MIGGERS
Stream 2 bros... they're defiling its grave...
>03:30:00
Glad to see Runnerguy is still around. Made me have some flashbacks to knit chan and Chibi, so thanks for the memories during this 3.5hr speedrun.
>>683529234james may
What do the stars on the bingo card mean?
>>683529280That's their ships. They're playing battleship.
>>683529249The "neat" factor already ran out 5 minutes ago...
migure skatin
>>683529341thanks anon
i had a huge crush on ruto when i was younger and all my friends made fun of my for it
> Flash games from a time when the internet was still a good place> Runnerguy runI was not prepared for this one-two punch of nostalgia
When is the last time Runnerguy was at any speedrunning event?Awesome to see the man back, he's cool
MIGGERS BROTHER HH
I just listen to that one swedish old fuck talk about alzheimers on repeat because his voice triggers my asmr
Migg Schumacher.
>>683529450Good. Saria's the correct girl to have a crush on with Malon as a close second.
>>683529274IT IS!
>>683529473comfy autistic catwalk
>>683529450Faggot friends
>>683529538We're all miggers here
>>683529542Basic bitch, "I'm going to marry the first woman that fucks me" ass loser.
>>683529512Does his voice sound purple to you too?
>>683529542saria was good too
Runnerguy looks like he just woke up from a coma and rolled straight back into running
>>683529512
How come the game video is in higher resolution in stream 2?
>>683529473>IM A HEADBANGA
>>683529770kek
>3:30:00Who makes these descisions holy shit
>>683529808Overclocked their N64.
>3½ hours of thisBro?
>>683529808He's playing the wii vc version which is 480p instead of 240p.
It's literally fucking bingo.
>>683529862It's like they had no submissions this year, every day has had a massive chunk taken up by a single run.
Where is stream 2 when you need it? Bring it back you cunts.
>>683529990Holy shit really?
>>683529770I'm going to save this webm and wonder what the fuck is it about in a month.
>>683529990>>683530118wtf bros?
>>683529250Go buy Chibi's black market takoyaki from his makeshift food stand, then.
>>683529538>michael is super retarded>family gets blackmailed to pay millions or they leak michaels medical record>mick gets kicked out of f1>mick says he will be back next season>experts say he definitely wont>ralf outs himself as fagHow much can one family take?
>>683530118It's not battleship though, it's all random.
>>683530186He has high shots to be back in F1 because he absolutely rapes his WEC teammates and shit on Doohan in the private test. I am confident he will be back. + Toto is a good manager he can fanagle a seat for him.
>>683529954Elden Slop after. Today is over.
Only 3 hours left!
>>683530334yay!
Tiltify goes down during esa KEK
>>683530229what do you mean?
>>683529250
what was that announcement on stream 2? They are turning off the stream for an hour for maintenance?
>>683530389clean your ears it is the donation platform that is down
>>683530303Lets hope so.
>>683530320its another meme run toothey are desperate to get attention outside of their core audience
>>683530376I don't know how to make that sentence simpler, sorry. It's not battleship, it's just bingo. It's random. Maybe you can tell me what part you don't get?
I was thinking of shooping his face onto a Link before/after pulling the Master Sword but Link actually traveled less years than the time between AGDQ 2013 and ESA Summer 2024
>been trying to make a video edit for the past 45 minsvegas pro is the most convoluted piece of fucking shit program I've ever had the displeasure of using. imagine being unable to make simple fucking changes to a video I am going to fucking scream
>>683530535Thanks for reminding me, anon
what is beta quest?
>>683529069I got inspired by The Impossible Quiz run this is a reference to it's sequel though
>>683530745OoT but only betas can play it
>>683530670>you kind of want to stay child as long as possible>going back in time is kind of difficult
>>683530682You sound like me, kek.
>>683530575>It's not battleshiphow is it not?
>>683530765kek
>>683530805finally a game i can play
>>683530065It's over isn't it
>>683530906>how is it not?>>683530575>It's random.
Did anyone ever actually use the potion shop?
>>683530551Who is even interested in this?
stream 2 audio is much more comfy with quieter game audio and less echoey reverb
>>683531036It's also battleship
>>683531036but why does that mean it's not battleship?
