Oh shit I had no idea this was on, but the threads are dead?

>>717813552
Well, I am watching, but there was some discussion in the RTA thread about whether BSG and RTA should be in one thread or not. I guess people still are confused. Also a long FF run doesn't help with thread activity.

>>717813552
What the other guy said. JRPG run and small scale of the event don't help activity either.

>>717814893
A couple anons always get angry about combined threads and demand it be split, even during ASM + Dogwater there was some of that.

I always watch all events that are going on, it's great for switching when you don't want to watch something on one event.
But some people in the RTA thread are mad because yesterday some fags were fighting about which event was better.

>>717815547
>small scale of the event don't help activity either.
True, not surprised that BSG does not appear to become "the next ESA". Some people were quick to label it this way, after they took in some ESA refugees, but it looks all the same to me. Not saying that is a bad thing, just wondering what people were thinking back then.

BOG?

This evening looks a little underwhelming.

>>717816337
The diehard weebs that hate anything non nipponese are really riled up this year.

>>717819590
It gets better, since one of those Marios is actually...a roguelike deckbuilder!

>>717816337
>Fair, but it looks like it's about to die again. If only they didn't act like we NEEDED to merge with them, I really did think they were a bigger event trying to muscle in, and not just a tiny delusional one.

The real delusional faggot is in the RTA threads mad at made up boogeymen

>>717820392
>it's real

You fags enjoying BSG so far?

>>717820513
It's been fine, these smaller events need to stop with the huge JRPG runs though

>>717820513
Yeah, same old BSG being chill as fuck, especially now they got Tim on as an announcer and he's just doing his usual of loving the shit out of games he doesn't even run.

>>717820535
I think they are fine if they are done in the night shift. Sucks for people from different time zones, though.

>>717820705
You all experienced my pain during ASM

>>717820535
It's four hours, it's not huge.
>>717820705
It was funny seeing people complaining that the Australians were doing overnight JRPG runs, when most of the staff are JRPG runners.

>>717820651
Tim and Yato both have funny voices.

>>717820651
tiny tim sounds so tiny

>sponsor BSG so Tiny Tim can read out your shitty indie game ad on stream

Winning strategy

>he's got such a big schnoz
What did he mean by this?

>yato slowly fading into the dark
Why is crowd cam so dark this event?

>>717821229
It's traditional.

>one schizo having a melty in the RTA thread
I guess it's for the best if we stay split.

>>717821636
It's going to set a precedent for every event thread from now on. RTA had mini events that attached themselves to other events and it was fine because more choice is great, but after this? I dunno man.

>>717821636
Probably one of the same ones who was doing it during ASM and Dogwater, they're just here for drama and if the stream won't provide it, they'll try to get it in the thread.

>>717821636
there's just 1 guy shitposting, really sad, it's always fun talking about both events

>>717821838
The sad thing is people taking the bait with it.

>>717821873
The real sad thing is the otaku that actually feel the way he does that post on 4chan

>>717821838
It'd help is a mod did their job and fucking booted him.

>MoHo
>by Take Two
so is it a good game or a horribly shit game

That space station after the boss kill totally looked like Ceres Station from Super Metroid. I was too slow for a screenshot, unfortunately.

>>717822209
Not sure but on speedrun leaderboards the levels are insanely fast

>I was too slow for a screenshot
Watch the Youtube stream, you can rewind up to twelve hours before the run.

>>717822305
shut up dev monkey

>speedrunning events are now overlapping each other
this really got out of hand from once a year huh

>>717815547
>small scale of the event don't help activity either
It's almost like the two events should be one thread or something.

>>717822428
This has been going on for a while its just we used to merge the threads but RTA are being particularly spergy.

>>717822484
I think its one tourist from the nintendo controversy threads

>>717822347
Thanks, that worked. Though it wasn't that similar in the end, I guess.

>>717822484
>RTA are being particularly spergy.
Yeah, it's a real mystery why they might be upset about having a sperg who keeps claiming to be a BSG fan shitting up their threads.

>>717822595
He's the only one shitting up the thread.

>>717822553
I figured there'd be anons losing their shit over that in various directions over that so I didn't even bother checking the threads.

Wait wait wait
>prize donated by Nintendo Benelux
Is that an official nintendo branch? I;d laugh if BSG had official nintendo sponsorship while RTA got a cease and desist

>>717820513
Threads have been a bit messy and confusing

>>717822894
>while RTA got a cease and desist
For what? Games, music, or other licensed stuff?

