Don't want to get too involved in this spat but I will just say this: "GDQ is ABUSING its power by BANNING INNOCENT PEOPLE for HAVING OPINIONS" is a tired talking point that's been blasted in alt-righter youtube thumbnails for nearly a decade.

I promised and it is finally time! The RETURN to Speedrun Bingo! Every single speedrun i've ever done (and some I haven't!) randomized into a list of 25 and we just need to achieve a bingo! Let's see what we get (No p5r i'm begging you...) www.twitch.tv/froob

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

See you all on opening day! Let's rock!

We did a thing. Watch it premiere live tonight at 10pm est, or anytime thereafter. youtu.be/uCPQGncOx-Q?...

Mostly this is my way of announcing there will be a video about season 2 of Netflix DMC on my YouTube next week (podcast/convo style like I did for season 1), but also I decided to make an edit of the season 2 opening using "Them Bones" by Alice in Chains. Link to the YouTube version in the reply.

With the busiest month in recent memory over, I finally have time to do some pragmata runs again. Want to get a decent enought time that I can submit to the boards. Leggo. www.twitch.tv/decosmic

This week the ETNA podcast is joined by @bobbyburm.bsky.social and discusses the SGDQ 2026 games list, Bobby's role on the GDQ interview team, and how Ozmourn is Bobby's biggest opp. New Episode out now on YouTube and Spotify! youtu.be/8ZX2DyWbv8Y open.spotify.com/episode/3uwU...

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

some people react really violently to this idea. this is generally because they take offense at the prospect of being out of control in their lives.

you have almost nothing to gain from spending money on self-help or body optimization books and courses. most supplements and health topics are bogus. but universal healthcare would meaningfully extend your probable lifespan.

one of the most dangerous truths of the modern era is this: all evidence-backed "wellness" and "life-extension" tactics are just basic diet and exercise. most people have very little they can do to impact their longevity besides regularly go to the doctor and get vaccinated, etc

If you're a commentator who wants to express big ideas but don't know when you can, ie if the game action feels too fast to say much, imo there are 2 main good ways to do so: -Save it for empty time like between rounds & games -Play the game well enough yourself to recognize when you might have time

Celebrating getting into SGDQ2026 with a practice run of DMC5 SE and Vanquish. More Pragmata Any% after if I have the energy. www.twitch.tv/decosmic

Even though nobody asked, ALL of us will be at SGDQ 2026!

EVERYONE HURRY, the #SGDQ2026 games list is out!! gdq.gg/games We have a lot of other submissions open now as well! Check the thread for information on the new game submission period, submission feedback, prizes, and on-site activity submissions Register for SGDQ2026: gdq.gg/sgdq-2026

The main squad of Nero/Dante/V in DMC5 will be returning to GDQ for the first time since AGDQ2020. Along with that, Vanquish Any% No LDC is on backup! To say I am beyond excited would be an understatement. Much love, and see you all in Minneapolis!

This week the ETNA podcast discusses the top 10 games of all time, also we name 100 women. New Episode out now on YouTube and Spotify! youtu.be/EGUcdrGinkU open.spotify.com/episode/2HAE...

“Jack, do you remember what today is?” “Of course Rose it’s the day that I defeated Solidus Snake on top of federal hall.” lol

seeing posts about how people will not play neverness to everness because it has ai slop is really funny. only artisanal all age gambling scams made by the finest craftsmen for me

.: STRANGER OF PARADISE :.

"new gacha #327461 uses ai generated art" wow its almost as if the whole "genre" is fundamentally anti-art who would have thought

For the first time in GDQ history, we're going overseas!!! We're heading to Germany August 28th-30th to be a part of gamescom 2026! We can't wait to see you there soon! 💙 *Stay tuned for our charity partner announcement *Run submissions open May 4th-17th

If Pragmata gets one or two more good skips, it could end up being the best speedrun of a Capcom game since DMC5. It's a shame I haven't had more time to get runs in. This has been such a busy month, and I didn't think I'd be on it this long tbh. Funny how that works out.

