Now that the dust has settled, what did /v/ think of AGDQ 2026?
Looks like men wearing makeup
It was terrible.
Was probably my least favorite in memory but I'm still looking forward to SGDQ
let it go man, enjoy the catalog
>>730610548It really needs to end.
Any good runs during the bonus stream?
>>730610548I haven't watched that shit in a decade since I'm not a tranny.
>>730610548What the fuck is wrong with these attention whores? I keep forgetting that it's ostensibly about raising money for cancer research instead of raising money for trannies to stop 41%ing themselves.
>>730610548TROOOOOOOOOOn
mig?
I was pretty down on it until the amazing Pokemon Emerald run by Adef at the end.
>>730611319No more migs, Will.
Where's the chart?
GDQ froze comments on the Pokemon Emerald VOD cuz they were getting hate lol
i don't even miss the threads this time
>>730611532Too much shitposting and samefagging, more than usual.
>>730611481does anyone have the graphs for viewership / donation numbers vs. previous marathons?
>>730611596>Too much shitposting
>>730611596not just that but there wasn't even a single run worth commenting, no oc's or anything, this was probably the biggest fart in the wind gdq of all time
>>730611612Thanks anon
>>730610548The adef Pokémon Emerald run was the GOAT.
Usually runs have one or two runs worth going back to check a vod for, for better or worse, but are there any this year? Maybe the dark souls run? I can't see myself going back and watching anything really. There wasn't even any trainwreck cringe kino, it was all just bad
What runs were worth watching
>>730611612so many truly dogshit runs with positive scores because of all the SSS spam and samefagging. usually because>the le shitposting was funny cringe kino xdeven though the run was terriblepic rel for the money raised. it's slightly behind because they hit 2.4 mill I think? but even so the whole event did poor in terms of money raised and terrible for viewer numbers.redditors are in hardcore damage control. muh recession, muh covid, muh post-covid, muh economy, muh war in ukraine/gaza/sudan/agartha, muh work from home, muh anything but admitting GDQ is losing audience>>730611484lol that's fuckin sad. i checked because i left a comment but they have it on pre-moderation filter or whatever it's called. they KNOW it was a terrible way to end the event
Anyone got the final chart sorted by rating? >>730611612 but my rating.
>>730610548>a bunch of GigaChad’s enter GDQ>They start to Mog all the onions beta and gross troons, >they are speed running doom eternal on max difficulty, and the crowd and chat are super hyped>chat starts Starts making thirsty donations>the Runner sees a trans flag that was left behind by the previous runner while waiting for a cut scene to finish he picks up the flag and says>”I don’t know what country this flag is from but all of the girls from there are super cute”
>>730611768>no oc's or anythingwhy lie?There was an anon drawing cards of some of the runners
even with youtube streaming, this is the lowest viewership AGDQ has ever had. PERIODT. >muh covid>muh recession>i was at church>it was too coldthey will never admit that it's just a shit event, with shit runners and shit games
>>730611984so it beat 2019 numbers? still not good, inflation calculator says $2,400,000 in 2019 should be equivalent to $3,042,720 in 2026. especially looking at 2020 and 2022 with inflation in mind 2026 is basically close to 50%.
>>730612176uhhh i thought those were just reposts
>>730611768>no oc'splenty of stuff and commenting
>>730611990yep, i have that one too
most of it was unwatchable because of the weird constant stream of trans rights and inside porn jokes that were being made about characters being trans or lesbians. Like a handful of runs managed to avoid that but they were usually late nighter stuff.
>>730612334speaking of, any updates on the brawl runner? did he make it home safely?
Cheated Games done at a Moderate pace
>>730612259no no no inflation doesn't count!!!! stop that immediately!!!!! inflation has increased the cost of living people don't have money to donate even thought 1/3 of the viewership still raised 2.4million don't you understand inflation is only included when it fits my narrativealso here are views compared to all events. only one sgdq marathon had lower viewers. i won't both screenshotting dono comparisons because SGDQ is always lower.helping out MSF an international charity? no thanks. I'd rather donate my money to an american cancer leaflet charity :)>>730612413he had a panic attack after sitting in the chair that the FFTactics runner sharted in. they say it was such a bad attack he died on the spot
the hosts make it unwatchable to be honest
>>730611984>legend on the curveswho's the retard that did this?
>>730612334Is the pokemon emerald run the worst gdq speedrun of all time?
>>730612413F.
>>730612334How are such charts made? Is there one guy spending hours in paint making those? They look too professional for Excel.
>>730612645https://gdq.alligatr.co.uk/comp/gdq
>>730612690He uses a python script. Maybe someone will post the github link to it.
>>730610548i dont watch any of them let alone AGP 2026
>>730612690>>730612783https://git.ecker.tech/ecker/vee-speedrun-ratings/src/branch/master/archive
>>730612686>speedrunit was a cheated hacked rom emulator let's play
Why are they like this?
>>730612904You know what I mean, was it the worst single run in gdq history or are there worse
>>730612408I really miss when I could tune in at 3 am and catch some kinda awkward guy autistically explaining the tech in some obscure game, and it would be a nice relaxing experience with no weird trans shit.
Best parts of the show? Besides the fire alarm.
>>730613012dude...saying shit like that could make one of their kind actually kill themselves..the psychic damage alone they suffer when they see their own reflections is already too much.
>>730610548Why are those monstrous brutes crossdressed?
I just enjoy spending time with better/v/.Now that it's over I have to wait SGDQ to see you guys again...
>>730610712is he still speedrunning smw or whatever?
