>>743154967Death
Wait? Is it me or no date for next GDQ???
The miserable last few of us with nothing better to do... Wat now???
>>743154992Tech issues first and then yeah.
>>743154992you nailed it
is someone gonna upload a compilation of funny moments somewhere please thank you
>>743154979Yeah nigga
>>743154992Tech issues which leads to stalling by donation reader. Then two fat women tried to do an ending speech but didn't really say anything interesting and started crying. The end
>>743155004it's you

>>743155027now we play vidya games
I feel like I wasted the entire day hoping for a good run that never came I'm a bit sad but oh well. Have a good summer anons. See you next mission.
>>743155056Mental illness
>>743155071>GDQ killed Lindsey GrahamNot such a bad event, after all.
>>743154993nooo
So, Jay, what did you think of SGDQ 2026?
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2816498424?t=15h26m24s
>>743155071HAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT!!!CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES! COME ON!
>learn about lindsey graham dying in a GDQ thread>still no final chart
>>743155131I was playing Persona 3 Portable but I'm getting pissed off with the Tartarus bosses and my party being useless. Stuck on floor 57 with the horse riding guy
>>743155027suffer
>>743155162video games are for faggots, mikethats right, jay
>>743155162HOW EMBARRASSING
>>743155071bro was literally bored to death by SGDQ
>>743155192is shovelclaws unironically a FtM? his last speech was weird if it's not
>>743155189Never tried the Persona series. It's in my backlog. Should I play the entire thing or start with 3 or something?
>>743155162Um I was really enjoying it at first, the showcases were really good and I thought it was fun to watch them....and then I realized it was a gaming event and not a carnival and I thought "Oh...."
>>743155223yes
>missed most of the interesting games>realized the final night was probably not gonna be very interestingback to mythbusters on plex i guess
>>743155162>the men in dresses here weren't as good as the ones back in Milwaukee
>>743155189Kek, I haven't played P3 in a long time. I gotta redo 4 first.>>743155239You don't have to start from 1, all the games are self contained with their stories. imo Persona 4 is a great starting point, it eases you into the mechanics and gameplay for the first few hours and is very memorable. It's also on Steam or you can just emulate the PS2 version. Give it a shot anon.
>>743155223Unironically yes. It's hard to find any earlier VODs, but it used to be super obvious, like just a girl wearing baggy clothes.
>>743155239It's my first time also, I have P3P, P4R, and P5R, decided to start with P3P and I'll work my way up. I don't know what to recommend but I'm enjoying it.
>>743155281
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yYS0ZZdsnA
Think I got in a decent amount of watching time this summer. Not as much cringe this event that I had hoped for. Moreover kind of boring. But anyway, I only watch it for the threads. I don't care about speedrunning.
i miss steve so much it's unreal
>>743155189>floor 57Don't bring Junpei to that fight, get a Persona that has wind resistance. You should also be around level 20.And use Mitsuru's Marin Karin to charm him. Makes the boss a breeze.
Explain the ironmouse drama to me.
>>743155345
Please Chart-kun, give us the final chart so I can put it in my chart folder and sate my autism enough to finally sleep for gods sake please
is there literally any way to leave feedback about not wanting to watch 10+ literally who indie games again next year?
>>743155416>paid to be there>she clearly didn't want to be there
>>743155427
>>743155345best moment of the entire marathon
>>743155434Especially the rhythm game indiesThey're ALL the same
>>743155408Thanks, that's a good point about Junpei. And yeah I made a Narcissus and the charm is pretty reliable, but maybe I can let Mitsuru do the charm so I can do something else with my first turn. I'm just gonna keep hacking at it.
>>743155434lmao, they literally thanked the indie devs for showing up in the final recap. They pay to be featured a run
>>743155434nope. they have made it very clear they are not interested from their response to the elden ring feedback. if you didn't enjoy any part of sgdq26, YOU are the problem and YOU hate fun.
>>743155172holy cringe
What webms or images did you save from the marathon?
>>743155441What video got deleted?
>guy that cried because of a 20 year old ed edd n eddy game
>>743155434You WILL watch the random indie games with max 5 players and you WILL enjoy it!You will NOT watch any good ol' classic games that's perfect for speedrunning because they showed them a bit too much like 10 years ago!
>>743155490>"speedrunner" playing Spurngle's Durngle with minimal tech, just running forward and maybe using a dash move if it exists>look up Spurngle's Durngle on steamcharts, has never been above 100 concurrent players>runner is the only person with a recorded run on speedrun.orgyep I'm thinking HOOOYPPP
where chart
>>743155463Np, it might be a good idea to get a Persona that buffs your team or debuffs the enemy's atk or def. That usually makes or breaks a lot of the Tartarus bosses.And one last thing, if you finish Persona 3 and like it, look into checking out The Answer. It's an epilogue to the story of P3 that's mostly focused on dungeon grinding. Story varies but it's worth it. You could also just watch it on YouTube tho.
>>743155572the even is about having FUN, chuddy. wait no it's about CHARITY, okay? so watch and donate. stop asking questions. stop having opinions. donate, consoom and wait for the next stream.
>bitch the entire marathon about trans/donations/shilling/stalling/politics>secretly love chatting with my fellow /v/ros all week>genuinely depressed when it's ogrei hate this shit
>>743155480Don't think so. It's just tranny faggot propaganda.
>>743155401Have you considered stalking
I wasn't here for it, how did the thread like my nigga carl getting trolled in mario maker? I always watch that shit to cool down before bedtime.
>>743155071>>743155181>>743155573>>743155429I fell asleep.
