in my experiences its only a "Problem" to people if the girl is white

I've dated black and asian ladies and issues only came up if the chick was white

I've seen nobody give two fucks if the dude was white


just to be clear...you've never personally been in a situation where the dude was white...right?

Do you mean interracial or do you mean white/black.

Because society doesnt even seem to flinch at interracial stuff anymore (except for white/black sadly)

Man, that's just not true.

I would like to not have any reaction but my reaction is still "hey that's cool, glad they don't have any issues with being together". Like, I feel bad, but my first reaction isn't just "hey a couple", it's "hey be glad for an interracial couple that is happy". If that makes sense (probably has something to do with growing up in like a 95% white area).

Also, I don't have any good input here. I've had age differences, but that's it.


I know what you mean, and I appreciate you for responding.

I loved the ending. I started the topic about it here in the day leading up to the finale. I couldn't then, and I still don't now, understand why people criticize it so much for the "undid a whole season(s) in one episode" thing. Just step back and look at the big picture of what happened.

But I also never wanted or expected Barney and Robin to last, so that's probably why I was totally fine with it when it turned out the story was just all about Ted.

Compliment them to other people right in front of them. Like if they did something you admire, tell a mutual friend about it when you're all together. It works better since it's indirect so they're less likely to just ignore what you're saying and more likely to actually reflect on it and feel good about it later.

yeah, i do think some runners just don't care (much) about considering when the good spots for donation readings are. that's bad too.


Yeah which basically gets at the root of my thoughts as well. It comes down to generally improving the runners' awareness that they're performing (so to speak) in a way that's different from just their personal stream. And so there's more things to consider.

As was said by someone, most runs it isn't an issue. But it's an issue that could be mostly resolved with a trivial amount of effort.

In hindsight I guess they could have asked for donations to be read out.


Clearly the donation thing isn't optimized and so I was offering a suggestion for an improvement which would involve minimal effort.

The level of effort you're asking for does not anywhere near equate to the amount of return they'd get for it versus how it works currently.


I think you're overestimating the amount of effort. The burden is mainly on the runners of each game, which is basically negligible. I don't know what the exact application process is like, but all it would take is a free form text box where the runner puts some notes - as in a couple sentences - pointing out good times for donations. Then they put those notes next to the game on the schedule so that anyone who happens to be hosting can see them.

It's close to no effort whatsoever.

There's a lot of games being ran and the host is usually busy reading donations during the changeover so they don't exactly have time.

Also from past GDQs the hosts have taken a lot of heat for reading donations during what was about to be a tough segment so they mostly stay silent until the runner tells them to read out donations.


I think you missed my point. How long is the schedule set in stone prior to the event?

Surely there is ample time for the runner to say "hey by the way here are the times that are good for donations, also if I fuck up on 3rd lap of a 3 lap race after it's all been explained, go for it".

like...months in advance?

By this point the commentators were done talking about the race so it was mostly silent or random talking during those segments. In hindsight I guess they could have asked for donations to be read out.


I wonder...is there no prior conversation between the runner and the host/organization of when is the best times for donations?

I know often times the runner does a good job of letting them know and is very prepared. And sometimes in a dead moment the host will chime in "hey, is this a good time?"

But like why not have a briefing beforehand.

It must just be me. I couldn't stand the bloodborne runner. He was so over the top beyond the point of being entertaining. My girlfriend watched a good deal of AGDQ with me, and that was one of the runs where I felt embarrassed about the fact she was watching it and associating it with things I enjoy.

so yeah

what are the best runs to watch?


zallard1 (the blindfolded super punch out guy from a few years ago) beat Mike Tyson's Punch Out (NES) and Super Punch Out (SNES) at the same time with one controller.

Skyrim was a great example of a run going totally off the rails in the most enjoyable way possible.

Silent Hill had enjoyable commentary

Diablo level 1 Sorcerer run was neato and the runner was awesome. There are glitches but no skips done, and Diablo is the only enemy killed in the run

Superman 64 was beautifully, incredibly awful and amazing. Also was a world record run.

Off topic-ish: last night I crushed the Joe & Mac (SNES) WR by 30 seconds

That's kind of what we get from the couch a lot of the time. In the case of people like SpikeVegeta, it's more like a wildly popular comedian who simply doesn't appeal to my sense of humor at all. Like Dave Chappelle, for example. I'll watch his stand up and only chuckle a couple times. But I don't actively wish I wasn't watching it.
