Bold of Bobby to defy the only rule about wearing a mask they have at ESA, "don't wear it when your miced up"

Personally I'd like subtitles anyway since there's so many thick accents in every speedrunning event. Especially during covid you had peoples' home mics in big events too and they certainly weren't always very good. I'm hard of hearing by nature, and masks don't exactly help my situation but ofc I understand why people would wear 'em if they prefer.

I mean, ESA's beef with Punchy is definitely a huge mess and handled really badly, but I just mainly want to enjoy some fun speedruns and there's been those. Lot of same runners you'll find in GDQ events as well. The "weird" nature of ESA has gotten a lot less prevalent over the last few years and at least it seems like they're trying to run things a bit more professionally nowadays. (and yes I have been annoyed by the laissez-faire attitude of the event in the past as well) But as long as we're speaking about the nature of ESA... they just had a run of Drakengard on a Nokia 6220. (you read that correctly) TeaJay fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Jul 25, 2022 |

TeaJay posted:Who? I don't personally care if you watch it so I'm not super inclined to spend a bunch of time cross-referencing 3+ year old tweets about speedrunning ban drama against the GDQ ban list for the sake of trying to convince someone else not to watch ESA, Punchy's was the thing that solidified it for me but it was an ongoing distasteful thing for years prior ever since they started trying to really capitalize on the "GDQ is No Fun Anymore Pepehands" crowd

Still in awe at how terrible that letter is If you want to put on multiple high-profile events every year, you can't be this loving bad at communication, the message they sent is that if you speak up about toxic people forcing ESA to actually do something and publically ban them, you will also be labeled a toxic people and banned, but silently. That was pretty much the final straw for me, but it was also underlined by that after the banning of Punchy, ESA indicated that the ban on the chuds wasn't indefinite. The early ESAs were honestly great fun, but they started getting hella hubris somewhere around... I want to say 2016, but that's more a vague feeling than a definite event I can point to.

RTA in Japan is in a few weeks too, hoping there will be some english commentary restreams this time too. Also Punchy will be running English of the Dead, which should be a good time. https://horaro.org/rtaij/rtaijs2022

Very interesting schedule with a little bit of everything. VVVVVV seems like a game that should have been optimized years ago, so i wonder what the run looks like. Not gonna watch though.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:It's held in Sweden, which doesn't have the Euro because they've been dragging their feet on the replacement for the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (called ERM II, inventively enough), despite being obliged to use the Euro, because they weren't smart enough to negotiate an opt-in like Denmark. this still doesn't explain them defaulting to dollars over euros or even swedish kroner.