>>743155512
>>743155634Fag
>>743155692>7 teal runs totalgrim
>>743155434yeah your feedback is watching other marathons. since GDQ schedules their marathons to directly compete with other charities (yes, they plan their own events to basically screw over other events) the best thing you could do is watch and support those other events
>>743155576Thanks anon.
>>743155693
>>743155692>no purple
>>743155692god damn what was that Unbeatable run like?
>>743155692god bless and sweet dreams, love you man
>>743154909Top 5 ASM runs i'm looking forward to>X-Files: Resist or Serve>Metal Gear Solid 2>Castlevania 1-4 relay>Bully>Short games showcase
>>743155692fuck you for not showing up in the ASM threads last year, if you dont show up this year you're really fucking cooked
>>743155692>>743155665>Full Zkeklive trolls suck balls
>>743155692thanks
>>743155692thank you for all you do chart anon
>>743155692Thank you for your service.
>>743155692Fucking grimAny got GDQ chart from January? I wanna see how worse it got
Only good thing about this event is how the janny was absent
>>743155783Shitty rhythm game showcase with awful music that somehow went 20 minutes over estimate
>>743155783Punchy sitting in his apartment tapping his keyboard to a completely uninteresting rhythm game with basic-ass music and someone talking over it the entire time, just a big boring ad from a husk of a man
>>743155692It's crazy how many mid runs there are and how much ratingflation there is due to declining standards. A decently played run with no constant political messaging is S-SSS in 2026. That used to only be reserved for clutches, impressive tech, comebacks, and really funny runs. People were throwing S out for fucking Mother 1 and Ghosts N' Goblins. Fucking GRIM.
>>743155692And that's a wrap, at long last! Before raking all those sweet, sweet updoots, it's only fair for me to show up one last time- I wouldn't where I am withour your single-letter posts, after all.For newfriends and assorted toursits asking if I'll be back for ASM, you know I don't give a shit about aussies, I know you don't give a shit about aussies and we know Reddit doesn't give a shit about aussies, either. See you at ESA, suckers!
>>743155889yes
>>743154993Finally....
>>743155692a lot of average runs but we really had no great runsShe/it's on the final legs
>>743155692Rate SGDQ 2026
>>743155930>only purple run was the fire alarm
>>743155930was the only purple really from the fire alarm pule? holy shit i don't remember that at all. this shit is getting grimmer by the year
>>743155692At least the final run wasn't absolutely painful
>>743155692Median.>>743155805I did, and will. No one (thankfully) bothers with rating the non GDQ/ESA events. It's better that way since I can actually enjoy the event without needing to keep on top of this.
>>743155942Thank God.
>>743155692What was so bad about Environmental Sation Alpha?
>>743155987Average.
>>743155692Trannies ruined yet another event. 5 S ranks. Wow.
>>743155987>I did, and will. No one (thankfully) bothers with rating the non GDQ/ESA events. It's better that way since I can actually enjoy the event without needing to keep on top of this.fair enough brother i'll see you there
>>743156015Boxplot.
>>743155783unwatchable
>>743155783>>743155898I watched that run and when I was looking at the chart right now I completely forgot what unbeatable even was already
>>743155692>all that redThank you for the service chartanon
>>743155930Wow it was actually worse, I forgot how bad it was.
>>743156043Total.
>>743156043>>743156015>>743155987what does any of this even MEAN we're not all college grads with a diploma in advanced math bro
when did chartfagging start? i'm not mad about it but just curious because i genuinely can't remember
>>743155987>>743156015>>743156043>>743156067And before I forget, here's the outdated image for those who need it. Again, see you at ESA, suckers!
>>743155692>all that fucking coalbro this shiet really had a lot of mid, only salvageable if you re particularly interested in the games
I wush I was having sex right now
>>743156073Bro this is middle school math lol
>>743155434this shit has gotten so and recentlyI don't mind hidden gems but bringing on the dev of a game with like 8 players max is peak retard I also dislike how they had an actual call to action for devs to contact them if they want their games on GDQ which kinda defeats the whole point of GDQ
>>743155692What a rough summer. Looks like I didn't miss much. Thank ya!
>>743155693On closer inspection, I think it's a really light pink tank top, but that still doesn't excuse how gross his manboobs look with such tight clothing.
>>743156067Charts will be added to https://chartfag.neocities.org/archive/, because the old URL is a no-no to post.
>>743156142I'm gonna go jerk it to this rabbit
>>743155692>>743155987>>743156015TYFYS
>>743156160very comprehensive graphs, well done
>>743155434>Release: 2026>Peak players on Steam: 12 >Current players: 1>Developer on the couch>Runner spends entire run talking about the game's speedrunning community as if it's huge and the game's "lore" (basic plot)>Blubbers dramatically at the end about how much it means to him and how it's one of his favourite games of all time
>>743156160>the website that was also used to also sort 'ick on 'eck pics is a no-no to postgosh, I wonder why lmao
>>743156160so AGDQ 2025 was slightly better than the other recent GDQs?
>>743155692grimgodless even
>>743156160where's the 2013 chart? you some kind of bandwagon rider fake fan?
>>743156226forgot the pic
>>743155434It's probably necessary at this point to fill out the programming hours.
>>743156242agdq2025 seemed like things were going to improve and the fun may be allowed to creep back in. that was very quickly proven wrong
>>743156160>SGDQ 2024 was rated lower than thisWe really didn't know how good we had it. If those runs happened today people would rate them much higher.
can someone provide a qrd on fragrance point?
>>743156252There was some gold, there always is.
>>743156332trans liberation, black liberation, end genocide
Had fun shitposting with you guys as always, see you guys in 6 months!

