It's the combination of super-depressing donation messages and cheery mario kart music that gets weird. I'm glad people are donating.

I kinda wish they would start picking messages to read that didn't involve donator's father, uncle, nephew, and brother all dying of cancer. ed: holy poo poo i was being hyperbolic, but that was an actual message  ed2: actually i take it back, i just want them to end this terrible DKR segment Synastren fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Jan 5, 2015 |

Some of you sound really selfish.The point of donation readings is not for the viewer's personal entertainment. If you don't understand why the readings may drive a person that is a surviving family member of somebody affected/killed by the disease to donate money and leave message about what circumstances lead them to donate then I don't know what to tell you other than you are probably an rear end in a top hat.

I'm not at all against people donating because they have a personal stake in the cause; that's great and fine and fantastic. My concern is what was alluded to about people lying about losses in order to get their 20 seconds of internet fame, and the surprising number of people who have suffered losses in the last

You guys should have seen earlier marathons before they learned to filter better, it was literally hours of non-stop depressing stories of inordinate length about people dying from cancer. There were novels written and they read everything.

Depressing comments are the only ones that have any actual content to read though. Look at the tracker, and apart from that it's all dumb memes and variations on "first donation/gently caress cancer/I love [game]/save the animals." I can see why they want to read some comments, and the vast majority of the non-depressing ones aren't worth the energy it would take for the announcer to open their mouth.

Yeah no kidding, it's like a 24/7 Smathathon with him. zari-gani posted:The Yetee's site keeps going down. They recently moved to a new cloud server to prepare for the AGDQ onslaught but they're still getting hammered. On the plus side, despite the issues, they're selling shirts faster than ever and have raised over $6500 already. That's a drat good design.

With the amount of people that die from cancer there's no real reason to disbelieve them. If you live long enough, you will know people who develop cancer. It's just a little off-putting to juxtapose these really somber messages with a dumb fun video game event. Sucks the energy out of it, and they need all the energy they can get with this DKR marathon. Basically they need someone to be hyped about this, whether it's someone on the couch or the announcer.

They've done that before, looks weird when it isn't full and the sound is harder to control.
