The one not entirely dumb argument I can think of is that there are better charities than PCF. Not that the PCF is bad, mind you, it's still pretty good.
Yeah, I would weakly prefer if they chose a different charity than PCF but like, even as an outside it seems like PCF is stoked to have GDQ and I assume they go above and beyond to be easy to work with at this point and I don't care nearly enough to agitate for a different charity.

everything else is Nazi punks who haven't hosed off yet

This.

He literally happened to go 1/25 and did not expect anywhere near that, as far as I know. It's one of those things where it just kind of is luck based on that bit. Makes me think of early FF4 any% runs when they started using the 64-stair glitch but didn't have all the stuff properly mapped out so sometimes you just hardlocked with that annoying frying bacon noise and didn't know why.

What's the origin of the prhase "wrong warp", anyway? I mean, it's perfectly pithy and describes what it is really well, but it has a strange cadence to it. Did a Japanese runner put it that way first or something?

odd question but are there any "solved" games. as in the world record is impossible to beat by another human. maybe a stupid question since it always seems like when a game is solved someone finds some new glitch or tech to beat it but i assume via tas it can be determined.
Goldeneye runners go off the in-game time, which only measures to the second

so I assume some of the levels that have like a 50+ way tie for the Agent WR are solved but I've never seen a Goldeneye TAS.

All but one Goldeneye TAS times are at least few seconds faster. Runway record is actually faster than the TAS (which is 7 years old). The TAS uses the hardest difficulty which makes the perfection even harder for the human players.

Would Runway TAS end up tying humans if it was redone? Now I'm curious :shobon:

Would other levels be available to go to that you hadn't theoretically unlocked yet because the game thinks it you are flying from this level then you must have done the others?
Levels are gated by moon quantity not by plot progress (that's why world peace% exists because you skip a lot of the boss battles in any%) so no, sadly.

I honestly didn't watch most of ESA Winter but I've been watching some runs this final day. Pokemon Crystal was kinda cool, but they were planning some new RNG manipulation strat where they consisently can get Entei, and when it didn't work after a couple tries they switched to another cart with a save that already had Entei in it. Weird poo poo, I've never seen that in a Marathon before.
I know runs have had backup saves prepared before at GDQs, I don't know if I've ever seen one that was actually used though.

They also now have "bit races" which are rando races (at least that's where I've seen it) where you pay bits to give/remove items/hearts/magic/money/arrows/bombs from the two racers. Very obviously a milking-money-out-of-viewers thing, but people are making GBS threads out bits left and right so again, :capitalism:
This actually owns and I have no problem with that blatant cash grab because it sounds like it would be funny to watch.

(I also think the SGs would get fewer subs than pie because pie is a single human being who is always on his own stream, if that makes sense?)
