I'd love to donate, but I'm so strapped financially this month I will have to send my support virtually this time.

Donations up to $50,000 are being matched by an anonymous donor, that's awesome!

Worth quoting.

And no ESA donation amounts have not rivaled (or probably will) with GDQ and it's kinda pointless to expect that, unless something really strange will happen this year. But I guess every little bit helps like people said earlier.

The main room looks pretty small compared to last year they were at Vxj indoor sports arena. I think they're at a hotel now?

KennyMan666, the other threads OP, is also there - and in #speedruns on synirc (which everyone should totally hang out in) he said he's also gonna be hosting later on.

I've been using IRCnet ever since I started using IRC around 1998 or so. I'm assuming I can't readily join up with my regular mIRC connection?

You can, it's just a regular IRC channel.

I know but I'd have to connect to SYNirc server specifically? That's what I mean. Since all my other channels are on IRCnet.

drat I slept through the start of the marathon, but it looks like the DS3 was pretty good so I'll catch that later.

Yes. The Finnish stereotype is pretty accurate as well, if you remember how Kotti spoke during Arabian Nights. We know all the words and vocabulary but pronunciation is kinda strange.

I love the Cuphead aesthetic but from what I gather I'd be annoyed by the difficulty, so watching speedruns of it is a good alternative.

If you want your donation read this is absolutely the event to do it in. There will probably be runs during EU wee hours where it's quite slow (which I guess means prime time for you americans) so do donate during those as well, if you can!

Should we try to get a name in for FFIX? Some character that will be in the party a lot could be Samus.

Or Punchy.

Please donate for the Hornet cosplay for Hollow Knight. It's halfway and needs 500$ more.

"Ushebti will cosplay as the Hornet from Hollow Knight while running the game!"

Wish I had so much money to spare I could do some random snipes to every bid war.

I'm still maintaining we should try to get Punchy in FFIX, either for Steiner or Quina.

All of that for a 9 minute speedrun lmao

I'm guessing it will pay off for the upcoming NES games as well.

Unless they just spent 30 minutes trying to blow on the Gremlins 2 cartridge.

Good news, everyone!

Seriously I have no idea how that cosplay will even look but I like

- Hollow Knight
- Hornet
- incentives getting met

so even though it looks like the run will be pushed late I will catch it.

So, fun fact about the Red Bull, if I have everything correct: ESA Winter was sponsored by Red Bull. We got free Red Bull and Red Bull Cola, and there were Red Bull brand fridges of varying sizes in the venue.

The fridges you see on stream and some more in the stream room are the same fridges as on ESA Winter. Red Bull doesn't sponsor this ESA, but apparently they never came to get their fridges back and we had a whole lot of Red Bull left over too. So... free ice cream, free popcorn, and free Red Bull. And a discount at the local Domino's from which I just ate a pizza that was definitely too big but whatevs, next time I'm getting a smaller size though.

How's the venue this time? Seems like it's a bit smaller than the indoor arena.

blizzard put her in the game as the obvious nerdbait people were supposed to make all the horney fan art of.

the internet instead collectively decided that lol no, she's a garbage nerd

There is plenty of that other kind of fan art of D.Va as well, though.

Well, yeah. More so than SGDQ, even.

I can't remember if I played the original of this game. I know I played a Mickey game on the Genesis as a kid. I think it had Mickey and Donald in it, though.

You're thinking of World of Illusion

Also: Stream is being run on the in-hotel TV so I've been in my room since Gremlins 2 but still seen everything since. Gonna head back down now though, def want to actually be in the audience for Hollow Knight.

I wish they'd show the DLC and fight Nightmare King but it's any% so probably not.
