Miggin with OC
Why don't smaller events like ESA make charities for like local cat shelters? everyone love cats, it makes an actual difference and they can take lots of cute cat pictures.Meanwhile the money they raise for this barely even pays for the wages for the fundraising attentionwhore thots from make a wish at esa this year.
>>733013730because cats are fucking useless animals that destroy native bird populations. them and their owners should all be spayed and neutered
>>733013685kino
>>733013685Good oc anon
>>733013730>malding catlady mad that children are getting moneyshocking to no one honestly
Why doesn't the ESA donate money to me, i need a new PC, everyone likes new PCs especially me, also it'd make a huge difference (i wouldn't have to spend money on it). meanwhile the money they raised for this can more than barely pay for ram in 2026 for me (attention whore)
>>733013685Kek the OCs in these threads are always good
>>733013872cuz ur a faget
>>733013730Fuck cats. Birds and dogs are where its at.
>>733011432Very telling that he didn't mention ESA by name even though both events are nominally for charity. Is ESA a for-profit business the way GDQ is or is it a genuine community thing that sells tickets to cover its expenses?
>>733013856cats get to live, kids still die...
Boring, watching WASD instead. Dude’s playing Celeste on bongos dressed as donkey Kong
>>733013947>childless catlady doesnt understand makeawish kids arent all terminalshocking to no one honestly
>>733013902that'd be good they could ask for DEI funds
>>733013872I’ll give you my pc you seem nice
>3 hours of nightreignWere they really this desparate for runs?
>>733014005no one cares about fags now
>on 4chan>hating catsI sometimes forget how many tourists these threads have
>>733014031i specifically want it from the ESA, thanks for the generosity tho anon
>>733013730the tiny events (BSG, UKSG, NSG) all raise money for local charities in their countries.
>>733013967>playing CelesteWouldn't watch even if you paid me
'nother two hours of thisdamn shame I won't make it to the mario farty marathon
>>733014000did a cat fuck your waifu or something?
>Later: Closing Speech + End
>>733013730You're right, anon. We have to fight the system so we can all get what will make you happy
>>733013179I hope when ESA is over Plum takes a winter soak in a sauna to relax
>>733013685good oc
>>733014127hold still while i cure your brain worms
>>733014204I think a drawanon drew just that a few days ago

Fuck miggers
>>733014316Crash racing
>>733014450This was unbelievable live
I've seen one (1) fun run today, Mario party.
>>733014552I saw DOOM
>>733014094Normally I would agree, but there was one good run this year. Think it was BSG? Not a tranny, actually really impressive gameplay. It was like seeing an unicorn in the wild, never knew a good Celeste run could exist
>>733014245fuck yeah
Getting a chippy tea lads, what do you want?

>>733010910>the uggersThe what?>>733011057Tech crew lurk the threads and play things if we request them enough, which is pretty cool.

>>733014985She's a big girl.
>>733015302for you
The choking continues
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE
People at the event look so tired rn, I hope we'll have energy for the finale
MIgged
You guys don't believe the whole "A bunch of runners vanished and runs were cancelled because of the great ESA plague" narrative that they're spinning, right? You know the truth don't you? Pic related.
>>733014913Kind of scary how cute she would be if she weren't morbidly obese.>>733014985Lucina is not that big.
>>733012526Thanks for all your drawings! See you next ESA, luck willing!
>>733015593RELEASE THE RUNNERS
>>733013730Does anyone remember North West Speedfest that we randomly watched after a GDQ and they were raising money for a local youth club?
>>733015593He's broken the ultimate taboo, and now nothing can stop his hunger for manflesh.
>>733015593HE ATE THEM?
>>733015526
>>733015757dios mio............................................................................................
>>733014927She has a certain appeal to her...
>>733014584>0 timespinner ratingsThe only place I know that game from is a GDQ run and it was the most boring looking back-track-em-up I've ever seen.
>>733014316FF9. Yes really.
>>733015757this is the most exercise this guy has done in his entire life
>>733016067for you
>>7330143161. Crash Racing Trifecta2. Tiger Woods3. Command and ConquerBasically based Hypnoshark
>>733015872Wrong image..
