It's sort of weird watching this run, because I've watched northernlion play this game for so long I actually know what they're talking about

but yeah these two are sort of boring, and necrodancer will be loving great

You are actually about an hour late because you missed an awesome Rogue Legacy run that is a perfect example of why good commentary can massively elevate a run.

Shame too since BoI and especially Rebirth is a really fun game.

Yeah, I suck at the game but I still really like it.

Either good commentary or a fair race are kind of necessary to make this entertaining but without either it's not particularly interesting. Shame too since BoI and especially Rebirth is a really fun game.

Really quite silly indeed.

I don't really buy their excuses for running non-seeded runs, at least at a marathon. Just randomize a seed before the start of the race and only let the runners know it when they're about to start, and screencasting is kind of hard to do in a marathon without getting caught (just sit the runners across from each others). Guess it might be harder when racing over the net, though.

But again, I'm sure this'll be worked out by the time BoI:Rebirth becomes viable to speedrun this year.

One of them had some explanation about like, seeding runs isn't good because then if you die you can catch up faster because you'll know where the good/bad stuff is??? Sounded like nonsense to me

This is slow as hell for such an early Guppy. Were they doing no resets or something? Why did Slack keep this run?

Even if it was a seeded run the race wouldn't be close at all because the guy on the right doesn't really seem to be speedrunning


edit: i added the essential word "be" to my post. thanks

Original BOI doesn't support seeding by default, by the way. The only way I know to do it is to use spidermod which also has cheat features, so people are also nervous about that.

Maybe people need to chill and race for fun and charity in this stream meant for fun and charity instead of caring about any of that. This is a bad race no matter how you look at it.

I mean if they kept the music on you could of at least listened to a nice soundtrack during this boring race rather than the sound of endless crying.

Yeah, would've liked the music to be on, too. The soundtrack is rather nice for both BoI and Rebirth, after all.

Nah if they did seeded here it'd be fine, just saying why *normal* races, especially ones for money, don't use seeds.
