I've noticed there's no dumb gameshow shit on the schedule or milestone madness kinda shit. Is that because they were the ideas of someone who left and they were pushing it not Edenal or whatever or is it because they just legit don't have the people anymore to do that? Or did they just get a clue? I never liked the gameshows, well they were fine it was just there was WAY too many of them, like two a day.

The GDQ higher ups have always had issues with other speedrun events, like in a very weird way. They look down on them all and definitely think of them as lesser and bad events. They're definitely kinda paranoid about some and have to shit talk them.

In terms of mainstream attention? Yes. They'll not get the ordinary Twitch viewer in anymore. Zoomers don't care about Speedrunning and any generation before that has already seen what Speedrunning has to offer and is over it. Speedrunning events being a big part of Twitch is no longer a thing, it was just a fad.

The Plum OC is posted on the booru, at least: https://vidya.pics/post/list/plum/1

What do you mean? Katamari wasn't ran at SGDQ.
>>
>>683462440
Its gonna make it funnier when GDQ gets his with it, this kinda stuff never stops at one thing, it seeps into the rest of the industry. Someone from UKSG got outed recently, someone from the Mario Speedrun community got outed. Its slowly making its way to GDQ. And as we all know, GDQ has a very shaky past, and a lot of skeletons in their closet.

Just bide time and be patient and wait for Keizaron's eventual "WE SO SORRY AT GDQ, WE DO BETTER WE PWOMISE :(((" tweet then people can respond with "shitshow org being a shitshow"

And Mean. Katamari is on there and in the end he just left the ZZZ and SSS spam in anyways as no matter what he did people sperged out.

>>683463121
It was basically
>Remove ZZZ spam, people sperged out into 3 threads worth of drama
>Remove SSS spam people sperged out into 3 threads worth of drama
>Remove both people sperged out into three threads worth of drama
>Only removed the ratings of people who were banned in that thread people sperged out
>Left it as it is people sperged out
Then he had fun with it for a bit by constantly chaing it since people were legit seething over the rating of this run, and he got schizo accusations of chart tamporing. So he took it out, that caused people to sperg out.
Then in the end he just decided to leave all results in, and that caused people to sperg out. In the end, spergs who take the chart too serious are gonna sperg.

Its actually the same person most of the time. Pizza Tower, Bayonetta, Bomberman etc.

It does kind of prove their point, if their systems are such a bodge job they can't really just leave them to run by themselves and need a full team to watch them constantly.

The drops are too big for that alone. There's four distinct ways the change was a fuck-up.

The average night-shift employee is statistically likely to be three things: wealthier than average, single, and able to watch content while on the job. The rerun schedule is set up in a way that unintentionally guarantees that this prime donator demographic is presented with runs they've already seen for upwards of half of their primary viewing window.
Globally, it strongly disincentivizes speedrun superviewers taking a full week of vacation to catch every run they're interested in. They do not need to commit to the event to view everything if there's a mandatory catch-up period.
Fair weather viewers that leave it on in the background for the full duration now have to set it up 7 times as often, instead of setting it up once and leaving it running (think hobby stores, progressively minded offices, or high viewership homes).

That last one hints at the real view-killer: the most difficult part of building a stream audience is in getting the viewers to turn on the stream. Every time a viewer closes the stream, you have to go through that all over again. It can not be understated how many viewers are lost for the rest of the week simply because there is no single game that interests them on Day X so they don't turn the stream off after it starts rerunning on Day X-1. Repeated content is more anathematic than content the viewer doesn't care about. One is neutral, the other is completely offensive to the human mind.

Just a complete blunder on all fronts and anyone with the most basic understanding of content marketing could have pointed out how all of this would go.

Gonna give you some /fit/ advice as someone who doesn't touch /fit/ because it sucks.
I went on OMAD and it works on my machine. The first week is rough. Ten-twelve days in, I adjusted. Depending on when I wake up and go to sleep I might get briefly hungry in "the morning" but it passes without much thought.

Just eat (including calorie dense drinks) once a day, stopping if you get full. That's it. Zero counting calories, zero caring about macros or overall nutrient mixes or carbs or ketolysis or anything like that.

