Seems to be "Japanese Games Morning" ongoing.

Chill stream, bros

Cranky the event is deadge

Dont think they save this? Seems like everyone was right

>>717893257
Was it more alive in recent iterations? Did watch a few, but can't really remember, for me it was always a small event. Also it's Tuesday early morning, not exactly speedrunning prime time.

GDQ core game.

>>717893257
>Cranky the event is deadge
at ass in the morning lmao

i love pingu
i think thi is my 2nd favorite gb game now

>>717893335
Yeah it was. Guess less people showed up due to ESA being back and the 3 week streak. Last year it was RTA that was dead, only being kept alive with just image dumps. But probably the nintendo shit infected the thread, also explains why that retard was sperging so much.

The apes have escaped.

>>717894029
If you mean inside the venue, its overflowing side events so you won't really see people in the crowd.

>>717894682
Nah was talking about the threads, assumed that anon meant that when saying dead event. Crowd feels normal.

They need to make these screens bigger

>>717895125
After some of the terrible multi-game overlays we've seen in the past months, I'm perfectly ok with this even if there's more space they could have got out of it.

OMG FLASHING LIGHTS! ANON'S CLOSE YOUR EYES

>>717895095
Yeah I figured I misunderstood, thanks!

Tony won yet he was in the back for most of the run.

>Riekelt in a bathtub with Metako
Pornography.

Fuck yes! Hamsters!

He is just like me!

>>717895523
crazy how dogwater was the one with the good multi-game setups

more like
Big Suck Gock

>>717897783
Yeah that really was quite a surprise, they were doing it online with a much more unstable setup and still had a better overlay where you could see all the fucking games and swapped between them without a 30 min stream downtime like the one ESA had.

>>717895523
>>717897783
>>717898681
>multigame setups
Experimented with Archipelago recently, looks like fun. It's basically a tool for a randomizer over a limited (and growing) array of possible games and players, with the items being switched between games.

Not sure how to find games which work well together, though. If you have Zelda and Super Metroid for example, and the SM morph ball is on Zelda Ganon, the Metroid player would be stuck forever. Technically solvable, if the Zelda player can reach Ganon without held from the SM player, but not good for playing.

aw hell I missed the ham ham run
anything good after this?

>>717899985
I stopped watching ham ham because while the game was fun the couch was fucking annoying

>>717898798
They're a neat idea when they work but like we saw at Dogwater, some people end up sitting there for half an hour because they can't progress at all.
>>717899985
It's weirdly making me think of Minish Cap.

>>717900339
my love for ham ham will overcome the fat trannies

>sniper hamster
Hamtaro called TF2.

O

>>717894029
>also explains why that retard was sperging so much.

I noticed the sperging always starts when its SEA primetime, so I think its the guraspammer. That said RTA thread keeps hitting page 10 only to have a convenient bump catapult it back to page one

I don't think these interview segments land

>another Archipelago run
Reeeeeeeeeeeee, this gimmick got old the first time it was streamed.

>>717902339
Not really but they're traditional for BSG, at they at least try compared to ESA's stand there and make noise to fill time ones.

>>717902645
This is probably a lot of fun when playing with friends, but for streaming it is just another gimmick run, and those tend to suck.

>>717903432
Maybe this one will have a decent layout, right...

>so yeah you can speedrun this game in two and a half hours but only if you play the side mode for like ten hours beforehand
that's some bullshit for a "speedrun"

also flying giant fucking penis and ballsack

>>717903573
*for a "new game speedrun"

>>717903573
>that's some bullshit for a "speedrun"
A lot of runs use premade saves to skip that shit because you'd complain even more if you had to sit through that.

I dont like the graphic style of wooly world

>>717904557
Yeah I never got the attraction to the wool stuff, or the cardboard stuff either.

>>717904825
Nintendo seem to have lost a lot of the imagination they once had

>>717905184
Shigeru Miyamoto isn't all he's cracked up to be, and they've lost a fair few people who were about making fun stuff.

>>717906115
Miyamato has lost the plot himself imho

>>717906176
I'm not sure he ever really had it, I think he's pretty much the equivalent of George Lucas.

That stock sound that's been used in eighty Nintendo games including some Pokemon ones is driving me up the wall.

>>717906483
I feel like that is the case of a lot of these figureheads in game companies

>>717906904
they donated it for charity anon

>>717907081
No they actually donated so the host would would do a Yoshi impression

>>717906904
>Benelux speedrunner gathering yoshi
>The thing is all orange with a Dutch flag
What did they mean with this?