>>717816013
Well this is what happens when they're split. Dead threads on both sides.

>>717822993
>Nintendo-owned titles excluded from Japan’s biggest speedrunning event after organizers were told they had to apply for permission for each game

>Speedruning event RTA in Japan gets warned over "unauthorized usage" of Nintendo's games in the competition.

>>717822997
Hey buddy, we've got the fake BSG sperg keeping our thread alive, we don't need the merge. If your thread dies, that's on you.

>>717823064
>can't run nintendo games in their own country
kek

>>717823073
>hes so mad at BSG he came here to rant
You're a sad little man guraspic

HOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

What the fuck.

>>717822553
At the same time, the RTA threads have always been awful for sperging over other events and the threads for them.
I tried watching RTA a few times, the threads frequently shit on other events/threads, and how RTA threads are the best ever because it's got no obsessions (while obsessing over other threads)
It just came off as circle jerky.

>this vioce
Fucking Micky Mouse ass.
Nope.

>voice
OK, I'm out. That's way too cringe for me.

oh ok so it's a horribly shit run
back to RTA

>Sega Dreamcast
>Game I don't know yet
Damn, I had high hopes for this...

>>717823209
>It just came off as circle jerky.
I mean it is, you know how weebs can be
>the meltdown when they found out a japanese fandom prefer the dubbed english

no thank you

So it's that Madballs game except with a floating torso?

>>717823176
Yeah, Japan and Nintendo is such a weird relationship

>1hr of this freak
fuuck

What are we playing/watching till this run is over?

>>717811757 (OP)
How many viewers they pullin' in this year? 100? 150?

>>717824087
digimon

>>717824609
Alas, I cant stand the sound of Japanese.

>>717824740
Just watch the english restream like normal people

>>717822553
Did those threads bring a lot of tourists or something?

>>717825191
Yeah.

>>717825191
Yep, got a lot of /pol/ types attention back on speedrunning again, it was dumb enough when they were complaining that Dogwater wasn't GDQ enough for them.

>>717824142
about 200 on average during non-prime time, 400 during prime time

Said it in yesterdays thread but it was kinda dead due to shit being sorted out thread wise but I won a prize for donating to ASM which was cool, never won a prize from one of these before. Except it was Aus only. I still redeemed it and gave it to me Aussie online friend.

It was nice to see that they actually deliver on prizes unlike GDQ where you have to fight them to get your bad Etsy crochet delivered.

>>717825410
Glad it didn't happen during that big three week streak then. Imagine that shit during GDQ.

>>717826117
ASM seems to be ran by people who actually give a fuck about doing right with shit, most of the higher staff being runners themselves too instead of middle managers.

>Neon Drive
We in the 80s again.

>>717826170
There were a lot in the asm threads

>>717826220
Not just that, but if you advertise a prize/raffle and don't follow through our government will rake you over the coals

>>717826306
Yep, they ran out of steam towards the end but you always got some popping back up during American hours.
>>717826327
Especially since ASM has some government funding, they're under extra scrutiny.

This looks like a really cool game

>car game
>french accent

>>717826451
I'm not too sold on the third person stuff but the top-down sections looked cool.

>>717826518
if these tile things were just cars it would've been much better but I agree

Now that's a prize, GDQ would never

>>717826117
Something related that bugs me with GDQ
>looking at prizes to laugh at how shit they are
>bunch of links lead to dead images
>no idea what the this "amazing" prize even looks like
Like how hard is it to download the image and upload it to a GDQ gdrive to ensure it doesn't get deleted?

>>717826637
Yeah I think that would do it a lot of good, even if they were translucent or something so you could see the track ahead well enough.

a lot of chokes... but I like that the runner is just vibin

shit this game is dirt cheap
ok i'm buying it

This run is pretty much BSG all the way through for me, it's not the most hyped up shit ever, but it's chill and the runners are enjoying running even obscure stuff.

>>717827050
Yep, they make for the best events

>>717827283
It used to be what I liked about ESA, stuff like the XIII run where the dude really loved the run and just wanted to show it off.

>>717827485
Yeah ESA followed GDQ a little too closely and became a spectacle

bye

Farewell

>>717827618
Intentionally so at that, the running started to take a back seat even before they massively fucked up things.

I remember looking for some 3d collectathons and this game and the one before it being recommended, but I don't see the relevance. I don't want to go fast.

>random mickey mouse sound in the background
Bros?

why even give these guys the airtime for this?

dude any time that guy in the back talks, lmao.

Does this event not have a YouTube stream too? Lame.

>>717828167
they were very much ahead of schedule

>>717828436
It does.

>>717828436
Try reading from the top.

>>717828603
C-cu... currant?

>>717828603
I'm retarded, I have embedding turned on and thought that was the Twitch embed.

>missed MoHo, no idea what that is
>look it up
>it's the European name for Ballbreakers
FUCK
I had no idea my peak childhood game had speedrunners and I missed it

>>717828850
>missed MoHo,
You truly are blessed, my friend.

>>717828850
Anon...

>>717828850
The runner was a german tranny with a mickey mouse voice, I closed the stream instantly so be happy you missed it

>>717828850
>missed MoHo
Good for you bro

Does hot pursuit have the same map as most wanted?

>>717826117
you got e-mailed by Werster!

BSG getting sponsored giveaways from Nintendo where RTAIJ gets its games canceled is a mood

>>717829504
It's pretty cool that he's in a senior position there, that end bit of ASM where you could tell the head dude genuinely appreciates the fuck out of people like him and Clubwho was really neat to see after all the corporate crap at other events.

>Hot Pursuit
Why does this look different then the one I played on 360?
It looks worse

>>717830569
Yeah they had me fooled by the name too.
It's actually a mod for most wanted

>>717830627
lol okay thanks.
it got me to get up and walk over to my games to see if it was the same name

I wonder if we might see Black Souls at a future event, the Steam version releases this week.

>>717831802
Not a chance.

>>717828925
I cant believe it was the real mickey mouse

>>717830465
I felt sorry for the guy who was running it even though he kept up good spirits you could always see him run around frantically and he didn't seem to sleep very often.

>>717832245
Horrifying.

>>717832245
>estimated value
If I ever do a garage sale, I'll make sure to invite those guys.

>>717832309
that's also why he broke down during his Braking Point run kek

>>717832245
dei....

>>717832309
That's generally what running those events is like when you're actually running them and not being some manager sat in a hotel room telling other people to go without sleep.

Dude at least seemed to be there for the runners, he really seemed to add a lot to stuff like the South Park run where he was talking about what the run was like and stuff.

>crash instead of card slop
sounds good

I'll never get over how bad Crash "4": It's about time was.

where are the Spyro runs at?

>>717834447
I think Crash platformers in that formula are best when the levels or short(er). The problem with Wrath of Cortex & It's About Time is that the levels overstay their welcome. Idk how you fix that in the modern day unless you make every level shorter but also make more level.
What do you guys think about that?

>>717813552
/v/ and 4chan in general is dying.

>>717834447
Definitely felt like it came and went too

>>717834839
dead 4chan theory…

>>717822894
They got renamed to Nintendo of Europe recently, but yes it's an official branch

Really not feeling this schedule, fellas

>>717836365
>Why are there games in here? Where are the cringe donations?

>>717836856
nigger, there's a tranny on right now, settle down

it's like if someone took a doll and replaced the head with a different toy's head, what the fuck

>>717836365
Same, they went all in on board games and bling bling wahoo tonight. If that's not your cup of tea: Tough luck. Hope it will be better tomorrow.

this guy sucks at balatro and it's white stake too

yup, definitely not a fetish.

did sm64 and the intermission get swapped?

>>717837220
On one hand I don't hate it, on the other I'm still glad they're getting it out of the way and not having it be the end thing like at other marathons.

that fucking crouch card kek

>>717840730
Powerful.

What the FUCK are those things on the couch?

How come there are more trannies than in ESG? It's like only three countries, but every next speedrunner is a troon.

i thought smaller events were immune to pronoun shit, but maybe its the opposite

>>717841341
most of the events have them now regardless of their size

>>717841426
Dogwater had one and nobody even noticed.

>>717841160
The number has tripled this year. GDQ had its highest, ASM had a huge amount too. Way different than 2024.

we're approaching gdq levels of tranny count.
I seriously cannot deal with this mickey mouse absolute faggotry lmao

>pronouns are IT/IT
>he's not from Italy
???

>wake up
>it/it run
huh?

>>717841854
>>717841856
It/It because he's a fucking clown.

The tranny is trying to force a feminine voice, that's why it's so weird

>>717842146
I dont give a shit what it is I don't wanna hear it

>>717841847
When people started to suggest that this could become the new ESA, I couldn't really see why thewy would think that. I always had the gut feeling that if anything, it will become Euro-GDQ.

