DEEP STATE PLOT posted: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. By your logic if all those posters are actually gone then there should be no problem in making a chat thread. Also the whole reason the chat thread was made was because the number of people interested in speedruns had increased and shifted away from people who just wanted hardcore, serious discussion at all times. Going back to one thread just diminishes that interest. Look, every year GDQ has supposed to be a feelgood event for me. Until last time it was. The discourse in the chat thread had definitely shifted away from what I enjoyed the most (I really didn't care for any kind of fanart spam), but it was not nearly as problematic as you're making it out to be. It was still really enjoyable at times. All we need is someone to actually put the barest minimum of effort of addressing reports rather than just shutting down an entire thread. Or just have a no fanart rule. Its really a loving simple thing, but the people banning it don't actually care about this event at all.

It does lose some of the useful functionality of the serious thread but 90% of the serious thread was people asking which runs were good which, yeah, ok, that's actually pretty valuable but can probably be delayed until nearly the end. We can use this thread however we like in the meanwhile, yeah?

There's also nothing stopping people from posting fan art of bird phallus in either this thread or the Discord, which might get it shut down. That said, I think you should try to give the Discord a shot, Internet Kraken. It's not the same as SA, sure, but I think it benefits from updating automatically (instead of having to refresh the page every twenty seconds), it's easier to upload images, and there's voice-chat if you have a mic. The Discord also has emoticons for  ,  ,  , and  as well!

Yay SGDQ thread!  iospace posted:Please keep a running count thanks! As to the whole lack of a chat thread, I think it's unavoidable this thread will get fast when people are excited - but since I expect people are imposing a restriction on posting fanart and a lot of other stuff in the thread, it'll hopefully work out. Internet Kraken posted:Discord is an inherently different experience. I used it before and didn't like it compared to the chat thread.

AGDQ 2020: the Chat Thread returns, and in turn heralds the return of Bonesaw577 and a new Jak and Daxter run.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted: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. This is basically my wish too. It was really fun when we were posting reaction images, comments and memes - that were related to the game being played. When there wasn't as much to comment, it was slower, and that was fine too. There's no need to "fill" the emptier spaces with random fanart spam completely unrelated to what's going on. I'm gonna try to hold the fort EU side mornings/afternoons, since my evenings are pretty busy with work. The schedule seems pretty good, monday starting with NES stuff and wednesday afternoon looks suspiciously like a silly games block. e: here are the Yetee designs https://theyetee.com/collections/sgdq TeaJay fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Jun 23, 2019 |

I think if you look at the current schedule, pick any consecutive ten hours of games in it, and replace it with "here's a long-rear end RPG", the event overall gets worse. They're good for filling time on the B stream though, when the event has one.

Don't get me wrong, I've been known to watch long rear end 100% runs of various games on twitch and youtube, I just don't think they're appropriate for gdq because they take up such a large part of a finite schedule. When I can watch an hour of a run, go to bed, get up, eat breakfast, and they're still running the same goddamn game, it's too long.

I was in town for last SGDQ and I wanted to stick around for the finale, but I couldn't make that kind of commitment. :/ Coasterphreak posted:It's this.

the JRPG guys get like one long rear end run per event max and they tend to hit homeruns when they get them from a "representing the cross section of runner communities" perspective gently caress it man just give them their run don't be a bitch

It's a harsh world being a JRPG runner because holy poo poo you will never get the GDQ run if it's not one of the super recognisable mainstream franchises like FF or Chrono Trigger or some poo poo.

Wait, that was literally just a once-ever thing? I honestly thought it was great because you could have long-rear end RPGs and stuff on one stream and still get a bunch of variety on the other one, which solves one of the issues with having really long games in a marathon. It seems especially good in a world where you have so many people that want to run that you're turning away a bunch of games entirely. But it's probably a whole bunch of extra effort on the part of the organizers and tech team, so I guess I wouldn't blame them too much if they looked at it and figured it wasn't worth it.

Maybe the solution for these sorts of games is to invent some shorter categories for marathons - rather than a full FF7, do a “Aeris %” that cuts off at the end of Disc 1 or whatever, so it’s only four hours instead of eight. Still long enough to show off step routing, some tricks, Slots abuse, etc...but not taking up hours on end. It’s not a perfect solution but might help for games where it’s feasible.

Thread stickied!  Have fun and  I hope this year is fantastic! There is no reason you cannot chat and serious post in this thread, just none of the horny art from last time. Oddities and cool art is not prohibited, just the bad stuff from last time.Internet Kraken posted:Do we seriously not get to have a chat thread just because the mods can't be arsed to their loving job. Also this is not quite the case. The issue is that I am unable to sit and read a whole thread that never stops moving for the length of time SGDQ lasts. If I was off work and had the time, I would be much more hands on with it but I do not have the ability to do so. It only takes one post to start a snowball effect while I am asleep and then six hours later when I awake there has been issues. Honestly, I think if we use this thread as serious and light chat, that will be the best of both worlds and more like the originals. It cannot hurt and I will try to keep up with it.

Hello speedfriends! I am once again excited to post with you during these wonderful events, I do love watching some speedrunning and enjoying it with everyone. As always I'll be debating with myself to try to get good at the one game I (infrequently, as I haven't for months) speedrun and think about submitting it to an event in the future. Maybe I'll think of a different game I would like to speedrun too!

Unlike most people i'm going to actually try to not play any games during this GDQ. Trying to focus on my art and GDQ has always proven to be good background noise for that.