>>730613083personally I think it was the worst for multiple reasons>GDQ nepo run>over estimate>cheating 100% of the time>finale of the even instead of running during the graveyard>not a speedrun
>>730613102>the psychic damage alone
I'm still trying to process what the fuck they were hoping to achieve with that Pokemon run at the end. There's no way anyone thought it was a good idea, but they agreed to do it anyway to prevent adef from having an autistic meltdown.
>>730611868>>730611359>>730611484i'm getting conflicting info herewas it actually good or "so bad it's good"?
Looks the same as ever agdq since discord became popular
>>730610548there weren't enough hot girls this year
What the FUCK happened on the Emerald run?(didn't watch)
I skimmed >>730585865 When did the retarded meme about there being no OC this event start?
>>730613567>since discord became popularwhich year?
>>730613613this, Imagine if they actually got passabletroons to come to the event to mog all the pooners and hons, guarantee you they’ll start drama just because they’re jealous.
>>7306136132026 will be her year
>>730613750Like this guy say >>730613352 it was a fucking shit show as the finale of the event
>>730613613Looks like a troon
>>730613750The guy commissioned a rom hack with a bunch of custom items, 100% catch rate, a custom move that kills everything named "safety blast", and cheated a new pokemon in after every boss, decided by a bid war.And he still choked like fuck despite all this cheating and went 2 hours over estimate.
>>730613890I wonder what make some look good and others look like shit
>>730610548There's a HRT epidemic
>>730614012androgynous features and makeup skills
if I were CEO of GDQ I would make a mandatory attractiveness test for all trannies who apply. You only get in if you look like this >>730613890>>730613613
>>730613750>get people to donate to choose mons to make it a challenge>actually a romhack>gives mach bike from start>first main is magikarp>instantly gives it an equivalent of tera blast (70BP, 100% acc, always STAB, uses whichever is higher out of atk/sp atk)>X items give +2 instead of +1>gives self eviolite>has an item to instantly propel mon to level of next gym leader>no aqua/magma fights
>>730610548Suicide Squad vs. Dick Tracy
>>730613965Prime example of enshitification, I guess.Bring back Werster
>>730612334Damn, what the FUCK happened with Mindwave? It's just a demo, so a 10 minute run shouldn't have been that bad, right?
>>730611612>Fire alarm Huh?
>>7306138542016
>>730611612>28 overestimate>18 trannyWhat the fuck happened
>>730614228Someone pulled the firearmThe venue evacuated
>>730614114Not to mention it went horribly over estimate when the timer was PAUSING WHENEVER HE RESET OR WAS FUCKING WITH THE EMULATOR. That plus the fire alarm alone added 45 minutes to an hour to that shitshow.They could have done a normal any% Emerald run and even with the fire alarm it would have gone by quicker.
>>730611612tell me about fire alarm why is it so goated? then what happened with this bulbasaur kwabbening of kevin nash in that wet hot summer of january 2026? I missed literally everything.
>>730613613that's just a regular homosexual twink fag
>>730610548dogshit, probablyI was only there for specific runs and even those didn't escape the "le trans rights" donation message bullshit
>>730613298He's doing politics
>>730613442It was horrible
You know it was bad when the most memorable thing about the event was the question whether the FF Tactics guy really shit his pants or not
>>730612413Dw He's good
>>730610619yeah...looks like...
is chibi still banned?
>>730615347qrd?
>>730612686>>730613083statistically, yes it was the worst run
>>730615192>1 likelmaoing @ ur life
Honestly what really solidified Pokemon Emerald as the worst run was three things for me >They held zero indication that it would be played with cheats and mods. All the schedule said was "Choose my main".>That it was the final game instead of put somewhere in the graveyard shift or on the 3rd or 4th night where it could easily have been ignored >That it took FIVE HOURS to completeIt really did deserve that K rating. I'm okay with a speedrun trying to be a shitpost or funny, but it was a complete mockery of what the event was even about.It was basically a five hour ad for adef's shitty fucking YouTube channel
>>730613965I hope at least someone had the balls to tell him to stop making his chikepu use cheat tackle because real men don't do that
>>730613012>anon doing his own speedrun of the twitch chat
>>730612231the userbase has just grown up or grown out of watching GDQ. I'd literally cut my losses and at this point and call it, but likely they're too "in the soup" and have to continue playing until they go bust or someone buys them outright.They probably get more than enough with their twitch channel regular stuff. The marathon shit is likely 501c3 laundering done quick
>>730615503>that thumbnailLike a cherry on top of a cake made entirely out of shit.
>>730615503sounds like trainwreck cringekino
>>730615535He kept going "I'm going to try not using Safety Blast, we should be fine." then teaching his mon Safety Blast and spamming it the second he met any amount of resistance.
>>730613432Nepotism at its finest>You're not allowed to curse or scream into the mic>Adef immediately does both, screaming as loud as he fucking can and cursing when the run continued after the fire alarm>nobody said a single thing and everyone clappedThe absolute worst was the fucking speech he gave about "IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH OUR POLITICAL VIEWS THEN YOU NEED TO GET EDUCATED!!!!!"
>>730615503I opened this video and skipped to a completely random time and the first thing I heard was, "Trans rights, baby!!"
was it really that bad? I was surprised generally they got away with so much dude gay sex lmao yaoi yuri spam. the trans rights representation is one thing but this felt clearly over the line
>>730614606Saved us from some utterly terrible non-speedruns
>every time he went to change Pokemon they stopped the fucking timerUnbelievable. Adef's Pokemon run is going to be the prime example of what's wrong with GDQ for the next 5 years minimum. There won't be another run like it.
