to ease into that days slate (burger going to bed at 5AM)

>>715981619
How can people even watch these anymore? Every single one is worse than the last one

No thanks, bro.

>Be Aussie
>Catch all the cool runs and can sleep during JRPG night shift
>Be Burger
>Catch the relaxed morning runs and get a decent amount of the cool runs
>Be Euro
>Only catch the late night JRPG runs and some of the morning runs
And then obviously ESA is the opposite, so I'm being asked to compare the best of ESA versus the ASM night shift and as someone who doesn't really care about JRPGs the choice is obvious.

Anyway I preferred Dogwater to both, thought GDQ was worse than both and can only assume prime time ASM was better but... I was sleeping

>>716008325
People have always liked let's plays and twitch streams since it allows you to experience a game while doing something else yourself. Speedruns are like that except the readers digest condensed version, so you can experience many different games in a single watch sesh. However if you just watch a single speedrunner stream, typically they only play one game and restart it often, so people like these events instead that shift across multiple people and games. Occasionally the people will have something interesting to say about the history of the game, or more rarely they might actually do something skillful and impressive, or they might just have some quirk or drama around them that can be interesting to see. It's more interesting than television and you can leave it playing on second monitor all week without needing to take time to find things to watch all the time. That's the real draw of these things. The actual skillful play mostly died out a long time ago since there's only a handful of games that are actually challenging and competitive to speedrun.

>>716009235
fair enough, think I did sleep through some of the higher rated ESA runs but I generally care more about average run quality as an all week watcher

>>716009235
Weirdly the angriest the threads have gotten about the nighttime RPG runs have been during American hours.

Personally I caught enough of everything to enjoy ASM as much as I did last year where the pumpins were lumpy and the threads were less hostile to begin with.

C'est fini

who ever fucking recommended dogwater during the esa/gdq streams, go fuck yourself. this fucking sucked ass
