Goodnight crew. I'm leaving the stream running overnight so I can sleep in fits and starts with AGDQ in between like some hosed up fever dream

That sounds like a terrible loving idea.

I'm gonna do this too.

Was that before or after Skyrim? If after, then emphatically no.

Now you know how I don't like to use the sit-down gun, but this morning we just don't have time for mucking about.

It's weird seeing a Battleblock run without head swapping.

Skyrim was the next game after Infamous.

The Skyrim run involved rocketing off the back of a horse, warping time and space in the process.



And a wedding.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Skyrim had a good couch, the others had some good runs but pretty dull commentary at best.

As for GDQ picking up, I'm pretty sure it will.. I know a ton of people who won't arrive till Tuesday or Thursday or whatever, so I expect there to be a constant influx of audience members, viewers, donators and everything else.

It was a trainwreck, in that the stream crashed at the beginning, and most of the rest dropped so many frames it was the first live speedrunning slideshow podcast.

The run itself seemed alright. Apparently the frame dropping will be fixed when they upload the vod on youtube.

Not allowed to have nice things
Thanks for the too tired;didn't watch recap.

I feel like tracking donation stats and doing analysis numbers, right now, it's just the hourly values and the pace it puts us on.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t3KTgd6Qz5c5PMPKSqdUjZmcq4EbsNPk5gGa0EIfkSo/edit#gid=0

Anything anyone particularly would be curious about? I'm thinking each hour's average over the week (ex: 1-2 AM each day, 1-2 PM each day), whole day average, game by game amounts, and maybe some kind of formula that gives a "balanced" amount per game based on the hourly averages (basically, games in the middle of the night don't get as much, even if they are good, what would they get if they were midday).

If it's not too much trouble I'd love to see this plotted against previous AGDQs, with lines for when each game starts maybe (though at a point with short games you just get a blob of colour)?

Remember when Stamper got the donation reader to read a "loved one died from cancer" in an excited voice by accident? Good times, good times.

Skyrim best run of the event so far. Probably a good candidate 'til the end.

That happy cancer message was so hilarious and awful at the same time.

Yeah I'm having breakfast and it's this nonchalant platformer I've never seen, just heard, before thing with weatherman commentary. Odd but I can't say I dislike it, makes for a nice morning.

Fun fact: next game on the list (Environmental station alpha) is a Finnish-made indie metroidvania style game ... and that's about all I know about it. And the runner R3DninjaJOSH is the #1 on the leaderboard.

Need to get my shopping done but I'll wait until after that one.

People say good poo poo about ESA (not that ESA) but I never played it. It's early as gently caress here so it's not like I have anything to do, I'll probably just go grab a Coke at the bodega and enjoy my lazy Monday with some Not-Metroids.

Plotted both of last years against it (without pace). Pretty sure I can't really do game start/end markers just doing this in Excel. Also, not going to do game analysis level data at this point for previous GDQs. That seems like exponentially more effort.

I'm not much of a platformer guy but keyboard didn't cause me any problems in Rogue Legacy, Super Meatboy, and few other games.

Mind you, I grew up playing on...a perfectly legal SNES/Genesis Keyboard Controller, so I'm pretty used to using keyboard for platformers.
