I'm sure there will be another $10k drop from Yetee as well. When do the Twitch/Prime subs get added in, during the finale?

Well it is more getting it done before KH2 starts so the run gets upgraded. They'll hit 2.5 no matter what, I think.

I think they threw them in earlier back in 2019 to help juice the push for 3 million.

I'd guess they'll dump them in towards the end of this run to meet the last incentive if it hasn't been met-- if it has, they'll hold off until a $3 million push.

I just remember when they read out a $10k donation and people started cheering until the announcer read it was from Notch.

Point totals trigger the N-card, which can spawn in their path and cost time. So they try to manipulate who spawns it so it won't be in a bad location.

usually with gdq final nights i say they will find a way to hit 2.3 before 7-7 but they're just not getting donations in fast enough

e: yep not met. wah wah.

it'll be embarrassing if they don't meet the 2.5M for KH2 because they already interviewed the runner talking about lvl 1 critical assuming it was getting met

at the current donation rate they'll need at least another 45 minutes to hit 2.5M so it's doable, they'll just need to stall a bit

Legit surprised that it looks like we won't make the Level 1 Critical incentive, which is a shame because it's an incredible run.

mario maker 2 brought in a lot of donations back in 2019 so usually mario brings it. but this one was just a thud i guess? the donation per minute went down after the 7-7 incentive failed

the lesson learned for gdq is always have a zelda or anime game in the last few hours

e: i wonder if they planned that milestone hoping they would break the current GDQ record because 2.5M with 3 hours to go... would probably have put them on a trajectory above 3M

I would assume they make finale game selections based on other GDQ statistics, but I admit that I didn't personally feel excited for SMB3. Games like SMB3, Super Metroid, and OoT are fun enough, but I've seen them so many times... That's probably just me, though. I personally wish the SM64 70-star blindfolded run was the non-incentive finale, mostly because it was exceptionally well done and unique.

Here's to hoping they add the subs and bits!
