Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 |OT|

Super Sheffy World 2 is the best run so far. Runner made me feel old as fuck because he said he started watching Games Done Quick when he was in Middle School 💀
 
We are now treated to an opera performance after the Ratchet and Clank run now guys. What a very GDQ "treat". Dreams really do come true.
 
Eh, maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't the viewership drop pretty hard? I feel like the opening show used to pull 75–100k viewers. Last night it barely scraped 60k, right?
 
Tuned into Quake 64 (via remaster) run.

Awesome Games Done Leisurely?

Edit: That was terrible! They should have cancelled it on his 10th fail to grenade jump in a row. Embarrassing.

Quality of the runs took a dive when they purged excellent players they found something "problematic" about.
There also used to be clearly neurodivergent people making outstanding runs, but those seem to have disappeared too in the last few years.
And yeah, they got pretty complacent about the actual skill on display once it became clear that people would watch and donate anyway just because of the show. Some runs look like they're actually doing charity to the runner by allowing them to participate, so low is the bar.
 
I stopped watching these years ago, but I had no idea the actual run quality has been dropping. Shame the event has gone the way it did, for a few years there I was marking the weeks on the calendar and considered going to see one live - despite not participating in or even really caring about speed running in general.
 
I had it on for exactly 12 seconds before the announcer shouted TRANS RIGHTS and everyone cheered and clapped.

At about that time I realized I had literally anything else to do and turned it off.

What, you don't like ugly men in dresses cosplaying as heckin' valid women? Or an audience virtue signalling by shouting "let them cook" "free Palestine" and "Trans rights!" every five seconds for ass pats from mentally ill people? Why I never!

I used to watch this with my brother, even the VODs from time to time.

They purged the fun, got woke and impose everyone with whatever shit they wanted so it is now worth a watch. Is used to be cool: weird gaming nerd guys doing weird gaming nerd stuff.

My mind tunes as much as I can and I keep it on but on mute 90% of the time. I just want to watch some of the games but they are so mentally out there it's hard to overlook. Then again most of Twitch user base is crazy.

They even purged fan compilations on personal big channels, like R.U.S.H. Some people got highlights from fucking 2011, and now is kinda hard to see stuff like this

Instead of letting the fun happen, they want to regulate everything. Even thou they want a great thing, which is helping people with cancer, the means are shitty
 
It's a real shame that ESA doesn't get more views like GDQ. I spent last week watching and saw 1-2 crazies the entire week and had a great time watching that marathon that draws a fraction of what this does in a day. Hell there were more dudes in dresses in the sad Donkey Kong Jungle Beat game that they had to already start monster begging for donations right up to the last second bonus game on day 2 then the whole week of ESA. I loved the longer runs and people being able to talk while playing the game, GDQ at this point just invites twitch streamers with big-ish audiences so that they can try to milk every community instead of having some longer entertaining runs. There have been a couple good runs, but the amount of dudes in dresses has been staggering so far.
 
I used to religiously watch this until LGBT took control and made it insufferable to watch.

I prefer listening to japanese anime screeching over this and that says a lot.