>>717907531
They said it was based on a mascot they have, but I have no idea what

>>717907531
>dutch flag
I was not paying attention to the stream and I thought it was a Pepsiman reference

>>717906904
Pepsi Yoshi.

This game is so unbelievably generic looking it almost feels like an insult towards its audience.

>>717908670
True, but it is a DS game for kids

BSG colourscheme being tan and brown is a bit bland

Do you actually like Bowser Junior?

What are the archipelago games this time?

>>717910567
Agreed, should be purple.

>>717911402
One was pokemon, another was some zelda game dunno the third

threads gonna die before the run starts

>Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Dang, I thought it was Jet Set Radio for a moment.

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING FUCK YOU

How did he get Lugia with one Pokeball at full health? Archipelago rules?

>>717912501
Weird choice compared to the other two

Archipelagos are so ass to watch.

>>717913016
one of the options is guaranteed capture which is probably on

>>717913241
Yeah, the first one was enough

>>717913241
It's hard to feel engaged with those runs, because even if you know one of the games well enough to appreciate a speedrun, it's guaranteed to be such a clusterfuck of custom rules, interdependencies and very small screens, that one is guaranteed to lose interest quick. And those runs also tend to be long, after all it's multiple games, and they won't go through the complicated setup just to make a 20min-run.

>>717913427
I have the bad feeling that we will get treated to those a lot of times in the future. Like with every new gimmick, they will ride the horse to death, and then some more.

>>717913682
Besides the initial feeling of "oh cool that this is possible technically" it gets real boring real quick as you said. Imagine as a normie stumbling upon this and trying to actually follow wtf is going on

>>717914254
I felt like that when i first watched a LTTP randomizer tournament, but then the more of them I watched the more I enjoyed it/ I guess these players get stuck in their bubble and dont think about what would be fun to watch for those at home, and the schedulers just see its a fad and allow it in.

I also think the games streamed should be metroidvania or zelda likes, or other games with collectable traversal upgrades. Mixing game genres just seems like it doesn't work well.

>>717913241
Agreed, trend needs to stop. Even randomizers are better.

You know what hey should do? MAKE THE FUCKING SCREENS BIGGER

>>717914736
but the advertisers and prizes….

>>717914554
>Mixing game genres just seems like it doesn't work well.
I wonder how to even identify games that work well. There's a game list on the archipelago page, but I wonder if there's another way to find games that have good synergy, except trial and error. And even if it worked well once or twice: The randomizer can still screw you up the next time.

I guess safe picks are games where there aren't many item restrictions on item location checks.

>>717914254
Yeah, pretty much this. Granted, this IS probably pretty fun to play - but not to watch.

>>717914930
>I wonder how to even identify games that work well.
I think you can tweak it to the point that only the major unlocks are what will be randomised across games. Marathons just seem to pick the worst game combinations.

>pokemon runner doesn't just meditate and spam espeed and dragon breath
>uses 5~ turns to slowly kill a pokemon on fights with 3 pokemon
>replaces meditate with strength
am I retarded or is this a dumb move

>>717913192
It's ~40 years of gaming in a single showcase, quite cool imo

>>717915721
This run feels like it's taking 40 years zZzZz

>>717915367
isn't meditate just a heal?

>>717912335
One day we'll find out what happened to him.

Archipelagos might be better if you had seriously good commentary and a UI that could keep up with the insane amount of info you need to know but aren't shown. As is, if you look away for 3 minutes, you could be completely lost for an hour+ long run

So I'm supposed to pay attention to 3 TINY screens while everything is randomized and shuffled among the 3 games so I can't figure out what is even going on?

>>717916835
attack up. seems like its eaiser to use that once, because strength and dragon breath are physical in gen two. seems like most of the run is just checks which is boring so meh either way

wtf is this cringe

Just tuned in, why wiimotes? Why not use a normal mouse on a pc? Just because of the gimmick?

>>717923418
>gimmick
yes

>>717923593
Okay thanks, I don't feel this is worth watching then. Very arbitrary gimmick, just a gimped mouse. At least a dance pad or something is a new input method. Guess I will come back for the TP run

>>717923864
yeah the runners are kinda annoying too I was watching RTA. Thread might die though

Any good runs so far?

It's more like Chortle 2 because you chortle when they slip up

>near 5 minutes overestimate
mods, condemn these runners' favourite franchises to become mainstream

>Twilight Princess about to start

We're so dead, BSGros.


RTA-chan, please save us. Please have mercy on us. Take us in, we'll behave

>>717928293
Not like RTA is doing that well either. Turns out combining the threads would have been smarter, just like last year. But guess the sperg won, hope he is having fun keeping the thread alive.

Did I hear that right? Is this 4 hours of Mickey Mouse coming up?

I hope that one anon who was writing a book sort of based on TP is doing ok.

GIGA CHOKE

>safety save
its over

At least he has safety saves and it's not like that Terraria fuckup.

I love hard runs, so fair deuce to this guy.
I also love long, hard runs.
Dunno if I like long hard runs that can fail so badly that you need a safety save which requires an intermission

>>717935785
you sound like you love dicks

>>717935889
What's wrong with loving a spot of dick? They usually taste great.

I'm dumb. How does unplugging the controller help you buffer inputs?

>>717936294
Depends on the system but some read an input or two while reconnecting and run them together or near enough together.

>>717936546
That makes sense, thanks Anon.

This run is lacking in lumpy pumpkins.

there was a mickey mouse voiced tranny earlier. really outlandish shit

How the fuck does a wildebeest even play a Zelda game?

Is this shaping up to be a trainwreck or did it pass that threshold already

>>717942226
Mostly it's been fine it's just had a handful of very unfortunate problems.

i'm still mad that the entirety of the twilight realm is just a shitty castle in the sky

Yeah they really wasted a lot of potential with that, it gets annoying that both GC Zeldas were rushed to fuck and had a lot cut out.

No, you're a rhombus.

The Dutch have jazz quota laws for the music.

What's the equivalent of "being so into speedrunning you are one of 50 people on earth watching a Dutch speedrunning marathon" in other fandoms?

Draw RTA-chan. I've been straddling the two marathons based on whichever game is more fun to watch.

>>717962094
Shut the fuck up about Plum outside of ESA goddamn you have killed it for me.

>>717962282
That's my first comment about it. I guess people just love her too much.

>>717962554
every single speedrun event thread this year has had someone ask for Plum

>>717962857
wouldn't be an issue if the other marathons had cute mascots

>>717963591
They do. You just don't care.

>>717963651

Game list has been pretty bad on this marathon. I have only watched 5 runs so far.

>>717971520
Doesn't look much better later on:
>rhythm games
>showcases
>roguelikes
>Pokemon
Well, at least those aren't overly long, and I actually enjoy roguelikes. Still, usually they don't make great speedruns.

Have to say I'm not very impressed with BSG so far. No idea why this got hyped by some Anons in the wake of the ESA drama. At its best it has some solid speedruns, at its worst it has long slogfests of boring games, tons of shitty gimmick runs, tons of she/her/it/it-shenanigans, and overall the entertainment factor is rather low. I gladly admit that I watch mostly for entertainment, not a pseedrunning purist. But I guess that applies to most watchers. Still I think ESA, ASM and Dogwater all were better.

>>717971520
There's only 1 good run in BSG

>>717972496
BSG should never have been advertised as on par with ESA, they were trolling you

It's been a pretty dull BSG this time though, just some poor choices for runs.

>>717973623
>they were trolling you
I suspected that they were maybe part of the people that were disappointed with ESA, and tried to leave scorched earth behind. Could just be a tinfoil hat theory, though.

>>717975424
ESA has a lot of hatewatchers now, especially anytime Edenal is on screen

Running down hallways: The game

>>717972496
the people who think BSG is on par with ESA are fucking delusional

BSG is way smaller so it only makes sense it's more crap

if anything, BSG is one of the more cozy events

>>717972496
>No idea why this got hyped by some Anons
To be fair I feel the same way about RTA

>>717973623
or it's people who have different interests than the whole entertainment show > charity > running thing.

We got the same kinds of "I WAS PROMISED THIS WOULD BE GDQ BUT GOOD" kinds of posts throughout most of ASM and even some of Dogwater too, despite those two having their own vibes to them too.

>>717972496
>Still I think ESA, ASM and Dogwater all were better.
I'd say it's on par with Dogwater, which is too grassroots to be consistently fun to watch. The worst part of this BSG is the schedule, it sucks for the reasons you mentioned.

>>717977713
I'd put BSG close to ASM, a lot of us went out of way to say it's not this high hype, high energy event, it's most just people having fun running games.

BSG was never going to be this replacement ESA because it's doing it's own thing, which is fine.

Its nighttime in benelux right now, right?

>>717979886
No, it's 11:50AM right now.

>BSG were 41 minutes behind schedule at some point this morning

How? What even happened?

