I always forget this shit exists until it’s on. Side note, I don’t necessarily think SGDQ is to blame for the declined interest, I just think most people don’t care for speed runs anymore.
Nobody ever really cared for speedruns. It’s always been a niche hobby.
Early days of twitch I think most big channels were speed runners of some sort like binding of Isaac
Pretty much. It’s not something most of my circle of casual gamers know about. Even the hardcore gamers don’t watch live and usually catch a recording of something specific.
I miss the older marathons. Everything was in person, which I feel had better energy. And the runs were simpler. I don’t really like 4-way races, or controller passing whatever. It’s all a gimmick as far as I’m concerned. I like paying attention to the games and how skilled the runners are.
this is in person
I agree about some gimmicks like 2 players 1 controller, or playing games with a dance pad or whatever, they seem difficult but still feel like gimmicks to me
4-way races are ok if you’re familiar with the game and speedrun already, but otherwise hard to watch
we’ve got a megathread for discussion over at !speedrun@sh.itjust.works - programming.dev/post/16201685
but maybe there will be more discussion here instead?
anyways, it’s live now, HYPE! www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick
Hell yeah. I always catch as much as I can live and watch the rest over the next couple weeks.
Peanut Butter the dog will be doing his speedrun in about an hour!
last day :(