>>717842305
It's not likely to do either, BSG has it's own thing going, which doesn't lend itself to massive, sudden success the way GDQ or ESA went.

>>717842146
It'd be better for everyone if he didn't try at all.

>>717842305
ESA is Euro GDQ wdym

>>717842305
To be honest I always thought the ESA exiles were the ones I disliked most from ESA.

>>717844404
Thought the same for some, but definitely not all. People might be divided about Metako (love him btw) or Argick, but I doubt anyone disliked Fatzke for example, or Heinki.

>>717842602
Good. I was wondering if it was ESA rejects, who had some wishful thinking going on, proclaiming that ESA is dead and BSG/UKSG would be the replacements. Seems like this is not happening, and it is not desireable in first place.

why isn't this ending

>turn on stream
>hear mickey mouse talking
aside from that, how's the event been so far?
didn't even know it was on until I saw the thread

>>717845645
It's been very good, this current cancer is an exception

>>717842305
The organisers are openly communist. There's no hope for this being anything other than euro-gdq if they try to become big. I'm just happy with them for what they do - mostly good runs with a decent tech team

fucking finally

I actually liked that run, the game looks super fun. The couch however, was absolute dogshit. If it was just this guy playing that would have been very enjoyable.

Pretty interesting idea for a romhack. Someone managed to make a '___ but with deckbuilding' game non-offensive to me.

>>717846456
> this current cancer is an exception
sounds good

>>717845645
>hear mickey mouse talking
could be worse

oh sheeet it's tinytim again! kino coming

Holy fuck Tiny Tim. Wasn't expecting that.

>tinytim
Oh nice

>>717813552
Some lardass decided to split the speedrunning threads even though we combined the aussie and dog water speedruns in the last threads, so now they're both dead.

Thank you Tim, I had no idea Super Mario Bros. 2 was, in fact, a reskin of the Japanese only game Doki Doki Panic.

>>717848854
Yeah, not many people are aware of this bit of deep gamer lore

>>717848854
Guys, did you know that Mario was really influential back in the day?
That's right, we're going all the way down on the iceberg today.

fuck TinyTim exudes big dick energy

>>717850052
Please keep your homoerotic fantasies about TinyTim to yourself

lol imagine if mario made the hands in world 8 grab his willy as a joke

>>717850409
haha

FUCK I MISSED TINY TIM'S RUN

Good God this is choketastic

>>717850928
I-is he dead?

gaem ovah

fucking choke

>>717850052
disgusting pedofile

>board games
this is not a speedrun

Hey I was just playing boardgames on TTS.

Yerr kidding me

why don't they just move the piece to the end
any% glitch

board games are the worst shit to watch no matter what event does it unless they're absolutely wasted or playing a drinking game version

Is there anything good on today's schedule

Oh this is a sponsored board game segment.

>>717854817
Stranger of Paradise for 2 hours next (after a 20 minute setup time apparently)

why don't they play faster IT'S A SPEEDRUN CMON

fuck it I'm going to sleep

>oh shit i left food in the oven
kek
Has a live speedrun ever been aborted midway through due to a non-run-related situation?

I've yet to play jack's game, worth a pirate at least?

>>717857526
For the cutscenes alone it's worth it. The main protagonist is just a fever dream and the battle system is also fun.
Also, the Habsburg jaw guy is back at it

>>717857526
It's worth actually paying for, and the only huge filesize game I've made an exception for.

>>717857379
There's been at least one fire alarm that's interrupted a run in a past ESA

>>717858709
my boy

that really is a noteworthy chin

>>717862405
It's very powerful.

>>717861246
Wasn't that Josh's run at NSG?

>>717862830
that said the runner constantly clearing his throat is more annoying

>>717862945
Seems like something going around cause a bunch of runners have been doing it today.

>>717862904
Almost. It was at UKSG.
Someone was smoking in one of the toilet stalls.

>>717866882
Oh, right, yeah, I think NSG was the power cut then.

>No backup strat
Uh oh!

Twin Snakes is an ok MGS remake, and it's still funny that it sends the fans nuts for ruining their serious game.

I know that dog sound.

how come rta dont want us man..

wait is this german THAT guy?

>>717873097
holy shit it is

its joever...

>we don't like the North
Strong statement from a German.

>who needs women? my sword is my love
kek

>>717880394
I had wondered, I thought he was just being German as fuck with how camp that language gets.

I missed this kraut bros
