Good runs to watch while Pokemon/Kingdom Hearts/obscure multi-hour JRPG are live: - Shadow of the Colossus - Blaster Master race - GTA: Vice City - Jedi Outcast - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - Thunder in Paradise (I haven't seen the rest of the silly block yet) - Stepmania showcase - Doom Eternal - Satisfactory

I have been very distracted from stuff I actually do need to get done, so it's not too bad to have a block where I don't have to feel bad about going and doing something else for a while :V

Y'all get really mad that other people don't enjoy things and it's weird. I like the long jrpg runs but it doesn't bother me if other people don't and/or complain about it.

Hell yeah they read my dono Also I was getting a haircut earlier and telling my hairdresser about the event and cause, and when I went to pay she asked me to put that money toward the event instead, really super nice of her  (I donated myself then added extra on top to match hers)

Agent355 posted:Yeah like. I'm an avid rhythm game player and I will say that nobody is memorizing tracks. It just doesn't happen. even if you aren't like a 10/10 or 18/20 FC guy if you've played a rhythm game for long enough you've probably had something happen where suddenly you stop actively thinking about the game and you almost start doing the inputs without even trying to and its the weirdest feeling in the world It's also like high skill shmups and high speed tetris where thinking about it will break it and you'll lose

People call it the flow or the zone or w/e but it's like watching yourself over your own shoulder and it's great. it's either that or you take mushrooms

Speaking of high speed tetris if you don't like the current run and like "guys doing insane poo poo" watch this which is a guy in the local scene who was the first to get the highest rank outside of Japan on this tetris arcade machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_b6H8dHHm0

Yeah I certainly don't mean to poo poo on runs I don't personally like, again just a bit miffed some runs I was really waiting for got canned. You watch your pokemans however you like. I will likely catch up pn some stuff I missed a bit later.

this game doesn't look as bad in motion as it did in screenshots, but i feel like Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee had a much better look to it of the Switch remakes, even if the gameplay changes are sacrilege or whatever also i wonder if I'll ever see a 60fps mainline Pokemon game in my lifetime

At the very least the couch on this Pokémon run is pretty good. Which I guess is probably part of the main appeal of Pokemon runs.

The main actual complaint about this pokemon run is that GDQ is so far behind that they had to axe some other interesting runs and this one seems redundant because there was another 4h pokerun a couple days ago.

It turns out that different games are different. Or maybe we should just only do a single Sonic game during Sonic block, a single Silly game during silly block....

My turn to complain about a new thing. I hate canned jokes from runners/the couch. They're never convincing enough actors to make it not sound canned and they never work for me.

Zurai posted:It turns out that different games are different. Or maybe we should just only do a single Sonic game during Sonic block, a single Silly game during silly block.... Both those categories have way more variance than pokemon games. If you don't understand any of the routing in this run, or why things are going the way they are in the randomiser, both runs will end up looking pretty similar. I don't disagree that having multiple pokemon runs is fine, but I can totally see why people who aren't into it are frustrated. I know there's been a few hours of schedule drift which doesn't help but I do think it's a bummer both pokemon runs have ended up being at fairly similar times. If they were 12 hours offset so people were unlikely to catch two it would be less of a problem, but Emerald and now this one have been significant chunks of my evenings, if I hadn't enjoyed either of them it would be disappointing. they should only do one megaman game though

Have they explained why it's so important to keep the Kadabra within such a tight XP range, or is that something they're going to reveal later?

Diamond/Pearl are really strict with obedience so if Kadabra gets too high a level before a point the run becomes a dumpster fire of RNG. e; and as I type this eddaket re-explains things

Deformed Church posted:Both those categories have way more variance than pokemon games. I'll give you silly games, that was a terrible example. But every 2D Sonic game looks exactly the same to me and every 3D Sonic game looks exactly the same to me. And the differences between 2D and 3D Sonics are purely graphical as far as I'm concerned. Meanwhile, even though I'm far from the biggest Pokemon fan, the difference between a really chaotic 4-player coop Emerald randomizer run and a glitchless BDSP run are pretty apparent to me. People can like what they like and dislike what they dislike, I don't care. The point is that "but we already had one of these" is pretty self-serving and applies to a very broad portion of the entire marathon.