>>717978043
>because it's doing it's own thing, which is fine.
Yeah, fair, I don't blame them at all for this, but the people who advertised this different were clearly delusional. Still, for me it means that I rather have it on occasionally as background noise, while the ESA/ASM/Dogwater-gauntlet had a lot more appeal to me, so I will put my focus there.

>>717977713
I enjoy the grassroots vibes desu, but I understand why people would be alienated by them at times.

>>717977201
Same, I really tried watching for a while, but since my Japanese skills barely extend NANI and DESU NE, I don't get what's going on. I heard there is an English restream, but I hold the prejudice that restreams are always lame, no exceptions.

>>717980659
>people who advertised this different were clearly delusional
People advertising anything are stupid, especially after last month of dragging the drama fans and hatewatchers into events that are just speedrunning. That said some will see events being mentioned and invent an entirely different event in their heads to be disappointed to not see.

Fuckers were even angry that ASM had long RPG runs on at night, when most of the posting about ASM over the years has been about it's comfy 9+hour overnight runs, like with the smiling dude and the lumpy pumpkin posting.

>>717981337
>lumpy pumpkin posting.
THE LUMPY PUMPKIN

>>717981337
>Fuckers were even angry that ASM had long RPG runs on at night
Love long RPG runs - as long as it's not FF13. What's Metako doing these days by the way? Can't remember any appearance on any event in recent times.

>>717982057
Those runners are an absolute treasure, and in hindsight it makes so much sense that most of them are ASM staff with the vibe that has.

>>717982243
>What's Metako doing these days by the way?
Work commitments I think, he's shown up at a few events but not as much running, I think he was at last year's BSG or the year before where they gave him a camera and basically let him go full Daz challenge screwing about.

>>717982243
>What's Metako doing these days by the way?
We'll never know the truth.

>>717983251
Probably not the whole thing, though there's enough that's become known about the mismanagement and how staff were being treated for not going along with the bad/impractical ideas that Pinky and Perky had to make an educated guess.

>>717982334
Leonis neither, was looking for him at the european events, but nothing. Would be a shame if those two were lost due to the recent controversies, loved their runs. Mizzow, well, no doubt he's trying, but it's just not the same.

>>717983251
Man, that bugs me more than it should. I really want to hear his side of the story. I don't even want him to shit on ESA or whatever, just want to know whether he'll be back, and where he plans to go.

>>717983570
None of that ever applied to the Metako situation though.

>>717983592
>Leonis neither
There's quite a few RPG runners that have been absent, we've not seen bowie for ages either.
>Mizzow, well, no doubt he's trying, but it's just not the same.
Feels like he's fallen off too, his Vivi% run wasn't nearly as fun as the previous time he ran it, felt like he was trying to force it to compensate for a lack of the casual hangout setup that ESA Legends had.

>>717983627
He was head of fundraising, and I think Das mentioned him as having been there and been very silent during the meeting with Edenal about scrapping scheduling but wanting her and Ben to stick around and handle the fuckups from that.

A fair few other staff pastebins basically painted the age old upper management ego issue picture of them clearing house and wanting to cycle fresh teams to keep them from getting their own ideas about performing their jobs.

>>717984065
Metako's departure was unrelated to Edenal's upper management ego trip. Das is already an unreliable messenger.

>>717984143
Hi Planks.

>>717984173
Planks is not involved in the Metako reason either. Though he should have been kicked off the team.

>>717984143
How to get reliable info then?

Well, who am I kidding, plaese give me a fuckton of unreliable info, I take anything by now.

wtf are you retards talking about

>>717984227
Until Metako himself gives his side of the story you're just going to have disregard most rumourmongering by drama lovers.

Manasha cute...

>>717984143
>Das is already an unreliable messenger.
The rest of the former staff must be too, huh?

>>717984476
You have made your mind up and are blind to the faults in your perception.

>>717984512
I've significant experience with volunteering at a place that had the exact same shit go down with upper management having the same stupid ideas and pushing out everybody who tried to course correct, but you do you I guess.

>>717984664
Of course you do.

>>717984476
I don't think any of the rest of the staff ever said anything about Metako. For Metako, I don't know any other statements than those from Das, which sounded reasonable, and she also sounded pretty confident about them. However, who knows through how many brains those informations went before they were posted here, so it would be nice to hear something from Metako himself. However, since this has not happened after such a long time, it is unlikely that it will ever happen. It's far more likely that the situation simply looks different fro what we know, or (and that's the most likely option for me) that he, after cooling off for a while, has decided to not fan the fires, and this would be a very reasonable decision - sadly this means that we will be left in the dark.