>>683530575that doesn't make any sense
>>683530670He is actually looking decent at this event. Google some other images of his. He normally looks like a hobo.
>>683531042Nah, Ocarina was way too generous with the heart drops and how much fairies heal. It was actually surprising going back to Link to the Past recently, hearts drop so much less and fairies barely healed shit, I brought potions into a few dungeons.
>>683531156>>683531187>>683531193There's strategy (not a lot) in battleship. Having it be random instead of your choice makes it not battleship. That they chose where the ships are doesn't make it battleship.
>>683531149You're welcome
>>683530065They lost a lot of almost-certainly-approved runs over the pastebin drama. Argick pulled all of his, and you just know they planned to give him 1 or 2 hours of screentime. Approving longer runs meant less last minute vetting to do.
>>683531480based
>>683531480ANON NOSOMEONE IN HERE IS GONNA RAT ON YOU
>>683531480I'm reporting you to the authorities
>>683531562Let them lmao
>>683531331Why would it not be their choice
>>683531480TELL THEM TO STOP IGNORING THE PLUM VIDEO
>>683531331>>683531331The loading zone connections are randomized at start, but deterministic. A -> B (not implying B -> A) remains consistent.So they very much can choose which field to pursue, they just have to learn the layout from which stems their challenge in routing.Their intended/pursued moves are not randomized. At most they are influenced/weighted by the initial randomization, making pursuit of certain fields a more difficult choice.
>>683531480Edenal is browsing this thread.
>>683531746there's a plum video?
>>683531480I FUCKING KNEEL
How was it?
>>683531861not very interesting frankly
>>683531480Who the fuck is the fake panda
>>683531861semi funny shitshow
>>683531480Draw a doodle of plum and slide it to the top left of your desk so she pops up on stream.
>>683531861The game was need, the run was shit.

Damn this combat fire
I have no idea what is happening.
ESA enjoyers that are on 4chan are amazing. He's now known as /ourguy2/Hi ducky
>>683531480What does Lovare's hair smell like?
>>683532304That's ESA's Metako body double to throw off the unsuspecting viewer.
And stream 2 sound is going to shit.
>>683531480do it
>>683532407Half the event staff lurk here
>>683532536ESA Janny, oh ESA Janny, the sound isn't to my liking.Fix this immediately.
>>683530065but they had submissions this year.most of these runs you are seeing here were selected as first picks. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wS92We2X7Wyw6kFib81oTyP34l5kgjLhhCC5Sl0vBok/edit?gid=0#gid=0
>>683532589but why?
vibes so chill they're against the law
>>683532661Why not?
>>683531480uhh are you sure you can do that
>>683532626The first picks were made with stream 2 in mind. But then the drama happened, people pulled out, and no stream 2 anymore.
>>683532589Then why hasn't plum and frame perfect been played yet?
>>683530765that's great
>>683532813Only faggots lurk here.
>>6835326614chan is funit has a lot of problems that became worse over the years, but it's still fun
>>683532813because there are other places that are more "acceptable" to be on (especially in the speedrun community)>>683532928I see
>>683532867No one cares, English Ben even posted his uplink on here.
>>683532901Because Edenal want to show his hand up gooseberts ass
>>683527904New to this so lets see if it worked but the answer is both Yes and No.
>>683533078Shove, also who doesn't?

Guys where are the hot speedrunner girls that europe is known for? Did I already miss those segments?
>>683533563Battleship bingo. The stars are where the ships are. He's playing against another runner on stream 2
>>683533203It worked, but what is that answer? Saying both options says nothing
>>683531480Thank you for being based.
>>683531480hi anon, hope you're having fun!
is ESA still based?
GDQ is a complete fucking embarrassment these days but ESA hasn't even fucking hit $20K yet?what the fuck? there's no fucking way they can continue it at this rate
is baal going to brazil?
I buzzcut my hair guys, I feel better now :)
>>683534037>what the fuck? there's no fucking way they can continue it at this ratepeople have been saying this for years now
>>683534115I need to get a haircut as well. It’s too hot with my afro
>>683534037I don't think they've had a single donation come in for the past hour actually, I think the donation counter was the same as when I left
Why is Link yellow?
>>683534228Shit's down, or at least was.
>>683534037i get the feeling this is what the AGDQ donations would be like, you know, if the whole money laundering donations were excluded
>>683534037Viewership is down to 1/6 of what it was in the pre-bedtime era. A final total a bit over 20k would've reasonable to guess. That they're getting as many donations as they are is impressive, considering.
>>683534291That explains a lot, thanks
>>683534037I'm gonna say it: fuck the donations. Fuck charities. Just host these events because they're fun, run it on a small budget like the good old days. We don't NEED to tie it to some stupid charity every single year.
>>683534115I got a cut too so I'm more comfy in my fursuit
>>683534434and how are they going to fund the event then you fucking retard
>>683534489

>>683534115i think i'm starting to bald, might get a buzzcut too
>>683534610I haven't. I've been working on my path of exile build for league launch on friday
>>683534532If you lose all the wannabe professional bullshit and stick to basic affordable equipment it's really not that hard. You can even go fully digital if you want to completely cut stuff like travel costs and renting out a venue. Dumbass, don't act like you know shit.
>>683534639Just get implants. Like 2000 in turkey
>>683534532ESA takes place in Sweden, they can become a member of Sverok and have the state pay everything for them.
>>683533814He enters the venue for a short amount of time (Saying hi and also bringing merch for Yato since they will meet at BSG) but as soon as he's done, he goes home or goes anything not ESA. He doesn't want to deal with to deal with their bs. There will be a dinner Friday at some restaurant. Shii is most likely about to go down
>>683534727>host these events because they're fun>go fully digital
>>683534730>JUSTNot that simple though is it, it's not magic
>>683534639I am buzzcut anon, my hair has been shit forever (thin and uneven), so that's why I buzzcut. Frankly it doesn't look any better but it does make me feel better and that makes me happy, maybe it'll make you happy too.
>>683534939>duhhh what are options duhhhh

Did you ever find it weird that specifically just the two fire bosses have a different theme song from the others? It's like they were planning on giving every boss a new theme but just gave up at Dodongo Cavern then just used it again for Fire Temple.

>>683534889Ah that explains a lot. I would say the answer would just be a no, that is clearly trying to avoid the current ESA. He is just there for the people. Kinda symbolic but sad that both the general hype and Hypeman himself are not really there. Thanks for clarifying.>There will be a dinner Friday at some restaurant. Shii is most likely about to go downMan I wouldn't want to be there, it's going to very awkward. Everyone is walking on eggshells, not a good mindset to have a fun diner. As fun as chaos is, I actually hope nothing happens. Because then there might be a chance for ESA to recover, while ruining the diner is going to sour the entire week

>>683537603battleship but when time is up whoever has most hits wins
>>683537667>esa was killed by a refrigerator
>>683537431I don't understand why they keep doing this year in year out, so many fucking years. They get it right by the end of the event, why not start the next event like that? Why always experiment when most of the time it's shit.
Why has ESA done this Bingo thing more than once? Sometimes its like when they get an idea in their heads, they push it and run it to the ground. Like the rhythm game stuff was successful and the next event they had an entire block, when they just thought "Oh lets bring all the ESA legends stuff we did onto the main stream that'll work" and it just didnt and they had to reverse it, when they did the gameshow thing and ran that into the ground and there was too many gameshows that one ESA like twice a day. When they got the idea to try viewer itch.io games and decided "lets dedicate 2 hours to it" Its like they don't know moderation. Its like they think of a gimmick idea and go "DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT"
>>683537657>>683537659>>683537712>>683537737I'm even more confused now
>>683537851stream 1 is competing against stream 2
>>683537761Especially when they had smaller events to experiment on, not anymore when the people running it back out.
>>683537891Ahhh, got it
>>683537761I don't mind them experimenting, it's good to try new stuff to see if they can improve the event. But the problem is that they are trying ideas that are clearly retarded and should have been stopped at the planning stage. Unfortunately, Edenal banned everyone who could have told him how stupid the idea was.
