I didn't really mind him until he gave the big speech after taking second in one of the GDQs then was super rape-y towards his girlfriend ("tell me you love me")

i don't really know the context so you may very well be right but telling someone you're in a relash with that isn't exactly rare, from either men or women

I'm not sure how many times they've actually for-reals banned someone, though. It seems like multiple people have been told that they're SOL only to be back one or two events later. I assume at least that Drunk and Disorderly and The Great Crash Debacle are still banned.

a ban for 1 or 2 events is still a ban :v:

No, it's pretty clearly making a decision in the hopes that they will agree and take action themselves. Don't be giving me that, I ain't buyin what you selling.

I find the idea of GDQ monitoring your behaviour prior to the event to be kind of creepy and if it was how that actually happened it would probably have a warping effect on how people behaved and probably not for the better. Like, I for instance, swear a ridiculous amount on stream because I don't know why the gently caress not, but GDQ doesn't like swearing and if I knew they were going to scrutinise everything I said before the event and if I swore too much I might lose my opportunity, that would be annoying, stressful and kind of creepy. Especially since, like most normal adult human beings, I am capable of reining it the gently caress in when the situation and tone calls for it, so monitoring my outside behaviour for saying the wrong thing doesn't even provide a very good example of how I'd actually present at an event, if he can present fine at the event itself then GDQ has no further reason to give a toss, really.

if the dude didn't want his behavior monitored maybe don't record it in a public venue, just a thought

pvtcb seems like a lovely dude to me, but he's right about one thing: the written gdq rules do not prohibit wearing political hats on stream, just political conversations. it's common sense that it wouldn't be allowed, but in that video klaige says "it's in the rules, black and white" and "double check the rules next time" which is not really correct :/

you can hear zachsk in the video say "I thought it was just say the phrase" based on, I'm guessing, reading and paying close attention to the rules

does the phrase "rules-lawyering" mean anything to you? the clear intent is political speech of any kind is banned, if this dude is too stupid to get that, thats on him

yeah i mean this is pretty obvious but if i've learned anything from being an official for gamers it's that they literally won't accept anything that isn't black and white "you did this thing printed in rule 101.5"

and even then they won't accept it :shrug:

yeah well, tell 'em to gently caress off, they gotta grow up sometime, better to get banned from a game event then you know, trying to do the same poo poo at an actual job or anything

A coop run of Pokemon Red and Blue, getting all pokemon in both versions simultaneously. I obviously haven't watched it all (or even a lot of it) yet but the mere fact that stuff like this exists is crazy to me.

this was cool, i wish more TAS's had annotations like that

altho i guess most TAS's aren't 4 hours long so that annotations are easier then trying to write out all the stuff

I really hope someone pushes a BOTW run. And not just a "go straight to gannon" one, one that shows off the game and breaking it in wonderful ways.

this makes sense since speedruns are known for taking the long way to an objective

Captain Invictus posted:

Well duh, but LOZ runs are generally big moneymakers, especially if they do one for BOTW, and I think a run taking like 15 minutes or whatever they manage to get it down to between now and SGDQ would be a bit anticlimactic. If nothing else have a longer run and have the any% at the end of that.

oh wait you meant for SGDQ, i thought you meant in general

I forget, wasn't the DS3 run at AGDQ bad? I could be mistaken. I seem to remember there being technical issues which may or may not have gotten straightened out like midway through the run.

it wasn't great, there was a 10 minute break in the middle cause the file got corrupted or something and the runner was on tilt from that afterwards

0% takes forever because you have to play safe and slow and underpowered and bosses are goddamn marathons. 100% you have more firepower and can take more risks. WR time difference is only 20 minutes between 0% and 100%