>>743156409Trannies hurt the human soul
>>743156304>We really didn't know how good we had it.yes we did. the event has been progressively worse each time. we all know it's only going to be worse and worse each event.
>>743156160And grouped arbitrarily by day, because I forgot I did add that feature.>>743156226>>743156287Truly a mystery. :)
>>743156073Degree in Middle School Statistics here, I can explain:>MeanSum of all ratings divided by the amount of ratiings. Works best when your data is evenly distributed.>MedianMiddle value after all ratings are sorted. Works best when your data has outliers, such as people randomly rating the opposite of everyone else just to fuck with the ratings.>Box PlotGraph that shows a bunch of shit at once:>whiskers at each end are the minimum and maximum values>the left side of the box is the median of the lower half of the data>the right side is the median of the upper half>the line in the middle of the box is the median overall

>>743157103Fukkin saved
>>743155692unironically any runs worth going back to watch from this year or nah?
>>743156675lmfao
>>743157542Have they ever appeared on a run since then?
>>743157750No and it's better that way.
>>743157542Have to watch it at least once every GDQ season
>wake up>it's already overWell at least it looks like there was little of note after kingdom hearts, sums up the entire event really
>>743157706No, and that's been the case for years. It's only worth watching with /v/ imhonesto
>>743157781I hope they're doing well, wherever they are...>>743157791We just don't get kino like this anymore
>>743157706Nope. The few that are even slightly worth watching are ruined by the host not shutting the fuck up or the usually tranny spam either on the couch or in the donations. Just go find old highlights videos from 2019 or before. SGDQ 2013 is a good one.
>>743157706Balatro

>>743157923I missed the run that year because of work i'm still so mad
>>743157980ESA soon
Did Boat-Anon show up this week?
>>743158116I saw him a few times on /sp/ for the World Cup
>>743158116NopeA lot of 'regulars' didn't show up
>>743157103Creepy
Despite the haters, I enjoyed this GDQ because being here with you fags is what makes it fun. There is a 0% chance I would raw dog this entire event with no one else to shitpost with.
>>743158232Very very few would, /v/ funposting makes it so much more bearable
>>743158232>despite the haterswouldn't it be because of the haters, then
>>743158232Yeah ok, good for you, reddit bob.
>>743157875I dont get it

>>743154909will ASM be any better?
>>743158573good luck in 6 months
>>743157542I still haven’t watch the comeback should I stay up and watch it
>>743158635all I've seen of it is a grown ass man in his fuckin' 40s or something actually crying and having a breakdown because he went over estimate in some formula 1 racing gameso fuckin'... maybe?
>>743158635The stream?Yeah, a lot better.The thread?If they exist (unlikely), they won't be worth posting in anyway.
>>743158706it's glorious desu
>>743158719very likely there will be a thread since it's so close to GDQ this time
just woke upwatching the e33 runhope it'll be at least decent

What’s the ironmouse vod?
>>743159156It was crazy. She started screaming "FUCK TRANS RIGHTS! FUCK TRANNIES! FUCK GDQ!!! FUCK THESE STUPID NONRUNS!! FUCK NI--"And then she was cut off. It was wild
>>743159234Mate if that was true we'd have our purple run of the event.
Any cringe/train wreck Kino this year?
>>743159439The closest you'll get: >>743157298This event was somehow boring, it was as bad usual, but it lacked the punch of being offensive to normal people like previous events were, so the threads were kinda dead compared to before.
Did any of the threads have the 'donated but didn't get read' images posted?
im at thr end of the e33 run and my fucking god the donation reader is just CONSTANTLY NONSTOP egging on the maelle vs verso and milestone dinations, shes hasnt stopped to take a breath in like 15 minutesare last runs always like this
>>743159667>are last runs always like thisyes
why are we still here

SGDQ has come to an end. What did I think of it?
>>743159963This is easier to believe than the official story.
can someone please link the video with ed edd and eddy man sobbing uncontrollably and everyone goes "AWWWWWWW"
>>743159758idiot mexican lmao
>>743160130You just don't get it mang
>>743156242Yes it was quite enjoyable in comparison and had a lot of memorable moments, seems there was less trans shilling and they were more open to ideas. Then everything became bad again and just keeps getting worse. Agdq25 was just a glitch in the matrix
>>743159815I'm okay with it. Monday is that other event, and at the end of this month is ESA, after that its RTA. I'll be sad af after all that though I bet
>>743160126https://youtu.be/lMt97L9UhDc?t=2152
>>743160126>no one in the audience screamed "DORK"
>just watch the LoZ: ALttP run>"no major glitches">does a major glitch in the very beginningDo runners even follow their own rules anymore?
>>743160182so hecking wholesome>>743160187wholeless
>>743160226categories are dictated by discord mods who just "choose" whether something is MAJOR glitch or not based on whether their best run contains it or not.
>>743160160no but seriously you are genuinely just a mexican lol
>>743156076The original chartfag...
I think SGDQ26 was okay, but the value of “okay” has also gone down during the years
>>743160318>meant to be played in an optimized casual playthroughCasual playthroughs don't use glitching. It's further proof speedrunners are a category of their own for idiocy.
>>743160126>>743160182Was Kanker sister lewds at least posted during this run
>>743160329Oh nevermind you are actually disabled and don't even know what's up.
>>743160365stop posting the inverse chart noooo
>>743160365we didnt know how bad things could get
>>743160226>>743160428Samefag here. I cannot watch this now. Ten minutes in, and a several major glitches have already been performed. This is why speedrunning is a joke anymore. Things are completely arbitrary like >>743160318 said. If it's within basic gameplay mechanics (e.g. bomb jumping), fine. I don't even consider that glitch but creative workaround. But things displayed within 10 minutes yet claiming it's "no major glitches" is just absurdity.
