Any word if they've got the dev on for commentary on the upcoming Boshy 100% run? That should be pretty impressive to watch.

I'd not be too surprised if Solgryn's new game - Wings of Vi - started showing up in *GDQ events in the nearish future. It's designed to be cruelly hard, but not unfair like IWBTG or Boshy, so you can see all the obstacles and they behave consistently.

This is actually pretty entertaining, it's really close and InfestedRichie managed to catch up despite dying early on.

Edit: He's actually ahead now.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

NAh, I saw it. I guess I heard it backwards. Also PPT was funny, but what more can they do with it?

I think I actually appreciate the brightness discrepancy between runners from a readability perspective. i think they might look too samey otherwise. I might just be an idiot though

This is a really good game for a race, especially since the runners agreed to a catch-up mechanic to help keep things really close.

They agreed to hit all the checkpoints, but early in the race they agreed that if they die they can skip the next checkpoint.

It was just a cute little narrative about looking into their eyes and letting them die. Not really worth going back to, I just appreciate some effort.

Is that cosmo? I mean, probably not, but everyone seems confused about it.

It'd be hilarious if cosmo came just to three runs, one being 15 minutes, and the other two being 5 minutes

e: Oh, lol, he's not the runner, the runner is just in the bottom corner for some reason with cosmo in the middle of the frame

Cosmo used to run Commander Keen quite a bit so it shouldn't be a shock that he would be there commenting.


Also, CapnClever is a hardcore DOS game runner who streams on twitch often for anyone who likes the oldschool.

Oh, that makes sense. I don't really know anything about cosmo other than the fact he's a LoZ speedrunner who wasn't running this year.