It is the lowest effort diet, the problem is the same as any other diet just getting it to stick for long enough to become a habit. I've been on it ten weeks at this point and I no longer worry. I no longer keep snacks on hand. Plus dinner hits better now.

It might not be for you, but if you have the willpower to devote two weeks to only eating during a single opportunity a day, try it.

This is why runners use splits. You find joy in things you did better in each particular run, and it makes it easy to tell where you're fucking up in a general sense so you can practice it more.

I assume anon means that the split program doesn't tell you how good the segment is relative to your other attempts, so it won't turn green/red/whatever colors you set for each split, it's just there to log it while you're running.

GDQ is so cooked that they were begging for feedback on Reddit but it was just a bunch of the usual people demanding they keep reading the free Palestine and trans rights donations. It's not just speedrunning. 2023 and 2024 have been an era of orbital decay where creators who take their audiences for granted are rapidly losing them. Everyone is too old and burnt out to beg for the privilege of their viewership to be met with any appreciation. It's why the MCU is dying. No more "blue ocean" strategy, either. Newer younger audiences aren't watching stale old shit. KaiCenat beats GDQ's all-time high once a week. It's do or die at this point when it comes to audience retention. Those who fuck around will be left behind and never recover from it.

The impact of this can be shown in analytics where there's a massive drop after the reruns start for obvious reasons, and when ESA starts again, it doesn't recover the viewership, in fact when it starts to recover, its time to end. And thats not a timezone thing, past ESA's at the same early times like 7am had higher viewership than this year. Its because the viewer has to be constantly reminded that its back on and to tune back in.

>>
>>683470028
GDQ's running on corporate values, both in term of how much they get and how they have to treat "competition" as beneath them.
>>
>>683470139
No, all I do is restock in Booktastic Books.
>>
>>683470165
I think there's still room for both speedrunning events and charity events but the ones the size of GDQ or ESA that chase mainstream attention are probably pretty fucked in the long run.

The much smaller ones where it's a lot more runner centric, a lot cheaper and a lot more free from stuff like corporate sponsors and the priorities those force are probably going to stick around a lot longer.
>>
>>683470165
How come events like ESA and GDQ refuse to convert into a regular gaming event?
Imagine how much easier it would be to fill time and how much fun it would be if it was just a gaming event that did all kind of stuff like tournaments, co-op streams, showcases, speedrunning, challenges and more.
It's also clear that the novelty has died for speedrunning, not only for the audience but runners as well as most runs are just people running some obscure game with no competition that barely counts as speedrunning just to get to the event.

Feels like they are so deep into the "speedrun community" end and invested too much that they are afraid to break from from the speedrun brand. Having everything centered around speedrun is not just sustainable anymore.

>>683470506
They have. GDQ gave a prime time slot to the finals of one of their on-site tournaments. Randomizer challenges and blindfolded runs have been mainstays for about 2 year now. ESA did a 5-game "it shuffles randomly whenever someone donates" challenge run earlier today. Tetris and DDR-like showcases are so overdone that they're played out. Plus ESA had all those fucking "personality game shows" at the last few events. They're both fully willing to do non-speedrun stuff that sounds even remotely interesting on paper.
>>
>>683469971
The ones that did offer feedback to (mostly the "hey maybe don't yell at someone for wearing floppy rabbit ears") just got defensive remarks from him. He spent an entire night defending that floppy hat shit while GDQ was still running. Literal hours.
>>
>>683470028
A lot of them think any speedrun event that isnt GDQ is a right wing chug event, see Fast50.
>>
>>683470832
Both are in a way the rest of the event bleeding into the marathon stuff, the Evil Zone thing at GDQ was the equivalent of Street Boyz was for ESA, game room dicking around that turned into a friendly competition and snowballed from there.