>>743155692>kaizo slop rated this high/v/ has disgusting taste
>>743156062And so did everyone else, looking at the threads.
>>743160591>skyrim in FQRD?remember the Mion mass replier that would rate posts
>>743160706For the longest time I thought this was an obscure n64 game, and it turns out it was just a shitty indie ad that probably got cancelled because the devs didn't pay enough.
Chibi won.
>>743160182>bbuuuuhuhuhuh....buhuh....d....d-dig a h-hooooole....
>>743160745agdq was honestly worse because the "trans rights" shit was on giga hyper ultra mode with "trans rights" flashing screen transitions and it being repeated possibly 5x more than this event if you can even imagine that. it was even more obnoxious than it was this year. it felt like it was non fucking stop literally.
>>743156589Chart anon please included faggots still wearing a face mask in future charts. Sick of those virtue signaling shits.
>>743156589You really don't need the "black" tag, it's never relevant to a run, whereas tranny actually is.
>>743160869Yes. They toned the faggotry down, but /v/ stayed overly sensitive to it and threads filled up with "THIS IS THE WORST HECKIN GDQ EVAAAA" every time there was a tranny run. This marathon wasn't great, but dead hour runs were usually fine.
>>743160849>she/her>Caveman
>>743160696I started watching it ignoring the "no major glitches" part, and damn, there's a major glitch like every single minute. Okay, I'll stop bitching about this and just finish watching.
>>743154986>he/him
HOLY SHITjust watched the ogre battle run, and GOD that was clutch.
I've watched these events since 2012. This year is the first year in my shitty life I just didn't have the time due to work (was a NEET for a long time). Feels very weird to just have outright missed a GDQ. How was it overall? I know there's probably more trans than ever so that doesn't really affect me, but just the overall run quality and stuff?
>>743161593You were happier than any of us who wasted a week watching this shit heap
>>743161593It was so bad most of us barely watched it, threads were considerably slower than usual. You missed nothing.
>>743160849Fuck off bot. You spam this lie every thread.https://youtu.be/dwbN1C4Uq2k
>>743160849this is a utter LIE
>>743160869Running a script over the youtube transcripts for the events:>Trans right counter>SGDQ 2025: 250>AGDQ 2026: 202>SGDQ 2026: 176So the gist is correct, but definitely not 5x.I wish this worked for older years but YT must have changed its captioning software, because I get unbelievable results (0 hits from 2020). But at least recent years are comparable.
>>743161737>>743161801I see, that's a shame. I actually believed there was some improvement in the last couple marathons (though the final block of runs has increasingly got worse)
>>743161593>>743161959i would say the event was "okay" BUT it hinges on being able to watch the good blocks. the more lowkey runs are almost always better now because high profile runs or games are seen as prime donation milking now. This GDQ also had a fairly excessive amount of trans runners even by the standards of the event.tl;dr it can still be a fairly good time but youre much more at the mercy of the schedule, where in the past you could just have the event running 24/7
>>743162072>the more lowkey runs are almost always better now because high profile runs or games are seen as prime donation milking now.the worst was when they held everyone hostage for some blind botw run or something
>>743161936And since I know you're curious about the record-holders:>6 hits during Resident Evil: Requiem>7 hits during 20XX>9 hits during Super Mario and Luigi World: Brotherhood>10 hits during Pokémon FireRed>14 hits during Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About TimeNot time-adjusted so e.g. FireRed's density isn't as impressive as 20XX.
>>743162142yeah. in the past the "big" runs actually had a chance to be good but now theyre donation bait, incentive bait and engagement bait (meaning they slow down everything due to useless pre and post-run interviews). like if a new zelda comes out its basically guaranteed to be fucked even if the actual run is good
>>743153785D I hardly watched
It's fucking over, let it go.
>>743161936must have been more jarring during agdq because it was the first time they were spamming it at such a high frequency combined with the visual transitions and now I already got used to it as noise
i used to look forward to this eventnow I wish it would just go away forever
>>743162553just close the tab bro
>>743162475oh and I skipped sgdq 2025 so that explains a lot too. agdq 2026 was the first time I heard them saying it nonstop like that I guess.
>>743154909Dying Light was by far the best run this event. Great run, good entertaining runner, no annoying couch or dono reader (beyond normal), comfy late night setting.
>>743162553just rewatch old runs, remember the good times, let go of current losses, look forward to other eventshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LvMEKqc7xw
watching GDQ has made more aware of the ways in which I am cringe and I will seek to be better
See you guys in winter
>>743163674ESA is in 3 weeks
>>743163936I will not be there...
>>743163983You will.
>>743163983your loss
>>743163952BWOOOOOM
>>743155692>Fragrance point Dare I ask?
>highest view count was a raid by a streamer on the first day>even that was still an 11% drop from the past 2 events and an all time low>WEEEE TRANS RIGHTS>SpikeVegeta crying because of Palestine or somethingWhat an embarrassment this event is. Do dudes like PJ and Patty even go to this shitshow anymore?
Reminder to send feedback
>>743164138how
The trans rights thing is a total meme by now. There were three times this GDQ when that was the first thing I head when tuning in. And many more where it only took a couple of minutes to get there. Basically a religious mantra at this point
when did they stop doing the after-party speedruns?shit like the mario party 2 2v2 BIG PLAYS?2013?
>>743164368Yeah it's just the cults slogan.
Why are these threads even active?And why is it there and not in /lgbt/?
