I've got a date I scheduled around the start time for Ring Fit (already a risky proposition, I know, trying to schedule for GDQ runs) and it would be a real bummer if my date's first exposure to GDQ was an incentive not being met. "Babe wanna come over to my place to gdq and chill?"

BoldFace posted:I don't get why they don't bring some extra studio lights with them. The whole thing looks like it's being shot at candle light. Same problem every year. The stage lights have literally given me headaches bad enough to leave the stream room. They exist. I'm going back down with sunglasses in a bit. I am also light sensitive nowadays so take that with a mine of salt.

Oh also their opening games are a lot weaker this time around. Agdq had BotW, Splatoon 3 and Crash by this point in the marathon. Perfect storm for a weak opening, but gdq isn't really an Opening kind of event

This F-Zero X run is really cool though, always loved this game.

Kestral posted:Agreed on both counts, and man, Ring Fit is a bit of a stretch too at $45k. Fingers crossed, I really want to see that one. i've said it before but they really need to tie bonus games and incentives to total donations raised rather than specific things to donate towards. i can't imagine how much of a bummer it is to practice for an incentive only for it not to be met because either your game is too niche or they amount was just too high, and a non-trivial amount of donations go through without being put towards anything.

I used to think this game looked awful and charmless when it first came out, but I don't think I've ever seen all these later courses until now. The 60 fps is great and some of these later tracks, like those with pipes and a lot of verticality, are pretty cool. Glad I stuck around for this one.

Perfect storm for a weak opening, but gdq isn't really an Opening kind of event imo the overall lineup is a lot weaker, but that's fine cuz my tastes aren't everyone's and it also makes it way easier to watch the runs i actually wanna watch. i'm kinda zoned out till minish cap and the next thing i care about after that is...link between worlds, i guess. wednesday is the first day full of bangers, i am stoked for everything from trine through true crime. give me toilet paper is also prolly a real fun run but it's at a total garbage time slot so welp.

When you're not in time trial it keeps that framerate up with a shitload of other cars on the course.

The way they have the lighting is so weird. The runner looks like they're going to break out sweating under the stage lights and the audience/couch are invisible.

Hopefully Ring Fit gets met though, because I like those sorts of runs. I don't think they've done any massive Yetee/Fangamer drops yet and I assume a lot of people buy their shirts pretty early in the marathon, so presumably that's a bail-out for the incentive if needed.

there thankfully wasn't the big bank kablooie i was expecting a couple months back, but i imagine everyone's still keeping their hands on their wallets for the most part. CAD still having a poo poo conversion rate ain't helping me, at any rate not gonna worry too much about incentives since i'm sure they'll be proactive and start scaling them back if the trendline isn't fitting well after the first day or so

This does seem to be a solid speedrun and the runner is fine, but "I'm going to abuse check points to finish challenges in the simplest way possible" just isn't all that exciting to me as someone who doesn't know the series.

I'd have donated by now but I lost my job just before agdq and I'm still unemployed  Pretty hyped for minish cap, always thought that was underrated and I can imagine there's some fun tricks.

At least a Luigi's Mansion race should be pretty hype if the Yetee doesn't save the ring fit incentive.

I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of casual GDQ fans who don't actively follow the speedrun scene wouldn't even know that the marathon had started. Probably expecting it to be a month or two later.

They have about an hour and twenty minutes to raise another $23k. I have concerns. Math Edit: that's about $290 per minute.
