Game looked pretty boring but Halfcoordinated beating any difficult game with only one hand is pretty amazing. Solid run overall.

He did a run last GDQ of a Transformer's game. He held a janky Optimus Prime toy in his bad hand the whole time.

Well looks like the GDQ team realized no one is going to beat Half's run so they stopped the stream.

This has been a loving rollercoaster of a day for SGDQ. I didn't think anything could be more memorable than romscout's blindfolded SotN, but here we are.

Shame I couldn't see this live, the place GDQ is held at is 1-2 hours away from me so I actually was there Sunday and Monday, but had to work today and no time to drive back tonight. Would have been cool to be there live for that.

On another note, it's storming like it's the apocalypse or something in this area right now, so I'm guessing that might be what the technical difficulties are all about.

It didn't even occur to me until I saw him reach for the cat figure that the dude actually has a disability and wasn't just handicapping himself for the sake of the run by doing it one-handed. I might be the dumbest person on the planet. :saddowns:

He was supposed to hold hands with a girl who is battling cancer and has also lost control of half of her body. Unfortunately, her condition has worsened and she couldn't travel to SGDQ. It's one of the reasons he was so emotional.

It's also why he wants the FFA girl to be named Sam.

Thanks dude. If her siblings are still here when that run happens I'll get them to see it.

Oh man that was a good run. He'd keep turning it on so the toy would speak in response to questions and stuff :kimchi:

Yeah I thought he was just a showboater when there were donation incentives for one-handed cam AND holding an Optimus Prime figure for his Transformers Devastation run in January...when they finally mentioned the reality of the situation I felt like a real heel.

Also jeez there's another heartbreaking wrinkle to that run? I can only take so much.

this cloudbuilt game is kinda unpleasant to watch

it looks fun as hell to play but the speed or the fov or something is kinda messing with me

In a completely different direction, this game is murdering the bitrate between the QuakePro FOV and whatever that sketch filter is.

It's not necessarily a bad thing? Romscout has apparently been talking to a blind person about playing SotN, so sometimes these showboating gimmicks can inspire people to start running games themselves.

I was thinking that myself, but looking up gameplay on Steam and Youtube, the camera actually looks fairly alright normally and for whatever reason I guess they just set the FOV absurdly high because :shrug:.

I tried to watch a little bit of it but it just doesn't look good on the stream. It looks awesome though so I'll try it myself sometime, it looks fun.

Also the stream is lagging like crazy here since this run started and I'm not sure if it's the game or Twitch being the throttled piece of poo poo it is sometimes.