>>683537810ESA bleed so much staff I wonder if their idea guys are gone or maybe the pool of staff left is so little worse ideas get forced in with no one to push back and it becomes permanent.
>>683537810Blame runners for submitting it. A lot of them play bingo in their spare time and there is a robust community for it, but forget that it's incomprehensible to the average viewer. I guess blame ESA for accepting it as well, but still. It's sort of like a community showcase, but I've never seen it actually be good.
>>683537431>>683537476>>683537761I think what annoys me most about Edenal and Planks is they'll insist and double down on something, then they'll just coward out of it. Either double down and keep doubling down and power through, or back out of something BEFORE its too late. They need to stop telling people how wrong they are and wiping their discord messages, going through with the dumb decision then going "Oh you were right" during, and by that time the persons left in annoyance.They'll just stop entire ideas in the middle of it, not even wait until the end. But if they're gonna do that why be so stubborn like "NUH UH" the entire time before it? Their discord is a headache I swear.
>>683538081Maybe, but this kinda stuff was happening before the staff purge. Since around early 2023 I'd say. With the arrival of Celina. Though you are right that it seems after specific people left early this year, the weird shit started to happen.
>sky temple appears>"woah cool">immediately leavesoh
This is extremely comfy for a randomiser. I blame the stream 2 effect
>>683535842a-anon we don't do this...
>>683538505>stream 2Wait wtf when did stream 2 come back? or is it a rerun of old runs?
>>683538620The other runner is on stream 2
>>683538620stream 1 vs stream 2 on this racenormally a mirror of stream 1
stream 2 guy is kind of an idiot. He's making way too many assumptions that the other guy isn't picking squares. So instead of taking like 5 minutes to try and clear out a square he's spinning his wheels looking for 1 very specific room that can open up a few squares but he doesn't even know if those squares are worth going for
>>683538147They have this on their submission form. Which implies "We want gimmick runs the most" and probably makes people think their run won't be accepted if its a regular run and needs a gimmick. Which I think actually aligns with ESA's current ethos if you check how their runs have been since around 2023, they're getting more and more gimmickier. That seems to be what they want and wanna push forward. Not even big unique gimmicks, but think about the amount of races and bingos and randomizers and gauntlets and stuff the past few events.I feel they're deliberately trying to distance themselves from a speedrun event to become more of a variety game event with a focus on speedruns. I think they know speedrunning events as a big thing for Twitch have passed and you need some sort of "grab" to get the average Twitch streamer in like "Huh, Taskmaster? Sounds interesting I'll tune in". I think GDQ knows this too. Hence the dog run.
>>683535842i'm never again going to a barber after getting macedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-4JeND-SCA
>donation gimmicksThis just got even more confusing
>>683538924I was gonna say that no i wasn't I have no idea what is happening but look at that little green lad go
>>683538047And banned them for telling him how stupid his old ideas were, which turned out to be stupid, and he's now reversed. Meaning their ban was for nothing.
>>683537431What changed?
>>683539190He wants to fill in squares that have the other guy's ships on them. Stream1 you can see his squares and the stars signify ships.He's gotten some RNG rooms where he could potentially clear out a square, but he's assuming the ship won't be there and instead he wants to find zelda since it'll open up the possibility of 3 squares. He's trying to force RNG instead of rolling what he got. And it's probably okay from a statistic point of view but he has so little coverage on the map and he has 0 clue where any ships are. If he had went for the lens of truth in the bottom of the well he'd have got a hit and known to try for tiles around it
>>683539208Yeah, I really wonder if it will lead to some self-reflection. But considering that should have happened before, he probably lacks the capabilities for that.
>>683537810Oh and I forgot crowd control for this. Anyone remember that one ESA, I think Summer 2022 where they had a fuck ton of crowd control it killed the gimmick? Their last run of the event was Cuphead Crowd control and just hearing them all cackling like hyenas and the runner doing the typical crowd control pretending to be shocked "Ahhh oh no what should I do?" bit.Now my memory's being jogged and I remember those crowd controls had the option to kill the player if they paid enough. So it just became people spamming that and watching the runner just rerun the first 15 - 30 seconds of level 1 over and over. Fun.
This may be the worst run I've watched that wasn't because of the couch in some way.
>>683538752they mentioned thislol
>that donook which of you was that
>>683539512>>683539493all me :^)
>>683539512>>683539541no me :^)
>>683539365Anon is talking about the first day, where they had a cam for the donation reader cut-in midrun and replace the runner cam, just to read donations. They quickly realized how stupid that was, but we got some laughs out of it at least.
Watching Quake and Flash, what happened with Ocarina?
>>683539384they will only do self-reflection if they see their current lifestyle is being threatened by the (extremely) low numbers, but at this point so many bridges were burned that I legit don't know who'd even be willing to believe in them anymore
>>683539445Runnerguy is forever cursed to have bad couches.
>>683539541
>>683539367Alright I'm up to speed. Thanks for the explanation. I'm not sure how much me never having played this game is hampering my understanding of the run in general but it's still enjoyable.
>>683539583Glad they sorted that. It's like the first season of Bob Ross having background music.
>>683539621cheats
>CremiaEnjoyerGood taste, anon
>>683531480>>683531149You were saying? kek my fucking ears holy shit.
*FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
anon you fuck turn down the mic volume
>>683539417Crowd controls are flat out unwatchable. People that aren't funny thinking they need to be making jokes and yelling constantly becomes too nauseating to stand within seconds.
>>683539935get fuckedt. stream 2 desk fag
>Stream 2 enjoyer
>activate it
>>683539635The hope is that those two still love ESA and want it to succeed, even if they have step down after this. Then a trusted member of the community can replace them, add in some apologies from everyone, and you might be able to rebuild some of the burned bridges. But like I said, I don't expect them to even think of doing this, because it would never have gotten to this point if they were capable of this type of self-reflection. See Edanal banning everyone that wasn't a yes-man and that speech at the start of the event claiming they are just about the charity while dramaseekers tried to disrupt this.
>>683531480holy shit
Stream 2 enjoyers are now deaf because of that fucking mic whine.
>>683539973NEVER!!!SUFFER!!!
>>683537485>>683539365Just over the years:>Hey this is our new thing Milestone Madness where we'll be playing in person games but you MUST hit the milestone or else we won't play the game! Actually nevermind we're doing every Milestone madness anyways>This is our new camera angle! Deal with it. Actually nevermind we're switching the angle again. Actually nevermind we're just moving it back to how it used to be.>This is our bright luninescent table! Actually nevermind we're removing the table.>Now when you donate it plays sound effects! Actually nevermind we're removing most of them and quieting them down>Here's our new donation cam! When you donate, a cam of the donation reader comes up! Because they don't get enough attention with our new 30 minute talking segments between runs that we didn't go back on. Actually nevermind.>No more stream 2! Actually nevermind stream 2 (a technicality on this one, not really, but I thought I'd add it)
>>683539867They skipped over the donation message
>>683531480lmao you're alright dude. Play frame perfect during the intermission?
>>683531480Can I have lovare's number?
>>683540217Can't, no videos are installed here, nor is the video player set up. STREAM 2 IS BEING ROBBED OF THE GOOD STUFF
>>683540195lmao
>>683536425Nice
>>683540195Don't forget about the godawful layout change, shrinking the gameplay to be smaller than the runner cam
Who would you like to see piloting ESA, anon?
>>683540203It must have been too dangerously based. where's the dono messages set?>>683540326Our oppression can't continue, stream 2 bros
>>683536472well they have to justify the suffering they subject themselves to somehow, if they don't enjoy it everyone else does right?
>>683540639my cock
>>683540639meI would turn it into eroge speedrunners assemblyget me the top Rance and Alchemy Meister speedrunners NOW
>>683540326Those fuckers can try to kill stream 2, but they can never kill our comfy souls! Rise up, stream 2 bros!
>>683539978I find they're fine if they don't have the "pay to instakill" command, but since most of this is for money, they always do. This makes the entire run pointless as for the entire 1 hour - 2 hours, they're on the first half of the first level and thats it.
>>683540639Trump.
>>683540639S>The Dogwater boysA>Fatzke, MetakoB>CallMeZeroReddit>Paulister
>>683540639big johnhe is a vital part of the event after all
Does esa have a donation tracker like gdq
Stream 2 isn't comfy with that audio popping every few seconds.
