Seeing the event starts with Crash Bandicoot 3 just reminds me of that awful run of 2 and how running a game in that series must feel relatively low pressure because you can't possibly be worse than that run.

was that the guy who purposely softlocked his game and talked about killing himself

because boy that was a bad run

It's slower than both GDQs in 2017, but not by much (thanks gdq stats)

Would you rather #ENDECCHI or #REMOVEMOE. Both would have net positive effects on the quality of Chinese Cartoons. I personally am convinced that moe is more detrimental to the overall quality of japanimation than ecchi. What are you guys' opinions?

keep both OP

This makes me wonder why there are seemingly more transladies than cisladies in the speedrunning community. I mean the community is incredibly toxic to the transladies so is it even worse somehow if you are cis? I can't imagine that being the case.

we spend a lot of time terrified to leave the house before/during transition and what better thing to spend your time doing than playing video games a bunch

This makes a lot of sense.

obviously that's kind of a joke answer but there's some truth to it, at least for me; i got really good at speedrunning doom 2 while transitioning during college

Playing Rare Replay reminded me how much great stuff Rare have done under Microsoft, while very little of their N64 output holds up to the point where you wonder if the original Banjo was a fluke.

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were great and I won't hear a word to the contrary

Somebody explain to me how you can do that Diddy roll jump from the pit in DKC games? Like when you roll off the cliff and then jump back up from the abyss after the roll

that's just a standard part of the games you're required to do in many spots
