    \o/ Uppies!

    I should really get around to playing SMRPG. The original was one of my faves back in the day.

    2.5m is very doable, I am hoping to see a big dono push at the end to 2.6/7

    Much better SDGQ than 23, a smoother experience with the two setups for tech and they have resolved a lot of background admin stuff

    Vods went up lightning quick for every run too

    yeah it's good that they're finding their feet again; they did a great job keeping the event going through 2021-2022 but it's hard to argue in hindsight that going digital didn't have a negative impact on the event

    I went to dinner with the guy who controls the coding/tech side of the event

    There are two full time employees working in shifts to get the vods up asap and they have special permission from twitch and YouTube to upload vids that large that quickly

    Genuinely good that Twitch and Youtube stepped up like that for them, given how intractable these companies can be.

    Ideas hate it when you anthropomorphize them

    it was a bummer not being able to watch the last half hour of the smrpg run because the entire stream was just 2 guys literally full throat screaming into the microphones.

    idk, i’m glad it works to get people to put money in for a good charity but god i absolutely hate it. every host who yells more than once a shift needs to be stopped.

    Yeah that screaming and yelling really turned me off

    Host was peaking the mic so much he broke it twice

    We got dates for both AGDQ 2025 and SGDQ 2025 this time! A few people have noted interest in applying to volunteer so I will try to put a note in this thread when applications open.

    AGDQ: Jan 5th - 12th | Pittsburgh, PA

    SGDQ: Jul 6th - 13th

    One of the best moments in GDQ history.

    Even if other people train their pets or if PB continues to play other games, i don't see how you can top that. Just an absolute incredible ending to an incredible run.

    I'm split between kicking myself for not noticing it was PB running it and glad I wasn't in the room for that noise.

    It was a super fun run, but I'm just a little disappointed they didn't read my terrible, terrible joke on air

    I guess it's fine, it was really bad

    like really bad

    ...

    I feel like most of the donos read out for the next couple runs were from PB's run, so it may have gotten read there if you weren't watching.

    You can also feel good knowing he did indeed hit it out of the bark

    I continue to be mildly irritated that GDQ now has events in Pittsburgh when I no longer live there.

    Following up on my earlier promise, volunteer applications for AGDQ Jan 5th - 12th in Pittsburgh, PA are open! Read the volunteer FAQ linked here and use the link there to apply. If anyone has questions about the volunteer experience, I am happy to answer as best I can! I might make it out to AGDQ for once but no guarantees.

    oh maaan I super appreciate you calling this out but sadly I now work at a university and the new semester starts that week so there is zero percent chance of my boss approving time off

    next SGDQ is a very real possibility, however

    Normally, I'm in the same boat but my semester starts the weak after AGDQ so I'm thinking "maybe I just go for the first week and bank on not getting caught in weather so that I can finish teaching prep..." This might be my only opportunity to go to an AGDQ until the stars align again.

    Hmmm maybe I should have used the shield wing more when I played Forbidden West.
