Quite. Us Gen Xers grew up watching other people play video games at the arcade while commenting/backseating. Well, apart from the rich bastards that came up loaded and got to play longer than 5 minutes.

Watching a stream is like being young and poor again. :unsmith:

GDQ later cracked down hardcore on the chat and chased out the creeps. It’s not perfect but probably one of the best moderated and wholesome channels on Twitch now.

Chat was full of pervs, racists and mocking trans streamers etc. GDQ implemented strict moderation and throw up BLM/LGBTQ banners between runs. Apparently the banners alone chased off a lot of the jerks which is pretty funny.

Reminds me of that little indie racing game 'Buck Up and Drive' that had trans pride flags up on billboards in the game. It offered a toggle for them and then made it so the toggle just enabled even more pride flags.

as far as i know just from forums osmosis it was a bunch of posters really into metroid speedruns ("shinespark" being a metroid speedrun thing) and posting how hot they thought samus aran was ("fine"). up to and including all the samus aran porn you could whack off to. it's ok though, they were just being open minded and sex positive, you're the weird one for judging them.

It was just a group tag for people who liked to comment on the GDQ / speedrun thread, such as the previous Assless chaps one (which was a joke on the classic Arabian Nights speedrun) The big purge happened when one of the threads got way out of hand with horny and a lot of people left SA following that (thread got locked and people banned). Now the threads are more like it used to be, a lot slower and more actual speedrun posting.

As for GDQ itself, the Twitch chat has been a lot better in the recent years, no doubt due to sub-only chat and vigorous moderation. It's not the complete cesspool anymore it used to be whenever there was a woman or a trans person on screen.

Goons kept posting fanart related to the game being run, but it got out of hand. At one point during the Splatoon run someone posted splatoon porn. Goons told them to delete it and the thread OP told people to cut out the fanart posting. Someone kramered into the thread and posted fanart of Kass from Breath of the Wild with a gigantic dick. At this point mods came into the thread and started probating and banning anyone that had posted fanart starting from the beginning of the thread until they got bored I guess. The two posters that posted Splatoon porn and Zelda porn were not banned or probated lol

Theoretically, everyday multitasking should be capable of achieving some processing efficiencies. Yet, empirical research shows that studying, doing homework, learning during lectures, learning from other sources, grades, and GPA likely are all negatively affected by concurrent multitasking with technology. Young people who frequently multitask compared with other young people may be poorer at ignoring irrelevant environmental information, but the effects of extreme multitasking on other cognitive outcomes are not clear-cut. There are strategies that people of all ages can use to minimize multitasking and reduce distractions when they are performing important tasks such as studying or doing homework.

splatoon people got permabanned for sure, but mod action happened like, way after the fact on the 5th or 6th day of the marathon when all the worst poo poo had already happened on the 3rd night or something like that. i remember being in the "what are the mods doing" camp, mostly because (and this tends to be my evergreen position) mods on SA never do their job properly and just let a problem fester, and instead of going through the reports and taking the proper individual actions as they happen, they just end up shutting the whole thing down and throwing their hands in the air

in retrospect the near liveposting energy of those threads was a bit too ridiculous anyway since it was just a lot of emptyquoting and unrelated chat... i wasn't surprised that a lot of those people shuffled off to a discord after that all went down because that was probably a better venue for that speed of discussion