>>683540803>sorry guys no ESA this year I couldnt fit on the plane again
>>683539635It is though, it was ESA winter. I just think the best thing to do is prop up another EU event, but they're all so segmented across different events instead of focused on one event I dunno if theyd be able to do that.
There are enough games here to make a Simple awful games block, come on ESA step up.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsMvKnB7m6NTjaEk9_HnRwxz5VGWHnLam
bullying the scots, kinda based ngl
This really is a shit end of the day. Like 6 hours for two games.
>>683540639I hear Joe Biden isn't busy anymore.
>>683540803>ESA needs a fundraiser to happen>ESA is cancelled at the last second>No refunds
>>683540981This has been every fucking day so far.
>>683540118Didn't something similar happen at ESA Summer 2023 or Winter 2023 after THE GERMAN was a complete menace the event before? Like people reported hm and Edenal did a speech before they aired to the crowd and people at ESA said it was this awkward speech about dramamongering and ignoring drama. Then he weirdly hinted at it in his opening speech and people were like "Drama?"
>>683541032Last night they had at least three shorter games after the golden sun run.
>>683540981more like the entire """"""marathon""""" has been shit so far
>>683540757I am arisen, at least in my thoughts
>>683540639
>>683540981Why are all the best runs in the early morning when most of us are asleep? We're gonna miss the Sonic block
>>683541154Good enough, us stream 2 bros have to stay comfy at all costs
>>683540981>>683541032>>683541130Its on purpose. They needed long games to fit the schedule times due to so many runners/attendees dropping out like only a month prior. The lovare stuff was after submissions were accepted and scheduling was started, cause I remember the rough schedule being released only like the day before. She deliberately timed it for sure and knew what she was doing.So they had a lot of free spaces, so they had to stuff it with runners who didn't leave, hence the amount of repeat runners, and hence all the really long games this year.
I miss lovare
>>683531480toasting in ebin bread
>>683540736>Alchemy Meister speedrunI need this.
>>683541336Devilishly based from her, theres extra evil in her milkers.
>>683541441I miss mom too.
>>683541336truly, females should be excluded from male oriented events
I can't watch anymore of this shit goodnight anons have fun
>>683541336this is not the first time you've tried pulling this lie.Lovare's tweet with the pastebin was on the 6th of June. First picks were released on the 19th of May. Schedule released was planned for June 16.There was no server activity the day before she dropped her pastebin other than some random youtube video discussionTry again with something a little more plausible next time.
>>683540736A lot of these h-games have worksafe modes, especially as the steam default. It'd tickle me pink seeing a runner play that and feign innocence about how a casual playthrough of it might look
>>683540736Nice, I'll run Ero Trap Sweeper.
>>683541098I don't remember that, we had so much drama that it's all blending together. But probably would be winter 2023, since the German is confirmed to have been weird towards the alien runner. Plus he had his run on stream 2 that nobody showed up for and later someone confirmed that was because he wasn't well liked. Was also the ESA with the DQ runner that was all alone, where we had fun drawing in the audience for him. I miss comfy stream 2
>>683540203They've been really anal about donation messages this event, my harmless Morshu message got censored. Yes I'm still salty.
>>683541932>donating to this
>>683540736I'll run Raidy 2.
>>683541719See me in Blazing Aries, I have the route for that maxed and my combos are peak
>>683541993It's a real charity that does real work instead of printing pamphlets, so I have no qualms there.
>>683540541this image actually inspired me to make minereally wanted to capture that 4 am run loneliness
>>683540620>>683540541plummind
I admit, I really haven't been watching this.
The crowd has emptied.
>>683542251Wait, no they haven't, both streams have full front rows
>>683542080The core gameplay in this one was pretty fun, but it was also really grindy.
Where the hell is the 4 square boat
>>683540736Is there a secret community of eroge runners somewhere, it's not like Twitch/Youtube would allow them and speedrun.com doesn't accept games without "gameplay" (no visual novels for example).
>>683542229Jesus, Anon.. Why would you admit such a thing?
