Hey, we learned a lot about the hotel shuttle bus at AGDQ 2017's run, it wasn't all bad.

Pastebins take a little time. By the end of the event people got enough noise complaints that a staff kinda told them "there's no guest rooms on floor7" so that turned from a smallish gathering to a party in the hallway complete with a beerpong table and a bucket of booze no one was guarding. Eventually staff came with 1 local cop and broke it up. Im actually pretty sure that if the booze cooler was off to the side and there was someone at least pretending to check IDs the hotel wouldn't have cared, at least not as much.

I was initially a part of the "lol an eight hour RPG run" crew so here's a confession: I actually liked the Final Fantasy VII run. The commentary was top notch.

Yeah even the idiot from the JSRF commentary realized he was being an idiot about his reaction to being warned.

He made a bad joke that without knowing what he was going for could sound like a really dumb xenophobic comment. After the run off stream when gdq staff warned him about it he tried to defend it and they didn't budge. Then after losing an argument about his jokes landing he thought that was a good time to try for an "ironic references to self-harm" joke and didn't understand why they asked if he needed help. See, I feel dumber even writing that out there's no good drama anymore.

I heard that people from the BotW community were super pissed that Orca submitted it despite everyone else abstaining until better runs could be developed. This, of course, due to the nature of horrible shutin internet nerds, immediately shifted to "they did it because they're a loving tranny".

There's definitely a group of lovely people that attach themselves to any speedrun drama with the express purpose of poo poo talking GDQs, Narcissa, or other trans runners.

Yeah it's pretty funny that people were trying to claim they had an organized BOTW running community to make decisions not to submit with how close the deadline to submit was to the game coming out.

It's petulant man-children having to take care of somehow even more petulant man-children, they kind of have to stamp out any sense of fun because the people they have to deal with at these things don't know how to reign something in and not make asses of themselves. On the plus side they end dumb poo poo like the MAGA hat tards but the down side is you get dumb poo poo like banning Bonesaw for a year and making mountains out of mole hills.

Bonesaw being banned for "having fun" is one of those zombie lies that will never go away because reddit diaper babies are convinced GDQ is staffed by scowling old dowagers

Bonesaw's Jak run was super funny but he shouldn't have encouraged people to spam Air Canada's twitter. I don't know why the staff was so adamant about him not making Owen Wilson jokes though.

imo we shouldn't be so smug about bonesaw's "permanent ban with permanent prejudice for being a cool fun dude" narrative being perpetuated outside of here since I saw misinformation being thrown around by regulars constantly in the spam thread last week :/