ESA's Taskmaster thing was kind of the same sort of stuff, though also trying to go a lot bigger, obviously shooting themselves in the foot from having Metako go and Edenal's gone into hiding so while he's up his arse enough to want to be in charge of that, he can't.
>>
>>683470445
I think that the best thing for events to do is to become competitive, something like Evo. Yeah they're not gonna die any time soon for sure but they'll never reach the heights they once were in terms of just capturing that casual Twitch viewer's attention. You'll have your hardcore fans who tune into all of it, and you'll have your fans of a specific game or are part of a specific speedrun community who tune in for a specific game and thats it.

The whole GDQ really pushing the dog thing hard and begging for mainstream journos to cover it like they once did from 2015 - 2017 was pathetic and will never happen again. They gotta accept that.

Thats just a gaming convention anon, there's plenty of those too. It should still be purely speedrun focused, but the best way to go about it is for someone to make a new, competitive speedrun event, then a casual "speedruncon" kinda thing.
>>
>>683471049
A lot of these events are the same circles of people doing the same sort of thing so you'd probably not get that, certainly not in the European circles.

I'm more into stuff like Dogwater and what was ESA Legends, more relaxed, more people just having fun, they make what they make for the charity or whatever but don't chase that at the expense of everything else.
>>
>>683470832
>Randomizer challenges and blindfolded runs have been mainstays for about 2 year now
Those are still speedruns tho, but I agree with the rest but it they often fall kind of flat because it's the same showcase every time like you said.
Tetris, DDR, rhythm game or a CAVE shmup.

>Thats just a gaming convention anon

I've seen reductions and there's literally no scale in my house except the kitchen one for cooking with. I straight up do not know my BMI or weight, I'm just eyeballing shit and it works... but I know that this is a "works for me, may not work for you" deal.

The closest I get to "counting" is looking at the numbers on foods before I buy them to see if something is shockingly full of empty calories (eg I could eat a bag of doritos in one sitting, but a 230g bag of salted doritos is over 1000 fucking cals. Half your food for the day in a bag of crunchy crisps? wtf.) I don't think "Oh but this meal is >2k" because diets are about long term shit, not whether you went one fart over your limit on tuesday and thus broke some magical streak. I also don't care about breaking my setup once in a while because friends or family or my loving, caring girlfriend of 13 years invites me to a meal out. I promised myself to not become a MUH DIET guy.

If you're having a fine time macro counting then carry on. The best habit is the one you can stick to.

It's been amusing to me, we've had that shit with stuff like GDQ putting the decent runs at annoying time and ending at ungodly o'clock since forever.

Also I work in comms and have worked on similar setups to this shit so it's been funny to see so many armchair experts come out of the woodwork, who know for sure how easy it is to run this shit with duplicate setups 24/7 on only a skeleton crew.

Their stated reasons are it gives a buffer to keep the schedule from drifting like a motherfucker GDQ style, lets everybody gets some sleep and makes it so you don't end up with runners and staff getting the short straw and not being able to enjoy the event since they're stuck on the night shifts.

It's been the way for the past three in-person events ESA has run.

GDQ schedule doesn't even drift that bad. They filled the entire marathon with couch sessions and interviews that are supposed to be """buffers"""" to keep the schedule aligned, but we are assaulted with their hamfisted bi hourly demand of attention at SGDQ while sitting under a fart blanket.
>>
>>683482971
Remember that one time when it was 6 hours off schedule and it ended at 6am? Good times.
>>
>>683482971
Last SGDQ was something like an hour or more out by the end of the first half day, and it only got worse.
>>
>>683483042
I remember because they kept the fucking audience hostage for almost 2 hours yelling "LETS GO TWITCH CHAT" until they broke a donation record and let their final game of the marathon run.
That's what I remember, it wasn't drift, it was them being greedy pieces of shit.
>>
>>683483042
Wasn't that the same year they convinced runners to pull out their runs mid fucking event and then re-added that Pokemon incentive run that failed the day before? or am I thinking of a completely different time they utterly fucked the schedule?
>>
>>683482484
the runs have been very mediocre and theres no stream 2 or graveyard shift runs
>>683481830
"NEET hours" is whatever a NEET wants them to be, the reality is that people just miss the graveyard shift runs as those were usually the most comfy and/or fun
