    A commentator is probably about to get banned or at least in some amount of trouble because during Jet Set Radio they spoke about some of the IRL shit going on. Not radically so and it was really brief, but still. I appreciate it at any rate.

    ???

    I'm guessing it had something to do with the police, since they're antagonists in JSR.
    Yeah they weren't very direct but they talked about "injustices" happening in the country at the moment aside from the pandemic.

    I haven't heard anything so I think it ended up being okay. Usually GDQ is very strict about "no politics" shit but I mean, that's kind of unavoidable as of late.

    Kind of disappointed in that Night Trap run, he could have shown a lot of scenes that he skipped which add to the story.

    Would've been possible if not for the blindfold thing(still impressive though).

    I didn't catch it live, but I'm watching the DMC4 run now. There's a lot of new stuff in this run since the last time I looked at it years ago.

    Kind of crazy that the guy is playing on keyboard.

    Doom block coming up has my psyched!

    I'm very intrigued by Warframe, because how?

  • NeveronNeveron HellValleySkyTree SwedenRegistered User regular
    I don't know what exactly they're doing in Warframe, but you can go fast in that game.

    Looks like it's a boss showcase, so they're probably just going to do it super fast and try to look cool while doing so.

    I was looking forward to the Mega Man 9 race, but I unfortunately had a work meeting scheduled at exactly the same time, so I was only able to half-pay attention to it in the background with the sound muted.

    I am clearly going to have to re-watch the VOD later when it gets posted, because there obviously had to have been some weird shit that happened in the back half that I totally missed.

    I feel kinda bad for these CoD guys for having to follow that DOOM run. That was insane and great to watch. Good runner, good couch, good energy. Holy cow.

    I just watched someone do an any% Quest for Glory 1 (Technically version 1.0 which was called Hero's Quest) in 1 minute 22 seconds.

    Granted they were a very bad hero but still.

    The current speedrun of Baba is You is so good, holy shit. I've completed this game before and yet my brain is just melting trying to keep up.

  • Houk the NamebringerHouk the Namebringer Nipples The EchidnaRegistered User regular
    if someone wasn't already familiar with the basic concept of Baba Is You before this run, there is NO way they're going to understand a second of what's happening

    and it's incredible

    I want to recruit a team of animators and have them put visuals to the monologue over Baba is You.

    $170k. $120k for the run itself and $50k for the bonus incentive.

    oh sorry, i meant literally just flat donations during the hour-long run itself (and i was wrong there, it ended up being over $30k)

    what an incredible run

    Welp that run may have convinced me to buy a Stepmania pad.

    i never played much Pump It Up but I was huge into DDR in college, and ever since i've been chasing the dream of having enough space and disposable income to put together my own homestyle cabinet/setup

    it's extremely good cardio

    Wow Touhou is so incredibly not for me

    I can feel my blood pressure going up just watching this and it's a straight hour of this with no breaks when you're one of the best in the world? Fffffuck that

  • NeveronNeveron HellValleySkyTree SwedenRegistered User regular
    To be fair, this is IIRC more like Hard Mode 100% of a spinoff game. Something like Touhou 6 Easy Mode has a world record of 14 minutes (hard has 20m, on account of extra bosses).

    They're still bullet hells, though, and definitely not for everyone.

    Yeah... bullet hell isn't an exaggeration for the genre.

    My second shift went, unsurprisingly, smoother than the first and had a lot of fun during the Touhou run.

  • H0b0manH0b0man Registered User regular
    So the last donation incentive is a Minecraft run. I wasn't even aware that was a game that could be speedrun. Don't you just like build stuff? Is there actually an ending you can reach?

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    there are credits that play after you accomplish a particular objective, that's not like the actual end of the game but it's a convenient target for speedrunning.

    Yes, if you reach The End and beat the Ender Dragon the credits play.

    The current WR for versions 1.9-1.15 is this 22:04 run ... actually I just discovered it was beaten 5 days ago, but still, it's second best:
