I’m even more confused about Sound Voltex than I was FNAF. I don’t really know how big the community is but it doesn’t seem like the kind of game that would motivate people to donate to that extent. Good luck to them though, hope they make the goal and have a good run!

There's something inherently amusing about people taking relaxing ranch sim type games and turning them in ruthless machines of efficiency to blow through them as quickly as possible.

and?
The rhythm games have been a huge draw for the last 2-3 marathons. I think people may not know what this game is by name and it would be better if they put “Rhythm Game Showcase:” in front but 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm real curious to see what they do with Rise.

The monster hunter games are a blast and I have thousands of hours in them, so I can appreciate all the weird poo poo they do to speed through stuff.

Solar Ash looks great and this run is cool, but I feel a little bad for the dev. With the pace of the runner's narration, I'm pretty sure she's going to get to say all of two or three sentences over the next hour.

There's usually a surge in donations on Thursday evening but ~160k would be a bit more than normal.

Those are the worst. If the dev is on the panel I don't want the speedrunner to explain their tricks. We hear speedrunners explain tricks every run, just let the dev respond to the speedrun and talk about stuff they did while doing dev.

When was the last dev commentator who actually got to speak alot? Battleblock theatre a few years back? They seem to always be squashed by runner/couch commentary.

I'm sorry but I still want the speedrunner to explain the tricks. Personally

This run reminded me that sunbreak drops today. I totally forgot about that and I had pre-purchased it and everything.

Honestly as excited as I am to go monhun I might put it off until monday just because it's hard to watch GDQ and play an action game like that. I've been doing phoenix point all day instead and that jives pretty well.

3 and a half hours to raise 155k for this bonus game

it is technically doable, but fhey've only made 15k towards it in the past two and a half hours. not feeling great about its chances.

Struggling to hit incentives seems to be a theme with this GDQ. Struggling economy seems to be htiting hard, I'm not sure if the incentives were set too large or not, I'd have to see it compared to last year's I guess? but oof

I skimmed the incentives from AGDQ and SGDQ 2021 yesterday when we thought that one wasn't gonna get met for basically that reason and the incentives are pretty close

sgdq always runs lower than agdq so that is expected, i think they are just setting some of these incentives too high
