>playing a game while watching watching SGDQ
>jump down and find a treasure chest
>say "ooo a treasure chest" at the same time as Rikku
I love her.
Rikku is the only good character in FFX
Just made the best bacon and scrambled egg sandwich of my life AMA
what kind of bacon and bread?
Don't leave us hanging anon, share the recipe.
Well bacon is piss easy to cook so I don't need to tell you how to cook it, but with the eggs you want a bunch of butter in a saucepan and spread it round on medium heat. Then put the eggs in unwhisked and let the yolk get a tiny bit white then whisk the frick out of them with a spatula in the pan as they cook. Once it starts sticking to the pan take it off the heat while whisking (never stop), once the eggs are at the point where they're still liquid but about to turn solid put salt and pepper in. Then keep taking it off and on the heat while whisking until the eggs are fluffy
Didn't ask/eggs are gross
bacon is a disgusting meat
have a nice day
eggs are good shit
>bro muh nutri-
No one cares.
listen the problem is that it tastes bad and has terrible, i couldn't give a frick about nutrition
fricking pepperoni is the greasiest shit ever absolute pizza ruiner
*terrible texture soz
you've got me so worked up anon
>I don't like bacon so you should have a nice day!
chill out dude lmao
I CAN'T
Bacon is amazing meat.
Eggs are disgusting shit.
unbelievably false
get a hold of yourself
>no title for the third time today
also no previous, autism triggered
This run is better than the MGR run so far imo.
>Press A: the run
>Better than MGR
Actually have a nice day
>it's just le bad because- it just is!
Did anything fun happen between Ocarina of time and FFX?
Ass-to-mouth
at least the pepperoni's are edible
pepperoni also a garbage meat
Ah, the pepeloni
Put sgdq in the fricking title you prick
turn it off, let it cool, easy way to clean all of it
How did you not smell that shit my dude
At least it didn't catch fire
>Jannies are still in these threads in non american hours
Lol
>better runs in non american hours
they just keep losing dont they
this gets me every time I see it
one of the funniest pictures on the internet
This is pizza on a plastic board or something right? Can't be cheese.
How would you even clean that up? Im sure all that plastic hardened up after it cooled down.
>that portal run
whats the point
TAS runs are good when they are either fun or can showcase some weir unintended (impossible to do) mechanics
in portal they just do the exact same thing normal runner does but a bit faster
I didn't like the portal run either but you're an absolute moron
Holy shit I've never thought of using crushmas like that
mmm peppelloni
yep, Im thinking this run is comfy-kino.
Exactly. Mega-comf incoming.
boring as shit*
Did I miss any good runs or cringe kino on Friday? I was out for work.
Shit MGR was that good? Worth watching whilst I wait for the FFX snoozefest to end?
Im not your mother, make your own damn decisions.
Yes. It got better and better as it went on. The ending was kino.
yes, unironically quality stuff
No it was shit, don't believe this guy, the MGR run the runner skipped a majority of the map using out of bound glitches, used the FOX blade which is insta kill on weaker enemies and massive dmg on lowers, used the machete on bosses to get 3 hit kills. Also he never did any of the slow mo blade attacks.
You and spike would make good friends
How is Spike wrong again?
Because it was the best run of the entire marathon and he hadn't done himself any favors with his runs, so it just came across as being butthurt because people were enjoying things
The post was pure cope
>if you preferred this actually entertaining run to my boring incomprehensible shit then you don't really like speedrunning
sounds like he speedran the game, what's the issue?
Yeah I wonder why you wouldnt do a slowmo blade attack in a speedrun. Really joggin the noggin here
He isn't, but the people watching this marathon for the nitty gritty shit with speedrunning are the minority. People are watching for entertainment and to see the cool tricks not to know "uh you need to manage your RNG here by hitting this subpixel precision yump clip"
mgr run was so fricking overrated. Literally just a barebones playthrough of the game and a mute runner.
>BUT HE MADE LE FUNNY FACES AND MOUTHED THE SHITTY MEME SONGS
grow up.
>t. sliced his wiener off
frick off keizaron
moron
I didn't know we had gdq staff in the thread. Maybe you should stop being such a b***h and stop being the fricking fun police 24/7.
Shut the frick up SpiteVegeta
people will mock you but i acknowledge the truth in your post
appreciate it. I dunno why the entire event sucking means everyone drops their standards so low. Also genuinely shocked Ganker isn't fatigued on MGR meme shit from the last year.
looks like someone hates fun
It was Reddit the run, but nuGanker will praise it just because the runner said "based"
>mute runner
>the runner said based
keep your bait straight homie
Did you even watch the run? The runner talked plenty after the main game was run.
>being this dumb
read the post he was replying to (which was his own post most likely)
>Did you even watch the run?
Yes which is why I know the runner didn't say "based" it was one of the guys commenting.
