I was never able to understand that magnet beam as a kid. It always seemed to fade out of existence. I guess its just a frame error.

As a request for future AGDQs, they really need to list the AGDQ record and World records underneath the estimate. Everyone asks anyway, and someone always knows. It'd be neat to track WR progress during the run.

Feel like this would put too much pressure on the runners. GDQ record might be fine but world record is something they already are not concerned with at all, why list it so that everyone goes "hurrr so far from WR" or "hurrr so close" at the end?

The runner shouldn't be able to see it, they're just staring at the TV or whatever.

If they don't want to do WR they should at least show the runner's personal best, and maybe the GDQ record

What pressure, it's a GDQ event. They know they probably have zero chance at a world record and nobody cares, nobody watches this for WR attempts.

Runners can see like chat and Reddit and stuff like that after their run dude. They would definitely feel the pressure

The remake is a surprisingly nice speed run to watch. The original had maybe a hair too much player-hating BS to be appreciated but the new version is definitely easier to follow.

Yeah, I followed the guy who ran the SGDQ run and he's super chill and does fun runs of the remake.

I know it would be neat for you to not do a web search. There's no reason to display WRs and PBs on screen as if these are legit record attempts that people are whiffing all week. Streamers already get drops in viewership for red segment times in practice runs. You'll just have to use Google.

Or just list it on the stream since everyone is wondering what it is anyway.

Look there's no reason to not show it so whatever. :shrug:
