GDQ was peak 12 years ago, no one can change my mind.
>>722117374I expect it smells almost exactly the same
>Wind Waker still has a very active scene with new glitches and runs to this day>can't talk about its history because of Nosferatu
I disagree. The donation reading was way more obnoxious and the run commentary was almost nonexistent at times. The only things objectively better about old GDQ are that it was smaller and you could actually chat during the stream.
>>722117374We went from bros in the basement to trannys at the hotel. :(
can you stop?
>>722117481Oh I bet it smells FAR worse with the sepsis.
This seems like hell on earth
>>722117374Mirrored/Cosmo was the original Chibi/Caveman, but everyone forgot.
>>722118357nah, it was fucking great. fun autism being authentic. now it's fakenice troons being obnoxious and controlling
>>722117374John Fucking Numbers really broke this nigga's mind.
>>722118430cause you don't post any videos or images
>>722118357before everyone was fragmented by gamergate and social contagion, it was actually pretty comfy. social distancing was encouraged by personal hygiene. I showered 1x and brushed my teeth 2x every day so I was in the top 25%, but I didn't floss but maybe once every month or so back then so if I ran into a female player there was a good chance I'd be offered chewing gum. but the mood was generally lighthearted and fun, even jubilant. people weren't obsessed with hating their enemies properly
>>722117374yeah it was never the same after it stopped being a tiny event being held in someone's mom's basement or at firehalls
>>722117374it was all right when the troons didn't invade this place yeah
i fucked tolki
>>722120235stiv...