>>730615503What really irritates me in recent years is that GDQ has basically completely erased speedrunning culture. Remember "save the frames"? Remember when runners would act irritated (sometimes jokingly other times seriously) at having to take suboptimal routes due to dono incentives? This marathon I watched a runner sit around for 10 seconds as the announcer did a big speech about which dono incentive won. No one cares about speedrunning anymore. It's just to advertise themselves. No one in the audience even seems to care about speedrunning. None of them can recognize when a trick is hard, they just cheer when they're told to cheer.
the RBR run is the first GDQ anything i've watched in a few yearsrally is cool
>>730611612>That entire godless final night of nothing but shit after Mario 64>The fire alarm is the ONLY purple run in the entire event This was the worst GDQ without a doubt
Dumb question as an European: Why do they always host these GDQ's in red states (but blue or purple cities, I guess?). Seems like a very weird fit compared to something like California. Is it just costs?
>>730615503>only 6 commentsuh-huh
>>730615874All the original autistic basedboys have been pushed out or adapted to become parodies of better times.
>>730615503it'd have been OK as a let's playthe modifications required to make the run remotely speedrun-friendly made it complete dogshit
>>730616003If I had to guess because it's cheaperCalifornia and NY hotels are too expensive for this stuff
>>730616003It's all costs. A hotel in Pittsburgh in the dead of winter is a hell of a lot cheaper than one in California.
>>730615710tbf I think a run like that could be fun if you have someone like smallant doing it.Has no place as the finale of a speedrun marathon though
>>730615503Hey man, get educated
>>730615874It's crazy cause this had the perfect opportunity to be a good Pokemon run>adef only had Magikarp as his starter>therefore he has to use math and rng, his whole fucking gimmick, to optimize the best route until he can find another Pokemon to use>instead he fights one enemy, dies, and goes "OKAY WELP TIME TO CHEAT HAHAHA TRANS RIGHTS!"
>>730615873>There won't be another run like it.anon, GDQ is notorious for bad decisions. They will see that this run generated more donations than any other run and double-down. GDQ can not "see the bigger picture". Runs like this are poison, it'll destroy GDQ from the inside as it just becomes people doing more and more let's plays instead of real speedruns. They will chase the higher donations without facing the reality that the event is getting less and less viewership.
>>730615790watching it now this is a thumbnail btw
>>730615790more like gaydes 2
>>730615790>>730616287I caught some of it and it didn't seem that bad but tbf I'm completely numb to the tranny shit, my mind just automatically blocks it out during these events
>>730616252totally agreed, i thought it seemed like a fun idea. i was skeptical of other anons saying it was a bad finale. imagine my surprise when i tuned in mid-run to find that he was just cheating
I don't watch troon slop
>doesn't sleep 4 days before run>hmmmmmmmm i wonder why i am so tired>sleeps for 4 hours, has 14 hours until run>still doesn't sleep more>lies about panic attacks to not run and sleep more>ruins schedule for others, fucking up timings for multiple people>runner that takes over for him makes fun of him on twitter and her entire run>vagueposts a day or two later and makes it about him again>event finishes>hmmmmm thats unfortunate that was my one chancethey need to give IQ tests to people before they run, because this stupid faggot wouldn't have passed and it could have all been avoided
https://youtu.be/aHzogRyAij0We didn't know how good we used to have it
>>730616454the craziest thing is the guy could have just popped a melatonin gummy at any point and been asleep
>>730610548
uh oh nobody better tell the GDQ viewers
>>730616252It'd be impossible to finish the run in a reasonable amount of time without Safety Blast, given that the audience will usually try to brick himThat's also why it's an awful thing to speedrun
>>730612231At this point just toss all pretext out the window and make it about trannies, because at this point the cancer charities are secondary.
>>730616505melatonin is a scam
>>730616287>behemoth steveI can definitely see why that's his name.
>>730616592then just make it "how many badges can I get in this time limit"
APOLOGIZE
>>730616287appropriate name
>>730615964Did you like the trans rights custom decal on the car?
>>730616727Sorry for saying you're the worst runner in these events, Keizaron.Turns out there's two of you.
>>730616287he could just be an 80s hair rock larper
>>730612231Yeah, because people are fucking tired of hearing TRAINS ROIIIGHTTTSSSSSAnd most runs are some obsecure game no one has fucking heard of, or some category of arbitrary rules. Also most prime time games ran are fucking abysmal and several hours long.They refuse to admit their formula and methodology for scheduling is fucking awful and not working.
>>730610993lol you stupid subhuman retard.You've had 14? years to actually read a god damn single post in the threads and learn what pcf is actually about.THEY SPEND THE MONEY ON ADVERTISEMENTS TELLING PEOPLE TO GET SCREENED FOR CANCER. The money doesn't go to research, it goes to the administration, a percentage goes to agdq as profits, Each member of the pcf admin makes 6 figures a year. They only make posters and ads to ask for more donations (and to tell people to get checked for cancer). That's all that happens. That's all they fucking do. Cancer rates are up something like 75% compared to 20 years ago. You think pcf gives a fuck? dumbest nigger in the thread award. Trannies taking it over is more about cancer than pcf ever was.
I remembered that Badger guy who ran Terraria earlier. Did a search for him and i guess he went off the deep end the other way? left the trans rights shit but went full "THE GOVERNMENT ARE IN MY WALLS"
>>730610548Is this that tranny thing? Never watched it but I know it's a tranny thing because of the screenshots I've seen
>>730616507How is this real?>inb4 it's not funny, because you see, the actual character named like that survivedAs if this shit doesn't have layers to it.
I'm surprised nobody is mentioning the Ditto donation? Remember?>Ditto looks like he'd taste just like estrogen!
>>730616783I had no opinion about any of the decals. It's GDQ, so at this point it's part and parcel.
