i dont think they're gonna meet the any% incentive, they only raised 10-12K in the last half hour and they still need 140K with an hour to go. they've basically gone from 89% to 90% in that time

the pokemon fatigue may in fact be real

e: tech crew may even be relieved to not have another run pushing things back anyway

I missed most of this run but I turned it on just in time to hear the crowd lustily booing a Golbat. It was wonderful and told me everything I needed to know.

They hit the Celeste incentive in like ten minutes

still 140k short half an hour later though. And only an hour left of the run.

They might let this one not make it, since it's only sort-of a bonus run as it's not a whole new game, just a little showcase of a shorter run.

Gotta keep it 100 - I find Pokemon speedruns insanely boring and really wish they'd replace them with something else. Makes me not want to watch.

are you that mainframe hacker guy?

If you're running an event its gotta be a hard call to cut 7 shorter runs vs cutting one JRPG.

they have raised over 100k since the start of this run, not sure exactly when the incentive was announced but they have pulled in a decent amount this run. just, not enough.

Didn't even try to stall for it RIP. I mean it was obviously too far to stall but they didn't call in any twitch or yetee bucks either. Staff must not have been too attached to that one.

Looking forward to the next handful of runs myself.

they prolly figured letting it die to help the schedule was the best call. hopefully we see that run at agdq or something next year.

I mean, that run is available on youtube right now just like any other speedrun. If anybody in the audience REALLY wants to see it you can just go watch it. It's not quite the same as seeing it with a couch and audience, but it's not beyond reach.

The twitch and yetee bucks are for the full-on bonus games, just a bonus run of a game that they literally just did probably isn't worth calling in their emergency money.

remote runs are just like watching a youtube video but worse. if they are actually canning runs to save the schedule this should have been the first to go.

it's not quite arbitrary code execution but they're basically setting up the memory in such a way that the game gets enormously confused when certain screen transitions occur and sends DK to completely different worlds and maps