>>722117374Pathetic faggot losers
>>722117374games done queer
>>722120932kek
>>722120868yes, we know you are, anon
>>722121086Faggot folding his arms and responding scornfully kek
>>722117374Yeah cause it was mostly nerds just there to simply play video games for charity, not pseudo-intellectuals playing video games while pretending to be politicians because they read some social media posts
>>722117374move on with your life bro
>>722120664What the fuck is that thing behind the nerd playing?Why not just shave your head clean at that point?
GDQ as a whole was never good, but /v/ is not ready for this conversation.
>>722118430I never forgot him, and I doubt most of /v/ has yet. I've actually met his parents, they lived in my town coincidentally.
What a time man. Twitch was so much better. No censor bullshit, chat as anon and could say nigger and spam the fuck out of emotes.
Give me your webms
>>722120664https://youtu.be/XcBbE3t6cLA
>>722117374has cosmo killed himself yet?
>>722123508nopehe recently de-trooned himself
>>722123539well that's good I guess but dude is fucking batshit insane no fixing that
>>722123539you're fucking lying
>>722123882>>722123587nope, he stopped being able to afford his anxiety meds which were the initial cause of his disphorianow he goes by cosmo again and has been blacklisted by the troon squad
Does anyone remember a moment in GDQ where a donator said that they just came out as trans to their grandfather on his death bed and the entire room was silent
>>722124275So he basically never had gender dysphoria to begin with? I guess it's no surprise considering he was self-medicating and never went to actual doctors for pills and a diagnosis.
gdq cracked my egg
>>722123508>>722124275I wonder if twitch will unban him after he streamed porn during one of his meltdowns
i'd really prefer you be quiet
>>722124846>>722123539That never happened, I looked at his KF thread and there is nothing about him being normal again.
>>722126584So, these >>722123539 >>722124275 anons are lying? How dare they lie on the internet?
>>722126584Nah it happened he just vanished. I think he switched his YouTube back to Cosmo or something too
>>722125459they unbanned him years ago after he threatend to shoot up gdq
What are the best must watch classic GDQ runs?I really liked f-zero GX
>>722126758Not sure how true it is but just from 5 minutes of research, he appears to be going as NovaWrightX on youtube, but also uploading on his NarcissaWright channel aswell? Weird.
>>722122734omg it's Jason!
>>7221187852014 was maybe the last year on Earth were life felt like that, and that year also had the last couple GDQ events worth watching (and I still tune in every year like a goddamn retard but I can barely last a run anymore).
>>722120664>Flicky: Do people ever call you a lolicon faggot on stream because you pick the girl?>Werster: Yeah, and I'm not a lolicon faggot, I just don't want to stare at a man's ass all day
>>722127071That one RE4 run with the fat lads.
>>722118056>modern gdq full of identity politics>according to you this is a plus for new gdq over old gdqkindly decapitate yourself while walking into traffic after having put a bullet into your balls
i miss prize goblin
>>722128838i want to break his pelvis with a 50 pound mallet
some old hag showed up like this at the last event
>>722123476>that one upload of this clip with the title “Werster says racist N-word at SGDQ 2013” that the channel kept updating the year to be the current year to make it look like he kept saying it yearlyDid it get taken down?
>>722117374I always considered Cosmo to be a very smart guy with lots of potential, well I was super wrong I guess, he even got a gf looking like that...
I could tolerate tranny runners, but I can't tolerate the over the top announcers screeching about muh trans rights interrupting the runs every 10 seconds. it's seriously exhausting, insane levels of brainwashing
When is the next weeklong event anyway?AGDQ in january?
i miss serg
>>722125206just buy another egg
>>722129585Isnt that shit heckin problematic to them? Not to mention charities/companies that donate to agdq want sfw shit.legit what happened
>>722124275the damage by the hormones is permanent though
Asiago cheese bagel? yummy!
>>722129962People don't know that Siglemic also trooned out after Cosmo
>>722117374Can't all the old dudes organize a new one without all the troon shit? I know they'd be afraid of being called transphobic and shit but the pushback against them is growing pretty fast lately
>>72211737410 or 15 years ago...A world before trannies......kino
>>722117374Where are the transbians?
>>722118056>first time watcher, long time donator>greetings for germany>trans roooooights>just a reminder that we are 1000 dollars away from our incentive, donate right now, the run will not end until you donate, thank youyeah, definitely better
>>722133048Lady Gaga was the most popular singer, so idk...
I would really prefer if you would be quiet.
>>722132665It'd just attract the exact opposite kind of political cancer, starting with the other side trying to stir up the anti tranny bs. There's no bypassing it, through the power of algorithms and ragebait, the system has succeeded at brainwashing everyone into becoming a political nutjob. The only escape is to not participate.
>>722135274Not wanting to celebrate mental illness and participate in delusional fantasies is not a political matter. Wanting to go back to the good ol' days is not a political matter.
>>722117374>watching speedtrooning
>>722127071https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLbv49fjBeMThis is still one of the best runs I've seen, unfortunately the runner trooned out.
>>722129585Would. Desperate mature women are hot.
>>722117374The early marathons had a better atmosphere, but Mike and the other commentators wouldn't shut the fuck up with announcements and reading donations. You'll go whole runs and not get to hear the runner finish a single sentence without some dumbass talking over everything. I think maybe 2013 or 14 was the peak. Right before it got too censored and strict, but after they shut the fuck up.
>>722135878>women
>>722135373There was an event called NASA that started as an anti GDQ thing once it fell to the troons, that event now is filled with troons and used pro-nouns and shit.That other anon is right, there's no winning and speed running attract this insane level of mental illness that attracts these people like flies on shit.
>>722135373But it will be made into one, and that screeching will attract the very people, the political types of both sides, that you're trying to keep out. It won't be made up of the a-political nerds of yesteryear that are just there to play vidya for charity, it'll be made up of political freaks that are there solely to make a statement against the other speedrunning organization who also engages in politics. The only difference? The new startup won't have any soul to look back on. It'll just been seen as the opposite wing of an ongoing culture war, regardless of the possible initial a-political intentions behind the new startup.
>>722136065>There was an event called NASA that started as an anti GDQ thing once it fell to the troons, that event now is filled with troons and used pro-nouns and shit.>there's no winning The world existed before trannies. It wasn't even that long ago, which is the crazy part. Sure there were like ladyboys in Thailand and the occasional Bailey Jay, but it wasn't the epidemic that it is now where's just a bunch of lonely, prison gay, undesirable, overly medicated men deluding themselves into thinking that if they can't get the girl, they'll become the girl.

