That is fair. It's not likely, I just don't see a reason to open yourself up to more tedious arguments about ~the policy~ when you could just omit that part.

I can see two reasons for an 18-month limit. One is to reduce the time and effort it takes to vet runners. If you don't put a time limit on it you'll miss something that happened five years ago which will be promptly leapt on by people eager to bash GDQ, well intentioned or no. The second is to give people a chance to change and move on from past mistakes/wrongdoing.

I suspect the first reason is more likely but it's better to give people a chance, and as it says the time limit doesn't apply for egregious occurrences.

i feel like pretending not to be a bigot for 18 months is the same as not being a bigot for 18 months and should be celebrated & encouraged

if theyre a bigot theyre not gonna pretend not to be a bigot for a full year to play a speed run in a charity marathon

You have to give people a chance to change and move on. If you don't then all you're doing is creating a reason for them to double down and actually join the chuds that would never change thier behavior anyway. The 18 months is pretty fair for minor stuff.

I think establishing a time limit is weird, but I guess it's more for practical reasons, since apparently they wanna do the vetting themselves. Usually a bigot won't spend a year and a half not saying anything bigoted. They might not go "gently caress trans people" but they're gonna be lovely in some other manner.

It's kinda...weaksauce tho, if this is the "reworked policy". It's "being respectful", a very vague concept that can easily let people say poo poo things as long as they're not doing it to someone's face. I think it's nothing, frankly, and that's pretty disappointing.

But hey, speedruns! I'm not looking forward to anything specific this AGDQ, other than Awful Games, but that's always a super fun night.

Yeah, I agree with this. I think the time limit is bad and I think the policy itself is loving bad. But eh, this policy is poo poo, so I still won't be watching, so I guess my opinion doesn't really matter.

I always loved playing Fallout and VTM: Bloodlines, so those look great, but :same: otherwise. Is there anything that people are specifically looking forward to that I should try to work into my live-viewing schedule?

this is very pro-click

it begins normally but very rapidly descends into the game breaking in increasingly severe ways solely in order to murder PJ, whether that be spontaneous combustion while reloading a gun, him trying to get through a door and being violently hurled out of the level for it, or having a fire hose shooting napalm clip straight through a wall just so it could set him on fire

an example of the game falling apart just to kill everyone:

In my experience it is very entertaining but also can be annoying since there's a high enough spend tier to just outright KO one of the runners, so it's a good bit of fun but if you're expecting the race to seem completely fair, nah. It'll probably be good for the money raising aspect though.

can't they disable the instant KO? I'd hope they would, loving with the players is one thing but I always felt the instant kill one was a bit too far.

I would imagine they can but have no idea if they will or not, but given it's a big charity thing they could just jack up the price on that thing in particular. In practice it isn't always too bad because sometimes people will take pity on the runners and try to snipe a potential KO with a fairy or the like.

They can disable stuff as they like, yeah. You can also adjust the prices on the fly, so they just make things crazy expensive if you start having too many “lol dead before getting the crystal” kind of deaths or time gets tight.

There's also a timeout that can be attached to various effects, so you aren't utterly inundated with instant death. Andy (I'm assuming it's him since..yeah) has been doing this often enough that he's got a good memory for where fairies can be bottled pretty much everywhere.

- i make lots of money
