Today we celebrate all of the speedruns that died from our mistakes only to rise from the dead and PB three splits later

I love doing this though. Easily one of the best weeks of the year, where I get to see people who pour their passion out and help get them to the big stage. If I could make it this way GDQ would be two weeks long

gdq subcommittee week be like

Happy Easter everybody

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.

never change, discord

uhhh...sorry? #worldofwarcraft

maplestory ingame general chat is discussing the iran conflict we are so back to 2006

good april fools' day joke, arena

yesterday I started seeing speedrun vod uploads with thumbnails using the same slop format I see from local businesses on ig/fb and I'm going to assume it's a joke and that I won't see anymore after today

there is approximately a 0.0001% chance anything gets accepted lmao

i have utterly no stake in the smb drama going on but it is kind of embarrassing that a tenured runner is slapfighting a teenager over acting how i would expect a teenager who has suddenly gained prestige to act

docs.google.com/spreadsheets... ED SHEERAN: LISTENED i frankly did not expect to like him this much! my perception of his music has always been a very whitebread pop boy but he's got a surprising amount of variance. he does love doing wedding songs and sadboy songs though

watched chariots of fire tonight. still holds up letterboxd.com/amyrlinn/fil...

If not wanting to raise taxes is a conservative position, then fine, but I don't want taxes raised because this country wastes the money they're already taking from me on things that nobody needs like DHS, ICE, and the commercial military industry.

re requiem might be the game that's led to the most amount of bad posts on r/speedrun because it's just people writing "got [x] time" with no video or sometimes even no screenshot attached, there have been soooooo many since the game launched

Me: [Watching March Madness] Announcer: They only have 0.3 seconds to get a shot off here before time runs out Me: Okay, that's like 18 frames, that's free

uhhh i don't think i'm being hyperbolic when i say this might be the biggest change i've ever seen made to a game

I wrote about the Afroman trial

there should be letterboxd but for youtube video essays

when I was reading these books at 9 years old I was like "yeah this is a normal amount of food for someone really hungry to eat" but now at 33 years old I think this much food in one go might straight up kill me

tag yourself

ultimately there is no real appetite in the ecosystem for particularly serious critique of even moderately visible indies. what people want is to hear about all the cool games coming out with breathless enthusiasm so they can ignore all of them and play slay the spire two instead.

My UIM has the best gear in the game. Now it's time to use it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntPm...

very funny that I go "the problem with speedrunning nowadays is that everything is shoved into discord servers" and someone responds "well if it's organized correctly it's fine. My main games, Hollow Knight and Silksong," like yeah you would think it's fine, you run extremely popular games lol

i think hearing yipes say "long neck brandon" once fundamentally altered my brain chemistry

THIS IS FOR ALL MY LADIES WHO DONT GET HYPED ENOUGH
