A guy went around sniffing a chair that a girl had been sitting in. I don't know if he sniffed other chairs but I definitely saw him sniff hers.

not so much "their" greed as amazon's greed, since amazon profits from as many people hearing about gdq and thus twitch/their business in entirely positive ways, and nobody's gonna run a news story about how people can't comment cringe emotes on a charity stream.

GulagDolls posted:

a dude dropped his water bottle and stooped down to pick it up, and people clipped it out of context so it looked like he was sniffing the chair a woman was sitting at just before that

crowd cam was probably cut to avoid anyone getting harassed like that

For FZero pc fans, there's http://store.steampowered.com/app/517710/Redout_Enhanced_Edition/ which is on sale right now.

It's nuts how long it's been since the last release.

Basically, any version of the clip that doesn't end at exactly that spot shows that his head is bent down for a fraction of a second before he stands up with the thing he was picking up in his hand.

redout's drat good, great game if you like edm/trance. I dunno if it has VR but it'd probably be really loving fun in VR, I kept finding myself leaning into my chair every time i started taking turns real hard and fast.

yeah crowd cam didnt really provide anything of value aside from ds dad and the guy who did messages on monitors so I don't miss it.

But I like the wall of emote spam every time cool poo poo happens and so far Trihex chat is entirely that. Thanks Trihex.

These sorts of runs are always really impressive, but my general watching preference is for really goofy, weird runs or very condensed, high skill runs. Fortunately, GDQ's big enough these days to cater to lots of differing tastes.

There is such a thing as a run being so safe it loops around to being actively detrimental to maintaining audience engagement due to sheer boredom, and this run is the epitome of that.

They've died multiple times, they aint sleepwalking through this. They're just good enough to do these absurdly difficult techniques this consistently.

I don't doubt that it's very technically difficult to do consistently but a run that involves 1:20 of the same trick done over and over again is uh

well you better have some good commentary, is all