>>730611936Yeah nothing was good enough to watch after the fact, the highly rated runs are B tier runs if you were to judge them on their own
>>730610548Was there a tranny faggot playing some obscure game or category that has no other competition?
>>730615790It's a conversation children don't need to hear, but the faction that is the GDQ staff think children need to hear at the age of 3 because they think children can consent to sex.
>>730616727I'm sorry I pretended to be ghost from Death Note triggering psychosis in your gf. looking back that was not cool
>>730616973
>>730616878https://preventcancer.org/research/?????
>>730616878>reads half of what PCF does and refuses to acknowledge that they give a fuckload of money to other research foundations researching to stop cancer
Post kungfufruitcup webms pls
They should've ended on the Mario 64 relay, at least that had some kino in it
>>730617080>trans rights transition screenheh
he won
the finale was genuinely the worst one yet. i almost couldn't believe it
>>730617173lazy eye?
>>730616260>GDQ can not "see the bigger picture".They can, they just get the wrong idea from it. That's why there was a brief lapse in quality around 2024 after trannies got largely relegated to side events, but it turned out it's not enough to get the audience back, so they doubled down on screaming "trans rights" since last SGDQ. They see the decline, they just have no idea how to deal with it.
>>730617173one eye on the game the other on the splits
>>730617223it's okay when attractive people have it
>>730616560they're aware and already chewed PCF outhttps://bsky.app/profile/preventcancer.org/post/3mbppqo5s322v
>>730616592He could have shown some self control. The mons he was getting afterwards had actual movesets, work around them instead of instantly defaulting to Safety Blast. He should have only been able to use it twice, he already had super buffed x-items.
>>730617117wow, you're right anon this is some good stuff
>>730617080Why does it feel like they doubled down on this kind of shit this GDQ after seeing how much the audience dropped?
>>730611319very cute looking tranny
>>730617347luddites lost
>>730614114but I dont get it, for what purpose? was the "cheating" intended?
>>730617387>>730617117>>730617138>The Prevent Cancer Foundation's annual revenue is reported to be $2.2 million, with its peak revenue reaching $2.2 million in 2024. This figure reflects the organization's financial performance as of the most recent data available from July 2023. The foundation funds research and early detection initiatives through grants and fellowships, with two-year grants totaling $100,000 ($50,000 per year) awarded to eligible projects.woah, nothing shady going on here. They made less money in 2023 than was donated to them via agdq.
>>730614961should have never turned his back on destinyhe could've been the new hasan
>>730617387are you trying to get me upset at cancer screening now?are you fucking retarded? the only two good things about GDQ is the speedrunning and the charity aspect, you are seriously fucking new if you're crying about either of those thingswhy is it always newfags that do the "hur hur you must be new here CHUD" shit
>>730617546wtf? can someone explain how that's possible
>>730615874You mean "kill the animals"
>>730615753>nepotismhow is it nepotism?
>>730617445Because they don't want to believe that this has anything to do with why viewership dropped, and if viewership goes back up when they double down that means they were not contributing to their own demise with this shit.
>>730617347>>730616560LMFAO dumbfuck luddite shits, who is going to heal you if not the AI? Who are you going to ask?
>>730617607>the only two good things about GDQ is the speedrunning and the charity aspect, you are seriously fucking new if you're crying about either of those things
>>730617271Several years of hardwork, letting chat live again, clearing their blacklist, programming chat bots to not suck, and stop focusing on making money and screaming at chat to give them fucking money.They alienated the majority of the common viewer base, with this troony shit. The problem is, they caught lightning in a bottle with their explosive popularity. They didn't know how to manage it, which is why they flourished for a while. When they got the tools for management, it became 1984 and everyone realized it sucked and left. They killed their own brand and they cannot recover until they correct course and even then it's gonna take like a decade or two, to see some noticeable recovery since they only hold these events twice a year.
>>730617546thats an ai summary my god i am going to fucking laugh my cock clean off>>730617623it isnt and he's a fucking retard who can't read statements so asked some chatbot to do it which got it wrong hahahahahah
>>730617717>i will post le ebic avgn gif without a response to prove i am not btfoyeah, i would probably kill myself if i were you at this point
>>730615347Probably. Caveman's been staff for a good while.
>>730610548it was amazing. there's the gdq hotfix going on right now
>>730617713It's a glorified search engine who ball washes you with compliments and toxic positive speak.I expect to ask a fucking doctor and someone whose competent, not an """living""" search engine whose going to hallucinate every other question. I can just go on reddit and get the same lived experience, except instead of hallucinations, it's some overconfident retard who says shit that's clearly fucking wrong, like adef during his science segment, complete with mods who banned people who said he was wrong and his logic wasn't accurate.
>>730615874>What really irritates me in recent years is that GDQ has basically completely erased speedrunning culture.GDQ used to be a speedrunning event that happened to raise money for charity. As it grew and became a larger machine, the priorities swapped, and it is now a charity event that happens to show speedruns sometimes. The erasure in speedrun culture is not an accident. Their goal, above all, is to draw in viewers to raise money for charity. This means that speedrunning has become less of a focus. In the late 2010s and early 2020s, they captured a large audience due to the wave of interest in speedrunning and the novelty of the event. This meant that the two identities could coexist happily. However, that wave has largely dissipated. Now they are trying more and more new things to reel audiences back in and stop the yearly decline in engagement. For a while they were able to keep up appearances thanks to sponsors donating large sums of money to pump up the event's total, but now, even with that, the donation total has started shrinking. Something needs to change, and it seems that their approach to try and right the ship is to dilute the speedrunning with more novelty content like 70 people playing Mario 64 or a dog playing Gyromite or whatever. Keeping the content authentic to speedrunning culture is not going to keep the charity money machine going
>>730616592Okay then don't bring it to a speedrunning convention.>Watch me build a 100m skyscraper out of sand>wtf that sounds impossible, cool>Actually, that'd be really hard so I'll just concrete>But don't worry, there's some sand in the concrete so it's still a sand castleThe run was just shit on top of being not a real run. I can envision was to make that a real category, but using a gameshark to inject win buttons make it beyond pointless.
