IcePhoenix posted:also as a side note I kind of liked the way they did it for the pokemon diamond any% (even though it didn't get met) in that it was just a donation total threshold instead of something you had to actually select from a list because there's usually a lot of cool bid wars and incentives otherwise that are bidding "against" the bonus games that it would be fun to see more action on They've usually set the last Bonus Game as a "Milestone" incentive

This comment is late because I was in a duty, but I have to express my irrational anger at Sent not knowing the difference between Ardbert and the Warrior of Light

Agent355 posted:The rest of the runs today all look great. I've seen a fair few elden ring speedruns but I'll probably stay up for those too. i'm hoping the any% route gets met since i'm reasonably certain that's the zip glitch route with a bunch of just-in-case estimate padding

I agree that milestone incentives are better for bonus games.

gently caress the pokemon incentive. I'm sorry but jesus. We already didn't meet it once, we've already seen the pokemon runs, and now they're gonna be constantly pushing for it for the next few hours and 200k seems like alot for a surprise incentive. Though it is the last day so number go up pretty quick.

Actually, does anybody know how rad the any% run is? It's very short so I'm assuming there is a credits warp or something?

I wish I had caught this run from the beginning because Kaizo Super Metroid looks BRUTAL. Also Oats N Goats is my man.

Agent355 posted:Actually, does anybody know how rad the any% run is? It's very short so I'm assuming there is a credits warp or something? it involves the use of a particular glitch and is absolutely bonkers when executed properly. i haven't kept up with the any% run for a while but i think the fastest i remember was about a 14 minute total run, but it's also a run that can easily go haywire which is probably where the 33 minute estimate comes from there's also a billion videos of it on youtube though so it's not a huge loss if it isn't met, distortion2 has a bunch of really good any% record vids

it is the last day, it has a good shot. we've pulled in 150k in the past 2 and a half hours and the donations per minute will keep increasing from here, and there are no other incentives.

Beyond being less annoying, you also don't have to rely on people adding the incentive to their donations themselves (See: That very big gift on Monday night that referenced the FNAF bonus run in the message but was not actually designated towards any incentive) DEEP STATE PLOT posted:and there are no other incentives. ...yet.

Cernunnos posted:Anytime I see Super Metroid hacks I cannot understand how anyone does this. I could maybe do, some of, this with Fusion/Zero Mission controls but SM controls are... OOF Super Metroid has unique and demanding controls but, like Melee, also permits incredible nuance and precision that makes these tricks possible at all

kinda sucks they didn't ask if he wanted to do the run he volunteered to drop https://twitter.com/TheBlacktastic/status/1543371309073178625?t=_xLJQvI-PlAqptb8_oQi_Q&s=19

Yeah honestly I was kinda thinking that. There were multiple runners who volunteered to give up their runs to meet the schedule. I'd rather they were added back instead of re-attempting a failed incentive.

Someone went horrifically overschedule (the guy running pokemon emerald went over pretty bad and then still did stuff after anyway) and some games were dropped voluntarily, and uhh stuff I guess not sure myself either.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:mostly setup taking a lot longer than expected in this specific case, the runner in question voluntarily dropped his bloodstained run in order to help the marathon get back on schedule, but had the potential of getting brought back in once the schedule got more sane snuffed in favor of a pokemon glitch run that previously failed to hit its incentive earlier on in the marathon

The extra fun part is GDQ staff was going to originally be on that Pokémon couch, so it smells of a conflict of interest in the best case. I understand Pokémon runs bring in the money, but you don’t really need that as we head into the final evening.
