its like a parade of depressing comments

did they get instructions to read more shoutouts from people affected by cancer?

IIRC yes they are supposed to.

As much as I just tend to ignore them, I don't have a problem with them. The juxtaposition doesn't really diminish the fact that this is an event to raise money for charity. At worst it's a bit annoying but at best it gets more people to give.

They always read sad as gently caress donation messages since forever while any type of game is playing, since literally forever. Get over it guys

I don't think it's inherently bad but there's definitely a dissonance when someone's talking about how all their family died and you have mario going YAHOO in the back

it feels...disrespectful? Not that the donater can help it but that's the vibe

I feel like the best races are generally under an hour. Longer ones tend to rack up mistakes or time-saves and unless you get some happy accidents or unforeseen problems, then the lead doesn't change all that much.

I've never actually watched a Fire Emblem run but I know the game is slow and boring as hell (good though) so I'm not too excited :(

IMO it's not the fact that they read sad comments, so much as they choose really awkward times to read them, or follow them up with jokey comments.

I love Spike "Two Anime Character Names Mashed Together" Vegeta but I feel like he's the most guilty out of any of the donation readers of just, not reading the mood and saying donation comments in order, as he gets them, instead of when they're appropriate.
