Cosmo is playing OoT right now like a normal person with no commentary and the title "lets play" and it's the best thing I've ever watched.

30 minutes in and he's still in the Deku Tree. I think is some kind of gently caress you to all the people that ask him to speedrun OoT again.

This is a wonderful leisurely session. I wonder if its a relative or friend playing. Chat is losing its mind.

Every marathon from now until the end of time is required to have a Super Metroid run in some capacity if only because save/kill the animals usually brings in about 1/5 of what the entire loving marathon brings in or something dumb like that.

Another 1/5 comes from the tracker being broken.

I'm enjoying the mental image of many nerds descending on the local goodwill to stock up on CRT's for their hotel rooms. It's actually not a bad idea to buy then donate back when you're done.

Going through some older speedruns to catch up, and this BT&DD Glitch is the best thing i have ever seen. Of course its PJ and Mecha.

That whole Team PLC marathon was excellent and an earlier run gave us the poppybro gif that almost killed Klaige and inspired the poster given to them at SGDQ.

Klaige has the poster now and it will be up behind him and visible on streams at some point.

My only complaint about the layout is the static bright parts give bad image retention on my plasma TV so I have to move stuff around and watch on a smaller LCD. Personal problems.

There were some forgettable runs but the whole event was great overall.

Credit warps are the most boring things in the entire loving universe though.

Still don't understand how that FF1 run got in when its just going up and down stairs for for loving ever and then boom you're done.

Especially when FFtactics keeps getting rejected for being boring.

And that 4 hour Fire Emblem run got in. The ultra fast menuing was technically impressive at least.

out of total noob curiosity when you have the splits and stuff do you just have a key or pedal or something set to stop the timer for that split as you play

Some games are supported by auto splits, but mostly yeah its just key or button trigger.

Paypal takes less of a cut as you go to higher amounts. For a $1 donation sure, they take something like $.35 and 3% and that comes out to about the same as twitch but if you're donating $5, the paypal cut becomes a much smaller %.

Better to go to sleep than pass out on stream. He was pretty out of it at the end getting lost a lot.

Huge props for getting that far. Maybe start the run in the evening next time so the 65 hour mark isn't in the overnight.

Mostly he was just falling asleep for seconds at a time while trying to even walk around the map. Amazed he got that far though, really. Probably should do something saner where he has a forced break of a certain number of hours between each to get a nap or whatever.

Even with an 8 hour rest before DQ7 the total time would be impressive. Horrible RNG in the metal slime grind was soul-crushing.

He was relatively prepared. Eating normal meals, drinking plenty, stretch breaks, etc. Also had his friends on coms for the final say on if to cut it off or not. Healthy? No, but it wasn't super dangerous and a couple days of rest is all it really takes to recover from being awake too long. I think he can pull it off.

In some games, single segment does mean no loading of saves so if you die it's run over. Lots of fun in Xenogears.

you know what id like is a shared goon twitch that just hosts whoever is actually streaming

i don't do anything on twitch except watch some people on speedrunslive but id like to watch goons if I could be bothered

i think the only person I consistently look for is halfcoordinated, but i forget about that too sometimes

This could work now that auto host is a thing.

So I've been watching this dude Highspirits on Twitch, who does some speedruns of Dragon Quest, AKA the best JRPG series. At the moment he's 29 hours into a 'gospel ring%' run of DQ8, which requires killing one of every non-recruitable monster in the game. It's not a serious category I don't think and thank gently caress for that, poor guy is getting absolutely screwed by RNG basically constantly.

Anyway, I like watching JRPG speedruns while I'm working but don't know many runners, who else is out there that's doing good runs of FF and DQ and such? Any good/regular streamers? I know about Puwexil but that's basically it.

Check out https://www.twitch.tv/cordellium , he does the xeno games and has a marathon of Xenogears, FF8 and Chrono Cross which is about 35 hours.

https://www.twitch.tv/cordellium

Hard to beat Highsprirts in the personability and entertainment department. Few people could make his 68 hours of dragon quest series interesting.
