OT: the guy who read the 'cancer killed 12 people in France' comment got banned from donation reading, kinda bullshit since he clearly had no idea it was a reference.

More modern TVs have longer display lag. It's only fractions of a second but it matters.

There was a comment that referred to the 12 killings in France today as '12 deaths by cancer.' Reader didn't know what that was referring to, seems he got told he can't read donations anymore for this GDQ.

Much tighter speed requirement to reach master rank so they're forced to play as quickly as possible from the start

When poo poo is going this fast, even the 1-2 frame lag that a non-CRT has would make the game unplayable.

Apparently he was banned because this guy started flipping out on Twitter about an alleged "rape joke" and how the event was turning into "let's offend everyone" because the commentator made a mistake and read a troll comment.

I bet by the time the donation was made, 99% of the nerd were too busy with hasty let's plays to check the news. Especially since this is international news for them.
Shame the guy who read it got banned.

I'm surprised they banned him considering how regularly troll comments slip in. It isn't even the first time it's happened today. That's kinda bullshit.
