I'm not sure why I didn't realize all the long runs are intentionally backloaded for the final day

I found it pretty refreshing that most of the marathon was shorter games. I mostly popped in and out on lunch or after work so it was nice to rarely show up at hour 3 of 6 and not get to see an entire run all night.

I think this might be a bit more fun if half the runners were on red and the other half were on blue.

You should watch the glitched run. The game is filled with :psyduck: stuff like that

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
I've never played a Pokémon game so this one definitely isn't a run aimed at me. What a weird one to have a race on.

the blindfolded any% race was also pretty hilarious if memory serves


but man, I can't follow this race at all. I have trouble keeping track of 2-way races but 4 screens at once is beyond my abilities. Guess I'll be back for TASbot

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

If you don't feel like watching Pokemon, the GDQ YouTube just added this:

I hope the glitch showcases of FF6 and Pokemon gen 1 get met because they're both some hilariously broken games and it'd inject fun into today.

So the inverted colors is built into the game? Like it's just an option? Never knew about that.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
Playing a Game Boy game on a Game Boy Color allows you to set a variety of palettes on the GBC BIOS boot screen by pressing different combinations of the D-Pad and the face buttons. Inverted is one of them.

They are playing on Game Boy Players, which are GBAs, which have GBCs built in if you play a GB/C game.
