bev! @TonicBH@computerfairi.es

I keep getting cocky as I progress through levels in Deus Ex and that leads me to dying and my last save being like several minutes ago.

Screw that, I ain't got time to redo all that.

@KS Like last year there was a North American Speedrunning event that was smaller but had nothing but edgelords and people doing dumb memes like it was 4chan culture and it was garbage.

Bonus: Some of the runners were people who got banned from GDQ for being dumbasses during it.

@KS I get what you mean, but sadly when you're as big as GDQ is now, you're basically covering your own ass the entire event so you don't piss off sponsors or the charity.

A more "friendlier" gathering would have to be a smaller event, but that leads to the edgelord problem you mentioned.

Seems to counter the subscription stuff, someone just rebroadcasted AGDQ just so you can relive the shitty Twitch chat experience without paying.

why someone would want to do this is beyond me.

Thought there was some local meetup thing today but there apparently isn't.

Man, I was hoping to head out today :/

On more amusing news, I got a spam email about some lottery and I was supposed to email it to a guy named John Freeman.

AGDQ's coming up and I feel conflicted.

Man I wish I could enjoy speedruns these days but unless we weed out the assholes amongst the community they're just gonna get worse. SGDQ was pretty bad at that.

I mean, it's a problem when the #1 rule of watching a GDQ is "don't read the Twitch chat."

@squirrel since they treated protomagicalgirl's harassment with indifference and no statements at the last GDQ, I agree with you.

Speedrunning culture still has a long way to go before it's *not* a piece of shit.

Stuck in my head this morning: Phish's Llama.

Make it stop

@squirrel it me

(or you. or both! both sounds good.)

I just listened to an "Over 9000" Sparta remix from 2011 and I feel like people making Sparta remixes of new memes needs to be A Thing(tm) again.

Just imagine the "SOMEBUDDY TUCH MY SPAGHETT" set to this tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWg6no8vELs

spaghet but it's done like those "epic remix" remixes from ten years ago

Had a strange conversation with my dad where he was messaging some random gal who followed him and was asking him to go on Google Hangouts to "exchange pictures."

Never thought *I* would have to tell my dad about sketchy messages on the internet...

@squirrel Thank god I never touched those areas. Probably nothing but raw sewage these days.

Somehow I have the urge to write about something that came up after I finished playing a game.

Man where was this inspiration last year?!