>>743164138>asks for feedback (on Bluesky, where people who still wear masks in public will ask for trans rights chants and social distancing on the runner can)>>if you're going to r/speedrun to rehash the same four talking points about why you can't watch anymore, you're not looking for change. You're looking to complain.
>>743155490Elden ring feedback?
>>743164368my brain automatically tunes them out, just like it will tune out their cries of mercy on the day of the rope
>>743164138They're not looking for feedback, they're looking for praise
I got drunk and fell asleep, when's the next run?
Anons im so sentimental and big sad. I'm so lonely omg. Event is over :( so sad. I miss you already.
>>743164138Highlights of r/speedrun thread?
>>743154909ESA has a better lineup than SGDQ, what the fuck happened? Did Yuros stopped coming to GDQ?
>>743163624thats fucking incredible
AAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO FOR THE NEXT 30 HOURS
My run is up next, wish me luck!
>>743165157Stay on that grind, hit your next PB, take a shower, wash your ass.
>>743165206Good luck and trans rights!
i miss ourgirl meme bros
>>743165391NO FUCKIN WAY
>>743165430>girl
anyone else feeling motivated to speedrun something after this? happens every time desu
>>743165391
>>743165616fuck no I actually have shit to do. that's something you do if you have literally jack shit going on.
>>743165650yeah unfortunately I actually have a job now so I can't grind stuff like I used to. But I still wanna
This was the first gdq i was glad it was over.
I already miss it...
>>743165630>*record scratch* >*freeze frame* >Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.
gm retardsI see I didn't miss anything going to bed before e33.
>>743165630
>>743165849gm retard,same
>>743157298I was so disappointed to see that was fixable. Not even a fire alarm to crash this shitshow.
>>743155692WHO WAS THE "!" GIRL DURING SLAY THE SPIRE 2? I know it wasn't the clearly male ogre in front, or the male indian. I assume it was not also the "hehe I hide in the corner with glasses", so it was the attention whore with flowers in her hair?
This was honestly the worst gdq I've seen. I stopped watching on the fourth day because of how terrible the skits were, the announcers having to be a part of runs, and the constant trans rights bullshit. And judging by the charts, apart from a couple games, i didn't miss anything good
>>743167046I didn't even watch it lmao.
Anything better than AGDQ?
>>743167046I watched about three full runs across the entire marathon. Normally I watch a bunch of random runs as well, but the level of donation/troon spamming was so high that it wasn't worth it
>>743167238Why did he not cross his legs properly? Did he not want to show off his nopan upskirt?
>>743167046>i willingly sat through theater kid intermissions>only the S tier runs are worth watchingHow do you people even function?
>>743165391+1000% to ram price
Wow, they laundered another few hundred K in the final hours. Good job.
>>743168018What was the grand total this event?
What's the next speedrunning event?
>>743167238Damn, Mario is a baddie
>>743168457ASM in a couple of days, there's usually threads for it
>>743168457Australian one starts Monday, ESA starts like Aug 1st or July 31st. Here are schedules:https://ausspeedruns.com/ASM2026/schedulehttps://esamarathon.com/schedule/
>>743168442$2,408,000. I'm not sure how that compares to past events.
Here's the real peak viewer count for SGDQ 2026 without the obvious YouTube view bots that were deployed on Saturday. Instead I'm taking 9k viewers on YouTube as the baseline.
>>743164012Kek I was looking for this webm
I'd just like to apologize to the janitor personally for a post I made about one of the SGDQ donators that included a harmful depiction of a trans woman. While waiting out the length of my 3 day board-wide ban it gave me time to think. Even though the comment was not directed at the janitor, I forgot to think about how my post could potentially be hurtful to other members of the LGBTQI+ community. I truly am sorry, and would like the opportunity to participate in the threads for the next video game speedrun marathon, if you could all find it in your hearts to forgive me.
>>743157706I'm watching the VVVVVV one and it's pretty cool. Only 15 minutes, very fun and skillful.
>>743168941a few people short of 58k is a huge drop holy fuck
>>743167046I didn't watch it but kept the threads up. GDQ is not worth hatewatching for me.
>>743157706The s ranked ones obviously we basically got a sequel to bonesaws jak and dexter run with memoirs of magic
>>743154909I fell asleep last night, how was E33 and the finale? Did they do anything coo?
>>743169485The Twitch stream didn't get above 50k viewers the entire event.
>>743169596>we basically got a sequel to bonesaws jak and dexter run with memoirs of magic>S rank run from a dev that went on to make furry fagsmut game>other S rank run from a fursuiter couchFurgods...I fvcking kneel
>>743169664>erm well you see twitch cut down on bots so that's why the number dropped from 100k! all the previous streams were botted!>and uhmmm covid is over so the views are down now even though the events had 200k+ before covidthe self ownage is hilarious any time they try to explain away the drop in viewership
>>743159963We just had a deal to legally launder 300 million with iran why would they bother with yetti 6 figures. Qrd we steal irannian money so we cant legally do anything with it so deal was to give that money back but it can only be used to buy american goods. Doesnt matter now because war back on
>>743155434Indie devs pay GDQ about 20k to have their game playedIt's a money makerDeal with it
>>743154804love you too anon. its been fun shitposting with you guys. check out ASM on Monday if you feel like it. Its much more fun and whatever Werster is involved in is usually goldhttps://ausspeedruns.com/ASM2026/scheduleThe run where he shits on this girl while she tries to speedrun Mario Kart and its sequel were the most any speedrun has made me laugh in yearshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkfJffu41FQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_vmY9-XIC8This Kururin relay race with Joester was also fun and one of the better race formats i've seenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32oeXy5xSK0
Remember, /v/: trans rights are human rights!
