Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



in all seriousness tho i am hopeful that this thread can be more like the earlier gdq threads, where it's really active, but not to the point of being completely impossible to follow or hold any actual conversation in. the newer threads got way too fast and all the fuckin fanart made me kinda stop following the threads anywhere near as much as i used to.

anyway this is the strongest day 1 they've had for like, a long time, so i am stoked.

Am I gonna be able to chat without giving jeff bezos money this time around or am I just gonna have to stare at pleb chants for a week again?

I had a super sick burn about homemade plush toys and perlers but the donation incentives this year look way better than usual so it just doesn't seem like the right time. Special shoutout to Bit Brigade for donating not one, not two, but three albums as incentives at a very reasonable $5 entry. Highly recommend checking out their tour schedule if listening to game jams while watching their friend speed run games seems up your alley.

I'm happy that it's GDQ time! I'd like to again draw attention to the Speedfriends Discord if you're looking for a more chatty experience, where the posts are fast and free and the quotes are empty, or as empty as we can get them on discord. Everyone's welcome!

What are you looking forward to this time? Local boy Pythonicus's hosting block monday morning looks like it's made mostly of lesser-known things that I think would be fun to see. I've always dug Half-minute Hero.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
I am still deeply ashamed of the tastelessness i added to the previous thread. I apologised profously in other avenues but there no way to that here. Sorry.

I'm curious about this too, because I enjoy the lax nature of the chat thread, and all the dumb shitposts and memes make it absolute fun, and something I looked forwarded to during every event. The posts generated from Awful Block for the last couple years back literally had me crippled over with laughter.

We also got great emoticons out of it, like :pepsi: :comfysamus:, and :kazooieass:

If the mods did their actual jobs then a handful of people being weird creeps shouldn't ruin something for everyone else.

eonwe posted:

No I think we should because this was written off last event as "it'll be discussed later".

The chat thread had been around for years without issue before. Then some people who don't even care about this forum wandered in and ruined it for everyone because they couldn't be arsed to actually police the problematic posters. Multiple people have offered to actually do that for them but they didn't care then, and apparently don't care now.

loving cool.

Discord is an inherently different experience. I used it before and didn't like it compared to the chat thread.

The problem is we had this thread for ages and just because things got out of hand once it has to be gone forever? It had become my favorite part of GDQ. And there are multiple potential solutions to this problem but people from other parts of the forums don't give a poo poo. They'd rather just shut down the fun for everyone.

Its lovely and its seriously a disappointment.

Discord doesn't really have the same emptyquote functionality, which is like at least 90% of why I liked the chat thread.

Okay that was a lie but not really.

Dumb assholes being stupid and and doing hurtful things that result in changes that makes things worse for everyone else.

The Chat threads could alternate between semi-serious discussion and :emptyquote: insanity.

I don't know that much about Discord, but it seems like you're not able to look back at older posts if you missed them. Conversely, we've got archives of the old Chat threads here on SA.

it didn't just get out of hand once. it only actually got addressed once. the creepy fanart was not a new phenomenon and it had already driven me from posting anywhere near as much in those threads before the most recent one.

we also had just one thread for ages before the chat threads existed. perhaps we should try that again, especially as 99% of the posters from the last chat thread proudly proclaimed on discord that they were not going to post on somethingawful ever again after the last thread got iced, thereby greatly diminishing the need for a second thread.