You're right, unfortunately. Compared to the best runs of previous events
>Yoshi's Island
>Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
It was shit. Ganker only liked it because of the le quirky runner being hyperactive and the chronically online commentators
you both can enjoy godless nights with keizogay and troons, the rating is nothing to do with Ganker.
the run consists of the purest quality of good comms with a banter, a good runner that holds a 7th place (gets a CBT... later) that lets himself focus on the run and not on the comms, and good execution with small amount of chokes.
you play good, you play fast, you explain tricks = you get A/S.
you play like shit, you do slow strats, you're being a homosexual = you get a Z/F.
simple as is. if using FOX blade and OOB exploits is faster, why a runner shouldn't use these? are you that fricking moronic to consider using a slower shit in a run, when the runner himself said he's not doing any of it?
please, give me more runs dated 2017-2022 with comparable energy, skill, commentary, and i'll consider myself switching my own rating of MGR from S to A.
Kys prize goblin.
>gets a CBT later
a-anon?
ESL
I don't get why people act as if this was the best run ever, this shit happens every fricking GDQ.
>marathon has a good run
>SSSSSS++++++ BEST RUN EVER! NOTHING WILL EVER COMPARE AGAIN
>next marathon has a good run
>SSSSSS++++++ BEST RUN EVER! NOTHING WILL EVER COMPARE AGAIN
Meka has run several times and even fricking said as much and those were good runs too.
it's all relative. if it's a run worth going back and watch at the end of the event, then the S or whatever is justified. all those S+++ runs rarely get brought up as regularly as actual legendary runs like bonesaw's jak & daxter run, blindfolded mtpo, or agdq 2014 f-zero gx.
I get the feeling "many more godless nights" will live on
We certainly did get some good quotes this GDQ
What are you going to do about it?
There are also good runs that get Fs and Ds but ADD riddled asshats and contrarians who despise almost any meme game where people in the audience actually liven up regardless of if the run is short and sweet and the game is functionally fine
God i just KNEW you contrarian shitstains would pop up. Absolute fricking child. Frick off
yeah just because it's Ganker squad saying based kek and calling the game reddit doesn't mean it's a great run.
Why are ALL Celeste runners transfolk?
The game is made by one and he shoehorned in some story about it.
Why is Super Mario Sunshine cringekino?
They removed the memory card to make it so no "save game?" prompts would appear and save time then got a game over 40 minutes in. The runner very clearly was on the verge of a panic attack
choked and lost 40 minutes of progress and he started hyperventilating and almost cried on camera
>What are you going to do about that?
still makes me crack up like a moron just thinking about it
It's honestly up there with
>Can you stop?
and
>I'd really prefer if you'd be quiet
as far as GDQ quotes go. The perfect combination of direct and socially inept at the same time.
>The way Micheal Cera just drives the knife deeper and deeper into his back.
That was brutal man
Super Mario sunshine being so high up. I kinda missed a few days for being banned.
why was portal 2 so badly rated?
it was a mp4 of TASbot playing
>not a speedrun
they didnt even get the R.O.B thing? I cant find it on youtube
>pokemon diaper remake
i missed that hot mic thing, any links or qrd?
It's REALLY not interesting, just some dude saying blah blah over an interview for a few minutes
Hungry AND now I'm horny >:c
pizza pockets were invented for people like you
pizza pockets would have prevented the cutting board from melting?
no. pizza pockets doesn't require that.
Prebaked frozen pizza also don't need a cutting board under it. pizza pockets wouldn't have raised the IQ from the guy making the mistake.
Just pop the pizza pocket in the microwave. If you were smart enough to use the oven correctly, you wouldn't need this talk.
>pizza pockets wouldn't have raised the IQ from the guy making the mistake.
no it wouldn't. cooking a pizza pocket however is brainless.
Anon he would have put the pizza pockets into a highly reflective bowl.
there's instruction on the box and that wrapper. It's a lot harder to frick up. reflective bowls are microwave safe, unless you mean a metal bowl.
>reflective bowls are microwave safe
Put something into a reflective bowl and stick it into your microwave. Nothing bad will happen, but you'll be surprised at what happens to your food.
>metal bowls
Won't frick up your microwave.
I guess the reflective bowl cooks the food even faster since the bowl would reflect all of the microwaves towards it.
would overcook the food but it's a lot better than melting a tray in the oven, which my point that pizza pockets were invented for people like you. no it wouldn't break your microwave, I was trying to understand what you meant with the bowl. you only meant it cooks the food more.
The opposite can also happen deoending on the angle, the food doesnt cook at all. It will acause the dish or bowl to become so hot that you can burn yourself badly just by touching it in both cases.
>there are directions
Theres also directions on a pizza box. That doesn't stop people from doing moronic shit if they're moronic.
you're literally comparing a melted tray in the oven to an overcooked hotpocket in the microwave.
>you're literally comparing a melted tray in the oven to an overcooked hotpocket in the microwave.
kek
What's worse, a melted tray or personal injury?
personal injury, but you keep adding what ifs. what we have right infront of us is a melted tray and and easier form to cook a pizza variety.