>>743157875It's always impressive to me how intellectually and philosophically bankrupt these people are. Have you not read a single book in your life? This is what 'fundamentally changed' your thinking?
>>743168941>Viewers down across the board>Still making the same amount of donationsSo what's the explanation
>>743168941Seems weird how the massive influx of Youtube viewers on Saturday didn't translate to getting more donations
>>743169584she kinda...
>>743169335>my grandma found out I was trans and killed herselfPlease tell me this is real.
>>743170473Dude let it go, just enjoy the runs
>>743170473Probably unironically inflation. The kinds of people throwing big bucks at GDQ are the sort who'd be scaling up with inflation instead of getting screwed by it.
>>743158232oh cool its my arrokudaWe should do pokémon drawings every event, pokémon """speedruns""" are god awful time wasters
>>743168941How in the actual fuck did this shit hit 2.4 million??
>>743164138Fucking hell, you know you're too far gone when even reddit thinks you're too insufferable
>>743168941The youtube botting was one of the most shameless things I've ever seen>consistently below twitch viewers>suddenly tens of thousands of viewers out of nowhere, dwarfing twitch
>>743170473Is there a graphic that tracks donations across the event? Because this shit raised around a million in the last day alone which makes it less genuine and more obvious that it's just corpos dumping cash into the fund
>>743164617Because actually these threads are about video games, not homosexuals
>>743170473I think that GDQ has a very reliable source of donation whales who will keep donating no matter what, even when the viewership is going down. All GDQ has to do is keep pandering to that specific group, and they'll keep trucking along. There's also businesses like the yetee dropping some fat sums every now and then, because some of those t-shirt designs can be neat enough to splurge on, I guess. I remember buying a shirt or two some eight years ago, but haven't since.>>743171992gdqstats.comThese events raising +1million in the last day or two has happened multiple times.
>>743171935And in the deadest hours of the night. I'm actually thinking it was a troll who bought view bots to make them look retarded.
>>743172164>GDQ has a very reliable source of donation whales who will keep donating no matter whatThis is the new modern business meta. It's been discovered that it's more profitable to appeal to a smaller, wealthier demographic than to a broader pool of people. This is true across all industries except maybe food.
>>743172624>This is true across all industries except maybe food.I think it's general goods (shit like kitchenware, general everyday tools or products, or maintenance equipment like wd40) where it doesn't quite apply. Sure, there will always be some more "hip" and expensive options for many of those, but even a rich snob might just say it's a waste of money to get some kitchen utensils made out of diamonds. At the end of the day, toilet paper is still toilet paper.
What did they do for the finale?
>>743173059Clair Obskiur. Also they did a joke that this SGDQ was the last one, holding that thought for a moment, before finishing with "...before the release of GTA6".
What the fuck lol.
>>743173152Imagine GTA 6 gets another delay
>>743173473stop noticing
i dont think theres ever really been something off or weird about gdq's numbers over the years. it mostly adds up. i do think the youtube viewership was odd though, i dont think theyd brazenly bot like that themselves so maybe some other party did
>>743173059Dilating circlejerk.
>>743173585It'd be pretty funny to see, think there would be a shit ton of stuff going down if that happened>gaming companies scrambling to release their games to avoid releasing next to GTA6>gamers joking or throwing shit about another delay>people having to eat up their "before GTA6" or whatever similar jokes they might have made>Rockstar/2K having to deal with more waves of media buzz about crunch, working conditions, or whatever
>>743173768With the youtube numbers it could even be something as simple as the youtube algorithm happening to pick up the stream, and putting it in front of people. From what I've seen, it's can be a crapshoot to "organically" find streams on YouTube, so it can be down to luck on whatever YouTube is recommending. Much in the same way as how video creators find their videos not reaching as large audiences as they used to, even if the video quality hasn't gone down.YouTube is largely just a black box when it comes to discoverability. Either you know what you are looking for (and I hope you remember the exact video title if you're trying to search for a specific video), or you get recommended a thing based on whatever nebulous YouTube criteria.
dinnae watch any
>tune in to Dying Light (3rd highest rated run by /v/chuds)>expect it to be good>it's just french shit>/v/ rated it high because the runner didn't have their pronouns filled in & they didn't say trans rights when the donations said trans rightspredictable
>>743174235Heh
>>743166278frozenflygone
>>743156810I bet she is a freak in bed.
>>743174525I rated it highly because it was a good run done by someone who could explain everything, did cool tricks and pulled off some time saving backup skips when things went wrong. He also had weird luck in certain parts that made the run feel blessed. Same guy was the MW2 record holder who ran at AGDQ 2026
>>743174525watch the snowboard game and memoirs of magic, those were my two favorites.
>>743174541Built for everyone but her husband
>>743170828This, the value of the dollar has fucking tanked since 2020. The biggest boon with these stat aggregators is not showing these amounts corrected for inflation.
>>743174628>memoirs of magic, those were my two favorites.Same case as Dying Light. Tedychud doesn't fill his pronouns
this pic didn't age well
>>743174979I wonder if he knows about the kissing thing
>>743174979I've legit always wondered how much disgusting orgies happen at gdqs. Like it's known that a lot of the asspies get piss drunk and party it up with their friends
>>743175501Yeah well turns out the cunts running ESA are just that, cunts!
>>743175501Isn't it the running joke that GDQ bans everyone in the chat but ESA bans every speedrunner themselves from the event?
>>743175063As much as dollar has tanked in value, people still perceive 2 million dollars to be 2 million dollars, so it can look good on paper.