>>717984695
yeah im not going to put too much faith in the words of someone that stokes drama in a 4chan thread

>>717984695
Better to move on and be happy than hanging onto it.

Metako was banned for sexual harassment

All other events knows and turns a blind eye

>>717984143
>Metako's departure was unrelated to Edenal's upper management ego trip
if it was just a simple departure then why did they bleach away all metako's speedruns from ESA' youtube/twitch reruns restreams... makes you think

>>717984724
I think that's a little unfair. I mean the drama was already there, and 4chan was just confused and lusting for information. Sure, there are drama hunters here, but I'd say the majority was genuinely worried, seeing GDQ becoming more and more unwatchable over the years, and suddenly ESA was in limbo, too. Ngl I was pooping my speedpants back then.

>>717984868
>Metako was banned for sexual harassment
...of Blacktastic

Maybe we should make a collective conspiracy theory, where every anon adds a small part.

>>717984961
>I mean the drama was already there
my man she literally would swing into a thread and post gossip completely unprovoked, I saw it happen frequently

Anyway, is Stray worth playing through?

I click on the stream and its a cat girl

>>717985121
yeah, just about

>>717985121
It's ok, if a little generic once you get your head past the playing a cat gimmick.

>>717977201
That was just weebs

>>717981337
Yeah I dunno why anyone advertises in GDQ threads when all it does is cause the first day threads and possibly second day threads to be completely shit up by people here for eceleb drama and trannies. Then they get bored because its "just runs" at a spedrun event and fuck off. So its not like they stay.

>>717985348
yeah embarassing

Im wondering if weed is allowed on premise since they are in the Netherlands?

>event & thread so dead that the only way to stay on the catty is to shit talk other events
kek

>>717985434
It's funny when nobody pays them any mind but this year it was way more of them and people were taking the bait.
>>717985463
Probably but I don't think they allow smoking indoors.

Sleeping Dogs relay sounds fun but ill probably be asleep for it

yeah Stray is a fun little game, wouldn't mind a sequel frankly

Thursday's looking like a solid day overall, Yato run, Tim running Dizzy, several instances of Riekelt.

>PB
Nice
>>717986157
There's definitely room for one.

Is a cat fine too?

>>717986479
Always.

Is this dude wearing boots?

>it

every fukken time

>accidently finding new glitches live at a marathon
Beautiful.

>>717985434
that was basically these threads when dogwater started, a lot of people just started talking about how crap the event and the runs are. then again it didnt help that asm was at the same time so it could have been irate aussies.

>>717977201
>>717980659
I was put off RTA due to how they sperged out bad during threads no other thread aside from GDQ ones do that.

>>717988117
It was Day one ASM too until they got bored because it was just JRPGs and couldn't understand it was 3am in Australia. The Australian event should cater to them, the American!

>>717984961
Ask any woman in the Final Fantasy community about their experiences with Metako

He's a creep

>>717988117
Yeah there was a strange amount of bitching that Dogwater had low production values.

Made it funnier that they ended on one of those multi-game randomizers where it was done significantly better than ESA had done weeks earlier.

>>717988141
It was a guy from the ESA/GDQ threads, he used to avatarfag with gura pics till jannies got onto him

>>717988195
Those were some of the best runs too.

>>717988195
you're right, I forgot about that and it was way worse since it was on the heels of gdq just ending. i just remember dogwater bitching standing out because by that point in asm the tourists basically left but then suddenly everyone starts shitting on the dog shit event for being dog shit.
>>717988246
>Made it funnier that they ended on one of those multi-game randomizers where it was done significantly better than ESA had done weeks earlier.
it was better than the one BSG had yesterday too. i loved that they switched between games fairly often, during interesting parts of each game.

>>717988448
>but then suddenly everyone starts shitting on the dog shit event for being dog shit.
It seemed not unlike the period of time where ESA had started to be brought up during GDQ threads, where you got console wars-like shitflinging because you can only watch one.

>>717988448
>>717988605
I fucking loved dogwater, My only complaint is that it was at odds with ASM, which was also great. Dogwater should go all in and schedule same time as GDQ instead. Wouldn't be surprised if that would actually get them more viewers.

Wait, never mind, it would ruin the Dogwater threads, so that would be a huge no-no.

>>717988889
I was hoping for a bigger drunk trainwreck than we got, but it was still pretty good

>>717988889
They did say that they didn't intend to run at the same time but it was too late to change the date by the time they figured it out.
>>717989131
It would have been hard to top Pete nearly passing out in the bathroom after going for a shit, I still think it was pretty funny it got as bad as it did.

