They also submitted their copy to Kotaku and got all the hits from that too. When you make your living off the twitchbux you tend to get a bit possessive.

Ok, I suppose that's a pretty decent reason. Hopefully GamesDoneQuick gets the videos up on the official channel fast enough to benefit from it as much as these other channels have.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
Holy poo poo how the hell did the donations jump to 1.3 million? I know Humble Bundle donated 200k but that still leaves another 200k that seemingly came out of nowhere over night. It was stuck at 910k when I went to sleep.

Nintendo, make more Wario Lands. Make Wario Galaxy and Super Wario 3d World.

Alright, short, quick summary of what went wrong with the donation tracker.

There's was a latent bug in the way that incoming Paypal notifications were processed, and one "bad" notification (not really bad but it was enough to trigger the bug) led to the creation of a donor that was in a corrupted state.

Due to details I'll go over later, that corrupted donor was enough to prevent anybody who had not donated in the past from successfully donating. I'm not 100% sure on when this happened, but judging from the Paypal notification logs it started happening on the 8th.

After sifting through some of the logs, there may be as much as :siren: $427k :siren: in donations that never got properly processed until I fixed the bug.

That said, we still have all of the notifications and can potentially "replay" them to get them properly sorted. Some of them will get replayed by Paypal itself, which is why the donation total is still rising so much even after the stream went down, as we're now getting donations from the last X hours that are being properly handled.

tl;dr: gently caress everything I'm going to bed

The donation tracker bugged out at some point and ate about 400k of donations and they're adding them manually now

If you can't substitute Smash with a D4 or D8 to determine the winner you aren't playing Smash correctly.

Nah, it's not manual. We're just either just now properly processing the incoming notifications, or figuring out how to replay the ones that are old enough that PayPal won't resend them.

If you think we're replaying 12000 donations manually you're out of your mind. :v:

It hasn't been developed yet and Melee and the smash community is populated by Spergs who are afraid of change.

Also Melee was only a competitive game by a freak combination of bugs and oversights. Sakurai actively puts in anti competitive measures to make the game "less about competition and more about having fun".

Sm4sh is a new game and they probably want to go with the game they know more technical stuff about.