>>743175501Just replace mommy with Edenal or Hypnoshark's beautiful faces. This was how I felt after AGDQ 2026 which made me question whether I even wanted to continue watching speedrunning events and then ESA Winter came around with Hypnoshark's racing trifecta and PGA Tour runs, Edenal's early morning NES runs and the Mario Party runs on the last day and I felt refreshed
>>743175624probably more disgusting than we could imagine
This Nintendon't marathon heals my soul
>>743175857Link it. I'm bored
>>743175824Whens the Muslim meetup at GDQ
>>743175824didn't mr. game and shout cheat on his wife with some girl from this
ESA winter was actually a good event this year, not just good compared to GDQ or by the standards of an event that was on the brink of death just a year prior, it was actually just a good solid speedrunning event. I'm glad they recovered
>>743175667Speedrunners dropped ESA themselves after multiple rounds of drama, mainly (but not only) related to prize mommy's google doc.
>>743175805Yeah ESA last year felt really good despite being a lot smaller. ESA's always been therapeutic when I've tuned in and I've found myself saving vacation days for it without regret>>743175895here https://www.twitch.tv/goati_schedule https://horaro.net/ndont9/scheduleIt's due to run all the way until ASM at the least
>>743176051shut the fuck up goosebert you ape
>>743175667GDQ bans people over the slightest misdemeanors, and soft bans people by not accepting any of their run submissions, while with ESA it's more that the runners just stop going because they involve themselves in drama. Like all Susan had to do was just laugh it off and let things be, but he let them chicken nuggets to get to his head.
>>743176210Nice
>>743176106The frustration with Edenal and Planks was about to boil over anyways, the prizemommy thing was just the dam breaking
Didnt watch any of it, can some anon give me rundown. Was still a troon infested shitshow?
>>743176106what doc?
>>743176210>Bloody Roar 2based
>>743176332The tldr is that ESA security is a complete joke and the ESA management wouldn't listen to complaints about it until it culminated in the security team knowingly putting prizemommy in a room with an alleged molester without telling her
>>743176051This. I'm glad Edenal stepped up, and ESA is a return to form.
>>743176513There's a few good reasons Lovare doesn't beat the drum about ESA any more but I'll let you figure those out yourself
>>743176227Thanks for reminding me this shit happened https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/goosebert/deleted/deleted/
I can't believe Tinytim transitioned...
>>743176731Into a corpse
Cya when the next RTA comes around given ESA is pretty dead.
when's esa
What I catched from this one was depressing as always. I hate this fake safe dorky attitude nerds have these days and the trans rights chants are just cult-like. Everything about this event feels fake, almost demonic I would say. Whatever, I'll put on Snowboard Kids as background noise since it seemed to have good reception and it's a based game
>>7431770191st of next month
Why do all the ESA haters pretend it's still 2023?
ASM waiting room, what are you playing?
>>743177702everquest
>>743176301Worse than it's ever been
So, what did we learn this GDQ?actual question because I didn't watch a single run and missed nearly all the threads, I think the detox is working
>>743178048That people are just getting even MORE generous every single year!
>>743178048Speedrunning as a mainstream interest is dead
>>743155192I was extra weirded out by the guy doing the Clash at Demonhead run. He looked like a guy with long hair and a bandana, spoke with a REALLY deep man voice, but the pronouns on the card were "they/she" and the guy on the couch called him a "she". Like, the fuck? Not even trying. I thought it was a joke at first.
>>743177702Kotor. Approaching the end now
>>743178048viewbotting is ok when trannies do it
>>743177702Risk of Rain, I'm extremely rusty playing Glass
>>743177702Dead space
>>743175824I guess Chibi was just a few years too early in bringing condoms to GDQ
>>743176210>Playing EhrgeizHoly based
>>743177850Somehow I'm not surprised
>>743174525I rated it highly because it was an actual speedrun, ran professionally with many well explained tricks and no fuckups. Are you rating it lowly because "French"?
>>743178048Polycules are a fetish
>>743155480>One of the indie dev's is on the couch.>An absolute charisma black hole.>Says maybe 2 things while there, neither of which are insights about the game or even their reactions to learning about what the runners are doing.>10% of the time they comment, it's a blatent admission of enshittifying their game with "Oh, yeah, we knew about that trick in development, so we left it in because we thought speedrunners would like it."
>>743174525no rating accurately reflects a run, it just reflects the general feeling of anons posting in the thread at that time
Has anyone from the GDQ staff had their bi-yearly meltdown over criticism yet
>>7431552395 Royal is probably the best one to start at, although it and 3 and 4 all play pretty similarly.
>>743179182see >>743164138
>>743174525genuine retard
Where's the kick stream?
>>743175543rizz god
>>743164138My feedback is they don't passThey will never passThey belong in /hongen/
>>743178863It was Tuesday or Wednesday that every single run with the exception of 2 was done by a tranny. Other days ether had trans rights chants or a transformer on couch. Like I shit you not you could damn near count on one hand the number of runs without one present
https://ausspeedruns.com/ASM2026/schedulewhat are we excited for?
>>743158232Did you make one of these for AGDQ2026? I'm curious if my Skorupi made it in
>>743179810uhhhhWerster
>>743179960>5 hour pokemon runGross
>>743179960Can't be supporting a cheater in current year
>>743177702I got Blood running in Not Blood, I plan on replaying Death Wish.
>>743160318>>743160428My favorite retarded tranny argument for a glitch was in a Pokémon Red glitchless run where they used that glitch of using a Poké Doll to escape the battle with the ghost at the top of lavender tower to skip the entire Sylph Co Tower. Their argument was>Well, a glitch means "unintended outcome" to a game.>But the Poké Doll's intended use is to escape battles.>So therefore, instead of running from the battle, we use the Poké Doll to escape it and skip over it's trigger entirely. Because that's clearly intended behavior, it's allowed in the glitchless category.Like, nigga, what? Even a fucking shark lawyer wouldn't try to use that.
