that links to their youtube which they didn't update yet. it goes back to like 2014 i think. i know i been watching them since like 2013 or 14.

i never used twitch much but found they have stream on there but this ones 15 hours long and the next is like 20 hours long. guess i'll just skip around the stream. just liked how they do it on their youtube and have each thing broken up by game so i know what i wanna watch and what i can skip.

I don't want to see a Hollow Knight speedrun until I play and finish it myself, so can someone mention me once they get to Specter of Torment after this?

it's not quite as fun to play as that guy makes it look lol

the game takes directionlessness to a completely new (and often frustrating) level and the general difficulty of the game is just way too low at almost every point so there's very little challenge other than just figuring out where to go with basically no hints and rooms too big for how slowly you move

Regardless of where you go, there's meaningful progress to be made. Each of the major objectives has multiple ways to reach them and they're independent of each other, so there's no "next place" to go but you're never wandering aimlessly. Movement is also really quick as soon as you get the dash and wall jump.

Generally, every runner at GDQ saves a lot to avoid anything super bad. When tricks do go wrong they always seem to have backup strategies in place to keep things moving.

When going for WR, I have no clue. It's why I'd never get into speedrunning >_>

Also, I see "Wahey" is the equivalent to the Waluigi "Waaaah" from last year.

How do speed runners maintain their sanity when they do 2+ hour runs that have "frame perfect" parts that require like 1/60th of a second reactions?


1) frame perfect tricks don't require extremely fast reaction, they require extremely precise timing. Which is a lot easier. there are a variety of cues runners might use

2) many common speedrun games don't run at 60fps. banjo kazooie for example (since run of it just happened) runs at 30fps which means a frame perfect trick has twice as big a time window as you might expect.

Not saying they're easy to do but they aren't quite as hard as you think

Always happens lol. Pretty sure it's mostly runs and setups taking longer than estimated.

Iirc, after a run at a previous GDQ, his best friend's girl seduced him while he was drunk. Or something along those lines.

They have bid wars for Pokemon names. The winning name for Sentret was TitusBrand, a nod at Titus O'Neil in WWE.

Oh, sorta reading up on it, I missed the moment, but I think the couch made a "did you just assume x's gender" joke, which they considered a transphobic joke.

So the decision was that the guy's banned from future GDQ event, I believe, and it could extend to the runner since they've done that before. Typical GDQ's corporatization in action

Exactly this.

If you haven't noticed a significant portion of runners will ask for silence when they have a "Frame Perfect" Trick or section to perform since a lot of them use audio queues to help focus. Eventually you just get so good at doing the same thing 1000 times or more that you end up not even thinking about it and just doing it.

A perfect example is when a few years ago someone at ADGQ did the tetris game where you can get grand master ( I have no idea of the full game name) but when he needed to do the end section during the credits and you can't see the blocks they ask for complete silence. That is because the runner is using audio queues to determine where the blocks are (since memorization can only get you so far when they are falling that fast) to determine how to make their next move.

Pokemon HGSS. The cheater comment was because the run's RNG got so screwed that the runner couldn't immediately catch Raikou like his core strategy was. So he used a prepared save file.

The ban was because of a joke that one of the couch members said

No, I'm pretty sure he got banned after the run.

They usually make these sorts of bans off camera