>>722136265It took time to get to the point where the world went insane, it will take just as long to bring it back sadly.I blame the internet personally, easier to isolate and make fun of freaks without it.
>>722136663I do also blame the internet partially, but I think there is a more significant catalyst that served as the actual turning point in 2015. Everyone's ridiculous hyperboles against it was actually right.
>>722117374Spike Vegeta at the back disappointed by the lack of trannies.
>>722127071Jak & Daxter by Bonesaw was fucking peak
>>722136973That run was the dividing point. It had clearly started going downhill before that, but that run was the last good run.
>>722136663>>722136884This, but more specifically, the algorithms and positive reinforcement you get on social media has proven to be detrimental for people's minds, not to mention being able to carry internet around everywhere you go through their smart phones.As an additional blame, I believe SSRIs are part of the problem, essentially sucking the soul out of people and turning them into zombies.
>>722136663>I blame the internet personallyThis is absolutely the reason. Pretty much every person I know IRL who has trouble with shit turns first to the internet for a solution, and they inevitably get retarded advice. I mean, go look at >>>/adv/ if you want to see some on here yourself. Some threads will get a comment that is genuinely helpful, but most are trolling or just retarded shit that lonely broken people leave while waiting for their "tfw no GF" thread to get replies. And that's on a site like this where shit isn't curated by some algorithm intentionally leading people to ragebait, conspiracies, and lying advertisements for the purpose of boosting engagement so people scroll forever to stare at ads.This effect on political radicalization, conspiracy-belief, and mental illness has been documented across literally the entire globe. It's not even secret. Tons of people in the tech sector have gone on record acknowledging that this has been happening, but there's nothing to be done. Governments are scared of going up against big tech's money, they're terrified of people getting mad at them for censorship by trying any regulation at all, and we have real instances from even THIS YEAR of violence and government leaders having to resign over this type of thing (Nepal).Someday I hope people figure it out, and we learn how to use the internet in a healthy way for society. But we ain't there and I don't think we will get there soon. I think things are going to have to get a lot worse for western nations before anyone will give enough of a fuck that someone does something. Until then, the internet is going to continue being the terrible advice-giver it is for a lot of people who end up ruining their lives.
>>722135752>unfortunately the runner trooned out.How does a fat autistic british guy troon out? What is his name now?

>>722137380>I believe SSRIs are part of the problem, essentially sucking the soul out of people and turning them into zombies.Yeah, that's definitely another piece of the puzzle. After I moved out, at some point my sister started taking multiple prescription medications. I had no idea. My dad told me years later when we were donating blood together, he mentioned it in passing. And I was just like "...wait, she's on how many medications? For how long?"I keep my birthday cards, and you can see the change happen in them. She used to draw things or write cute messages, but now it's basically just nothing. She's a real sourpuss now too. Basically has Twitter personality, which makes me wonder, do medications cause Twitter personality? Cuz for like 20+ years she was never like that but she is now, and I wasn't around to see it happen.

>>722135752>>722137620Funnily enough, all 3 of the people sitting on the couch here are now trans. There's even a picture of it somewhere, but I cannot find it.
>>722139481I found them now:
>>722139606Jesus
>>722122734Bull fucking shit. Pre 2014 was great
Wasn't there a zelda run team race thing were one of the dudes started crying on camera?
>>722117374He won though.Almost everyone else in that pic lost.
>>722140148He is also running blindfolded again.Guy really needs a girlfriend to trim his beard.
>>722139481naegleria on the right on the couch did not transition and probably still just plays fzero. we do this everytime. not refuting the other two.
My biggest issue with modern marathons is everyone is clearly bored of doing a vanilla run of the game they've dedicated their life to so they end up with gimmicks or bingo and it's garbage to watch.

>>722140642I like the bingo runs. There was a shadow of the erdtree one last year that was good.

>>722136973truly the magnum opus of GDQwooow
>>722139606That isn't Naegleria and I believe Wanda detransitioned or something
>>722117374speed running has never been good
Looking back, I find it hard to believe I actually enjoyed watching and doing speedrunning for a few years. Nowadays not only am I repulsed by the community that's full of leftist freaks, but I also find the speedrunning process an insufferable waste of time that doesn't even culminate in any meaningful feeling of satisfaction or closure.
>>722150513Goose...
>>722150729He still speedruns from time to time. But I think he doesn't take it seriously anymore.
GDQ is only as good as its runners, and there have been some pretty good runs through the year. The being said, ESA mogs it entirely. The GTA runs are always a blast.
