It is really, really good. They've done a few variants, including one where it was pink which might have been my favorite beer ever.

Man, I'm stuck in Brazil, we have some good beer but it's prohibitely expensive, especially when you're out of a job. :smith: That looks mighty tempting. I had some Bell's Two Hearted Ale courtesy of an American friend recently and I kinda wanna marry that beer.

"Glitchless" is arbitrary as all hell, but the run would probably be 6 hours long if it was more properly glitchless.

Are there any games that didn't manage to snag the #1 spot on Twitch during their slot?

https://twitter.com/gdqisno1

I made a bot for tweeting when a game is #1. There were major League of Legends and CS:GO events during this week so there are big gaps where GDQ's game isn't the highest rated.

Should also point out that the tweets happen as soon as the stream changes titles so even if a game loses viewers, it can coast on the #1 rank the previous game finished with. http://irc.alligatr.co.uk/sgdq16/ is a much better way to gauge viewers of a run.

Skipping the owl was totally a glitch gently caress that.

The sword power thing I can accept that was programmed behavior that was just stupid

i would assume small exploits to save a few seconds are fine but no "clipping out of bounds and falling into the boss rooms loading zone" skips

I guess I can sort of understand some leeway in what is/isn't considered a glitch because you could argue really anything that isn't the dev intended route is a glitch and I think stuff like frame perfect jumps to a ledge you were supposed to solve a puzzle for is fine but swapping weapons back and forth to bug out navi talking to your or dialogue triggers like the owl seems like something that should objectively be considered a glitch.

When he fell off the wall and so navi still explained how to climb vine seemed to pretty explicitly suggest that not seeing it the first time was a bug that he intentionally exploited.

lots of these aren't even glitches, they're just really precise controller inputs and in depth knowledge of how the game works

I haven't watched any of this season's GDQ, so I looked to this thread to catch up. After seeing more posts than the Star Citizen thread, I decided to just read through Eonwe's contributions since that's about the right pulse I think. After reading those 10 pages of posts (best of which being the "Brazzers" image), I feel like I've seen it all. Thanks, Eonwe. And thanks, thread. I still have to watch Animorphs from one of the last few seasons, so I'm off to do that now.

that doesn't matter anymore because the current optimal route is only possible on the japanese vc version

every aspect of speedrunning this game is contentious and a consensus will probably never be reached. it's unlike any other game's community in that regard

If OoT was ported by Chinese programmers I wouldn't be surprised if you could warp to the credits from Link's house
