You are the filth.



It’s over :sadday:

That was super great watching and posting about ESA with you again speedfriends, I’m sure we’ll see each other around SA and on discord over the following months, and I’m definitely looking forward to the next event we can post about together! I still have a bunch of VODs of games I really want to watch so it’s almost like it’s not over yet.

I mentioned this earlier and no one seemed to object (but apologies if it’s unwelcome) so it would be fantastic if anyone would like to follow and watch & chat to me sometime on twitch while I’m casually playing games, but also very much trying to learn to speedrun Dragons Dogma soon, here is my twitch:

While it is a :sadday: that the marathon is over, I'm stoked that so much money was raised for a good cause :comfyoot:

These threads are always a and I'm glad that so many speedfriends can hang out with basically zero drama :kazooieass:

As a casual fan I am optimistic about ESA's future and :sanix: beyond stoked :sanix: for AGDQ and cautiously hopeful for fun times at GDQX.

:same: I've also been going through a bout of depression and haven't been enjoying my usual nerdy hobbies lately. I don't like not being able to do something as simple as turn on a stream and shitpost. At least I'm going to have plenty of videos to catch up on when I'm starting to feel better.

I'm playing jackbox games in the post ESA main stream and man is it hard to play this game with people who consistently put in edgy unfunny answers.

So I will close the thread at some point Monday night. If anyone can post a list of good runs, then I will add them to the OP.

So enjoy two more days of :comfysamus: posting and then we rest for a few months. Until then, :justtrans:

EDIT: What was the final tally?

I think Kenny's gonna do that based on the recs we gave 'em. I'm still checking the VODs to see if I missed anything good.

When it comes to two threads for ESA, he wrote a good post about it:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3863774#post486555959

I think it's safe to say that we can go with just one thread for ESA; make it the seriously chill thread. I had no trouble having the reaction chat and the serious questions in the same place.

Although I have to admit I didn't really watch much of ESA winter this year. I was kinda oversaturated about speedrun events at that point. And there's still 2 GDQ events to go before next ESA! So who knows.

Okay, cross-thread-posting, woo! Here's my recs for this event.

TeaJay posted:

Okay, from what I saw live, have to catch some VODs still:

Stream 1

- Hollow Knight - good tech and commentary and some nice cosplay too
- Tony Hawk's American wasteland - even if you're not familiar with TH games this is a real fun run with a good banter going on
- El Matador - bouncing through the scenery
- Geoguessr - How on earth can they run Geoguessr?? Watch and find out, an awesome run
- Silent Hill 3 - Despite the game working against him, Punchy pulls through, some great goon donations as well
- Bionic Commando Rearmed - Had a dev both playing and commenting the run
- Battletoads - TMR gets crowned the king of speedruns and pulls off the impossible
- Arabian Nights - Watch the Kotti run from AGDQ 2018 first and then this one. It's great
- Celeste - Punchy with a real impressive run here with great commentary
- Batman: The video game - How close can a race get?
- Super Mario 64 relay race - It's chaos, it's fun, it's one of the best runs of the event
- Star Wars Jedi Academy - High-speed action, action, action
- Hitman: Blood money - To quote Kotti: "It's fun when things go wrong"

Stream 2

- Dog's Life - live routing
- Pingu - GOODPLAY
- Wild Animal Racing - this a thing you should see
- LA Noire - The glorious trainwreck
- The Useful Dead - Kenny shows off a game with an interesting death abuse mechanic

$71,392.46, but I think that's not including the $50,000 of matching donations from the anonymous donor, so $121,392.46 overall.

It also doesn't include Twitch subs and bits, or their share of the games that you could get from chrono.gg.

Popping in to say, I think we have a finalized list for GDQx:

Only 56 hours. I'm sure some nut jobs in this thread can manage to stay up for 56 hours straight.
