One more day left everyone

Am I the only one who thinks posting here is an integral part of the gdq experience? I don't know how much enjoyment I'd even get out of it by myself after so many gdqs in the bank if not for my postin pals :h:

Oh for sure. There's no way I'd catch any of the dumb twitter drama happening without this thread. It's like a GDQ drama search engine.

I hope they find a way to get people in the stream room during runs this time around. The gallery was totally dead for 90% of runs during SGDQ, even during the daytime.

Not that I've seen, I was mulling over compiling a list, but don't know which runners are goons (beyond those who have indicated as such in the two threads) . I'm pretty sure I saw halfcoordinated post here last year? He's got two runs this time around.

Yeah, halfcoordinated is a goon. UraniumAnchor and SuccinctAndPunchy as well.

I love their shirts, but none of those designs are really grabbing me. Maybe the dog with the headset shirt. I think that's a Resident Evil or Silent Hill reference?

I have the Nier Automata one from SGDQ last year. Actually got compliments on it too. It's a cool design.

I bought a bunch of shirts last SGDQ, everyone comments on them. They're really good shirts.

Pretty much any PJ run.

And I don't really care for Kingdom Hearts, but there was a run I think at SGDQ where every time they had a long forced auto-scrolly mission, people from the crowd would sing Disney songs.

EDIT: Oh, and the first halfcoordinated run I saw. He was playing this dumb Transformers game and I was about to turn it off, but then he asked the donation reader to only read donation comments with terrible puns about Transformers and it suddenly became magical.

Donation war, if "kill run" gets more than 2000 dollars over "save run" on any given run, the run instantly ends.

Gold literally starts spewing into GDQ's coffers.

Let's give them a countdown clock. Give them a chance to get it back up. 5 minutes of frenzy donations.

I think they just read my donation comment again. I heard the end of it, anyway. That's 2 this marathon. I don't know why my comments are suddenly so appealing. They're really generic.

I'll have to start using the donation comment randomizer.

But then my parents bought us a SNES a couple years later.

is it available on virtual console? ive got a switch and a wii U on the way but i can't be assed to track down a SNES and a copy of the cart because its bound to be about a jillion dollars

The cart is about $30, but still a lot for a game from the mid 90s.

speedfriends, should I go out and get a coffee in like an hour to prepare for awful block or should I just try to wing it? I have nothing happening tomorrow so that’s no concern

Awful block will be incredibly thrilling. I imagine no one could sleep while it is happening. But probably yes, since there will be downtime between runs when the hype might lower to dangerous sleep-inducing levels.

Depends on your opinion of Atari 2600. Princess Rescue is sort of a Mario game, but it's also the best Mario game a 2600 can produce.

A good bridge I'd say.