Neither thread doing well, imagine if that autist hadn't caused such a scene.

Good run, despite the overestimate. Randomly checked in the past few days and wasn't really feeling BSG. Lots of gimmick runs that just wasn't interesting. This was the first run that kept my attention the whole way through.

>>717990601
Problem is people tool the bait and now are very defensive about it.

>>717990950
It's a pretty neat game, shame he got fucked by accidently discovering a new glitch.

>>717990964
its got the worst kind of weebs in it, the clap because japan, boo anything non japan type. I just can't take self loathing westerners calling other westerners gaijin seriously at all.

>>717991053
Was thinking about a rating joke, where every RTA run would be rated SSS, because Japan. But didn't bring it up, had no intention of fueling the fire.

>>717991203
Best to not tempt that shit, fuckers were trying to rate ASM for the first few days.

>>717991020
Yeah wasn't planning to watch it since it seemed like the type of game that is only made to bait nostalgia. But the run itself was pretty cool, especially towards the end with the movement tech. Rest of the day doesn't seem that good, but this run kinda convinced me to at least give the runs a try.
>shame he got fucked by accidently discovering a new glitch.
And also apparently controller issues. Could have been a trainwreck, but instead a solid run despite the problems.

i was gone for 2 minutes and hat game is over? slow the fuck down

I've been playing a neat little arcade game called Utopia Must Fall on the other monitor.

I love how 50% of these comments are most likely just Riekelt posting and bumping from the same location

>>717991601
That's just clips from old stuff, they especially do it to mess with Riekelt a bit.

>>717991837
There's probably that other anon as well, the one who owns Oneanus.

>>717991836
i'm getting a seizure just from the trailer, also
>ea

>>717991837
If Riekelt were here, there would be more cute and funny posting

>>717991837
Based Riekelt shitposting the hell out of the event.

More like Reddiekelt

>>717990601
Keep begging for the merge buddy, it's not going to happen.

While I'm sure there is some overlap between RTA and BSG, what I don't understand is why you can't just look at 2 threads. I would much rather have 2 "dead" on-topic threads than a single thread where it takes 3 seconds to work out if a post is about event A or B because if you go "man this guy on screen has a stupid shirt", how am I supposed to know what you're talking about?

With ASM and dogwater, maybe there was more overlap, I don't know, I don't watch a lot of events. But there are multiple spergs in the other thread who have no interest in BSG, and the solution to that isn't to go "I don't care I like both events lets talk about both here", the solution is 2 threads.

>>717992175
fuck off guraspic

>>717992175
> if you go "man this guy on screen has a stupid shirt", how am I supposed to know what you're talking about?

You sound like a drooling retard.

>>717991969
If you like Missile Command/Galaga/arcade games in general, it's great. I've already put 45 hours into it.

>>717992175
>I don't know, I don't watch a lot of events.
Why are you even here?

>>717992175
this guy is obviously correct.

>>717992386
Attention.

ACK

>>717992175
I for one am glad this retarded homo is not in the other thread. So maybe this drama faggot has a point.

>>717992175
>I don't watch a lot of events
Yeah it's clear you do, because it's normal to combine the threads for smaller events. ASM and dogwater had no problem coexisting, we had ESA and RPGLB overlap despite both having way more traffic. Last year there was some retard that also tried to split the BSG and RTA threads, which lasted a day until people realized it didn't work and we went back to a shared thread. There is just a single sperg this year that is baiting, which people should just have ignored. That sperg is probably you, considering your first sentence. So have your (you). And if you're not, you're a newfag that is taking a single spergout serious while not knowing how it has been done for previous threads. So why should we take your opinion serious?

You can have a single thread if you want, but that would require you guys to ignore the samefagging schizo, which seems beyond the capabilities of anons here.

>>717991836
I've been chilling out idly farming on Fantasy Life i.

Gonna be real, never been a fan of blindfolded runs

>>717993250
It can be impressive like with the time TMR did turbo tunnel blindfolded, but a lot of the time it's pretty tragic.

>>717993250
Guys, I have to admit: As long as it's not a blindfolded 2p1c randomizer Archipelago multiworld $25 crowd control 4way relay race coop dance showcase tutorial of GeoGuessr, I'm not going to watch.

>>717993701
Nobody wants to watch you anymore, Havrd.

>>717991836
Been playing Hitman Freelancer on my other monitor. The grind gets real boring now because its mostly leader kills left to do, and seeing as you only get 4 leaders per campaign, it's tedious as fuck.
>leaders are every 3, 4 ,5 and then 6 levels
>some rng to it too like using a fibre wire on leaders wearing a necklace
>kill leaders in a bunch of different ways 10+ times
I love the game, but fuck me this is so tedious. I wish it was leaders or members, you get like 1-4 members in a non-leader level.

