yetee dropping $14k on the stream.
I kind of wish these giant drops would do what yetee just did and met donation incentives or get bid wars fired up. Imagine if Notch's $10k had gone towards saving the animals.

Yazzo_ five seconds behind, but with F-Zero having F1 style splits that's a huge gap to make up.

Thank you for your story, I can't even imagine that happening to me.
I hope to see you in the GAF Twitch chat, it's a good group of people.

So cool to see older games getting attention...some of these guys are so much younger than me, I doubt they were born when some of these games came out. The Super Metroid race last year was incredible.
Yeah, one of my favourite runs thus far for sure.

can I get added too please? username same as GAF username. Thanks!
Yeah, I feel like it should be splitted into 2 parts. F-Zero is amazing, but it's too much for me.
Edit: That Nintendo callout. lol

lmao, the complete non-reaction to "we could get some support for that, right?"
I can't believe they're pushing the PG thing so far. Just catching up on the Mario Kart 64 TASBot race, and at the start of it the announcer says "Runners, I'd like to remind you that this is a PG stream." I mean come on, you have runners do games like Vice City and you expect everyone on stream to not cuss once? It's a bit of a buzzkill, as if the giant screens shielding the audience wasn't enough already.
Makes me wonder if Notch is watching and donating. IIRC, he donated $10k last year.

That Blue Falcon perler is beautiful.
Based Grant Kirkhope dropped some bombs on stream. He's a such a beauty.
He did a 10k yesterday.

Wouldn't doubt it. He's probably biding his time.
Also can I get an invite back to the GAF chat on Twitch? Twitch name is nihontiger.
5x10k

Someone from Mojang donated $700 earlier today.
Notch isn't actually with Mojang. Nice of that person though!
Awesome! Not that he's forced to give away all that money, but I imagine he could probably double the total amount of donations and barely notice a difference on his bank account at this point.
I stand corrected!
I wonder why he's sticking to 10k specifically though. Some kind of tax reason perhaps?
I don't mean to be a debbie downer, but do the people who donate and say "we can beat this soon" really think we can beat cancer in our lifetimes? That body of illnesses has existed before the human species did. Dinosaurs had cancer!
A lot of the donations have comments like that, and I'm always confused by it. Is it sincere or just feel-goody?

Really, it's called being positive.
Tax deductions for charities in sweden are limited to significantly less than 10k$.
I can get behind positivity. I just worry people getting behind this might think these kind of initiatives are major dents into the body of cancer. If anything, groups like this make treatment and preventive methods more publicly available: they don't eliminate it.

I agree, I want to hear more people admit that we'll probably never find a cure live on camera.
Hopefully I make it home in time.

160k on the second day? That's amazing, love what these guys are doing
I see it more as a concern at looking more professional than actually being kid-friendly.
Some people would probably just swear constantly if there was no hard rule against it. You know what I'm talking about, we all know at least one person who is like that. Hey remember David Jaffe at the PSX keynote?
Well not with that attitude!

Hylian will win a very high skill match before I make it home.
Are they bringing back the human TAS for GX?
