Does anyone know what's with the list of banned submissions? Some of them are obviously because of porn (Huniepop for sure, very likely some of the others going by the names) and some of them are obviously because of developer shittery (Harry Potter, Ion Fury, FNAF) but Frog Fractions? God of War 2005? Rocko's Quest, which I'd never heard of but which looks like an innocuous piece of early-2000s shovelware? I'm guessing there's some fascinating stories there.

Wait wasn’t there just a FNAF run like last year? That dude sucks but I don’t think he’s gotten any worse in the last 12 months.

GOW 2005 had those QTE sex mini games you have to do doesn't it? Frog fractions sounds like it's just a visually unfun speed game, but that's based on one thing I read and i have no clue how true it is.

My guess would be the Harry Potter situation made them sit and take a harder look at some previous titles they were wanting to exclude rather than an indication that something specific happened with any one of those games.

GoW 2005 and Frog Fractions have some content issues but I forget the details. Rocko's Quest's ending sequence includes the classic "caveman club over the head" "joke", complete with bouncing camera.

...yep, that's a hard no on Rocko's Quest then. :whitewater: And I'd forgotten those minigames in God of War, that'd do it. For FNAF I'm guessing it's a combination of what Murph said plus the fact that Roe vs Wade got overturned since the last FNAF run was allowed in.

rocko's quest had an absolutely horrendous run at a gdq event by one of the moderators of the speedrun leaderboard for it so i assume it's on the list because its community made a real terrible impression. like, one of the absolute worst runs at any gdq event ever and the official gdq channel refused to even upload it.

i'm not sure why barkley shut up and jam gaiden is on there, that game was at a gdq with dev commentary and everything, and that run went well far as i can remember.

You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.
Frog Fractions does the bug porn lemonade stand bit at the end complete with sound effects and the pixelated 'actual' bug porn during the credits; I don't think it's a game anyone's upset at but it does kind of take a hard swerve to being inappropriate for GDQ right at the end

The Saga

ESA is having a Harry Potter block and was going to not allow donation comments in support of trans rights to be read on stream because they're "political", and might still allow for a runner to declare they don't want donations like that read. idk to what degree they've backtracked on that but they remain absolutely atrocious when it comes to official communication.

So this is the one instance where I'll actually support doing what ArfJason does. Or, well, doesn't. Not doing what ArfJason doesn't? Stupid multiple negatives.

The Saga

I do see I omitted some words in my first sentence there, even if it's mostly semantics, you can donate with those comments so they would still show up in the tracker, they just wouldn't let them be passed to the donation reader so they wouldn't be allowed to be read on air. Not that most people would go looking for donation comments in the tracker anyway, so it's not like that makes it meaningfully better.

That is indeed a very disappointing take. Did GDQ stop running Harry Potter games altogether or just the latest one?