>>717993801
B-but... I could wear a silly hat next time?

I bet you even bite them.

Time to filter those Americans.

i know she says pokeballs, but i hear fuckeballs

aetienne brought his gf for this run

>>717996237
Understandable.

>>717996237
cute

Did I miss the Pokemon run? I was watching ds9. Was it any good?

>>717997376
It was pretty cool, it wasn't the full broken as fuck done in two minutes run so stuff was actually going on.

>>717997376
short pokemon runs are always good, though it was a glitch run

>>717997376
it was short and sweet yeah

>>717981337
I've seen a lot of posts like this but I don't really know what people were expecting. Anons kept talking up ASM and then for most people it was a succession of long night time low energy runs.

I thought it was a pretty solid event BUT the expectation that people would know ahead of time that it was an event organised by JRPG speedrunners is just asinine. I've been watching speedrun events for years and I barely know who any of these people are, let alone the seemingly endless gossip that surrounds a bunch of runners. But now I'm complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining during an event that's over so I digress.

IMO ASM managed to be good during sleepy time hours, even the Pokemon run managed to be enjoyable. There were a few dull runs but it's the night shift so whatever. I feel like the bigger problem with JRPG runs is that if they aren't good then you are stuck for 4 to 8 hours (like basically every Pokemon GDQ run).

Also dogwater actually lived up to the HOIPE

>>717991836
>>717993984
For me it's been the Cities Skylines - Natural Disasters scenarios. They are unnecessarily long, but don't actually require much effort, so I've been trying to wrap them up.

ofcourse the thread is dead, they take too long to set up the fucking run

Thanks tech crew

>>717998935
just bumb it once it reaches page 10 in cases like that

Shoutouts to our lad Riekelt.

>>717999061
I did, thread almost died yesterday

>>717999143
its died a few times, it happens no big deal

>>717999143
well, there's probably like 5 people in here and they're busy playing video games and watching the stream and giving me (You)s

>>717999243
>busy playing video games

>>717999185
Yeah, it's not the end of the world if it dies overnight or something.

woah that's a lot of buttons

I love having two knobs to hand.

>>717999627
Tim transcends world boundaries

>>717999752
Tim is Juffo-Wup,

Does Tim have another run?

>>718000069
Dizzy run on Thursday, Manic Miner on Friday, quality stuff.

That's a pretty cool controller, more impressive than plastic guitar shit at least.

where are you guys watching, twatch or jewtube?

>>718000786
Youtube has way less ad bullshit to deal with and being able to rewind the stream back up to twelve hours.

>>718000898
>ad bullshit
are you guys still unable to block ads on twitch?

>>718000898
Youtube app on tv has as bad as ads as twitch they will eventually make the desktop and mobile versions like that. It has been getting worse recently.

>>718000973
Ads are geotargeted and they throw a lot more shit to get around adlockers at some regions.

>>718000973
I'm able to disable them sometimes but they always come back for the next event, or even during events. The irony is that the only ads I get are for
>Women's shampoo
>Premium Cat food
>Some movie with the lawyer guy from Breaking Bad
>Expensive headphones
And I don't care about any of them

>>718001010
>>718001614
It's an endless arms race, Amazon just have a lot more expendable money to throw at it than Google do.

put your hands up in the air

>>718000786
Twitch (ttvlol to block ads) as the stream is better quality

>>718001614
non of the traditional adblockers work for me for some reason, but a script for tempermonkey does
>>718001946
ttvlol didn't work for me during esa, so i just gave up on that

look here:
https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions

>>718000973
Twitch is very aggressive against adblockers. In my experience uBlock Origin has about 50/50 rate of success on that site, one week it works, the other it struggles.

I've trained my mind to look past the ads and directly into the stream. No extra software needed, only a terminal based browser (I don't need a media player or JavaScript either).

here's the script for tempermonkey that works for me. i found it on reddit, lmao

can you astral project to my house and let the fucking cat in? he's annoying as fuck

He went overestimate on a showcase.

>overestimate

ok the controller was cool but fuck off

>overestimate
>still wants to play another song on a showcase
based autist

Any staff in the thread with us?

is this an add ofr the game or the controller?

atleast he's having fun

>>718002898
No, it's an obscure as fuck Konami game and the controller is a custom job he had made, stop thinking everything is an ad.