What we have is someone so moronic that they cook a pizza on a plastic tray in an oven and you, who thinks they won't frick up cooking something in a microwave.
yes, higher likely chance on not fricking up an easier way to cook a pizza pocket. if I had the moron and have him choose one method over the other, I'd choose the pizza pocket and microwave.
>he would have put the pizza pockets into a highly reflective bowl.
What's wrong with that?
The method to cook a pizza pocket is easier.
>pizza pockets would have prevented the cutting board from melting?
>pizza pockets wouldn't have raised the IQ from the guy making the mistake.
You seem to be jumping all over the place
>not even half way into this run yet
I took a picture of my cat yawning the other day, she was cute.
post it
You are not prepared.
no you didn't stop making up shit and posting it on the internet
Comfy
ffx's ost is so fricking good
I won't go easy on you next time
Live and let live!
Live and let live!
goo luck fren it don't get no harder xd
When will Anonymous donate the big $500,000?
Why would you use the grill for this?
Just use the solid tray.
They did use a solid tray, it just melted.
>GDQ not in the title
I'm struggling to keep my eyes open please send me your strength.
アニマ!!!
Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your temple!?
Yes. And you may not see it.
Live and let live!
KFC haha, Kilika Fried Chocobo haha
>Kilika Fried Chocobo
There are better KFC alternatives out there
I wanna fap to Shiva
who is stopping you
These donations are actively detracting from the run, man. Also, I want to bake something to keep myself awake during the rest of this run, but I can't decide between
>oatmeal craisin cookies from scratch but i have no mixer
>brownie mix best by 2019
please send help
mix best by 2019
This. Don't be a gay. It's not getting any better.
Speedrunning is the most soulless form of gaming.
Have you seen most of the runners? Soulless bunch trying to get a soul.
IT makes for some funny content sometimes tho.
>Got banned for 3 days for posting a troons face from one of the runs
Epic. Really shows how low Gankers mods have fallen.
Bros I don't want GDQ to end, I'm gonna go back to being alone
You will always have Ganker.
ESA starts in 3 weeks.
ESA threads are boring though.
Only slow threads and no stream to watch with my Gankerros.
Might as well kms at that point
Where's this nonsense about ESA threads being "boring" come from, I don't remember the ESA threads being any worse or really slow, they were plenty fast, maybe a little slow at dead hours but it's not like these threads are popping during dead hours either.
They're slow and full of Eurogays.
>full of Eurogays.
You think these arent?
Anon you adorable little moron these threads are chock full of euros as well
Yeah and that's why the only time GDQ threads are good are in the afternoon and evening America time
>Eurogay threads
YOU'RE IN ONE
I remember enjoying the ESA winte rthreads thoroughly and they were more than lively enough
I mean this thread isn't fricking thriving either anon
IT'S FRICKING PIKACHU
>bitching about euros
>at 8AM in america's easternmost timezone
i gave you the benefit the doubt even though your 2nd post made you seem moronic. i now know that was a mistake.
HAHA dumbass, the eastern most timezone is Guam. AMERICANS NEVER SLEEP
They're anything but slow, you're just ADHD ridden zoomer or something if you require GDQ moronic speed where people barely have actual conversations with each other.
You can always just play videogames
We'll be back soon bro, when ESA comes around.
iktf, i'm not ashamed to admit these threads a highlight for me. just getting to watch speedruns and funpost with some anons.
>genchinkgay
>alone
well deserved
Wasn't here at the start, how is his coolie predicting enemy setups? Do encounters follow a pattern?
he can predict shit based on the damage he did at the start of the game
Damn that's pretty gay
the dude behind him has a RNG prediction program on his computer or something
>an annoying c**t
Trash run, didn't even do the Home skip.
teedoos
>finally got to donate after getting my first paycheck
Made me laugh aloud. Hilarious.
How is he so strong when he's barely used the sphere grid???
Why is the game saturation 300%
High IQ "gameplay" you got here turn-based tards.
Cope, turn-chads always win.
XVI will be shit
RPGs are literally only fun to minmax and maybe play once more after that for the satisfaction of destroying the game once you understand thr best strategies. After that they're fricking garbage.
WHAT THE FRICK THERE'S AN ELEVATOR FOR THOSE STAIRS????
About to play Half Life 2: Episode 2 again. Wish me luck.
Post yfw low key tho the music in rpg runs be bussin ong fr
Why did he do it?
>people called him dance dad
>actually a 24 balding virgin
No fricking way this dude is 24
One man should not have all that power.
You can see him imagining a life with the girl that sits next to him. No wonder the creep got banned and later Swatted during his dumbass dance stream
He got swatted?
what please explain
last i remember was the last in crowd gdq where he brought a bunch of his homosexual buddies and they took up the front row all day fricking long all week
He's 37 moron
WHERE IS TOJII
>event is named Games Done Quick
>none of the games are quick
completing a 20+ hour JRPG in 4 hours is pretty quick bro
I miss old FF, the new ones dont have this amount of soul. They all seem cinematic experiences without all of the series charm.
the guy in the couch is checking the thread guys
say hi
prove it
he just gave a shootout to Ganker bros
HI SKINNY JEANS. I SAW YOU HAD A BONER AND STARTED TO HUMP THE CHOCOBO PLUSH.
