RTA in Japan summer 2023 is on now if anyone feels like watching: https://horaro.org/rtaij/rtaijs2023 https://twitch.tv/rtainjapan Some years ago there were restreams with english commentary on Speedgaming, but I don't know if they do that anymore?

ESA is the one that did the Harry Potter block and declared trans rights messages on donations wouldn't be read because they were too "political", right? It makes me wonder if running alongside Flame Fatales might not be coincidence.

The problem with Fatales events is that they're still quite US centric, meaning it's basically always off during EU daytime. That said, there's a FFX run starting around evening saturday, which should be interesting since the estimate is 3h 45 minutes - and I'm guessing the CSR in the title means CutSceneRemover or something to that effect. I guess they got that tech working now, since I remember speculating about it earlier. RTA in Japan is running FFVI right now and first thing I see is the Demon chocobo ... brings back memories. Memes are still going strong.

Bremen posted:It makes me wonder if running alongside Flame Fatales might not be coincidence. Benelux Speedrunner Gathering is a pretty established thing and I really doubt the entire dutch/belgium speedrunning community is out to get FF. e: The Lone Fungus run in FF seems fun, that's such a nice game to play (if you don't venture into the challenge rooms) and great to see different categories. Even playing it casually you could tell that the mushroom you can create and then pogo off would enable so many speedrun tricks. TeaJay fucked around with this message at 14:16 on Aug 15, 2023 |

Yeah FFX has a reliable cutscene remover now, which makes the run a lot more manageable lol. There's also a pretty cool newish skip that bypasses the entire Operation Mi'hen section, and in turn completely shifts the early game routing since you don't have to fight Sinspawn Gui anymore.

I watched a little of RTA In Japan this morning and caught a 4-way SM64 70 star race and it was awesome. Two players with 47 times with the winner getting a very low 47 time. SM64 is very cool and I never get tired of watching it.

Bremen posted:It makes me wonder if running alongside Flame Fatales might not be coincidence. If they were trying to crush GDQ they'd put actual ESA over it lol. I don't know a lot about BSG, but it being a live venue event they likely tried to book something that: Landed in Summer Avoided ESA Was not obscenely expensive It's also a specific localized event seeing as the org that runs it is well, based around Benelux. It'd be weird to try and use that to conflict with GDQ, lmao. I don't even like how ESA is run (largely due to what happened with Punchy), and I think this is a dumb accusation I think that the Fatales Marathons being smaller and only running during US Daytime hours mean that other groups, especially international ones, are going to schedule over it if the alternatives are too expensive/difficult. And taking a quick look at Charts, this Fatales may be struggling, but I've heard almost no one talking about the event. Feels like there wasn't really any conversation, and I don't know if previous Fatales events got a lot of press.

From memory, Punchy goes to the organization as a marathon is being set up, goes "hey you, uh, you got a little Nazi on your schedule, right there", points the guy out. Nazi eats a six-month ban, Punchy eats a permanent ESA ban because of "drama".

And if I recall, a third runner is the one who pointed it out, but Punchy went "hey yeah you're right, is anyone else concerned about this, this should probably not be allowed" and that's when ESA gave the literal fascist party member a temp ban that could be ended early for 'good behavior' while the ones reporting it were permabanned. E: between this and the Harry Potter bullshit, gently caress the ESA

Watching the VOD for the Pokemon Blue run, and while I do appreciate a good bit, I do think there's a point where the bit has to pause so they can actually explain what's going on. Like, they were so deep in the bit that when the game genuinely crashed and had to be restarted, the couch still thought it was part of the bit because nothing had actually been explained for what they were doing.

they did announce frost fatales at the end, but i hope earning significantly less than average this year won't cause any problems for them in the future, keeping FF going or getting cancelled. they seemed to do alright with most incentives being met, though, so whoever was estimating those did a good job compensating

So FF seems to just just be part of that same trend.

I also feel like as time goes on, people just don't know these events are happening. If you only watch GDQ for marathon content, It just clogs your twitch following lists for 95% of the year. Also if you just care about marathons, following their twitter is useless because it is so noisy the rest of the year most people unfollow or mute it, and then miss any notifications. They desperately need an email list you can sign up for that is ONLY marathon related info. Maybe a few different lists. One for watchers that would fairly quiet, one for people interested in attending, volunteering, or submitting. It is needed especially now with the state or social media at the moment.