I'm *REALLY* excited for the SGDQ 2026 Gameslist this Friday. So much so, that I've prepared the "Unofficial SGDQ Reveal Show" where I'll be showcasing some of my personal standouts (and I may even be joined by some of my colleagues!) Tune in Friday, May 1st at 11am PT / 2pm ET twitch.tv/bryonato

Hey— so, earlier in April, I lost my day-to-day job. I wanted to take time to process two years contributing to a company leading to this moment. It doesn’t feel great, and I’m not okay. I have enough saved to weather this month’s expenses, but that will soon end. ko-fi.com/bobbeigh/goa...

The Juneteenth 2026 schedule is HERE!!! Let us know what runs you're excited for and tune in June 18-21 as we celebrate 5 years of Black Excellence with Black in a Flash! Full schedule: gdq.gg/juneteenth26 #blackspeedrunning #blackjoy

Finally, more pragmata runs www.twitch.tv/decosmic

Not for nothing, but Jane Remover would be a cool name for a Guilty Gear character.

Figures that I'd find a new speedgame and then not be able to play for days at a time. More pragmata runs tomorrow, hopefully.

This week, the ETNA podcast discusses the "About Me: Video Games" trend and gives their takes. New episode out now on YouTube and Spotify! youtu.be/Nw2GPyztLmU?... open.spotify.com/episode/01aD...

Take Two!! It was really unfortunate that I wasnt able to show off Dynasty Warriors back in January because of pc issues, but fortunately I've been given the opportunity to do it this week. I'm excited to show off this game that I've put so much effort into over the past year.

Pragmata speedruns time www.twitch.tv/decosmic

i would really like people to get over the idea that comedy is particularly dangerous to authoritarians. if it was we wouldn't be here. It's a nice thought, but the evidence ain't there.

This week the ETNA podcast discusses literally not a single thing bro this was a disaster. I guess we found out about Jaxler's deep and intense love for Huniepop at least. New Episode out now on YouTube and Spotify! youtu.be/p_Uxpuhe-pE open.spotify.com/episode/2e8B...

I threw together some tables based on the publicly visible SGDQ submissions list, just because I find this kind of data interesting. Mostly trivial at this point, but there could be more to analyze once the games list is available for comparison on May 1st. In case anyone else finds it interesting:

I have done that grid thing.

Streaming Guilty Gear sets with @decosmic.bsky.social yesterday was a great time, and many laughs were had— youtube.com/shorts/wjiy-...

Our AAPI Heritage Month Celebration is coming up from May 23-24 and run submissions are OPEN!! Submissions are open through April 23rd at 11:59PM ET! gdq.gg/AAPI-submissions

This week the ETNA podcast is joined by @carrarium.bsky.social discusses her role in GDQ's social team, Frame Fatales, and her Pax East experience. New Episode out now on YouTube and Spotify! youtu.be/d-Y5HCIlwf0 open.spotify.com/episode/3wmv...

There's this influential first person game from the mid-2000s that's a short but very tight experience, isn't gun focused, has unique gameplay mechanics, is all about platforming, only received one massively expanded sequel, and has an ending theme song called "Still Alive." No wait, there's two.

Quite frankly, I'm fucking disgusted that what originated as genuine relief and closure for a victim has metamorphosed into some kind of martyrdom undermining the system that provided that relief in the first place. A man has completely taken over the conversation, once again.

me when i register for #SGDQ2026 gdq.gg/sgdq-2026

At this point my patience for “Kingdom Hearts is so confusing” jokes is at an all time low. Oh no, you have to play the games in a RPG series to understand the story? How wild

People love to call 2014-2018 the "golden age of speedrunning" but honestly the community around speedrunning is so much better now. I do not miss the GDQ Cringe Compilations and anti-SJW grifters that took up so much of the conversation. Glad that stuff is mostly dead.