>>718003193
>the controller is a custom job he had made
that's the kind of autism i can respect

>>718003193

It's a Faucetwo, when he said "custom" he just meant he chose different options than stock on their site.

>>718003193
I just found out Jewnami charges 1800 yen or 18 euros per month for this game. What the fuck.

>>718004360
I'm fine with it not being GDQ-tier threads swapped every 30 mins.

>>718004434
There's a lot of that, and some circlejerky shit with the communities getting people banned for finding ways to play offline.

This is the runner of the next game, say something nice about cat.

>>718004558

If I remember right, they found a way to get practice without it updating the leaderboard shit, and then hitting significantly better times/scores on live. For that they were spam reported.

>>718005439

>>718010448
I guess you could use the twitch window-in-window feature to place the video over your browser tab with the thread active.

>>718010230
No more than ESA or GDQ, just without the constant skits and Skenmy gurning at the camera.

poor dude doesnt have a friend to play so he has to play with himself

>>718012475
At least it wasn't 2 players 1 cup.

>>718010809
No, it's definitely more today

This looks like The Binding of Isaac on steroids.

ded thread. anything interesting on the schedule coming up?

>>718019297
Looks like 9 hours from now C&C, not sure how the next game is but then it's 5 hour movie followed by our Dutchman.

>>718010735
Tricrow running as Tricrow while the Tricrow music plays and the commentators are also Tricrow... peak BSG energy, never let this event go mainstream.

I want to see the Bluey race but the time for it is ass.

RTA and BSG should just share a thread instead of this retardation

dead nigga general

>>718027782
both events aren't doing too hot this time around. oh well, can't always have bangers.

DQ slime Zelda seems like a cool idea for a game.

>>718028150
Speedrun fatigue. Everyone wants their own little event and we end up with 10-15 events every year.

>>718028575
Many of these events have been going a lot longer than most anon realize, it's just that they were content to GDQ and maybe ESA.

BSG has had threads last two or three days before.

>>718029039
They definitely 'live' longer but they aren't really active. Maybe anons like that but ESA threads for me are the perfect speed and amount of anons.

>>718029445
I dunno, those get somewhat padded the fuck out by the rate spam, I'd say ASM is more comfy for me, though possibly more on the scale of last year's one than this year's where it was skewed by being after ESA and GDQ and getting hyped up in those threads.

Honestly, yeah. Imagine a top-down adventure where you play as a lone Slime trying to rescue Princess Gooma from Ganon's dungeon, armed with only bounces and consumable spells. Slime Link with a tiny shield sounds more iconic than whatever ToTK was doing.

>>718046241
That'd be cool, I realized I'd been missing the GBA and GBC eras of Zeldas and what they brought to the party with stuff compared to "here's a bigass world to just get lost and make dicks in".

Yato in the crowd looking bored as fuck.

>bluey
finally, some real videogames

What the gives with adults going nuts over this shit anyway? People I work with won't shut up about their love for it.

>>718048952
It's probably just a decent show that parents watch with their kids, but with how they go on about it, you'd half expect it to have a realistic depiction of a panic attack

>>718049034
>but with how they go on about it, you'd half expect it to have a realistic depiction of a panic attack
Yeah it's really weird, fuckers go on about it like it's the next Game of Thrones to them.

Tech sure is in a jolly mood today.

Tim on the telly. Just in time for my sandwich

The mainline Dizzy games are a hell of a drug, Tim's got massive balls for running them.

someone post the TinyTim looks at your cock webm

I swear no color would be better than Speccy color

It's impressive that he's nailing just about all the jumps first time, the eggy bastard has the worst jumping and an utter fucking lack of air control.

is it called the zx spectrum because you need to be on the spectrum to enjoy these games?

thanks for shouting me out tiny tim!!

>>718055571
das rite

Man this feels like the most average game they could possibly made.

>>718055571
It's because you can't be on the Y spectrum

>>718052334
Competent RPG from a relatively small Western studio, plus being a game that wasn't from an already established brand.

>>718056210
It's a very nice platformer. I'd run it myself if the writing weren't bad and the cutscenes skippable

Posting hobnobs in a bsg thread.

>>718056496
true, people easily forgive jank and bugs as long as it isn't a fucking 500million dollar project. and if that game is above average in what it does or offers any kind of novelty, it's already a goty contender

Nice buttcrack on tech

>>718057476
It's definitely got that underdog status alongside that it's just something of a departure from what's expected, which I think does it favors too.

In some ways I class it in the same grouping as E.Y.E, just with a way bigger budget.

>>718059289