>>683542229I have it on as background noise, i have no idea what they are talking about or what is happening.
>>683541625
>>683541820The speech anon is talking about happened right before the start or the stream in Summer 2023, and it was about the events of Winter 2023. the German hugged the alien runner without asking, yes. the organizers had the beautiful idea of framing that a rumor to stop people from discussing it. And then doubled down on it before Summer started. There is a pattern here.
>>683542374Probably but it's also how you play it. The better you keep your combos going, the richer you get and more sword EXP you build. If you wanna run, NG+ on Severe/Inferno is probably a good category just for weapon abilities being free off the bat
>>683542691I meant for levels. If you don't fight every enemy you pass, you fall behind in levels pretty quick.
>>683542679>The speech anon is talking about happened right before the start or the stream in Summer 2023, and it was about the events of Winter 2023.You're right, it's slowly coming back. I don't pay a lot of attention to the opening speech, so it didn't really stick what happened back then>There is a pattern here.Yeah in hindsight it is fucking obvious. How stupid do you have to be to call something people saw a rumor. But it fits with their response to prizemommy's pastebin. So don't expect them to change and save ESA.
>>683541820B-but why was he alone?
>>683540736Holy shit, Alchemy Meister. Haven't seen that one mentioned in years. A marathon with Rance, Alchemy Meister and MGQ would be /v/ core kino
>>683543134I think it was the night of a dinner or some shit so pretty much the only people at the venue were the runners they scheduled.
>>683542786Lemme tryhard that game again sometime, see if you're rightAlso is it me or was Aries way better than Lacia?
>>683542926nta but fuck off you've been doomposting throughout all the events this month with your fan fiction. And yes I've seen your 'rat about the scheduling before quit playing coy you lying freak. Just shut up and come back to lie some more later like always
>>683542679Didn't Das confirm Habke was one of the accused in Lovare's metoo manifesto?
DAMN SCOTS
>>683543134They scheduled the dinner. Think stream 1 was an OoT 100%, so they sacrificed both streams to go eat. But don't worry, people showed up towards the end and he had a kino fight against an optional boss.
>>683542926damn metako out here scribing arcane tomes of seethe
>>683542926Hi Edenal.
>>683541625Unironically. Makes it hilarious in hindsight how bioholes used to be one of ESA's selling points on 4chan.
it's shite being scotish
>>683543506That's an Edenal post if I've ever seen one.
>>683542926You got completely btfo, not reading that wall of text btw.

>>683543910Good night bros, I'm going to bed. It literally sounds like a shitpost of the worst run ever, you can't even pay me to stay awake for that.
So who won?
>>683543337I didn't play Lacia.
seems like the 3 hours playing were better than watching this

>>683545068no
>>683544958Yeah, but we saw the stream 2 room. With how shit this ESA has been, I'm taking whatever I can get

>>683545068F
>>683545068It's battleship bingo actually
>>683544849TL;DR>You have a gun>But the lewds are more random and amount to everyone being a perv, less creative imo>>683545068C, not enjoyable without the threads or without stream 2, but very enjoyable with it. Runners tried to do tricks but they couldn't get anywhere they needed to, shit was gridlocked
>>683545068B
>>683545068E
A regular Elden Ring run would be bad enough..
>>683545068A
>>683545304The lewds in Aries weren't that great either.
>>683545406I'm so sick and tired of Elden Ring.Just, as a concept.
>>683544894Life is so unfair, so they can set up it, and i'm sure any runner at place would want to go there and show a game on a whim. There is no excuse of "not enough people to manage"
>>683545068C

>>683531480>Framework>KDEbased
>>683545186did peter jackson set up this scene? it looks like forced perspective
>>683545431It was more the personality behind them. I liked Aries as a character and the setting, where it felt like the dev wanted to set up lewds as part of her character first and a game effect second, showing her as a cool action heroine who was open to promiscuity and its pros/cons. The dev overcompensated in Lacia where there's lots of smut but it's all the same gag of everyone around Lacia being a pervert and her getting annoyed over sexual harassment. It just got so stale, which is a shame since there's so much more. The ending was ludo, though, even if not as great as Aries, but your mileage may vary