>>733016149basically this but i did prefer c&c, my spot 4 is doom but i'm biased
>>733015593ESA insider here. Any ESA regulars remember what tends to happen in the middle of the week at ESA? What is usual tradition? That's right, the annual ESA dinner. And when did runners start vanishing? In the middle of the week. We never told them WHATS for dinner...
This Is The Speedrun Equinvalence Of SLOP
>>733016149I basically missed everything thanks to wageslaving, looking forward to consulting the Chart and watching on youtube later.
>>733016265>>732775660>WednesdayHold on...
>>733016414still just poop from a butt
do we have a godless night at this event? besides bl4 and yakuza runs doesn't seem like we had a streak of bad runs. might leave it as it is until sgdq.
>>733016265>>733016414EpsteinSecretlyAliveIT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
>>733016414Poop brownies and it made everyon sick
>>733016561we did just look at the chart.......
>>733016561There wasn't a godless night but there wasn't a great day either. Just like, every day and night was "alright"
>>733016561basically anything after 8pm america hours has been godless for the last 4 days
>>733016414Conspiracy theorists right once again
Puppery...
>>733016561Nothing outright dismal but most nights have been mediocre, the ESA bonus just inflates it.
>>733016414Panda put the runners in the brownies for the big lad. Rebel faced off against Big Jon, devoured him and won the right to Panda's brownies which is why we haven't seen Big Jon at an event in years
Imagine calling your girlfriend "Pup" all the time. Goddamn what the hell
>>733016561all nights were godless nights so I guess you can call them normal nights?
>>733016561No godless nights but no god gaming nights either.
>>733016748>BigJon experimented with a chocolate-based bioweapon but ended up infecting himselfDo not believe the Covid stroke excuse.
>>733016806imagine the bed roleplay
>>7330164141. those are not brownies2. this makes human taste better
>>733016561God damn SGDQ 2025 is just a godless 24 hours rather than a night with the size of it
>>733016878>>733016748Is BJ still alive?
>>733016878I just remembered I need to do any kind of physical activity today
>>733016965funnily enough i'm working out while i read this thread, we gotta be strong if we want to survive rebeldragon's wrath
Not gonna lie, this ER run is pretty boring.
>>733016957somebody's gotta be submitting those runs. right?
At least they're not doing any degenerate hand holding this time
>>733017070Fair, Souls games are very boring to watch
How can anyone defend nightreign?They took elden ring, stripped off everything that made it interesting, and only left the shitty combat.Wtf?
>>733016957
>>733017070What are you talking about it's all the excitement of Elden Ring with the thrill of a randomizer
>>733017107I'm at the event, she actually has her hand on his thigh.
>>733017070I'm just waiting for the relay to start, those are always great
>>733014316probably Minish Cap and SM64
>>733014316Tiger Woods & RA2
>bring back Duke's Dear Freja>the lock on is as dogshit as it was in DS2Sasuga.
>>733017208What a shameless harlot.
>>733017208i'm at the event, just outside of the camera's POV everyone's running a train on everyone, it's literally an hedonistic orgy of plagued attendees spreading uber aids to each other, the runners are just refusing to do anything but fuck each other, i've tried to get out but the floor's too slippery or sticky
>>733017532I believe this anon without question
>>733015231
>>733016561The thing with ESA this year is that the runs were so long that there were no long strings of runs after another during the night. Sometimes a single run was the entire night. The event has mostly been a lot of 3+ hour runs to fill the schedule and so if you look at >>733014584sometimes one or two of these runs waas the entire night. Like for example. Kingdom Hearts, Mario Galaxy and Castlevania was a night. It was like 8pm to 7am. And also if you look at the chart, most runs have floated around D - B this year.
>>733017819confirmed god-ish night
>>733017715kek
Souls games are BORING AS FUCK speedruns man
>>733014584Just one final push for that sweet sweet gold, we! Can! Do! This!
>>733017949DS1 run from GDQ this year was very good
>>733017949No, but any% or glitchless are the only good categories. The routing is more interesting than the gameplay.
>Carries ESA 2026
>>733016414>You're allowed to bring homemade food>People actually eat itThat's crazy.
>>733017819that is why i'm not going to add anything to the list, average nights is not godless nights and it seems like most people agree on the event being average with all the schedule changes.be seeing you at sgdq
>>733018167And Nightreign is always a shit run because it's a time locked rando.
