Good thread, good times
I'm sorry I never quoted my sources, the truth is I didn't keep track of them :negative: Needless to say, they came from reddit. Thanks for being patient as I copypasted the same dumb jokes over and over for an entire week.


:sympathy: to all speed friends. I'm looking forward to SGDQ with all of you in the summer!


We love you, Your Computer! :love: There was no doubt your sources were real.

holy poo poo, sub-only mode was a fuckin' genius move

if it really was the subs that put it over then that's worrying. i would have expected more donations considering how much Twitch grows each year, so if they are getting less then that's concerning for the future of the event.

You are the filth.



I asked this a little earlier in the thread but now it's slowed down (as most people have left :( ) I'll ask it again:

Okay serious question, and I apologise that I’m bringing this up again: if I want to start speedrunning a game, but it’s not very popular so I can’t find many resources on routes or discussion about it, what would be the best way to learn it? Just find whatever speedrun videos I can and try to do what that person is doing?

I honestly don’t know much about speed running or the community beyond GDQ events but I always want to start trying to do a specific game that I’ve mentioned before in the thread.

Donations are going to keep trickling in over the next few days, I would expect a few thousand more at the very least.

Some banks can also take awhile to process donations from debit cards. I had a $30 donation a few years ago that didn't actually get to them until almost 2 days after the event ended.

I asked Oyster about budgeting for a future GDQ a few months ago and got more or less the same recommended figure, very nice.

Also this is great advice in general and anyone wanting to attend should read.
