I live in Copenhagen, and I'm considering going for a day. What's the best time to go if I wanted to meet up with some new goonpals?

If you haven't bought a ticket already I don't think you can just get entry.

Edit: also i think it's literally just me and kenny for goon attendees I can't think of anyone else

Now I’m regretting not going to ESA in person, it’d be cheaper for me than trying to go to GDQ, but still a small investment to do it. It would have been cool to see Punchy or Kenny in person there :3:

planks (event organiser) very passionately extolled the virtue of geoguessr to me so I'm gonna catch that

that's the type of poo poo that'd probably only get into ESA specifically because Planks loves travelling and seeing the world and poo poo.

Is this more posting than ESA usually gets?

Yes. Prev threads straight up died.

This is also more viewers than ESA usually gets at that. I think it's going well? And so far I really only have nice things to say about the event. I'm really glad that I haven't got poo poo to talk for the most part.

Mostly. Game choice/scheduling is still a bit all over the show but I guess it prides itself on being a bit more grabbag.

I PBed Quick and Crash in the arcade and now I'm going to bed. I leave you with a grumpy punchy take:

Megaman speedruns aren't bad but aren't really any better than the average NES run and are all also very samey so I'm kind of bewildered by the respect they are afforded as speedgames.

(kind of reflects how I feel about the games themselves but ain't that a take too hot)

aight peace watch Rabi Ribi on stream 2 tomorrow that run is loving sick thanks

That's the game that Steam will eternally recommend because I apparently like Indie games. I guess I'll finally get to see if it's any good.

It looks like booby anime game (and it sort of is a bunch of inane anime bullshit) but it's actually a bullet hell metroidvania with a really dizzying amount of content. I recommend it. Run is also crazy good and should've been on stream 1

Sounds like a Touhou fan game (or Bunny Must Die).

honestly yeah kinda but I reckon it has a novel enough take on the format to be worth a punt

I very much enjoyed my time with it even though I did just begin skipping through the cutscenes at the halfway mark because the anime was far too inane for me. I just didn't care. Plot is incomprehensible and unnecessary. Gameplay tho is hella tight, was a fan.

is this actually a thing


i.... i played it too (gamecube, i think?)

The PS1 versions of these games is one of the best selling games in the UK for that console. It's a strangely universal experience.

The PC versions were more popular in more PC centric regions. Hence the run you see before you

Having hashed it out now I am also commentating two runs on Saturday. Plus I got my own thing with Celeste on Thursday.

Kingdom Hearts birth by sleep (makes sense) and sonic mania

sonic mania is the confusing one because I actively dislike that game and the runner knows this but he seems to think it'll be funny so ok then hope everyone likes me being incredibly unchill and trashing Manias poo poo bosses live on air

I'm with Studio in that I remain completely unsold on the second stream thing and i think it's kind of transparently bad for the event

but idk they seem to know that and I think they're just willing to eat that to put on as many games as they can?

I am enjoying the event and I think it is definitely the best ESA so far and a pronounced step up from previous events but it still is trying to find it's own angle rather than being another GDQ.

I'm just not sure if being "another GDQ" is all that bad.

Games I Have Learned at ESA so far:

Pringles
Pingu Sekai de Ichiban Genki na Penguin
Fallout (partially)
Rabi Ribi (poo poo out a bad coop run with someone in like 40 minutes idk it barely counts)

pingu was good because Linkboss set up a cool leaderboard for it but I had to wait until early morning anyway because there was some useless jackass hanging around heckling people who didn't immediately understand how to play.

Like of all the games to act like a fuckboi about can you pick a more worthwhile one

I just got intruded on by a "please restart computer" prompt instead because PC gaming