Cutscene Remover probably has helped the sanity of runners of this, not to mention a single run doesn't mean most of their day is occupied
Imagine being the couch guy, going through hundreds or thousands of hours training for this "speedrun" with the runner. Imagine spending that much time sitting completely unmoving while having to deal with the runner's terrible and reptitive sense of humor, all for his 4 hours of fame in front of a troon audience. Imagine being that guy.
you know what? these guys are alright
Did he win the Blitzball match?
No
It went to overtime but yes, he won the match.
Nice, the Strength Sphere is so worth it.
Yeah.
>UNSANCTIONED MASK REMOVAL (LIVE) ON STREAM
>ACTION: SEND THE troony GESTAPO DEATH SQUAD
Anyone else getting the salami melon ad?
The runner and couch dude both sound like they're gonna fall asleep soon.
How heavy is the weight on weebs that the only girl that could make them happy doesn't exist? Like, some sweaty overworked japanese dude drew a picture, and now some sweaty never worked dude in the USA will never be happy. Fricking pathetic, but almost pitiable
>sweaty overworked Japanese dude draws my lewd anime girls
God that turns me on.
>eternal coom is the endstate
You know what, I'm kind-of glad you're a genetic dead end
>nooo you have to go out and waste your time on real women you can't be satisfied without real women!!
Okay simp.
The runner has been saying he got like 1 hour of sleep after dinner, which suggests he's been up all day, so it's understandable
on the other hand, listening to your pic's digital idol makes me want to sleep forever
same
i'm not going to make it to mgs2 bros..
Raiden wouldn't give up on you Anon.
Take a nap.
Do you think a lot of sex with strangers goes on behind the scenes at these things?
Happens at every convention
Has anything cool or interesting happened this stream?
Frick, I'm unironically enjoying this run lads, but I don't think I'll be able to stay up for the rest of this.
Define "this stream." The marathon has had some cool runs so far.
Sorry, I was being moronic. I ment this FFX run spcifically. Has it been any good?
Its been pretty nice and comfy all the way through. The runner and his couchman really are having some good fun with this game.
>Frick, I'm unironically enjoying this run lads,
How? Its just a 3 homies in a row mash A game.
Everyone who enjoys these "games" is moronic.
Actioncucks shouldn't be talking
Reminder not to encourage the people who only watch GDQ to start watching ESA and ruin our comfy threads. Let them believe ESA threads are shit.
luckily the worst of them won't watch esa out of principle. that principle being "it's boring because there's no trannies".
counterpoint: i'm american and therefore know that guam is not real.
I know a guy from guam, he was extremely gay and he is now a troony. I'm not memeing.
Yuna feeling bloodthirsty
I always thought staff users scaled negatively with phys atk...
>camera zooming in on the controller hand-off
more soul than i've come to expect from gdq
>calm lands
>full of enemy encounters
>froghomosexual
>thinks he gets to have opinions
welp the funs over bros, the Americans are wakening up
i haven't even gone to sleep yet, but i will soon *kisses you goodnight*
I haven't slept yet either, wanna cuddle?
Suck shit poor, daddys up
>commentator shutting down the orb shit
my snug is sustained
The best part of these long runs is that they're always set at fricked hours so the runner is always one step in the grave and that's where the shitposting begins.
Bros what are your favourite GDQ runs? For me it's
What game is that from?
Alisa or something. I forgot the exact name.
>conversation
Ma'am this is Ganker not Reddit. I want to shitpost about trannies not have 'conversations'.
>I want to shitpost about trannies
Nevermind, you have brain aids already, my bad. Carry on.
comfy
I love goatse
>goes for swag strats
>goes for nearly tas only strats
>shows off stupid shit like the labyrinth zone crash because why not
>still gets a really good time
>is chill as frick the whole time
>run gets taken down from the main channel
Why the frick would they try and remove such a GOAT run?
He got metooed
iirc he got into some sort of altercation at the hotel with someone who had drugs. drugs change hands at gdq, but i wouldn't refer to these interactions as drug deals. so that was no good.
but he also got #metoo'd or something by susan.
So he said earlier they used to run Rikku with items but now just faceroll with Yuna, is that a more recent thing and why wouldn't they think to just do that in the first place if it seems so much more obvious and easy? I kind of thought MP would be an issue but if they can route it out than whatever.
no one here is qualified to answer that question probably
People probably underestimated the time save between Bahamut and Rikku mixing ( consider all the different items you need to pickup too )
its very likely that the majority of speedrunning are just autists practicing the same thing over and over and no one stops to think hey, maybe we should actually try both of these things to see which is faster
instead of just saying LOLOLOL SUMMON ANIMATIONS? TOO LONG GET OUTTA HERE
Back in the day, the most common way to cheese the game was to spam Rikku's mix. They likely just defaulted to getting to that state as quickly as possible without bothering to check Bahamut.