>>743179810X Files: Resist or Serve, Mario kart DS, Castlevania 1-4 Relay, Legacy of Kain: Defiance, San Andreas, F-Zero GX
Wait, what is this modded streamer slop? This isn't DS1.
>>743180157If it's intended behavior does it work in the remakes?
>>743157791that fucking tranny on the couch just constantly saying what are you going to do about that. thank fuck they kicked that creature away for the next run
>>743155692How bad or good was the KH2 run considering this board is full of tranies that hate the game.
>>743181103It was a modded and seeded randomizer, what do you think ?
>>743179810>Bananza opener>Ape Escape block>Crime block>MGS2:EE>Werster pokeymane>And some long runs for the night shift that I can do some comfy multitasking duringI don't expect anything to blow my mind, but I do expect the week to be a happy one
>>743155692Why is Tactic Ogres so high
>>743160318Anon, the "no major glitches" category exists to bandaid wrong-warp runs out of the most popular run category; otherwise the entire game is increasingly autistic deku-tree runs warping into the end credits.There's a lot of bullshit that goes on in speedrunning, but that category literally exists to unbullshit the leaderboards.
Anyone watching Nintendon't?Seems to be online sadly, but man, at least there are speedruns.
>>743181218It was a good run with proper routing and clutch moments that nothing ruined. We were so parched at the time that we'd take anything
>>743181216KH2 randomizers are really good
>>743181264I watched the VOD last night and it was a really good run, I'm glad it was rated highly because it actually was worth watching.
>>743180694Of course not. Even if it did, that wouldn't be proof of anything other than oversight. It could still have been the case in that hypothetical that they just never knew about it enough to fix it.
>>743155480I don't think they to be featured, but more often than not they drop a fat donation to make sure theirs gets read. Or if the developers are local enough, they might just show up in person.
>>743181382>I don't think they to be featuredI don't think they pay, meant to write
>>743179810>Werster run is way too early for meFuck
>>743176210where's the pronouns, timer, estimate and donation counter?I'm fucking tweaking
Tactic Ogre new saga trust
>>743181262Yeah I'm watching right now. It's serving as a good palette cleanser
>>743181103KH2 rando is cool but only when playing or when watching a friend play so you can rib on him when he deathloops at the start of Pride LandsIn GDQ it's just lame since there's none of that
>>743176765not funnyhope to see him at esa
>>743155692>Not a single run with over a hundred votesIs it over?
>>743180028It's more like 2h and a half
>>743160226>>743160318What constitutes a major glitch can vary wildly by game, and tends to be more of a gentlemen's agreement between speedrunners not to exploit certain tricks in a given category. In Link to the Past's case, you could just get out of bounds right at the start of the game, and walk to the room that triggers the end credits. While that can be a neat little showcase, it makes the run extremely short and not all that interesting to watch, while also ignoring 99% of the game's content. So, runners just come up with rules that might make for a more interesting category to play or watch, and that's how you get categories like No Major Glitches.How arbitrary or random these categories get tends to depend on how exploitable the game is, so for some games a NMG category might as well be called glitchless, while for another it's to avoid the most game breaking stuff.
>>743181919People with good sense left this shitshow years agoThere's not a single run from this week anyone will rememberNobody will ever recommend watching any of this week's runs to people in the future because it was all garbage
>>743177702stuck with breath of the wild for over a year now
>>743179050This>unwatchable dogshit elden ring run>but because of a hype moment it's rated highly and instantly invalidates the rest of the run being dogshit
>>743176513I heard that story in the past week. Was he even actually found to be guilty of the molestation in the first place? Or is there anything even credible to that claim?
>>743182250What was the moment in Elden Ring's case?
>>743182019How many runs from any of the old events are recommended outside of the usual ones like the Halo 2 trainwreck and the Rocko's quest run which are liked for reasons unrelated to skilled speedrunning
Where do we go now
>>743181103Guy who's done like 200 or so KH2 Rando runs here, the GDQ run was "okay". I don't really get the community's obsession with co-op runs, I always thought they were way more lame than races because it just ends the seed sooner and makes you have to do less personally. I like playing solo runs or races with people depending on the mood.The run itself was a 6/10, it was very competent and a slightly shiny rock in the rough, but a few things bugged me;>Spike, despite being one of the OGs of COR skip, couldn't do it during a run despite having all the tools>Aforementioned issues with co-op runs>While they tried explaining it as well as they could, randomizers will NEVER be good for a showcase at speedrun events simply because theres no way a casual viewer could understand what's happeningI personally have just been thirsting for a good old KH2 run at a GDQ for a very long time now, and it feels like it always gets snubbed for something far less interesting like Rando or a random BBS story run. Anyway, that's my autism rant.
>>743154909I thought Blue Archive was banned here.
>>743175824>ethically non-monogamous???
>>743182250>but because of a hype moment it's rated highlylike the Argick Starfox run from AGDQ
>>743174525Those are good reasons to vote it highly
>>743179810ESA in less than three weeks
>>743181919world cup has been on
>>743182645That was a good run though. People were liking it even before that moment at the end, that only put it over the top
>>743181919There is one with over 100 votes...Oh, never mind, it wasn't a run.
>>743182645argick runs are automatic ZZZs in my mind
See you fags tomorrow. Some of you at least
>>743182708Australians do it better
>>743182762lol I remember GDQ staff actually using this excuse
>>743179810OoT 3D I guess, never seen that ran
>>743183093What is the cute girl situation?