>>730617546>When you take your info from AI and think it's fucking correct.Tip top kek
>>730617347ANTI-AIBROS???????? WERE WE THE TRANNY SIDE ALL THIS TIME?????
>>730617550>>>730616783He seems so mad now a days whats up with that?
>>730610548Easily the worst GDQ. ESA and ASM have completely supplanted it in my mind.
>>730616875It's basically a pride parade at this point, honestly. That's why people aren't watching it.
>>730616003Only counting the ones where they weren't just at some dude's house:>Minnesota x10 (6x Minneapolis, 3x Bloomington, 1x Saint Paul)>Herndon, Virginia x5>Maryland x2 (Rockville, Chevy Chase)>Orlando, Florida>Pittsburgh Pennsylvania>Atlanta, Georgia>Coloradothere's probably a lot less demand for their meeting space than in big markets. plus the rooms will be a lot cheaper for staff and attendees
>>730617445It's how leftists operateLike with the election two years ago. They didn't go "Okay, why did we lose? Was it because we were too aggressive with our ideals or we pushed some people away?" No instead they went "Young people didn't vote for us? WELL FUCK THEM! TRANS RIGHTS!"
>>730618246>I expect to ask a fucking doctor and someone whose competentWhere does this magical creature exist? They used to google symptoms before ChatGPT.
>>730618372We share the same dislike, but it's rooted in two very separate intentions.They just screech about muh water, and capitalism and something about ethics because artists now can't make money being artists.Most reasonable anti-ai bros just realize it's a waste of resources to make mediocre art and deep fakes, along with giving bad info.

>>730617639adef has been part of the GDQ staff for a long time AND is butt buddies with SpikeVegeta, one of the big guys at GDQNo other runner would've been allowed this many "well it's okay, you can do that and that and that and that"adef can bring a nonspeedrun, curse, shout, and cheat, and people clap for him? It's nepo at its finest
>>730613442It's so bad it's bad
>>730618537The difference is the knowledge and wisdom to not tell someone who has a little blood in phlem that they have cancer and to actually research what they have.ChatGPT is a literal retard with google who spoonfeeds you the first 3 articles paraphrased in a way that a 9th grader paraphrases cliff notes on a book they didn't read.
>>730618678It's probably not even looking at shit like pubmed but wikihow and webmd
What was wrong with the Nightreign run?
>>730618592Dude, they clapped for a guy who shit himself live on stage. That crowd will literally clap for a woman giving birth to a stillborn on stage and yell HOOOYYYPPPEEE.It's not a good measure of nepo.
>>730618847>they clapped for a guy who shit himself live on stageLiterally or figuratively
>>730614719don't pretend you wouldn't
>>730618949Literally. Absolutely literally.
>>730618992What fucking run was this?
>>730619039FFT ivalice, that's why on the chart, it's called ivalice sharticles and the color is brown. He shat himself on stage and had to walk off to clean up the mess, came back and the crowd is clapping for him as he resumes the run.
>>730618768It was a 3-player let's play. The entire unique aspect of a Souls speedrun is seeing a single autist minmaxing his way through the bosses as fast as possible.
>>730619039Final Fantasy Tactics
Modding a trans shirt into Jet Set Radio instead of a GDQ shirt was when I clocked out. That small example is a perfect display of what GDQ is now. They need to put the games or charity first, even if the charity is bullshit, and stop trying to be comedians or virtue signalers. They're terrible at both of those and it's not why anyone watches.
>>730618949>>730618992NOT YET!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbb1OQohuMQ
>>730619121He did not shit himself on stage. He just had to go to the bathroom.
>>730614606The fire alarm happened on the Emerald run whose rating is below the fire alarm
>>730619121There was no way he shat himself. He came back too soon and considering they were using a communal chair, which was white by the way, he clearly just had to piss. People just want to force the shart story for the lols
>>730618768It's just 3 guys doing a normal run of nightreign, and not particularly skillfully. At least there wasn't anything notably annoying about it.
>>730619310>>730619272That stand and walk he had going off the stage, that was the "I just sharted myself, and I feel the wetness in my cheeks. I hope it didn't get to my underwear" of shitting himself.You don't need to dose the chair in a deluge of diarrhea to shit yourself.
>>730618847>they clapped for a guy who shit himself live on stageclip?Google only finds 4chan posts taking about that
>>730619491I'm 37 years old and I have absolutely shat myself. I know how much time you need to clean yourself up. My money is easily on1. He had to pee and considered holding it, realized how much time was left and pulled the triggeror2. Felt the rumble in the jungle and knew better than to risk a potential wet fart.He came back too fast, bro. It wasn't shit.
>>730617153>Sweetpeebs>she/her>all people in the clip have beardsWHICH ONE IS THE GIRL

>>730619645>i'm a bit of an expert on shitting myself
>>730619678orange box is the announcer
>>730619645>It takes you more than 3 mins to clean your shitty cheeks and take a diarrhea dumpMaybe don't sit on your phone for 5 mins doom scrolling, it doesn't take that long to take a shit.

>>730619743>C for Couch>H for HannouncerI believe you
>>730619726because they get too caught up in their lolcow shit that they feel they need to make things up to seem like they're part of the groupwhen they could just point and laugh at this retarded shit that already happens at GDQ, its peak bully victim behaviour lmfaooo
>>730610548Can someone explain this to someone who doesn't follow the speedrun scene and these donations streams? Is there like a joke tradition to do it while in drag or something?
