A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

Hit with like less than .1 second left. That hurts.

I feel like there's been a glut of incentives not being met this AGDQ, like they've been a bit too ambitious with some games this year

Someone had mentioned it seems like they're opening incentives a lot later than previous GDQs and that may be the cause, who knows. It definitely is way more than previous GDQs I can't remember any incentive from the last couple days that wasn't a bonus game that actually got met.

Not to mention there were two separate 10k incentives for one game there (VVVVVV). I think they put the bar a bit too high on incentives in this event.

I think the amount of downtime has been seriously reduced and the amount of streamer chat is up, providing little time to read donations and advertise incentives.

Staff! Fix his Twitch URL, stat!

e: I got Celeste for free from Epic Games and decided I'm not quite good as the people who speedrun it

You should at least be sure to beat the main story if you haven't. Even if the B and C sides (and uh... this nightmare) aren't for you, the central 7 levels are very doable and extremely worth playing.

I'm usually not good with precision platformers, there was some of that in Hollow Knight which I liked (White Palace yo) but I'll be sure to try again later.

If you can do the white palace you can beat the main story of Celeste, no question

Man, I would not be able to play Celeste, because of the doorbell sound effect

It's hard to beat a kaizo-style game like this when your dog is flipping out every five minutes

"I would highly recommend playing this chapter"

With all due respect, this chapter would be beyond the abilities of January 2018 me who finished all the C sides. January 2020 me has no hope, I am merely human.

You have to use speedrun techniques for this bonus chapter? How the gently caress am I expected to do speedrun poo poo, I'm not even good at video games under normal circumstances

When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.

I always hear how good Celeste is but man it would drive me insane. I could only make it like 10 stages into Super Meat Boy and this looks even harder.

Which is all to say he is making this look super easy.

I think this is some kind of bonus chapter which is a super difficult epilogue or something.

Celeste is incredibly forgiving, most of what speedrunners do is not at all the "intended" way to do it

Lol for real though don't judge its difficulty based on this. This is like the fourth level of difficulty after the main story levels, then the B side levels, then the C side levels. Anyone who likes platformers at all can do the main story, I promise.

I have literally never seen Celeste in a non-speedrun-related context, it was basically made for people to watch Pro Gamers(tm) play it, so I'm not surprised they're aiming some content directly at speedrunners
