Yes, because rampant racism and transphobia is totally the funny version of "talking poo poo", which is exactly what it became before they put sub only on.

emote spam, anything putting down boring runs (time for lowtax to ban people for hating that secret of evermore run), lack of high quality shitpost emotes. some of the funniest parts of GDQ for me were when people started spamming so much gachiBASS after a runner says something like "deep thrust" during the bloodborne run that the gifs would cause streams to stutter on old computers

incredibly, people are capable of having different opinions. I'm glad as hell that the Sub Mode decision was made, cuz for me, this was the best GDQ in a while since I had an entertaining chat to watch it with and it didn't need moderation and censorship out the wazoo because it was no longer attached to GDQ. big win/win for me IMO.

Trihex rules

He did a big speech about pleb chat and future GDQ plans, SGDQ isn't certain since it might coincide with some anime convention (lmao) but Trihex is gonna make a big effort to be at AGDQ 2019, and he was hyping up big plans like some kind of 100 man relay race for Mario Odyssey (everyone line ups and each person does 1 moon before handing the controller off to the next one in line) and getting good at Odyssey so he can run it or something else at the new location. I'm hype as hell for Trihex to return, dude is fun as gently caress and the best Yoshi's Island commentator imo.

Let me spell it out: maybe the GDQ organizers also thought it was white noise and not worth it.

Or of an opinion different of your own.

I was getting caught up with Awful Block yesterday and there were a surprising number of donations with "Can't wait to hear the Lobotomy Chicken song" messages. I'm so glad it failed. It was one of my most anticipated runs of the week and that guy sucked.

Aside from that, what a fun week. Already looking forward to SGDQ, though I wish it was the week of July 4th rather than right before it...I was going to take most of the week off. Still have a few VODs I gotta get caught up on. Will watching Bloodborne make me want to give it another shot? I've never made it out of the first area.

Yeah exactly. I completely understand that GDQ wants to be family friendly, runners' families and friends are watching to see them be an internet superstar and you get so many donation messages where it's like "I loved this game as a kid and I'm so glad I can watch it here with my five year old" and a lightly moderated chat doesn't need to be aaaaaanywhere near that, there's just no way for the two to coexist. So I'm really glad that sub chat pushed people to make their own chats, cuz the end result was bunkering down at Trihex's places where he had the moderation and tools to keep everything in check, and even went out of his way to buy a ton of emotes for everyone to have an old school GDQ comfy zone.

hey psst all those extremely lovely streams everyone hates, the ones full of mean ole moderators and dipshit 19 year old virgins making fun of queers and weird old it guys? you don't have to join any of them

you can just watch the stream while hanging out with friends or playing a videogame or posting itt instead, you don't have to engage with it at all and you'll still have a good time except when you don't and when you don't you can just ignore the stream and do something else until the next game

it's pretty easy and a good way to be

I thought it was pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but they did a good job explaining stuff throughout and there weren't too many lulls in the commentary.
