People love to go "But we all know cancer is a thing, who gives a gently caress about "awareness" campaings~~~meyhhh~~~" when the reality is that people are loving morons. People don't know that sun exposure is a major cancer risk. Hell, it's only recently that people are waking up to the reality that tanning beds seriously need to be regulated and children need to be warned against excessive tanning. Hell, really even any tanning. Agreed 100%

Cowman posted:I was specifically talking about PCF and not AGDQ's involvement or anything like that. I don't really mind them not correcting it (because of what Crain mentioned about people being loving idiots about cancer they probably wouldn't donate if they said it wasn't all going to research) but not specifying that it's an American thing is kinda lovely :\ Yeah i think it being an american charity is why people take issue with it being focused on prevention. But if you're dumb enough to donate to a charity you know nothing about then you can't really complain, and if you don't like it then just donate all your money to SGDQ, MSF is like the least controversial charity there is.

I'm very dumb so I only just now realized SGDQ is actually on. So I missed out on 4 days of juicy speedrunner drama.

my favorite thing was maybe a few years ago, as the credits rolled for some final fantasy or zelda game or something, some long haired blonde dude stood up and started weeping because "agdq provided a space for me" or some poo poo and the 3 people playing on the couch were just like "uhhhh" does anyone remember that? to be fair it could have been literally any year because I feel one guy always does this.

GDQ is getting better at handling the horde of nerds they use to raise money every year. Complaints aside, along with how far they still probably have to go, that should be recognized.

Have we had whining on twitter yet from bitter reactionaries about SJWs taking over another aspect of Gamer Culture because that seems to be a thing that happens with all nerd gatherings/hobbies/awards now.

Only stuff I've seen from attendees was PvtCb and his buddies complaining that they are/were so nervous during their run because the GDQ staff put him on hard notice due to him making that ironic threat on twitter before the event. Beyond that though not really that I've seen.

This is beautiful. Right up there with the 30+ minute screaming match Werster had with his mother, live. Edit: OK, only 14 minutes. I remembered it being longer for some reason. Still great. AbrahamLincolnLog fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Jan 6, 2016 |

I love this, it reminds me of a video I saw a long time ago. It involved a kid playing I think Rainbow Six on the original xbox, and got into an argument with his mom over chocolate milk.

Isn't werster like super racist? Or was? All I know is that he gets mad at Pokemon games from time to time and is a literal 6 foot tall child. E: he's Australian, of course he's racist.

So if you do actually search up the Sam SVG and Stivity thing, there is a...dedicated few people dragging it out since it happened, determined to "have closure". They just want all the juicy details, including all sorts of creepy stalkerish questions and comments on a subreddit made just to "investigate". I know it's the Internet but seriously. For example, they're very concerned with finding out if she slept with 4 or 20 people. Very important stuff to get closure!

Wait, wait, wait. Those creeplords are still going at it on Reddit? Wow. That means they've been internet stalking people involved in that clusterfuck and doing other creepy poo poo for literally 1.5 years. Goddamn.

I feel like as the event tries harder to become more presentable and professional, we'll get less and less of these weirdos doing stuff on camera, but maybe more people sneaking in donation comments like that Sam SVG comment. Wasn't there a comment that weeded its way in last year that was like "people just died from cancer in France" after the Charlie Hebdo attacks?

Is there literally anything to prove that donation was made by the actual guy who was cheated on, or is this just some giant cuck nerd fantasy?