>>730619739Never been an alchie I see
>>730616507I refuse to believe this didn't happen purposefully
>>730614961>everyone in the political grift these days
>>730619645>2. Felt the rumble in the jungle and knew better than to risk a potential wet fart.antidepressant diarrhea has taught me that as soon as I feel the rumble I need to book it to a toilet or else
>>730615503My biggest problem is that he cheats in so many fucking things to give himself an advantage, yet was doing so shit that someone from the crowd yelled at him to get the Quick Claw when he was stuck at Wattson with a Shedinja.So your telling me that the pokemon guy didn't think of doing this ahead, but hacked for himself a bike from the beginning (while still hitting the walls all the damn time), made it so that the buff useable items buffs more, have instant leveling items AND a cheat move??? Motherfucker you are a POKEMON YOUTUBER WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU DO ANY RESEARCH FOR YOUR RUN IN CASE THINGS GOES SOUTH?!?
>>730619794I am, never shat myself.
>>730619645>He came back too fast, bro. It wasn't shit.He's a speedrunner. He went shitting any% and used the toilet paper skip and handwashing skip.
>>730619860He's a scientist, he already did his research 10 years ago. He doesn't need to learn and grow to get better. He already knows it.
>>730611612>everyone's childhood classics are in the (trannycore) players list
>>730619792Yes, its a funny tradition. Some of those pranksters even chopped off their own dicks, they sure pranked us. I remember one year where one of those jokesters even had to pause a run because they forgot to dilate. I wonder what kind of hilarious hijinks those dudes will do next year.
>>730613352sounds like cringekino. anyone have a link?
>>730619860What killed me is when the Stephen fight started and he said "I haven't done this fight in awhile"You had an entire week to practice this run once or twice in your room and you just refused....
>>730611612there were *two* fire alarm pulls?
>>730619792Those people are known as "transsexuals", and they dress that way not as a joke but with the intent of identifying as women. Many have adopted speedrunning and its related events in recent years, for reasons are often debated on /v/.
Oh, KF featured a post about GDQ for some reason, that explains some things
is anyone even watching the bonus streams? They just did the Zelda CDI game (Not faces or wand)
>>730612334>look at dark souls run>dude wearing armornice start already
>>730620275A prior one happened at a different event.
>>730619792>in draganonyou have no idea how fucked the west has become
>>730615503I think adef might actually be my second most hated GDQ staffer in history, even his annual "look at me I'm playing CoD during an interview segment" thing that made him seem like he might actually be a human being the first time has become annoying attention seeking bullcrap.

>>730620825wow, this is deeply frustrating. the fact that they took peoples money for this then probably banned them from chat when they complained is hilarious.
>>730623085they were never friends

>>730623552You keep seeing people talking about marathon safety but if a run is so marathon unsafe you need to effectively remove every advertised aspect of the run to justify running it at a marathon then why even go through the effort?>Thanks for donating to watch me pound nails through my dick. So to start I'm not using my own dick, I'm using this dildo with a few nails already pre-pounded into it and instead of a hammer and nails we are going to be using a novelty foam mallet and thumbtacks.He misses the dildo with the toy mallet 15 times then chuckles and draws a circle on it with a marker where a nail was supposed to go but he swears it's only a backup and will only do it when it gets really hard to hit it. The spectacle ends with the dildo looking like the wall of a tattoo parlor and 6 hours later (1:30:00 EST.).
What did you all think of my wife, KungFuFruitCup and her ugly friend Jaidlyn's, karaoke?
>>730623843she's one of the "queen bees" of gdq. she hosts a lot of the panels and interviews and whatnot
Has a Pokémon run ever received a good grade?
>>730612686I can't think of anything worse. Even the shittiest ones before at least tried to play the actual game and didn't blatantly cheat nonstop while still being shit. I blocked the guy who ran it on youtube.
>>730611319>Claw gripinto the trash it goes
>>730624285>What did you all think of my wife, KungFuFruitCup and her ugly friend Jaidlyn's, karaoke?Link?
>>730612904The worst part is that they all acted like he was actually going to run emerald as a challenge making him look like he was pro enough to do some epic feat like beat the game with any pokemom that was chosen. Took donations for it then pulled a bait and switch and cheated in every way possible and clearly have no fucking idea what he was doing. On top of everything the charity doesn't fucking do anything and is a scam in itself. So it's not like the ends even justify the means. Just scum layered on top of scum.
>>730624362The original Pokemon ACEs where they were inserting different games into the RAM were pretty neat, but that probably predates the chart.
Too much overtime to watch this year, looks like I didn't miss much. See you at SGDQ if they don't kick the bucket beforehand
>>730624469Look at the end of the DK Bananza video on YouTubeNo I won't provide a link use Google
>>730624727Come to think of it, there's no TASbot block anymore, is there. When did that stop?
the bonus streams are the bestno money shilling just enjoying the games :D
which one of you was this
>>730624876After everyone got bored of regular TAS and it jumped the shark with weird confusingly presented ACE
Pokémon Emerald by adef in 3:12:18 - Awesome Games Done Quick 2026
>>730625040Wasn't it like a 2.5hr estimate?
>>730610548I don't watch trannyfest anymore and neither should you. It's become like the Komen foundation. Usless self funding organization.
>>730615790Why does this get down voted like they actually think that's appropriate for children to hear?
>>730624876I think all the TAS people are blacklisted or something. I don't know. They stopped showing up, they had randos show up to do the TAS shit, and they fucked it up really bad and since then they just stopped.TAS is based but it relies on people giving a shit about speedruns and the peak of the ideal of skill. TAS makes the trannies feel inferior knowing they can never speedrun like TAS, and therefore dysphoric. So now the block is cut to help accommodate people like adef so they can present runs and not feel bad when they are utter dogshit compared to a perfect machine.
irredeemable dogshitmight go to the ASM one in adelaide though whenever that is
>>730625287Goy, I...
>>730624907>agdq 2013 bonus stream>at some point mike is in the room reading some donations>there was donations that never got read out because they were just shitting on mike>he reads a bunch of them out for a laughI can see why they don't do them any more considering how many people attend, but god I will always sorely miss the bonus streams.
>>730616287>behemothsteve>probably demands you call him ma'amYou cannot make this shit up.
>>730610548You mean AutoGyno's Dilating Quick?
>>730612231wait do you mean people don't want to watch blueskyTV? No way!!
>>730625341TAS aren't real speedruns. If you need outside tools to assist then you only cheated yourself.
Why did they have to co-opt our hobby? You watch this shit and the video game is in a little corner while two trannies talk about awareness.
>Super Metroid run is awful>Check the runner>Rank 21st on the leaderboard for the categoryReally scraping the bottom of the barrel.
What's hilarious is the record for any% glitchless for pokemon emerald is 2 hours and 29 minuteseven 60th place is 3 hours and 27 min. But the fraud at gdq cheated in every imaginable way to make it easier, even removing battles and the story, and it was somehow almost 5 hours or some shit. What a pathetic fucking loser.
>emerald challenge run where chat chooses a dogshit pokemon to make it a real endurance struggle to get throughcool>*spawns in bike*>*spawns in custom move item with infinite uses*>*spawns in instant level up item*heh nothing personel kid
>>730625591TAS are real speedruns.They are speedruns that are the theoretical peak of routing and techniques used for a game if humans could achieve perfection in timing and execution.They aren't competitively valid in the leaderboards, but to pretend they aren't speedruns means you're fucking retarded because speedrunners take tech from TAS runs all the fucking time in a cope when they can't hit another peak and there's is a lot of tech people discover because of TAS.
>>730625591TAS is a real speedrun. It's about finding the absolute fastest route through a game that is theoretically possible to achieve. It is different from regular speedrunning which is "How fast can (You) finish the game", but it's no less valid and it's still very interesting in its own way.
>>730625754You know I could almost premiss the rare candies, if he didn't just cheat in the pokemon anyways, so he could cheat them at the avg level.I'd almost even argue TMs just because of coverage and it shows at least some game knowledge.It's just a shame he didn't, and he sucked.
>>730616560Well that chatbot won't work and imagine how much shit she fucked up by now trusting chatgpt
>>730622027Did proto get banned
>>730617027Yeah most of the time it was that Some guy even ran a shitty rom hack he made himself that had like 5 levels
I tuned in for 5 minutes, spent the entire time getting dono rewards shilled at me, tuned out, tuned back in 2 days later, had my ears get blasted by the grating trans-voice while I watched the runners fuck up some basic trick and start complaining about how the sand sharks are being rude today, and then remembered why I don't watch this anymore. I don't hate trannies inherently, but holy fuck, if you're going to be doing multihour commentary, there is nothing worse then a grating voice and people unable to actually fill time.
>>730624348>They even walk as a group of girls together
>>730626275made a death threat to Brett Kavanaugh also apparently has multiple personality disorder and "proto" is male while "magical girl" is female
So is ESA any better? I've never caught it live. Just a few runs here and there.
>>730626732fuck off we're full
>>730626715It's always funny when the mentally ill/women fight each other. It's always something along these lines and it's always so embarrassing.
>>730612231>it's genuinely the least watched event everThe tranny shit has gone overboard it's ridiculous. Just make the fundraising about trannies already and save us the agony, oh, but that doesn't sell as it used to anymore so they wont.
>>730626715Sounds like a ledditor>umm I only said "imagine if you killed yourself", I didn't actually tell you to kill yourself so it's not against the rules
>>730614012Those that "pass" had poor development due to malnutrition.Those that dont had more proper development and thus developed men's features.Malnutrition in most caused not by lack of food but rather lack of the right foods(animal meats and fat).
>>730617535Turns out using shitmons only can't win you the game but he still tried, but cheating in a made up attack move was so retarded one has to wonder why even have the challenge in the first place.
>>730623843>>730626275proto has been having a mental health crisis for like 8 years now
>>730625636They co-opted everyone's hobby Ours was just the easiest
>>730615790Yes, xim also died.
>>730613012
>>730626732Yeah usually
>>730610548it was ass, probably the worst to date
>>730628038And to think this normal reaction to seeing an ugly man in make up is the reason why chat is dead and the community died as a whole.
look mom I posted it again
>>730627321More like sounds like a 4channer>"I want to kill this guy....in Minecraft"
>>730628038>>730628203did they make chat sub only again?

>>730629067https://youtu.be/nLqCWvd95AY?t=1068
>>730617546Retard
watch the replay
>>730628436Based
>>730617639Adef is a staff member. If some random runner submitted a "run" with this description:>Alright, so it's Pokemon Emerald>but it's just the gyms>and chat chooses my Pokemon each gym>but I cheat in the bike, HMs, the ability to fly, a TM that teaches a 70 BP STAB move that uses my Pokemon's higher attack stat and doesn't actually exist in-game, a rare candy that automatically levels me to an arbitrary level cap, items that don't exist in Emerald, and double strength X items...they would be immediately rejected and laughed out of the figurative room. It is an obscenely stupid idea for a run, and there's a reason it failed at virtually every point possible (with Adef relying on the cheat move to bail him out because he couldn't actually beat anything).But he got a chance to not only do it, but do it as the FINALE purely because he's a staff member with what passes for media training in GDQ. It is the definition of nepotism.
