Sweet, thanks.

You're welcome and enjoy the run

 

[KevinCow]

I'm glad this MK64 run is almost over. It's kind of a boring game to watch.

Can't wait for TASBot. That's always a highlight of the event.

Just reading some of the legit feedback on this AGDQ (waiting for this MK run to be over) and some of this stuff seems hella shady.

I think I'm convinced that SMK is the most fun Mario Kart to watch, it's so fast and such great cornering. That race from the other day was great too.

 

[TheJoRu]

guessing twitch chat is filled with KappaPride right now

Yep.

Sounds like a legit complaint:

Final Fantasy Any% (JP) was pure fail. They lost count 2-3 times and couldn't show off the glitch. They had to cut the run after 12:20.

At times like these, I'm asking myself why NES Open Tournament Golf got rejected.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

TAS time?

 

[CassSept]

So what game they are programming in another game on the fly this year

 

[Micapo]

Blindfolded Punch Out was great...
Still haven't beaten Mike Tyson even though I tried it as a kid in the late 80's and they do it blindfolded

Stop. Don't.

99% of that bullshit is from the god fucking awful speedrun community that exists to manufacture drama, complain about political correctness and SJWs and spam GRILL in chat. They have no fucking idea what they are talking about.

There are legitimate complaints and a couple obviously poor treatments of runners or situations but almost all of what's on that list is fucking garbage from awful people who aren't worth pretending they have anything to say.

 

[Xater]

I'm glad I randomly tuned in for the TASBot segment. This should be entertaining.

 

[Dai101]

TASBot here we come!!

The signal/noise ratio in that doc is appalling and I really don't feel like sifting through all the insane racism/homophobia going on to glean something remotely credible.

Also, read on reddit the guy that wanted to see it at AGDQ (BigJohn) is banned from ever running because at a past event he flashed the cart on stream wtf.

 

[Raist]

rumors were confirmed that gdq staff gets paid over 6 figures ($167,500) to organize an event while runners had to fight for free attendance. all paid members are still anonymous despite the first paid members were open to the community.

Wait... each one of them gets that?

Perfect example!

THAT'S NOT FUCKING TRUE

r/speedrun is a fucking cesspool, don't listen to them

Yeah I've read that too, I found that hilarious, and someone like Stiv was accepted again, for his wife steal thing and behaving like an idiot.

Seems like you got in your mind an agenda you wanna build up.

 

[jett]

Who exactly is paying for the AGDQ staff?

 

[Diablohead]

Wait... each one of them gets that?

I think they get that to cover staff costs and computers and hired hands and such, but yes they make money from it nowdays.

Few events back stuff used to be donated or loaned but now they seem to have the costs sorted themselves.

Who exactly is paying for the AGDQ staff?

PCF I think, who else would?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Also, read on reddit.

The strength of your opinion on what constitutes 'legit feedback' erodes ever further.

 

[LeonSPBR]

TASBOT HYPE!!!!

 

[Vorpal]

Anyone know what song was playing during setup just now?

- the increased inclusion of games that are not good speedruns while other games which are much better speedruns are rejected. example: mario maker and step mania.

Mad about Mario Maker and Step Mania, despite both being popular segments this year?

Edit: oh, this was added before the runs. lol

 

[Diablohead]

RESET

 

[T.O.P]

This is old wtf :|

 

[Coonce]

He was sitting on the back couch for a megaman game..

check his twitter, there was a misunderstanding with security.

reddit has become a cesspool for awful "GDQ Drama" it's all garbage.

 

[Dai101]

I love to hate TASBot.

 

[Htown]

what is happening, lol

 

[TheChits]

Haha this is great

 

[CassSept]

This is old wtf :|

That one wasn't in previous AGDQs though, right?

 

[Svafnir]

I get tasbot just records commands etc. But they are playing on a live console, how do the random airand other elements not mess it up? Or is it literally just like replaying a video.

 

[Par Score]

TASBot at SGDQ wasn't great, but this is pretty fantastic.

 

[Death Metalist]

Tasbot is worth it only to hear YSG's laugh.

 

[jokkir]

Luigi space jump lol

 

[KittenMaster]

Haha this is a fantastic TAS

 

[djplaeskool]

TASblock is the best.

 

[Spirited]

This is pretty amusing.

Though the brain age will be pretty good later on.

 

[GenericBadGuy]

TAS block already worth it. Amazing.

Ah ok cheers for clearing shit up. I was just reading these speed run threads after checking the sub forum out when it was linked in this very thread.

Unlike the other poster saying I have an agenda that is not true at all where do you expect people to think re speed running shit and coming across all this drama sort of shit on reddit.

 

[Dai101]

WAT

THE

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

[Coonce]

how does going back over the start and coming back equal a lap??? waaaaaaaaat

 

[jokkir]

Wait, you can space jump behind the finish line to complete a lap?

 

[Eman Resu]

Love TASBot

 

[KarmaCow]

It's replaying the inputs but it is finely tuned to running on a console and is prone to getting out of sync. I think with the Sonic Advance TAS run at SGDQ last year they had to manually connect the controller, pin to pin to get it synced.

 

[burn this down]

I haven't seen the TAS Blocks from previous GDQ's. Were they just not as good as this was? I see some people aren't too fond of past ones.

The game has ways to manipulate stuff, and it works every time.

Not every game is like this BTW

 

[twothunder]

Crazy tasbot stuff.
Mario kart 64 was quite amusing

 

[Envelope]

I haven't seen the TAS Blocks from previous GDQ's. Were they just not as good as this was?

yeah, SGDQ showed off some Mega Man TASBot stuff that basically involved glitching through the levels and it didn't look cool or showy and just kinda sucked, unlike this Mario Kart that actually is fun to watch
