This GDQ had the lowest viewership in years (stream struggled to break 100k when older streams EASILY shot past it). Its actually insane, peak viewership fucking HALVED right after covid hit and hasn't recovered since.

Covid hitting really allowed a lot of dumb decisions to get a free pass, and get cemented in before anyone could see exactly how popular they actually were.

Good commentary makes a boring, if fast, run entertaining. And let's face it, many speed-runs fit that category.

Which is why *GDQ banning all the funny and otherwise entertaining commentary has killed *GDQ.

And the annoying part is, even if it fails, or just dwindles, there will never be a meaningful discussion about why. It'll be 'oh I guess speedrunning got old' with maybe a side of 'not enough black and brown bodies'.
 
The Russian guy should've ended his run with quickly shouting TRANNIES ARE NOT WOMEN, HAIL PUTIN, FUCK UKRAINE, FUCK GDQ SCAMMERS just to cause maximum troll. shame he did a stupid weird monologue
 
So like... I'm not going to say Sent has ever been an attractive man. He's always looked like the cringy guy who works in your IT department.

But oh my God... is he fucking dying? What the fuck happened? He's gained at least 70lbs and is growing hobo locks...

Not that I would blame him, I turned the stream on and heard Fable was on next, let myself get a little excited, and this shit came on the screen. I would get demoralized and fat too if I were a cog in this machine.

Weird to only know this is going by seeing the vods show up on Youtube. Nobody even seems to give a shit anymore. You can tell they're getting desperate when there's a Pacman 2 : The New Adventures run on the schedule, and as good as that game is it's going to be up there with Myst on the list of point and clicks that nobody's going to want to watch.

Watched the BOTW run though and I was amazed that there were absolutely no donation cutins and actual interesting commentary, but then GDQ's gotta GDQ and they added an extra 20 minutes of dead air and a cringy host segment to the end of the vod.

What a surprise another runner without any real quality runs being showcased at AGDQ again. Someone with decent times in only extremely weird made up categories that no one cares about - in this case a speedrun that gets 602 stars in 4 games combined (Super Mario 64, Galaxy, Sunshine, Galaxy 2) and all kinds of other mashed together dogshit.

Wonder why that could be.

And a category that sounds like it got made up to take as MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE.

It's not "as much time as possible" per se - but it's absolutely a category that the actual real speedrunners will pass on because it's so obtuse, making it easy pickings for the mediocre trannies to higher spots in.

The run he is doing in GDQ is just one of the games - Mario Galaxy - in a 4 way race, where they would normally be placed like 35th in a game most people don't run anymore (a lot of runs are ~4 years ago or older)

Yeah, true.

I'm not really an N64 person but doesn't 604 imply a fairly complete run of all of the games?

Yeah, but that's almost the issue instantly.

Mario 64 is N64, but Sunshine is Gamecube and Galaxy/Galaxy 2 are Wii - so not even the same feeling game, or controller. The Galaxy games also have a stupid mode where you can use 2P's wiimote to shoot rocks into the game so some runners literally play with two controllers for a slight advantage.

If you think 604 is stupid (20 hours) - come warm yourself up by the complete retardation that is 1862 (40 hours) - which adds every other 3D mario game created to the mix. "Claire" is behind in that by nearly 10 hours.

It's all really stupid dogshit that just makes speedrunning look even more autistic than it already is.

There's a couple reasons they do this shit, which yes they've been doing it for years for big series like Megaman and DKC.

1) Mario is a big name and gets lots of donos but his individual games aren't long enough to really milk fans.
2) Its not really a run at all, its four different runs linked thematically. This is all the 3D Mario you are going to get but its four games which is a lot.
3) By making it a relay race they take away the pressure from individual runners so there is no true failure (but no true success either) and thus the runners' ~mental health~ is protected.
4) It makes it a "community effort" where lots of people get to participate instead of just one guy and his friends.
