IM A HEADBANGA
ESAbros not like this...
>Paulister donating 100Another one who first fucked off but then still donates. Seems they separate the cause from the event. Somewhat surprising, I'd expect leaving the event and voicing displeasure with it would also include saving your donation money for other marathons.
we fucking died
>>683414547incidents like this show the attrition of ESA tech crew. That guy never worked with his hands again
This is definitely going over
YOU FUCK I ALMOST DROWNED
What game we playan on the side lads
>>683414624This is starting to feel like the recent Democrat coup against Biden. They still support the organization, just want Edenal gone.
>>683414650but now we're back!
>>683413254Most of the departments are being run like shit and getting micromanaged by Edenal and Planks, who keep shooting down people's desperate attempts to fix shit.The Lovare stuff also showed to a bunch more people how it's really not going to change, especially their reaction to being called out on stuff is to go scorched earth on volunteers instead of addressing crap.Plank's whole hater speech was about people being critical and people pulling out that way.
>>683414767Yakuza Black Panther, just found out it's like 99% translated.
>>683414767OSRS while I test meme things on PoE before the new league

You baseless gossip faggots are the fucking worst lol
>>683414767Deep Rock Galactic.
>>683414767Building gunplaZeta ver ka is very nice
>>683414702You faggots are way too generous with your ratings
>>683414880>let savages in>they slaughter or imprison your whole communityWhat did Obsidian mean by this?
>>683414702>osrsnot like this
UNDER ESTIMATE!
>>683414767was planing to pick up last epoch again as 1.1 just hit, but I just don't feel like making and leveling a new character
>>683414953seethe, cope, dilate
>>683415020This but you, you stupid drama fag. Get it together.
bros...I don't feel so good..
>>683414767turtle wow HC
rate that under-estimate run
>>683415171D
>>683415171B
>>683415171A, had all the tricks I wanted with sufficient challenge, I always enjoy a nice underestimate.
>>683415171A-
>>683415128Speedrunning is just not that popular anymore
>>683415171S for surprisingly under estimate because it was a shitshow
>>683415171D I tuned out
>>683414953Crazy what happens when you aren't forcing trannies and memes.
>>683415171D, boring and failed a lot
>>683415171F
>>683415171C for me mate
>>683415171C
>>683414547CRTs are objectively shit>heavy>terrible picture quality>low resolutionModern displays are OBJECTIVELY SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAYEven if you want the CRT look (no idea why you'd want that), you can simulate it on a modern display, with CRT-style filters.
>>683415171C average. Cool 9sec under estimate>>683414716Apologize
I hope they get metrics for when people mute shit because fuck these long arse sections of people standing around trying to waffle to make up time.
>run absolutely no one watched because no one was talking about it>S!!!>A! A! A!
>>683414782This is the feeling of most people, including myself. I'm not giving them a dime now, but as soon as current orgs fuck I'll be back on the ship if people will have met. Zackfag on mobile
>>683415837I see one S and one A. Calm down
Wait what is the difference between alzheimers and dementia?
I'd donate $100,000 dollars but I think hasanabi needs it moresorry
>>683414782>They still support the organization, just want Edenal gone.and Planks, probably Ida as well since she's a package deal with Edenal.
>>683415958Alzheimers is the most common type of dementia targeting memory loss
>>683415837Normally when people enjoy a run, they're busy enough watching it
hmmmmmm
>your $100K goes towards the gacha game addict- I mean, stipend, for ONE PhD student!thanks Doc, very cool!
how did he not die to the goomba?
>packed audienceThe power of bing
>>683415958there's variants of dementiayou can get dementia from brain damage for examplealzheimer's is more related to unwanted accumulation causing issues in the brain
>>683415116>>683415837Again, dilate, seethe, cope, mald, dilate
>>683414787yupyup, its frustrating but nothing we can do about it other than ignoring them until their cash cow dries up and they leave. Maybe then we can make ESA into what it was always meant to be, OR by then someone else will have made another european wide event that effectively replaces it.
>>683416107>>683416207thanks
>>683415958Dementia is a set of symptoms that are usually (but not always) caused by the more common form of Alzheimer's.
Was Battlefront any good? I can't really imagine it was anything more than a let's play.
LOVE how flustered people get when blasted with the "your too sloww"
>>683414767Speedrunning Minesweeper on expert, my PB is 121 seconds
CUTE
>>683415435you're a midwit if you seriously claim that modern displays are superior they just score the most points in the convenience aspectsinput lag is still a big problem with modern displays
>Bing bing wahoo>Top level runner>Asian foidGonna be at least an A
>>683416347nice, mine is 120 seconds
If you play games while watching ESA, you didn't watch the event. Refrain from rating the runs.
>>683415989lol
>>683414702>Most amount of ratings today is 19Man that is bad. Evo is done so nobody watching that, and we're 3 days into the event so everyone interested should now be aware it's going on. Looks like the drama really killed ESA
>>683416253There's stuff like BSG, NSG and UKSG that are in a decent position to at least eat ESA's lunch.A lot of the European runner circles already go to those events anyway, ESA was even promoting them a year back during the end video (bet they don't this year, lol).
>>683416347>>683416394>they didn't crack the 2 minute barrier yetheh *pulls up anime glasses*
>>683414767adventures of lolo 3
Remember to do the Mario!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65uNCLBTje0
>>683416451Turns out, catering to the Euro audience and practically cutting the Americas out of ESA isn't good for the event.Shocking, I know.
>>683414950>Zeta ver ka is very niceYeah it's a fucking amazing kit. Really great build, and very fun to pose. Enjoy the kit, anon
>>683416443Pay me 5000 USD and I'll consider it.
>>683416443I watch all the runs and rate the F even if they were good.
If you're reading the thread while watching ESA, you didn't watch the event. Refrain from rating the runs
>>683414702
Why are they in blue and she's the only one in purple?
>>683416634and why am I hearing coin sounds?
Whats so coop about this run
>>683416634How's biz going?
I like that jump
Man TTV LOL really isn't cutting it for me anymore in the convoluted mess that is getting ads to fuck off on Twitch.
>>683416559Nah it's not just the americlaps not showing up. ESA winter 2023 also wasn't 24h, and had even more downtime. But the chart of the first few days still had multiple 50+ ratings, while the highest this ESA is just 26 anons. And that is even when they don't have a stream 2 going. There is probably a drop from the USA anons due to not being 24h, but the recent dropoff is mostly caused by the drama.
>>683416634Why are her arms so tiny, where are her elbows even
>>683416784The Italian guy is playing as Mario and the brown lady is playing as Luigi.
>raised only 12k so faris ESA dead?
>>683416784KERNEL STOP THE COOP
>>683416162it's worse, your money can go toward literally fradulent dead end hypothesis research with no peer review!https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/faked-beta-amyloid-data-what-does-it-mean
>>683416935>only 12kyour perception is warped by GDQ
>>683416879>but the recent dropoff is mostly caused by the drama.Nah the runs just suck and the intermissions are soul draining
>>683416892A lot of speedrunning fans might not know but XX chromosome having women are much smaller than men on average!
>>683416458Yeah, I'm aware, but to me it looks like those events are horribly divided.BSG is the most central event, and they are in the prime position to expand, but they have had very open issues in the past which might cause people to be catious about them.UKSG is in Glasgow, think that's all that needs to be said about them.NSG took almost all of the ESA refugees, but they are extremely new, and they are located effectively in the middle on nowhere.Also, not one of them has come forward to say they want to take ESA's place as the one-be-all Euro marathon, they want to coordinate and grow together, which is fine and all, but imo a hard dream to chase which is likely to cause more rifts in the future.
>>683416879What about summer 2023?
>>683416879EVO was on, why would I want to watch this dumpster fire when I could watch people actually in the top 10 of their games
>>683416458>BSG, NSG and UKSGAren't those largely ran by the same people? Can anyone explain why those are better, and why they would turn out different in case they gain popularity?Seriously, I'd love to have a good alternative, but I'm not sure whether I can handle more heartbreaks, so I try to be cautious.
Why isnt that fat fuck Notch involved with ESA anymore?
F>>683416879Wow, what did BOTW do that got people so excited?
>>683417070because fighting games are ass and their players are gayer than speedrunning freaks
>>683417104Similar circles of people/runners who'd show up to ESA but definitely not Edenal/Planks/Ida running them, like Riekelt runs the tech at BSG.
>>683417104>UKSG - Paulister, Pazy, Tricrow>NSG - Nordic, Krissi, Nashlax>BSG - Bunch of people, based monkey runner is one of themThey had ties to ESA, but Edenal and Planks have no say over what they do or not with their own marathons. Also they might all cut ties to ESA very soon, if they haven't done so yet (like NSG).
>>683417219It's just that one guy and nobody gives a flying fuck about Mortal Kombat.
>>683416837>he didn't switch to TTV LOL *PROthat and ublock is getting the job done for me and yes twitch does serve me ads. still get 30s bluescreen pre rolls sometimes but ESA has been smooth
>>683416458BSG is going to be really interesting, since it is the next upcoming one. And a lot of ESA runners that didn't went this year have runs at BSG. So it's a nice measuring stick to see how well the smaller marathons benefit from ESA imploding>bet they don't this year, lolI remember someone on a page 10 thread saying that they won't. Think it was Riekelt? >>683417104It's largely the same people because it's the same community. It's all EU. But the organization is being run by other people. The current problem of ESA is that Edenal and Plank are idiots and basically threw gasoline on the fire, but those aren't in charge of the other more local marathons. BSG for instance is mostly NL guys
>>683417305yeah it's just him, right
>>683417334That's what I am running but Twitch does shit based on region and on top of that you're at the mercy of what proxy it gives you.
>>683417295UKSG is also Skenmy and Huds afaik, who are still involved with ESA, and Paulister is a GDQ regular, so I wouldn't expect too much different stuff from them. The other two, well, maybe? Guess all we can do is wait and watch.
I'm in the post evo funk, its weird to come right into ESA and a non-24hr esa
>>683417219You wouldn't get it
Riek is a real nigga, I'm backing BSG in the Balkanization Arc of ESA.
>>683417410WHY DID IT DECIDE TO DO THAT?!
KEK
I apologize. It was me. I'm so, so sorry about that.
lolololol
>dying in an autoscroller
>>683417013The runs suck because most runners have pulled out. There are hardly any regular runners left, so they had to choose from a worse set. >>683417064Even the first day had 40+ ratings
ALWAYS SMB3. This game is fucking cursed.
I cum
>>683417410Ok maybe 3 guys, I also remember that Chunners cosplayer that broke /v/.
i sure love autoscrollers, no problem watching it again
>>683417576Last ESA was amazing. The caveman runner, BUMPER, shit was balls to the walls. This is the saddest, most low-energy event I've seen since RTA.
>>683417410pretending fighting games are even remotely close to the pure unfiltered gay and mental illness of speedrunning is burying your head in the sand
what is this?
>only looking forward to 2 or so runs a day for the remainder of ESA>except Thursday afternoon NES block where I want to watch everything from like 1pm to 8pm straight
>>683417473I'm on the UKSG server and neither of them has organizer roles

>>683415837>muh ratings lol
>pretending fighting games are even remotely close to the pure unfiltered gay and mental illness of speedrunning is burying your head in- ACK
>>683417530It's retarded and it's not a woman that's why. Porn sickness is not a good educator on female mannerisms and knowing when and how to do certain things.
>>683417576I used to watch and rate every run possible, but didn't for this event so far. Overall situation is just too dire to really feel excited. Let's face it: For most people it's not just the speedruns, but the hype and the shitposting. And if all that's on the screen is average runs, boring intermission sequences, and a damocles sword hovering over the whole event, it's hard to get emotionally involved.>>683417809OK nice. Didn't want to shit on them anyway, just because they help out ESA it doesn't necessary mean they agree with everything there. I really hope UKSG will be good, looking forward to it.
>>683417949>Guilty Queer
>>683417784Action replay, they’re cheating
>>683415903Holy shit nobody cares. Dont you faggots have a discord to hang out or something?
Are we there yet?
>>683418079no
>>683418079Ask again in 5 minutes.
>>683418079Not even close, what's your favourite fighting game?
>>683417971>and a damocles sword
the giant levels were my favorite as a kid because it was cool to see giant things since things were usually small
>>683417949who are you quoting
>>683418179Same i think its an autistic thing
>>683418179I thought the tank levels were the coolest
>>683417971>I used to watch and rate every run possible, but didn't for this event so far.For me it's the same. It's not bad, but just very bland. Nothing really to get excited about, either in the positive or negative sense. The intermissions are boring that I often click away. So I often miss the first 5-10 min of a run, but that doesn't even bother me. I had more fun during ASM this year. I'm not claiming that less anons are watching ESA. But the lack of ratings is definitely a sign of a lack of interest, which is sad to see because I used to like ESA. And the fact that it's very probably going to be the last makes it even worse.
>>683418287>everything is autistic
>>683416980>The study provides evidence supporting a specific protein clump in the brain, known as beta-amyloid, as a cause for Alzheimer’s disease.Because of its findings, this study became very influential in Alzheimer’s disease research. To date, it has been cited in over 2,200 scientific papers and accessed more than 34,000 times>Now an article recently published in Science reports that an assistant professor of neurology at Vanderbilt University believes some of the images were manipulated in the 2006 Nature study, calling into question the validity of its findings.oh my science!
This is an enjoyable run so far. I’m enjoying the runners having to communicate so they know who has certain items etc. way more interesting than I expected
>>683418476co-op aint so bad when it's one screen
>>683418425Well for me it is i think. It has that weird feel to it.
Bros...imagine being AliceHK8 bf...imagine the cuddles at night...bros...
There is absolutely no energy here, it's amazing how barren the event feels. This feels like a first year event, not one going on a decade.
>>683418476Thought it would be a clusterfuck but its been easy keeping up with it.
>>683418565I'm good.
>>683418582YOOO HOOOOOYYYP OOOOOORB XD
>>683418441BUT WE TRUSTED THE SCIENCE
>>683418543Are you autistic or tiktok autistic?either way I just think big things are cool to a kid. you give them a powerup to go GIANT MODE in a game and they're gonna pick it cause it's cool to punch buildings like a kaiju
>>683414767Just finished Yohane the Parhelion: NUMAZU in the MIRAGE and now I'm trying to decide what to play next. Considering Neon White at the moment.
>>683418476the stupid fuckups gives it some charm
>>683418582That bumper shit last Winter was annoying to 2bfair
>>683418372Yep, pretty much same for me.
>>683418653>tiktok autisticIs that when you like flart unironically?
>>683418678I enjoyed getting platinum times on neon white
>Lui>not playing as Luigi????????
>>683418441>scammers exist in all lines of work>let's abandon all research everywhere and pray instead so that god may free us from our woesWould that be a better plan to you?
Side tangent/question regarding gdq while this fairly boring run is happening:was there ever an official explanation (excuse) on why frozenflygone, a married woman, was caught making out with some pajeet tranny during a test cam leak from frost fatales? I need a good dose of internet drama.
>>683418827whew, way to miss the issue entirely tardo
>missed Platinum, BBS, Battlefront 2, and Jedi Survivor because of work/sleepFuck
>>683418653I dont know what tiktok autistic is but probably neither. Its a reverse kaiju situation though. I think its like the fetish where you dream of being stepped on by a gian girl. Should be kinda autistic no?
>>683418917You didn't miss much then.
/vt/ exists if you want a board to gossip about ecelebs all you want
>>683418941Youll enjoy the manga GIGANT by the dude who created Gantz.

>>683418980Right, I can hardly contain my excitement for Bluey the Videogame.
>>683418889I mean science=scam unless it is blessed by my political party, no? This is polchan after all
>>683418941Nah man it's just big things are coolDinosaurs, Monster Trucks, Bears, Lions, John Cena, whatever man
>>683418845Nobody knows. But since there is no outcry she probably fucks the tranny and the husband is a cuck. Whatever the fuck freakshow is happening behind closed curtains at gdq is probably better left unknown.
>>683419104no yeah that was the point i believe, not that decades of time, money, and effort could be wasted by someone manipulating a study
>>683419129>Monster TrucksI got to ride in one as a kid, was pretty cash especially cause it was only 20 bucks, but not that cool cause it's not like you get to see out of the windshield or anything
>running and using fireballs to match the musicKINO

i love lovare and her fat overpouring from her tight uniforms
>>6834194384chan vs Reddit
okay give me a quick mario 3 themed request with plum
wow my wife is speedrunning :)
>>683419161The problem is that there isn't really a reasonable alternative. There is not enough money going around to check every study done. And there are checks, every published article is peer-reviewed. Which means at least scientists who know how stuff works have looked at it to see if it is even reasonable. And there is more awareness of the replication crisis in many fields. But the only realistic option is still that the trust-based system, which means that some bad actors may exploit the system. But disregarding all the work scientists have done because some studies may have been manipulated is kinda shortsighted

it looks like toad got a boner when he jumps, then he masturbates to fix it
>>683420179
>>683416879I haven't been watching because I can't deal with the intermissions, I've only watched a handful of runs. They are way too long and boring, don't try and get spergs to fill 20 minutes of airtime after every run be it 5 minutes or 2 hours. You know why? Because they rely on shit like wordle.

>Pee speed
>>683419676You are assuming there is maliciousness when it's far easier to just assume it's just not as rigorous as it needs to be. Modern peer-review is basically a rubber stamp system. The only exceptions are papers that go against common consensus (anything politically incorrect) which get heavily scrutinized. There are tons of incentives to just approve everything, especially when nobody really cares about what it says. It's how we have so many conflicting studies. The truth is most modern scientist are in it for the money and don't really care about their work.
I'm going to eat Kebab, wish me luck!

I thought Italians were supposed to have charisma.
>>683421468Their vision is augmented.
>>683420496>Modern peer-review is basically a rubber stamp system.I mean, kinda but not really. There are very few incentives to review properly, but you're still an expert looking over it. The real solution would be if those journals use some of their ridiculous profit margins to hire staff or pay scientist to perform a more thorough check. But good luck convincing them to give up their money when most journals don't even care if stuff is fake.>The truth is most modern scientist are in it for the money and don't really care about their work.Nah that is just hyperbolic. Scientists get paid way less than any industry job. If you're good enough to constantly get your proposal honored, then you're also good enough to get a comfy and high paying job at some biomedical company. And most scientists are PhD students and post-docs, which are in even worse financial situations. They might fake stuff for respect or due to pressure to perform, but you don't become a scientist for money.

>>683421534I didn't say they became scientist for money. Most people become scientist with good intentions. However most stop giving a shit about aspirations when they have bills to pay and know nobody cares about the study anyways.

>>683422093S for me. Good tech, interesting co-op run with communication between the players, great game and well commentated

>>683422093B
>>683421768Okay, your statement was kinda broad so I didn't pick up on that. Still, tenured professors shouldn't have to worry about bills since they have a permanent position. But guess the ones that aren't tenured might have money problems, although most groups should have a tenured professor in charge that should guard against falsified studies
>>683422093B, comfy
>>683422093A, nice co-op showing all the levels

Segments like this is why ESA lost to GDQ. Why do they not have a separate area built for interviews and intermissions?
Super Mario Bros 3 is the only good Mario btw.
>>683423012anon delivers
>>683423195I don't know, but why don't you ask the same thing again during the next intermission.

>>683423098kino sun, spiderman, tranny and spyro 2. So-so
>>683423532Nobody harasses ugly chicks and ESA staff turned a blind eye to harassment so all the pretty chicks left.
>>683423602idk but either way it needs to be a thing again

I actually like these goosebert skits
Would you rather watch an ESA intermission, a GDQ Celeste run or an RTA in Japan run by a Westerner who wants to show off his N4 Japanese.
>>683417971Same. Someone else said it best when they said that this even is committing the cardinal sin of any entertainment: being boring. I couldn't even get my dick up to reply to the original post, lol.
ESA is having a lot of framedrops. I think ESA should follow their own advice.Damn it Planks
>>683423887rta cringekino without a doubt
>>683423883I don't but you're also super valid
>>683423883
>>683423887the rta, i'm straight skipping the others
This is way too much non-vidya time for a non-24/7 event.
>>683423883He's raped thousands.
>>683423814did they fuck up this anime as bad as the author fucked up the manga
>ad interrupted by an ad
>we're not ready to start the next run so we're gonna talk moreWhy? Why though? Why isn't the next run ready to start?
>>683421695shitposting
>>683423950I know the context of that screenshot and the two situations aren't comparableStill funny though
>>683423940kek
>go take a long shit>they are still talkinghas it been fucking 30 minutes
>>683423532There are actually really hot chicks there, they just don't want to be on camera. Don't blame them. Saw a ginger yesterday at the Jak run in the back rows who was really into it
>>683424153why cant they just play frame perfect, man>we're out of things to say and we're waiting, here's some video clips
>>683424260This is it, isn't it? It feels more painful when people are obviously stalling, instead of just playing clips between runs.
>>683423887Celeste because it would have been done 10 minutes ago.
>>683423114I made this funny variation for you guys. Me when the ladies start yapping too much am I right fellas?
Im sorry mod i wont post another video that is making fun of fat people. Fat shaming is not ok unless you are not fat that is.
I'm wondering if it's feeling dead this year because there's clearly some sort of noise cancelling going on with the audio.
>>683424320..... lemme just uhh... refresh the incentive.....loading...... *sound of dry lips rubbing against the mic* ....... oop.. oh nvm still loading.... oooh there okay.. looks like we got a bit more to go!
God I HATE races so much

So many Swedes
Ive been watching on and off. Have we gotten a single frame perfect or Plum yet?
This is unwatchable. How the fuck are you supposed to follow this, it's like channel surfing.
nobody thought this fucking thing through
kind of ballsy to do a donation shuffler, it'd be beyond awkward if none came in for like 5 mins
>all these $1 donations
>>683424091Not yet.
>the more donations come in, the more chaotic this is going to beFuck off, ESA.
>>683424592but isnt is zany whacky fun hahaha were such gamers
>>683424597Then donate more
>>683424596more like it will finally be watchable
I thought this run would be like that Home Alone run where they just played as much NES games as they could
>>683424363>ALICE IS TALKING.webm
>>683424592look, it worked on papernow we have to watch it for 60 minutes
this is way too adhd for me
I'm done with this shit, back to gaming
>>683424652celina would be an improvement to this shit in all honesty
>>683424206>short setup times was one of the things that ESA used to have over GDQ was short setup times>stream 2 guaranteed that there was always a speedrun on>and they'd usually just play music or prerecorded videos during intermissions>GDQ finally switched to having 2 stream setups last year, which reduced their setup times drastically>GDQ has intermission segments that are actually structured and tend to include things like runner interviews, previews of upcoming runs, reviews of the day's runs>when they don't, they just play music while the cringe donation reader shouts into the microphone off-cameraI can't believe I'm praising GDQ, but ESA managed to simultaneously abandon everything that made their intermissions tolerable in a single event
>>683424764pump your brakes, kid
I missed the explanation. What is going on?
Is the stream stuttering for anyone else or is this T-mobile's shit internet that i have?
"okay now they're playing batman""okay, now it's tetris"great commentary
>>683424591>How the fuck are you supposed to follow thisyou aren't, I'll come back in an hour
>>683424804the games change randomly. this is a race.welcome
>>683424804games change when someone donates
>>683424767They also got rid of these glitch showcases right?
>>683424856Are multiple people playing?
>>683424824as a blind gamer I appreciate it, brother scroll thrice and post the rightmost reaction image in my GDQ folder
>>683424764>>683424848>but, but it's for the CHARITY, so it's GOOD! Now give us your money.
This sort of chaotic shuffling is shit.
can we get a permanent ban on any """""run""""" that's the product of people playing games in a completely incomprehensible way that a normal person can barely understand even with commentarybasically randomizers and this
>>683424949kek what the fuck
>>683424946i think theyre handing off the controller for some reason too
>>683424767Really the only thing GDQ does wrong with downtime is having insufferable hosts (except Sent & jhobz)
>keep 'em cummin>>683424946They're changing controllers to the player of the Contra/Mario/etc game when that game comes on, yes
>>683424919Yeah they did, which is a shame, it's one of the things I liked the most
>>683424949i enjoy this post more than i have ESA this year
Has the Mario player on the left ever played the game before?
>>683424767This.>>683425038Also this.>>683425079It's like they are reading these threads and then do the opposite.
after this is a 4h golden run sun btwI like venus lighthouse as much as the next guy but I think I'm about to play video games for 5 hours
What even is the point of having multiple people on each team, all it's doing is causing a full second pause between swap and that's eating up like 50% of the time they spend in the game.
>>683425170prease understandu this is the highlight of the event
>>683425170They all get more time on camera
>>683425170the zaniness and the hijinksthink of how epic the post event clipshow will be!
>>683424919Fuck, I just remembered I missed those. Surely those would be one of the easiest things to add more of, wouldn't they? You've a huge community with a variety of games to add, why not do that? God I hate this new direction throwing out all the old
It's funny how ZetaTwo barely stutters or acts awkward when he's under stressful amounts of donations that he can't keep up with lmao
>>683425139>reading the threads>doing the opposite>calling us losers and blaming everything on Metakoit's appalling
>>683425170for more wacky chaos of course!
God I miss stream2 so much it's unreal
>hey, you know what we should do for this funny, chaotic race that is impossible to take seriously on any level?>let's not mic the runners whom the donations are fucking with>let's do esports style commentary instead????
Am I having fun?
>viewers droppingesabroooooooooooos
>game changes>instantly choke into deathpitkek
bros...
>Shit Darkest Dungeon crowd control run last night>Now another flavour of crowd control>Next is a turn based RPG "speedrun"Could this be the worst ESA yet?
>>683424363
where's bigjon? this is his kind of video game race.
>>683425461at least we got plum art out of it
Speaking of the shitposters, they have been quiet for a while now.Think the hotel wifi IP got banned again, wouldn't be surprised.
>>683424363I saw this first and thought it was real
>>683425461>>683425572
>>683424363lel well donethe shifty eyes on the guy on the back sells it
>>683425461>Day 1 was bookended with a 3 hour run>Day 2 had a 4 hour run>Day 3 is going to be another 4 hour runDefinitely the worst.The whole event has felt like filler.
Damn, this race might end up pullin' in a couple hundred bucks.
>Greenalink mentionedShame he doesn't have any runs this event
What on earth is that thing
>>683424363Holy kek>>683425661Nice one!
what's happening
>>683425574>even the shitposters lost interestit's so fucking over
>>683425364no.
It is funny how it's kind of hard to follow where they're at in most games but then for Tetris you can obviously see how much of a clusterfuck the left side is.
Wait, what the fuck was that waffle dono?
Why did left reset mario
>>683425910Cause he’s an idiot and missed the 4-2 vine to get to the warp pipe

>>683425978>didnt watch dogwater>didnt catch ASMlol...
Oh thank god, an ad.
>>683424363how did they get away with this?
>>683425978lol. lmao even
CHOKE
>>683414691Why is there a chad looking dude sat on that bed? He must be short or something.
>>683425461>Next is a turn based RPG "speedrun"Man I like comfy long RPG runs, but even I aren't looking forward to it. Not only is it not on stream 2, but I feel like every fucking marathon has had Golden Sun 1. ASM had it, ESA legends had it, and I feel like I'm forgetting another marathon that had it. I like Golden Sun, but not that much
>>683424767please understand, scheduling trusted runners on stream 2 and asking them to hit a "read donation" button was too hard
>>683424363>"If you don't work 80 hours a week on ESA, lower your voice when you talk to me."
>>683426081>werster bants during the Mario Kart run>God of War 2 kinoit was pretty decent
>>683425525His gofundme failed completely, but his Abobo run is still on the schedule, so I'm assuming he's remote and in chat.
>>683426287no way that fucking flake did a gofundme to come here
>>683426081>>683426181I don't have time to watch every marathon that comes up.
>>683425978>tourists pretending to be oldfags
>>683414691You know it smells wild in there
>>683426249tfw they let us see titties in the god of war 2 rungdq and esa would never
>>683426249>not mentioning the Skyward Sword run never posted a webm before, hope this works
What is this stream setup? I can still hear coin sounds even after they swap from mario. How bad is the delay?
You know ESA popularity has significantly dropped off when threads last several hours and don't hit the bump like in like 40 minutes.
>>683426373nice
>>683426446You clearly weren't around for the primordial ESA threads.
left fucking sucks
>>683426081
>>683426446>muh popularity >>683426574i think its time to go back to the tranny discord

>>683414547damn boys who never helped others moving always look so helpless to me
>>683416634Some shirt companies let you choose the color.
>>683425461It doesn't help that it's EU-slanted. I expect EU favouritism, but the likely best run on Wednesday will be the Halo 3 relay race - which is on at 5AM EST. Heinki also has a run that day, at 8AM EST. What do the burgerclaps get at a decent time slot for them? A 4-hour LoTR run, then shortly after a LTTP randomiserThere's no stream 2 to save the yanks either. If you want to enjoy this ESA, you gotta either catch the reruns or ruin your sleep cycle to wake up early
Has this nigga on the left ever actually played SMB before because he sucks total shit.
>>683416837If it really pisses you off I think "Twitch Vod Downloader and Viewer" can let you watch with no ads.
>>683426373I love how these long late night runs either get super comfy like the FF run, or descent into pure insanity like this run. Them trying to hype themselves up over the most stupid shit in an attempt to stay awake made for a great run. Still hear them yell the fucking Lumpy Pumpkin

>>683427803NTA, I do
>>683427803>Do you want a sound version?Well if you happen to have it, yes please. Would be nice to save it with sound so I can relive the moment 3 years from now
European Speedrunning event, using american dollars instead of euros for donations...We really have a shitty currencly no one wants to touch with a ten foot pole, huh.
>$2 from CrowdStrikekek>>683427874what is swedish currency anyways?
>>683427874I wonder who makes posts like these? Who the fuck cares about shit like that on the internet.
>>683427874it's a swedish event so both dollars and euros are foreign currency to them...
>>683428020The krona. Surprised they did not fall for the common currency crap.
>>683428020Krona, which sound like some JRPG chick's name.
>>683428224
>>683428271Those pronouns were a sign.
>just nonstop host talk and donation spamYeah fuck this
Just tuned in, wtf is going on with the donos?
>>683426373that run had a bit too much shouting and screeching for my taste, I get that they were trying to keep themselves awake but it was too much for me
>>683428021It's the event nearest to me. I do care about these things. All the others event feel like "shit on internet" to me.Also, if I donated, I don't know if I can get charged for currency conversion.
>>683426373>>683427293>>683427346>there are no vods of this
God, fuck this stream. first the buffering, now 2 minutes commercial ad break.

>>683428850Z
>>683428850B for good concept but terrible implementation
>>683428850FAwful gimmick.
>>683428850B-
>>683428850B. It got enjoyable once two games were removed.
>>683428850B was tolerable later in the run
>>683428850Oh shit is it finally over? I didn't even watch it, it looked fucking boring.
>>683428850D, too chaotic
>>683428850I'm doin' him a C
>>683428850D, run itself was S-tier but non-stop donation begging ruined it.
>>683428850D, horrible gimmick and the announcers yelling loudly over the entire thing while reading out $1 donations was incredibly annoying
