Oh hey, they want 3 more minutes to show off a cool glitch. NOPE sorry you're like two hours behind thanks to SOTN setup. This should have been scrapped entirely. :colbert:

oh my god start donating as like anit zoe and others during it.

I am tempted to do a donation as Anita S. During the zelda blindfold run asking "It is god to see video games doing something positive for a change. I have one question for you all though, what if Zelda was a girl?"

That's a great idea Al.

I'm conflicted because that sounds boring but that's a pretty good speedrun

It's on PC so the setup would take an hour.

I would be legit interested in an MMO speedrun, exploiting all kinds of poo poo on a private server or something.

Well even when they have bugs or whatever it's usually just hours and hours of grinding the same poo poo. It's really not interesting at all, trust me

This is why they did this. The routing was the fun part of putting together an Animal Crossing speedrun.

True. It's just not fun to watch the entirety of it being done, it would have worked better as a 10 minute YouTube video with narration and frequent fast-forwarding.

It's nice being able to take a break from the stream without feeling like you are missing something though.

There aren't really interesting ways to speedrun WoW other than stacking EXP boosts.

imo a glitch showcase rather than a speedrun woulda been way better than what we got

generally

-glitches that skip parts of the level
-avoiding fps drops (in older games)
-killing bosses quickly
-very specific use of weapons/route/bombs/etc
-beating the game without dying

i think games like gradius and r-type have even been at *gdqs before... ikaruga too?

sf64 several times, as well. probably others.

It's been a thing since vanilla.

And I honestly don't care because it's not any worse than speedrunning any other video game. It would just be boring as gently caress for people to watch.