>>730629954I hate how "999x Rare Candy/Infinite Rare Candy item" being included in every difficulty hack is the norm these days. It's completely lazy. People who play these games probably have more fun looking at the teambuilder screen in showdown than actually playing Pokemon, whats even the point
>>730625636>Why did they have to co-opt our speedrunning event?Fixed that for you, chief. Because outside of indie garbage that nobody gives a fuck about and the occasional AAA clusterfuck, gaming goes on as ever. Trannies have taken over your brain, and you think that they've taken over everything when they really, really haven't.
qrd on the brawl run?
>>730630176>be autist>finally get brawl into a GDQ after like 10 years of no one being able to get it in>try to "180 [your] sleep schedule" 4 days before the eventi assume this means that he was on vampire time like a true autistic NEET>end up completely failing and getting like 12 hours of sleep across those 4 days>have "multiple panic attacks" before the run>just give up>GDQ has to fill the slot with 2 other runs>brawl will never get into a marathon
>>730630176He's missing. No one has seen him at all. His hotel room was empty save for a lone copy of Macbat.
>>730616507LMAO
Here's a Brawl run by the runner, I guess he got world record in his practice leading up to GDQ.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnW8BK6uQ6U
>>730631031I'm starting to actually feel bad for this guy. I hope they give him another slot in the future but he's probably soft-blacklisted after being a no show.
>>730617868>10% goes to "research" (which is talking to ChatGPT about how to make an LLM process a fucking genome sequence)lollmao
>>730616560>>730617347>>730629306there isnt anything wrong with using an ai chatbot to be very specific at answering genetic testing questions. this is called agentic ai and it is the next step of llms. effectively bots being trained to be good at a specific task instead of hallucinating. that being said, it can just as easily be fucked up.
>>730631148Yeah. I watched some of the run, it seemed entertaining enough, I wonder why it took so long for GDQ to accept it.
>>730629954My favorite part is when he had to reset the game because there were too many cheats and it started to crashThe lack of self awareness
>>730624924>the 6head getting bigger everytime it gets postedkek
Any Patty streams this year?
>>730631148I don't.I mean GDQ might turn it into a virtue signal to give them a second chance so they can stroke their own EGO about how another org might blacklist them while they didn't.They gave the sunshine runner who failed mid run a second chance. So I'm sure it might happen.
>>730631148man fuck this guy, all he had to do was take a fucking nap before his run and just get up there and do it, he didnt even have to say anything thats why he had a couch.fucking babyback crybaby bitch tits waaah waaah i cant play this video game im sooooo sad

>>730618583Honestly, I cannot overstate how pathetic this is. There's a decent chunk of trans people at my job and none have trouble turning their cameras on for meetings or working in-person when needed.Hell. A good chunk of them don't even pass but they don't make a fuss about it. They know how to behave like adults.

>>730633701Keiz has got to be sitting at home thinking "Fuck, finally. I'm not the biggest clown and trainwreck pokemon runner of GDQ".Like adef took that title easily.
>>730633701I'm fine with GDQs ending with a long RPG, even if it is a multi-hour pokemon run in an event that already had TWO other pokemon runs.I'm not fine with some meme run bullshit that should've been slotted in way earlier in the day or the day before. There's room for meme shit but how are you going to end it like that?

>>730618279It's like if a few guys played baseball to raise money for a cancer research charity and then 10 years later instead of playing baseball they showcase a guy trying to throw a ball through a hole while shouting "SAVE THE KOALAS"
>>730634745he does you don't and you use this phrase a lot troon
>>730632167>I'm sure it might>SURE>it MIGHT
>>730634886Struck a nerve huh
>>730635018yeah it's just that you sound retarded and really mentally ill like you're projecting when you always say it to other people for no reason who aren't as timid and cucked as you are
>>730610548I didn't watch any of itHow many were there this time? Is the ratio increasing?
>>730635132>>730611612>18lmao
>>730625742Adef didn't run Pokemon Emerald, he ran a fucked up romhack based on it, so his run wouldn't have been eligible for that category
>>730631148>be an adult>cant even take responsibility for fucking SLEEPINGyeah nah
>>730632509wish more events started immediately after GDQ, seems like there's always a week lull
>>730633832I'm not, the final run should be a race between the most elite runners of an extremely popular, entertaining, and easy-to-digest game. I personally suggest SM64 but GDQ would never offer top runners any sort of incentive to come.
>>730634745if you ever get a real job dude just know that people aren't going to really like it if you keep having tummy aches

>>730635528was he shittin himself?
>>730634958If they were to do it(MIGHT), their reasoning would be the reason I'm SURE about.
>>730610548I put it in the background and never paid attention to it.
Its sad but fitting that the largest speedrun charity marathon has become a trans suicide support group.
Were there any funny runs of people just fucking around and joking?
>>730635547https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9Li3gm4JCIIt's not good
>>73063552850-year-old has to shit
>>730635878There was at one point the tranny host saying gdq was the most trans people he's ever seen in one place
>>730614174>Damn, what the FUCK happened with Mindwave?One look at the game and it's runner should tell you literally all you need to know, and if you still feel the need to ask, then get the fuck off of this board.
>>730634285That's ESA's finale. If GDQ did it, they'd get aped for copying ESA
>>730620051>autistic men like autistic manchild thingsweird
>>730635112Definitely not mad
>>730636193The game looks great wdym?
>>730636267I had no idea, oof