>>733018246Yeah it'd be unfair to actually do it as the schedule has drastically changed compared to last week, the great Malmo plague wiped everyone out. They're pretty much just winging it and scheduling as they go at this point.
>>733016561a lot of these godless nights listed have one super run in the middle of all the shit ones, what gives?
Is this sand beach reused from the Ringed City or from Radahn's boss arena?
>>733017962obsessed
>>733018353Even in darkness, one must find the light.
>>733017962>t. ranny
>>733018353When you're starved long enough, even plain white bread with no butter ends up tasting like a gourmet meal.
>>733018353those runs are overrated because they werent complete ass like the ones surrounding it, so anons voted more favorably despite them just being average
>>733018231would
>>733018543>>733018564>>733018464OK, then one must ask, are there instances of super run amongst decent/good runs? cause then that'd mean they were actually rated properly
SHOUTOUT
>>733016561Notice how the ESA godless nights stop once the cancer went and did the exodus. ESA around 2022 - 2024 really was going down a grim path.
shoutouts to the tech crew!
D E A DEAD
>>733018637Hi Chlods
>>733018353most of the times that one super run breaks the streak of shit runs, but the rest of the runs that come after are even worse. >>733018643any teal or purple run is what you are looking for, unless they were in the middle of a streak like F:NV run.
Why is she so smug?
>it never happened
>SSD dies live on streamWell THAT'S never happened before.
>>733018805she's running with her speedrunning boyfriend.
i see someone killed the run earlyanyway, anon from earlier in the week starting a perfect grade build >>732639870>>732669419 i finishedwell not really, i still need to apply stickersESA was a huge help, don't think i could finish this all silent despite it, the threads, work and video games distracting mewhat did you guys do during the marathon week?
>>733014316I only watched tomb raider 1/3 and both were boring. shit selection of games this year, too many kid stuff.
During that marathon, a run will die. That run will be mine. A javelin in my SSD. A Greek javelin. Maybe your javelin.
>>733018353While there can honestly be some Stockholm syndrome that makes those highly rated ones be appreciated more, it's also true that sometimes luck just happens and those runs are legitimately great and would be treated as such even outside of godless nights
>>733018945finished dragon's crown, then i finished BLACK for ps2
>>733016652i'd rather have everything be just ok and chill than having to be subjected to absolute trash every once in a while
ESA 2026, the year of long runs and tech issues
>>733018945you should look into panel lining (filling all the little grooves and lines with a thin tip marker), it would make it look that much more detailed
>>733018805she knows she gets dicked down by him every night and no women can steal him from her
>>733016414Imagine ever touching brownies brought by someone else after that /k/ thread
>>733018745This remains my favourite OC
>>733019069I think its the best description of GDQ vs ESA>GDQ is the event of extremes. Everything is either and S or a Z>ESA is the event of consistently alright, everything is around D - B
This has to be THE most cursed ESA event ever. Not even the event right after Lovare had her woman moment had this many issues.
>>733018945Playing more Nioh 3, wasn't sure about the changes but it finally clicked for me at the 2nd area and now I'm having fun.
hey staff, if they are holding you hostage say "rubic's cube"
>>733018954Which games/runs would you have liked to see? Just some examples?
>>733019175why'd ya have to go and molest her
>>733018945A bit this and that. Working on chinese gundam and diorama for contests in couple of months. A bit of work.
This mightve been the single most boring speedrun event in history.
>>733019175how did she get away with this
>>733019151Lovare put a witch curse on the event
>>733019204cho aniki
>>733019108proof that humour is better than a drawfag begging for attention
>>733019150>GDQ is the event of extremes. Everything is either and S or a Znot a single truly S run in the last GDQ
>>733019175I miss her...
>>733019069It's nice not having trans right shoved in my face or some annoying host constantly interrupting a run to read something.
>>733019349Yeah I guess I meant Pre-Sent as head of scheduling GDQ. Post-Sent as head of scheduling GDQ is a ZZZ fest because Sent hates speedruns and puts on "showcases"
>>733019349>fire alarm>fire alarm 2>12 bananas before bottingOk let's just lie
Why all the tech issues? Did their tech guy leave during the exodus?
