Btw if anybody remembers me as the person who dated a deer (if you don't remember it's a long story), I have a normal boyfriend now.

If I practice speed running while watching other speed run, on a scale of 0 to 10 how much have I lost control of my life?

Did they ever reveal what's going to be the substitute to the kill/save animals thing? Ya know, since it doesn't seem super metroid is on the list?

We're still doing save/kill the animals. This time it applies to Tintin in Tibet.

Not really but I'm guessing people will still be donating to save/kill the animals anyway as a joke so not really not really.

They're re-playing the previous agdq right now on twitch:

https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

There was a program (or perhaps two programs working in tandem) that allowed twitch to pop out and play in its own window on your computer without commercials or the chat. It was linked in the OP of every GDQ thread but this one. What was/were the program(s)?

I suggest Grandpa puts it in this OP too before the event actually starts so people can prepare and set it up (is real easy though)

Thanks! I don't see the slow thread so I missed it!

No I was talking about Streamlink etc etc. I had an older version and needed to update to the latest version.

I've been watching since AGDQ 2012 and I remember one middle of the night run during SGDQ 2013 (don't remember the actual run) I was like one of the only people watching and I held a conversation with the runner via donations.

I tend to remember the good stuff, not focus on the bad ones. Although I will admit I'm real bad with awkward stuff and can't even bear to watch replays of stuff like the "jump in front of the shuttle" guy.

If we could just delete all the videos from the internet and hard drives of "jump in front of the shuttle" guy I would be OK with that.

I'm bummed because I ordered a pizza about an hour ago and I specified gluten free (because Celiac) and it arrived and it was, like, an inside out pizza. I called the pizza place and they were like, "You didn't want it Chicago style?" No, I wanted it gluten free, like I said, and like you repeated back to me at least one time. They're remaking it but it hasn't come yet so I'm hungry and grumpy. And I have a pizza I can't use. I hope this doesn't happen during the marathon proper.

Edit: That said any goon in NW West Virginia/SE Ohio can have a free pizza.

Harsh. They've all been uploaded online. I quit reading when I hit 7th grade and Animorphs were "uncool" but a few years ago I went back and reread them all* and it was actually pretty good. I particularly liked the Chronicles books.

Oh, awesome, I am getting the Splatoon shirt. Like half my nerdy shirts at this point are GDQ shirts.

I used to watch GDQs alone but I remember it being so much better when I realized goons were watching and posting too. (I don't really post much the rest of the year.) Telling everyone about My Boyfriend, The Deer was a magical time and then when I came back six months later and people remembered me for that was really heartwarming to me.

Edit: Heartwarming like that ^^^^

Nobody recognizes my avatar. Wow.

OG ATLA is my favorite show of all time, but S3/S4 Korra is pretty tight. Needless to say I'm a massive Korrasami shipper.

Gosh, guess we'll all just have to keep quoting this one post then.

Real talk though would it be annoying if I posted Eli's address every so often? He really does love getting cards from all over, it's kind of his thing. He's received tens of thousands since he was diagnosed.

I lost a friend to that poo poo a couple years ago. Does Eli want any cool toys, or just cards? Because I would totally be down for getting him a drone or a model kit or whatever. I’ve got cash, and I hate cancer.

If you wanted to send an object (which you really don't have to do), he's really into the poop emoji. But honestly his thing is cards, and he's literally received tens of thousands at this point from all over and read every single one.