>he unironically follows FFX speedruns
I kneel
Usually it requires someone to get very experimental and try new things out before it catches on with the rest of the community if it is a success.
I guess just the idea of long summon animations was enough of a deterrent that runners didn't even check the actual cumulative time until recently
That donation comment was actually kind of clever
even your trolling is neutered.
you never stood a chance anon, thank god you found some pixels
Cope
did I miss umarus run?
No it's later tonight.
No, she's up next
what's he doing? it sounded like he's looking for a specific steal and this was the entire point of tracking rng through their run
Not really, so what he wants is to get a "peaceful" accessory. IIRC this is a 5% drop from a rare monster called a "ghost." This accessory prevents all random encounters and saves a frickton of time.
interesting. i like watching his tech support trying to calculate ways to correct the rng.
Its actually really cool, I recently watched this video on it.
FFX was the last truly great turn-based rpg. Don't even @ me homosexuals.
Darkest Dungeon is the only good turn based rpg
>posts opinion online clearly with no question mark
not a homosexual
>the opinion is super fricking gay
mega homosexual
Darkest Dungeon is complete shit because the devs don't want you to have any fun whatsoever
Skill issue
I think Bravely Default carried the soul of those FF forward. The Brave system and the mixing of jobs was very cool.
The new ones are terrible tho, they really dropped the ball in what made FF unique.
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11 you mean
Abysmal writing, meaningless progression system, bad protagonist... Nah.
Wrong on all counts.
Great story, interesting progression system, GOOD protag.
You'll never have academic education with those brains.
Thank you. I am above the cattle wrangling hierarchies of ~~*academia*~~.
That's what dumb people always think...
The dumb and the smart.
I have the information of the world at my fingertips wherever I sit. Tell me O great one what need have I for the institutions?
You have some information available but lack all the capacity to comprehend it and handle it approparietly.
I need the guiding hand of moneyed and status seeking interests to tell me what I should be thinking?
Typical Black personcattle.
>lightning horse
>calls it pikachu
>Not Zebstrika
oh well
I haven't been paying attention, what's been going wrong in the run atm?
Basically they fricked up in tracking the RNG seed they have and they weren't able to pick up an accessory that prevents random encounters that is a rare drop from a rare enemy.
Hey guys, im headin to the cafe,
Want anythin??
Bro, get me a couple of hotdogs.
>tipping is forcefully included in the price
Do americans really?
yes. if you don't tip, you're the butthole in that scenario. it's moronic.
no actually, all the bullshit there is 10usd BEFORE regional tax and tip.
Lemme get that steak
That looks disgusting
le epic troll pedobean 😉 😉
Is Edobean in this event? I don't think she was announcing the Kirby game.
I just want to know a few things
Who told thst b***h that she wqs eating steak?
What's in the cup?
What restaurant sells roast beef and a baked potato as a meal?
Why didn't she show her breasts before she met her architect?
Fricking moron has a laptop with all the information but can't properly guide the runner.
this might be a turbochoke
>entire run depends on following the order of encounters
>miss one
>game is choked
I know GDQ is pretty gay but I still didn't expect to see 2 dudes grinding it out for 4 hours
he fricked up and the run is over unless he has a backup save
>he tracked RNG himself just to call the runner out
>Spock how many more encounters do we require
>10 sir
>good, keep monitoring for ghosts
trannies btfo
Genuinely moved by the TAS OoT run, some kind of child-like wonder.
The level people have gone to on this game is surreal
It honestly was super cool, though I really thought the end, when they were gonna look at the future, was gonna be a reveal for a romhack that was OoT but with all the beta content added in.
You were more on the money than me, I feel stupid I took it at face value that all the additional content was legit until the BotW model came out. Couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Tbh, I would have thought the same thing until sheik had the meme "are you a boy or a girl" question if it wasn't for the thread grounding my expections and saying that the story couldn't possibly be real.
Yeah I had moments at times like that when it didn't seem real, but he kept saying about it running on the N64 so it didn't seem possible to break the game so incredibly
Why is this moron going for no encounter equipment? You fricked up the manip already, quit wasting time for a item with a low drop rate to """save""" a few minutes you already wasted.
So, they basically can't get to the end of the game anymore? They're just gonna fill up the remaining hour?
No they just fricked up getting a RNG manipulated super rare drop.
i don't think so, the thing they were maintaining rng for is to avoid random encounters, and i don't see how that would effect them finishing the run.
I think they can get to the end of the game, the accessory they were going for just would have saved alot of time.
Does the estimate assume they would get the item?
I don't know that considering the estimate is created by the runner himself, but considering his rng tracker guy is basically a newbie, I would assume that the estimate was made with the idea they don't get it.
They fricked up the RNG to steal from the ghosts. Can still keep going.
