Happy GDQ week! Per usual I'll be maintaining the VOD links on vods.speedrun.club/event/gdq/ag... and r/speedrun, check it out if you missed a run!

In May, Twitch deleted 100K speedruns among millions of other videos. With the help of ArchiveTeam and @archive.org we saved these speedruns and 500K+ other popular Twitch videos. My search tool for viewing these archives is now live! archive.speedrun.club

New highlights video! I learned a new word while playing chess against my good friend @jadeghost.bsky.social that really sums up our proficiency at the game: Blunderous

i have scraped the metadata of all 60 million active videos on twitch. any ideas on what i can do with this information? i've got a few cooking already

Huge news! ArchiveTeam has just begun saving ~100K Twitch highlights from @speedruncom.bsky.social and related websites that I discovered were at likely risk of automatic deletion by Twitch. Your computer can join the archival effort here: github.com/ArchiveTeam/...

Reading some of the really funny excerpts from the judicial opinion on the Mitchell vs Jobst lawsuit as an extremely normal Queensland judge has to navigate aggrandizing drama YouTuber bullshit.

Another vinesauce bit I did. The king wonders what's for dinner #animation #vinesauce #zelda

There are ~90K Twitch highlights submitted to speedruncom that are scheduled to be deleted. I'm personally mirroring as many as I can in HD to a new YouTube channel (with help from @notquiteapex.net) and working with ArchiveTeam to get a 480p archive (~100 TiB) into the Internet Archive!

My girlfriend plays a game that blocks you from naming characters inappropriately, but for some reason it blocks a ton of normal names like "Valerie" or "Fiona" or "Hailey" or "Squidward" or "Sean" so she asked me to look at the game's code to find out why… 🧵

seriously looking into a mass archival of twitch highlights from srcom

How it feels to play Bowser Castle in Mario Kart DS

GOCK

*tv commercial voice*: i was a wimp before anchor arms. now i'm a jerk, and everybody loves me #splatoon #agent3 #captain3

felt like GDQ was in a bit of a lull for a few years but these past few events have been really good, i love all the new details like the break channels and predictions and ui updates, i love the increasingly absurd (/pos) runs (nsmbw piano, crazy taxi),

ATTENTION I got Bosco a vibrating ball for Christmas. That is all.

i really really love the mystery boxes in mario 3d land because half of them are just "In front of you is a loaded gun and Jimmy the Blinglelorp. He is unarmed and you have 10 seconds to kill him for a cash prize"

2 years ago I responded to a Tweet from @shankmods.bsky.social It turned into an unforgettable adventure Shank is a great storyteller, and the video he made chronicling the whole ordeal is truly something special Even if you have no interest in CRTs, it’s worth a watch! youtu.be/JfZxOuc9Qwk?...

what even does karl jobst have to gain by calling out 3 minutes of content from a nearly 3 year old video. a cheap segue? maybe, but wouldn't it've been more compelling if the segment was an example of how to "do it right"? wouldn't it embolden his later suggestions on how to "do it right"?

okay, we're starting with this Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already! Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting) Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

Mario Odyssey BINGO but Smallant can TELEPORT!

Mario Kart DS

just want everyone to know my system clock is one minute ahead of yours so please take that into account when reading my tweets thanks

Every Glitch & Error in FNaF 1 through 7, explained in one video. Took me way too long, but it's done.

trans women are you actually following sketchy online name change guides which give you low res scientific studies to print out to petition to the court against having your name published in a newspaper or are you just paying someone to do it (and if so whats the cost)

🚨SPEEDRUNNER PSA🚨 While I'm sure most people already know this, reminder for new runners that submitted to AGDQ to leave a copy of the game you submitted under your pillow on Thursday night (Games List Eve). If you wake up and it's gone, congratulations, you got in!

We are once again offering "candy and/or a potato" this Halloween, and I'm VERY pleased to report that one mom just asked her kid, "Is this the potato house you were looking for?!"
