This is a super impressive feat of memory.
Yes.
Yup.
Oh, no doubt.

Setup took longer than the runs lol.

Yeah, at first I was thinking there was no way. Then I realized it must be a pattern and that is still equally impressive. That is nuts.

Why's this the end for TGM tho?
Wait, I missed them saying why it was their last. Something about no new game?
Is there some limit on games being featured that they can't be in too many GDQs in a row?
If its the players' choice to stop coming, then I understand. If it's a GDQ thing, they're nuts to cut a popular block.

wait why no more Tetris?(((((((
There's not a whole lot else they can showcase from the games. Maybe if they could get one of the top Japanese players to come to a gdq.
I don't believe there's a limit based on a game but there may be something based on category/run type. Super Metroid is consistently at gdqs but that's probably because kill/save is a staple and they can change categories and do races.
i could watch this every year tho

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
One reason is that, earlier this year, KevinDDR said he was completely burnt out on TGM and retiring from the game. AFAIK the only reason he's played it at all recently is for SGDQ prep.

They could do NES tetris, that game is mad hard to master.
I guess this is just the end of the road for the TGM block for a while.

Notch isn't watching or donating this year because he's unhappy with Twitch or something.
I'm trying to watch as many Kevin's streams as possible (timezones make it hard, tho) and I'm still excited for the GDQ exhibitions.
How would this benefit Twitch's bits system? Aren't the GDQ's donations separate from it?

Notch is an irrational, all around horrible human being. Best not to look for logic in his dumb protest.

That's a beyond dickish move.
Choosing to not donate to a charity that does amazing work for the world because of a new monetization system on Twitch is absurd.
But it's Notch, so I'm not surprised he's being a big stick in the mud.
There is no relation between Twitch's bit system and GDQ. The only remotely related bit is that GDQ is streamed on Twitch and Twitch is an official sponsor.
Notch has simply decided that hurting a charity is worth elevating an issue he finds important. He has also said that he feels that this position is a success because people are talking about it.
Well, I guess I'm talking about it but the only conclusion I've reached is that he's a giant dick.
Notch has really done his best to become an awful person.

What? Unless Twitch earns money from GDQ donations, this is a huge leap in logic. Claiming he's holding 30K hostage from Doctors Without Borders because of Twitch bits isn't a good look.

Money changes people, and Notch is one of the biggest examples of that. I like how he constantly uses the "I grew up poor" excuse as an excuse, too.
Also none of us are talking about bits. We're talking about how Notch politicizing a good cause that itself is founded on not being politicized is the most dick thing you can do.
