What if I played through it once but never went back to play through pacifist and want to?

You'll probably want to bail out near the end of the run.

 

[Holiday]

Over 2 million, that's amazing!

 

[Rongolian]

God I hope Crowbcat does a montage for this year. I was so out of the loop with the WAAAAAAAAH stuff. I just tuned in and the announcers were scolding the crowd calling them cancer during the Super Metroid race and had no idea what was happening.

 

[Wanderer5]

Woot nice on hitting that mark!

 

[RocknRola]

Dudes, they finished the last run at $1.871.XXX. They're now closing in on passing $2.1million. And the last run hasn't even started!

Crrraaaaaaaaazzzzzyyyyy.

 

[GenericBadGuy]

Ok I understand making it to two million but it's been nearly half an hour now.

 

[pirata]

Two million! And the counter was at 700-something thousand earlier today, right? That's nuts!

 

[Brashnir]

The break managed to be more hype than the Super Metroid run. How is that even possible?

 

[Professor Beef]

It doesn't play like Earthbound.

Well I'll find out for sure during this run!

(truthfully I was already spoiled about a month after the game released, but spoilers typically don't make/break a game for me)

 

[toddhunter]

What sort of run is this?

I mean is it a lot of glitches/skips or is it pretty much just going through the game efficiently?

 

[Chezzymann]

2.2 million hype

 

[Envelope]

I've only played the game as a pacifist. I'm not sure what you mean. If you're just talking about the little battle messages, that is not really what I'm talking about.

i played 99.9999% of my first (blind)

Spoiler

(killed literally 1 of the enemies in the starting area, figured out toriel wasn't killing me in the fight with her, realized you didn't need to kill anything)

run as pacifist which is why the game didn't quite work for me, still thoroughly enjoyed it though

 

[Suzushiiro]

Jesus, that's $1 million in ~12 hours, since we hit the first million during Galaxy 2 IIRC.

 

[dreams]

The donations right now. This is insanity.

 

[robotrock]

Two million! And the counter was at 700-something thousand earlier today, right? That's nuts!

For real? wow that is some next level business.

good shit, internet

 

[Aikidoka]

What if I played through it once but never went back to play through pacifist and want to?

go ahead and watch. I doubt you'll be able to read the text anyways.

 

[dragonbane]

As I said above, I am not familiar with her.

She is completely cool as a person and I don't mind her commenting. So let's wait and see

 

[Ricerocket]

Pacifist run is going to be a bunch of text skipping so yeah it won't be exciting. Atleast that's what I think. Can't see what else they can do.

 

[DNAbro]

Well I'll find out for sure during this run!

(truthfully I was already spoiled about a month after the game released, but spoilers typically don't make/break a game for me)

I think the element of surprise in this game is on the reasons it works so well.

 

[dickroach]

What sort of run is this?

I mean is it a lot of glitches/skips or is it pretty much just going through the game efficiently?

the runner made it sound like there were a good amount of skips in the interview a couple of hrs ago

 

[RocknRola]

2.2 million hype

They'll easily pass that. Wonder if they can get close to $2.5million when all is said and done!

 

[Suzushiiro]

What sort of run is this?

I've only seen parts of it but there's a fair amount of glitch abuse after you get a certain item IIRC.

 

[Chezzymann]

Pacifist run is going to be a bunch of text skipping so yeah it won't be exciting.

Does that mean there won't be a huge about of spoiling I'd I haven't played it

 

[Saikyo]

Why they are taking so much time to start undertale? Come on!

 

[Nickle]

we did it reddit!

 

[ratcliffja]

Earthbound's battle system is like... straight up Dragon Quest

I haven't ever played a Dragon Quest game, but I know it was much worse than any Final Fantasy or Tales game that I've played.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Jeez, I remember that like maybe 2 days ago donations were at $800k.

This total is gonna end up beating the previous amount raised by like $1 million.

 

[toddhunter]

the runner made it sound like there were a good amount of skips in the interview a couple of hrs ago

ok thanks

 

[Aikidoka]

Please shun this terrible monster guys. Don't give up!

 

[ScribbleD]

At least 1 million has been raised since this morning alone. I went to bed around the time the Tiny Toons run started and it was around 900k. Think about that. It's insane.

 

[Brashnir]

Jeez, I remember that like maybe 2 days ago donations were at $800k.

This total is gonna end up beating the previous amount raised by like $1 million.

2 days? Like 24 hours ago...

 

[ibscpy]

I got up and went to the bathroom and it was at 1.9. I came back and it was at 2 mil! 100k in the time it took me to piss!!! Holy cow!

 

[Zebei]

Going to hit 2.1 million in a few minutes if it keeps up

Crazy, and congratulations to all those runners.

 

[DNAbro]

Please shun this terrible monster guys. Don't give up!

This is just wrong.

 

[serenewarfare]

They raised as much in 12 hours as they did the entire week prior.

Insanity.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Does that mean there won't be a huge about of spoiling I'd I haven't played it

you'll still see all the encounters and spoilers just the fights going differently.

 

[Aeana]

Maybe they're just going to play the whole soundtrack before starting the run.

 

[batsnacks]

TWO MILLION 2000000 $$$ 2 MILLION @@@@@

 

[Crayolan]

Donations have been absolutely crazy this year. Way better than I expected.

Almost 2mil. Is that a first for a GDQ?

It destroys the previous record of 1.5m. And it's still going!!

 

[Envelope]

bepis got cleared? lol

 

[Deleted member 30609]

what happened to bepis

 

[Tall4Life]

What's wrong with the charity they give to??

It's a lot like Komen in the way that they don't really do much in terms of donating for cancer research, but to "prevention" and "education" which are more buzzwords than things they actually put a ton of time into. A lot of their actual efforts have been laughable, like having a giant inflatable colon shouting at people on college campuses. A disproprotionate amount of their money goes to their own salaries. PCF is a bit better than Komen in this regard as Komen is basically just a marketing scam at this point, but there are still MUCH better charities than PCF.

If you see the words "prevention" or "education" as the main goals of a charity, they probably are scummy, or at least should be further researched into. They aren't that useful for society.

 

[sqwarlock]

WHERE THE HELL DID BEPIS GO?!?!

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

This is really pleasant music for sitting back, just watching the number.

 

[devonodev]

Haven't seen an Undertale speedrun since not long after it came out, will be interesting to see all the tricks.

One of my favorite games, I am a little sad for all the people who will be spoiled but oh well.

 

[MBison]

This wait is ridiculous, it's been 40 minutes since the last game ended.

 

[superNESjoe]

TWO MILLION 2000000 $$$ 2 MILLION @@@@@

OK I'll bite. What is the origin of this?

 

[DNAbro]

what happened to bepis

I ask myself this every day