No basically he has to do "flee" every encounter now instead of just skipping.
Would've saved time but whatever, tbh it's likely 3-5 mins saved all in all
>LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HORN
>OHNONONONONONO
bros, for fricking real:
how do they get 17 times the final money of ESA in 5/7 the time with only 3-4 times the viewer in recession?
only non shizo answers allowed.
its very literally money laundering, fat boy mike is the middle man for a human trafficking ring, he cleans all the money and sends it off under the guise of charity donations
a lot of companies use this event for tax writeoffs
thats what those "$1000 anonymous donations" are
It's money laundering
Thursday night at 9pm they hit 1m
By 11am Friday they hit 1.25m
In 14 hours they made %25 of what they made the past 5 days.
Its money laundering
And that was in off hours so nobody would notice
Corporate sponsors
i actually think they get a bunch of corporate money before the event they try and push as "anonymous donations" to try and encourage more people to donate near the end
speedrun / gdq historian here, gdq has a much cozier relationship with their charities and sponsors and the advantage of being an american event. japan and america are the biggest speedrunning countries, and american speedrunners run a wider variety of games (read: not dragon quest). so gdq is better supported and has a wider pool of potential runners to draw from, especially after the good old days of 2011-2013 when people like cosmo, siglemic, and all the SDA oldheads built the marathon's reputation as THE speedrunning marathon.
european speedrunning simply didn't have the big names that american speedrunning did when gdq was snowballing into what it is now. i think the closest europe had was adam_ak or joshimuz, both of whom ran gta. and it didn't help that esa resisted selling out for a few years after gdq really got big in 2014.
tl;dr gdq sold out to PCF and MSF and now has very cozy relationships with sponsors who want to see the marathon succeed because it's good for everyone with their fingers in the pie. it's too big to fail.
is this going to be over estimate since they fricked up the rng?
what's the time difference between with and without encounters?
Fricking Seymour showing up here in my playthrough just surprised the hell out me and he fricked my shit
>could have cancelled this run and saved plenty of other runs
Was Seymore really in the wrong?
I don't know, I just wanted to kill him for kissing Yuna.
Why? Yuna probably enjoyed swalloing the spit off his blue veiny tongue shoved down her throat.
Isn't he an incel?
yes, everyone is wrong but me.
Yes, by virtue of being half Guado. That makes everything he does half wrong, but we round up to full wrong because his hair is stupid
This is great boss music
That's not the boss theme.
Don't give a shit it's playing during it and works great, it plays during the Kimahri fight too

caras ffx speedrun is the greatest speedrun 'archievement' ever accomplished.
can anybody challenge this?
its so insane and the only speedrun related thing i respect.
elaborate, i'm curious
>hes a ffx speedrunner
>was 'big' OG streamer in in very ealy twitch - i think even justintv
>always did ffx speedruns
>later dropped off incredible
>he still continues with only around 80 viewers or less
>ffx speedruns took around 11h
>lots and lots of rng with incredible long cutscenes
>there was always the possiblity of getting a 'no encounter armor' which cuts all random battles as you would guess
>its around a 0.1% droprate everything considered
>but it only drops 8h into the run
>and you have to get it in a reasonable amount of encounters (6-8) or it wasnt worth it since you had to go out of your way in the first place for even an attempt to get it
>he gets that run
>the only person ever in an WR attempt
i love this dude aswell. hes always himself. im very grateful for his 10h ffx streams when i had a hangover. very respectable.
YOU'RE JUST A DREAM TIDUS
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE YOUR CAR
they shouldn't have runs over 3 hours on gdq. Its not really a speedrun and you could fit like 2 real speedruns in that time.
How much are you "it's too long!!!"-gays going to cope? You post this shit every year and no one ever gives a shit.
>giving your opinion on an image board is wrong!!!!1!!!11
Yes, when your opinion is this moronic you should honestly just keep that moronation to yourself.
homie how is this a speedrun if it isnt going fast
Beating a 30+ hour game in 4 hours is fast.
Getting to Zanarkand at this amount of time is pretty fast.
How fast was your run?
holy hell, I'm falling asleep. If I don't make it to the end, please give this run a ZzZzZ rating for me.
The inconvenient truth: Meka's run wasn't that good. He's run at events many times in the past and none of his runs have been so highly rated. The only reason the run was rated so high is because the rest of the event has been utter SHIT and Ganker overreacted to his high-energy antics on camera and his meme-loving commentators. The gameplay wasn't even that good, he choked a shitton, but Ganker will ignore that because le meme man.
he literally apologized for playing badly at the end of his run.
>Twitch
>GDQ
Frick off with your troony shit.
What JRPG's are even continuing the legacy of those FF nowadays? The Octopath like ones?
It sucks COVID destroyed the momentum of RPG Limit Break, the event had grown a lot since it's first inception and abruptly kyboshed
I really like long play rpg run at events, this is the ideal background stream with a comfy thread to browse at will
I like the yearly FFV runs they do
Please don't tell me the only reason SMW Celeste got an F was because of a trans flag or some shit
PLEASE
i rated it poorly because i'm just fricking tired of celeste. the hack was technically impressive in and of itself, but the run of it was very boring and the runner died a lot even early on.
