I've finally updated my avatar. AGDQ 2018 was truly something special. Maybe this will be the year I finally try to speedrun something!

Hello, I just happened to see the games list was posted! I'm just generally excited about GDQ and speedrunning and I already can't wait to shitpost with all you goons again. I have no strong opinions about OOB glitches. Crazy that Super Smash TV got in. I was just thinking about that game this morning completely out of the blue, and here it is on the schedule.

This is a good lineup! I don't know who Krystal is but  at people that try to fake scores in niche games like IIDX. The community is small enough that anyone lying about scores will be found out eventually.

axeil posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A95VLkNW6tk Completely unrelated to speedrunning, but I just solved a mystery that's been bothering me since I was a kid playing this game. One time I was at a hotel with my parents, and they had a game rental system available which would let you play games that were loaded from a central server in the hotel. I remember playing Kirby's Dream Course, and being unable to get past the first world because the game wouldn't let me recover any health from killing enemies or clearing levels. I just happened to think about it now, and then I looked at TCRF to confirm my suspicion: it was an anti-piracy mod in effect because it wasn't being played on a legit SNES! https://tcrf.net/Kirby%27s_Dream_Course#Copy_Protection I wish I could remember what that system was called. I also played a lot of Super Punch-Out on it.

The Kins posted:I remember reading about this ages ago, so it wasn't too difficult to dig back up: It was the Nintendo Gateway System, which was a part of the LodgeNet hotel entertainment service. Oh poo poo, that was it! Yeah, I remember playing on the system with the black controller and the blue buttons. Crazy stuff. Thanks for the info!

Hold on, I saw like 100 new posts in here, what the hell happened?Crotch Bat posted:GDQ is evolving right alongside Twitch in the "don't ever for any reason do anything even remotely close to possibly being in consideration for maybe being something that someone, somewhere, in one of the multiverses considers offensive". It is astounding what Twitch is up to these days in an attempt to almost completely sterilize the platform of any remotely interesting personalities.  The rest of you are just the best, though. Can't believe it's only a month until another livechat thread!

It's very hard to beat PJ's Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 run with the Hype vs. Silence bidwar. Also, with the announcement of Metal Wolf Chaos XD, I now have to rewatch Murphagator's SGDQ 2014 All Cutscenes run.

I finally finished watching the FF6 run from SGDQ, and with that I've gone through all of the runs I wanted to see. I still have to watch the stream ending, the finale, and the highlights video. Then I can catch up on ESA!SeXReX posted:Midwest speedfest starts up in just a few hours! I'll try to watch some of this over the weekend!

Boogalo posted:I was bored and found the vod timestamp from a clip. Someone with that name was in his chat and got gifted a sub. If you wait a few minutes (right after where Sephiroth cuts down Tifa), he writes off the actions of the people in chat as not being his responsibility. Like... okay yeah, you can't govern the lives of people watching you. But when you have a platform like that, you also have the chance to set an example and promote goodwill.

SuccinctAndPunchy posted:speaking of routing I'm kinda frustrated because this guy on the forums keeps coming up with sound routing suggestions but keeps getting stonewalled by the inanity of the ruleset. Guy thinks we could increase difficulty to Hard at some point to try and force Tektite drops in a convenient fashion and skip some grinding later, sounds good, except the ruleset specifies you can only use Normal for drops unless the game absolutely requires it to progress (the game will force Easy mode on you at one point because of this so the rule is worded to skirt around it), but apparently it is specifically Normal, not Normal and above. There isn't a straight "do whatever difficulty" category of the game and I may have to change that at some point because there's good suggestions trapped behind stupid difficulty posturing going on here, like anyone gives half a gently caress about how ~skillful~ your JRPG'ing is I 100% agree; this is a stupid arbitrary rule. Adjusting the game difficulty is baked into the game mechanics; there are different drop tables for every single enemy/boss on every difficulty and you can change at any time among any of the difficulties you've unlocked. TWEWY is one of my absolute favorite games and I think I'll be watching the Final Remix runs closely. Also I'm happy to hear that 1p2c is a legit category because of how co-op works in Final. e: well I suppose there's also an argument for not allowing Easy unless it's forced on you. I didn't consider that. I really should play Final Remix already. DizzyBum fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Oct 22, 2018 |

I like to occasionally browse tasvideos.org and check out their Recommended and Tiered runs, especially the Moons and Stars. I've probably been looking at that site for over a decade now.

UraniumAnchor posted:Keeping most enforcement discussions internal to GDQ makes us look a lot less active than we actually are. Even in this thread there's a lot of either outright incorrect information (not lies, just people getting stuff wrong) or speculation about things that I can't address. I have to be careful even discussing things that I think are 'public knowledge'. Thanks for remaining professional about this. I mean that sincerely.

In all honesty, what does one do in this situation? Do you straight-up confront these people and say "hey that's really not cool"? axeil posted:gamer culture outright hatred and hostility towards women and especially transwomen is sickening and why I do everything possible to avoid identifying with "gamers". If anyone in the real world calls me a "gamer" I immediately correct them because I don't want to be lumped in with those monsters.

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:a simple "cmon, really?" Is sometimes enough to get them to regret their words and deeds. If these people are in insular enough communities, like the elite, its possible theyve never had any kind of pushback at all ever to saying these kinds of things. If they double down just deck them lol I'm not a confrontational person but I am definitely a "Really??" kind of guy; I can at least do that much. Not gonna start punching people for saying dumb things, though. That's counter-productive.

I'm glad they're acknowledging this. I'm still looking forward to AGDQ '19; I'm not going to stop supporting them immediately because I feel like that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But the next year is going to be very important for GDQ and I sincerely hope they improve as a result of this.
