    Master System Sonic 2 is also Game Gear Sonic 2. Maybe it has slightly better specs on Master System? Dunno about that.

    It'll be interesting to see the numbers. Viewership will likely be huge, because obviously, but I wonder if donations will match

    Apparently Roku is not supporting the Twitch Channel at all anymore so that's a huge kick in the balls.

    So yeah, here's how that Doom Eternal speedrun on the schedule is only 30 minutes long:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-aX0ISddW8

    turns out you can bind jump to your scroll wheel using console commands, then walk off a slope, open the weapon wheel, spam jump with the mousewheel, and jump over entire levels at the start
    The game isn't even out a month and the any% record is already 26 minutes.

    oh wait are they just playing solo randomizer with the same seed and sharing information? Lame, I thought they were doing the randomizer mod where it puts items for other players in your game sometimes.

    If you're looking for people doing that, it's called multiworld.

    Doing a randomizer co-op like this seems like a good way to avoid the run going over estimate.

  • Options
    JavenJaven Registered User regular
    Yeah I definitely prefer multiworld to straight co-op but doesn't lend itself well to marathon stuff because of its unpredictability, both in terms of setting an estimate, but also because oftentimes you will run into a situation where one player will be straight up out of checks and then have to wait and do literally nothing while they wait for the other player to give them something they can use to proceed

    The real fun part of multiworld rando is when all the rupees from chests are replaced by ice traps given to other players on 4x damage

    We're down to the classic end-of-marathon wire with the final incentive. With 1.5 hours remaining out of a 3 hour final run, the last incentive of $75,000 is just under halfway met.

    Summer Games Done Quick 2020 in-person event is officially called off. They're going to run an online SGDQ instead, still raising money for Doctors Without Borders as usual.

    Not a surprising outcome and the Covid Relief event was a good first pass.

    Volunteer notifications went out last week, so the last bits of prep should be coming to a close soon.

    Related, I will be one of your hosts for SGDQ this year.

    I don't have any inside information if that is what you are asking for; I am speculating that with volunteer notifications out the games list is the last major bit of set-up prior to the direct prep for the event.

    If that was the question, I do not know! I am guessing I will have that information in a week or two.

    I'm sad I didn't know this was a thing until now, I've been in the scene for a decade+, and we're very tightly knit, there's a ton of love in the scene.

    Also, the freestylers are the best.

    If any of you have not been keeping up with the scene there was a streamer raped at SGDQ 2014 by Giantwaffles and Stivitybobo so if you are subscribed to either of them or follow them or whatever you should reconsider.

    it's been an open secret in the speedrunning community since it happened and it took this long to come out because of the shitty culture surrounding the streamers

    there's a pastebin by deb (tolki) out there with the full story from her side

    Plus a recent post by a former twitch mod of giant who said that right after the rape giant told him he did it. He was only worried about how it might affect his streaming, not how badly he had hurt someone.