They were continuously saying trans rights during the run, but the guy was good.
It was literally just Celeste but with the Super Mario World pallette. Like the other guy said, technically very, very impressive, but we already had a celeste run this marathon and this was just a rehash of part of it.
>2019: $3,039,596
>2021: $2,938,715
Did people blow their stimulus checks on GDQ?
>tfw if all the money from this event went to just me, it wouldn't even be life changing
I don't know, 2m (they are going to hit it) is a pretty good amount.
So you're already a millionaire, but still on Ganker?
>tfw $28,000 in savings
>Apparently this is better than most Americans
>Still feel poor as shit, will never own a house
Depends on how old you are Anon. If you're in your early 20s you're fine.
Yeah im 24
You'll be fine. You're going to own a house. Zoomers born much later than you are totally fricked though.
Most Americans in what age bracket? 20s?
I like the run but when they do these inside joke bits is annoying
>Zanarkand music
Lads the absolute feel of arriving at Zanarkand and this music starts playing
Yeah, its great moment, one of the best in the entire series
>cutscene remover
>4 hours
>no cutscene remover
>10 hours
jesus christ
Fun Fact: FFX is Kojima's favorite non-Kojima game
>those repulsive manly knees
Jesus christ anon spoiler that shit

Keep it vidya
omw to post dicky
Yes I want to fall asleep in them thanks, this run is making me sleepy
no thanks, laying on someone's lap is pretty uncomfy
only if you don't get a boner and poke it in my face
>speedrunned
>wake up
>sporting massive fat morning wood
>still an hour left for FFX
cool
I bet this is the only attention you get the entire year you pathetic fat frick
meant for
trans too btw if that mattters...
Nah, I just usually post in GDQ threads near the end.
Any time I want attention I just go to my twitter or my gf lmao.
This run is comfy.
meant for
my trans gf told me to quote the wrong post lmao
Hm, I wonder what you're gonna do in this hour.
>OoT beta
>that range
????
Run rating depends if you enjoy artificial fun
>love letter to the event with some neat hacking
>bitter nofun homosexuals just reeeing and screaming cringe at everything
recreation, not the actual beta content
it was using arbitrary code execution to mod in 20% beta content 70% tvtrope fanfiction 10% le BotW + chat integration
>sell run as using ACE to code in beta functions that actually exist on the cart which is interesting
>then 25% of the way into the TAS just go full on fanfic mode that has nothing to do with the leaked OoT stuff and is just made up rumours
>literally called a "beta showcase"
>turns out to be tasbot ACE shit that pulls in some unused assets
>questline is fanfic tier rumours compiled into a quest chain
>ends with link getting the triforce then turns into botw + twitch chat integration
I'm only salty because I thought it was going to be actual beta stuff. What they did with ACE was neat and the running man "boss" was cool even if the story they gave him was lazy as hell
Why was L4D shit?
God I fricking love rikku
the issue with JRPG runs isn't that they aren't going fast but rather that they take a ridiculous amount of time that they could've instead fit like 5 different games into
few people will be interested and have the time to sit around for an entire 4 hour run of a game that's mostly cutscenes and mashing through dialogue
What 5 games would you recommend speedrun-sama?
>oh boy, I can have more 20 minute indie pixel platformers
>I could fit in another celeste or the 1000th VVVVV run!
How was the L4D2 run? Couldn't catch it
dismul, they basically just played through a few levels, they fricked up what little actual speed tech they had multiple times.
L4D is a shit speedrun to do live because all of the tricks are moronic and precise
its only good for TASing
If you don't know how don't make the thread OP you fricking moron
colon is getting too much water
>too much water
>and also bad in excess).
How much is to much haha...
Have you never heard of water intoxification?
No
Summertime Saga be like
NTA but you'll be fine. You need to drink an amount of water which would deform your stomach to get water intoxication.
>deform your stomach
you're not stuffing a hose down your throat and going until it looks like you're pregnant like one of my anime hentai girls, are you?
No but my belly did look a bit big yesterday
You'll be fine
>>too much water
yeah, the colon absorbs water to make poop. if the colon absorbs too much water you'll get hard poops and could end up constipated.
>and I've been drinking so much water recently
How much is "so much"?
God this boss was so brutal
Mega death is such fricking bullshit, you're going to wipe to it the first time every time.
>tfw completionist homosexual
>tfw i steamrolled the shit out of this boss
feels good.
Fiber, not water.. Water is for peeing (and also bad in excess).
>Donating a thousand dollars for a chance to suck off twitch mods
I'm never mocking pass users again, I had no idea how the far the depths of cuckoldry could go
Even in death, ya!
KINO AURON SPEECH
Anyone else had issues beating Yu Yevon as kid because of that insane regen?
The only reason I beat them was because I randomly mixed some items with Rikku, which caused 9999 poison damage each turn.
Pineapple Bomb or something?
Nah. I just threw a reflect on the guy and the rest of it was free.
you're have too much butt sex and the poo is being packed down
trust me I'm a brain surgon
you might want to eat some fiber before it's too late and you'll be fighting for your life on the toilet.
>Character has large lips and wide hips by default
>Try to appeal to coomers by giving her bimbo features
>Just ends up looking worse
She doesn't need droopy eyes because she already has frickhuge eyelashes
She doesn't need big breasts because she's wearing a tight outfit
They couldn't even make her hair and tail look right. This ain't a poodle, looks more like a Crash Bandicoot character
Autism
Frick me, Bahamut really trivializes shit this hard? I remember this boss throwing me for a loop for a bit.
>The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
>3 HOURS
Why the frick do they keep doing this long runs?
shut the frick up
win waker is Ganker's speedrun of choice
Because they're cool and fun to watch
If you disagree you're reddit
Woman knows her place and shuts the frick up
whomst is this? more?
holy frick, big boy down there is gamin out of control
he's trying to do 100 consecutive super jumps, that's why she's shushing the crowd.
>you will never have a moderately attractive woman be as passionate about your hobbies as you are
FRICKING KILL ME
Pidge is based I hope she does a proper Mario RPG run at gdq
why is she sushing so much
crowd needs to be seen not heard
an actual natal female from Justincrible's Super Mario RPG run (was that 2019?) Pidgezero or something
For me, it's "Like happy festival fireworks yah"
BETTER AL DEAD THAN AL BHED
Can anyone explain to me how Yuna's summons do such ruinous damage? Does their phyiscal attacks stack off strength or something?
They scale based off her stats and he jacked her up with stats from Tidus and Auron's grids.
THey do scale off of strength.
dildo wings Bahamut
I never understood how this huge fricking whale was supposed to be Tidus' dad
Sin reincarnated as Jecht
Jecht fricked ur mom and they fused together
>mfw I am tidus
>Tidus this is a funeral...
>AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
It's a giant organic mecha abomination
It's a giant mobile armor
Pay attention to the game next time.
Sin is essentially a giant frickton summon. Summons in this world rely on a fayth, or a person trapped in a statue that gives their soul to be used to power a summon. Jecht is the fayth of Sin, at least for this 10 year cycle.
oh ok, funky.
So zany XD
This is zoomers' favorite FF.
>2001
>zoomer
If FFX was your first FF (or any other PS2 game) then you are undoubtedly a zoomer. It's not even golden era FF.
>It's not even golden era FF.
It is. Its one of the best selling FF games and was made by Squaresoft. FFXII is the start of nu-FF
No that was X-2, the first game Squeenix ever made
You're not special grandma. The PS3 era was peak zoomer tier and PS2 is still considered retro.
>PS2
>retro
Holy shit, zoom zoom zoomers.
Actually, a lot of the zoomers I've met enjoyed Ivalice titles like tactics, wotl, and ff12.
What? That's clearly XIV lmao
Online games don't count.
They do count when its creator gets to make others too. Just accept nu FF is zoomer soulless shit compared to this.
I wish XVI was a return to the roots.
its like listening to beavis and butthead
They're so fricking sleep deprived
Oh man I'm so tired! Why are you making me do this run? XDDDD It's not like I volunteered to take an obnoxious 4 hour slot for my skilless speedrun XDD
Well to be fair, GDQ absolutely fricked the schedule sideways
It was Keizarons fault he had to run this early in the first place
His run was supposed to end when it started
>I killed yunalesca and uninstalled the game thinking that was the end
Was no credits not a hint?
the game played the credits at the start with all the group being homosexuals around a fire or something
do I really have to download this fricking game again? frick
>beat Dhoulmagus
>satisfied I beat the game
>take disc out
>bake it in oven
>throw console in ocean
>gamefaqs says there's more game
>mfw
All jokes aside I beat the 3rd dungeon in minish cap and I thought I was done with the game
But Sin was still around anon? And Tidus's story never concluded? Are you moronic?
the story looked as homosexual as the characters so I alt-tabbed every time the movie started
Why the frick are you even playing it then
Can't say the game is dogshit without playing it first my man. If I'm going to shitpost the last I can do is my have first-hand experience about what I plan on shitposting about, right?
That's fair enough anon. I did the same thing for the XIII trilogy
Age? I genuinely wonder how someone can be this dumb.
JEsus christ stop whining about how tired you are
I genuinly cannot tell how far through the game they are.
all the music is just so samey
at least it looks like they're off that island they started on
I mean if you don't know the game no shit in a cutsceneless run, it doesn't have a neon sign saying were at the big bad's lair
>suddenly seymor from the audience
nice little shop of horrors reference
I never eat but I'm obese bros.
>I'm obese bros
i dont believe you
jesus can you morons stop leaving 'sgdq' out of the OP?
Make one
