Retro Runner saying he wants to play something other than Ninja Gaiden after everything he's achieved reminds me of that one guy who, after attaining Tetris Grand Master, was asked what he wanted to do next, and he said something to the effect of "anything other than play Tetris."

Really interesting how being one of the best in the world at something does not automatically mean you like or wish to continue that activity.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

The game starts with you going after your frog, so when UA killed the frog at level 7 someone hit the timer assuming it was done.

Whoever it was, you fixed it quickly but don't pretend nobody noticed.

Not a walrus.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Seriously though that race was as good as I could possibly ask for. Neither of us go too badly trolled and we were really close the whole time.

I went to bed early, and had some tea right as I got up, so now I'm wide awake. And enjoying this Ninja Gaiden.

fake edit: Or was, he finished as I was typing this.

This game is a lot of visual noise.

Good looking noise, but noise still.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Just wait until the part where Ronald McDonald kills Colonel Sanders.

I recently found out that a Cool Spot game (7UP mascot in the nineties) for the Game Boy was actually a changed version of M.C. Kids. The franchise wars of the nineties were ridiculous.

I keep parsing that towel behind the Bonk plushie as hair and trying to figure out what game it's supposed to be from. Like it was a plushie of Bonk the Clown from somewhere.

Even having grown up playing them, platformers from the genesis to ps1/n64 era are just some weird and obtuse mother fuckers.

I know people are nostalgic for them but I'm pretty sure they're all bad actually.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Sunday didn't really have any barnburner runs, at least not in my book*. Also plenty of old heads have moved to Discord for their realtime shitposting.

*(SotC was a solid start, with a good gimmick and props. Rolled Out! was fun to watch because I have no interest in playing Monkey Ball-style games, but they're super satisfying to see executed with a high degree of skill - that also applied to the Spyro 120% run. And I did enjoy Perfect Dark primarily for nostalgia reasons.)

We are all getting older so post rates are also going down

Never seen Pathless played let alone run so it'll be nice to see what it's about.

Was making sure I wasn't missing a chat thread or analogue because the first in person gdq in yonks deserves to be more hype and Just Post but thought I might be missing another thread or something causing disengagement

I only now noticed the feature where the UI part of the runner/commentator name will flash to indicate who is speaking. That's really neat and I don't remember actually if it was a thing before. But I'd assume it makes a bit easier to tell who is who, especially with the masks.

I just mentioned this in the discord and came here to post about it, it's a great addition to the overlay

It's been 6 years since Ty the Tasmanian tiger was last featured in GDQ, probably because the previous one got famous for many wrong reasons. The estimate is way lower than before so looking forward to it, but I'm really in for the Castlevania stuff later

That's it, I'm never ordering from Yetee again

It's more because of the increased postal fees + taxes you gotta pay. Compared to the last time I ordered a shirt from GDQ the costs are like 2x to overseas, unfortunately.

i always expect the ty games to go on deep discount during Steam sales but they only ever go on sale for 50% off (i mean $7.49 isn't that much money but it's still the principle of the thing!!)

Do they have an audience mic so people can still yell memes during the run during the online segments?

Seems like an easy/fun thing to do.
