A pair of friends of mine’s game is being featured, and I’m pretty stoked about their game getting the exposure. Cassette Beasts, Monday at 13:18 UTC.

LallyLuckFarm,

That’s awesome! I’ll have to check it out for sure

LallyLuckFarm,

That. Was. Adorable. What a cute game!

comicallycluttered,

Tell your friends I fucking loved their game and can never go back to Pokémon again because they’ve absolutely spoiled me.

Also, tell them 70% of my time ended up with me playing as Khufo and using Wonderful 7 far, far too much. Love that design (I didn’t even realise it wasn’t the default Allseer transformation until I looked online later).

Tunic was fun. Monkey Ball was pure adrenaline.

Looking forward to Sonic Adventure 2 and Metroid Dread. Oh, and Elden Ring.

The donkey Kong runs have been great so far! It’s great to have AGDQ back live in person again.

That opening run of Tunic was great! It’s such a great game — nice to see it get some more exposure.

Edit: Spelling

Honestly I might check it out but they rarely seem to play games I’m interested in (first person shooters) and their management style gives me the ick. Very very puritanical over the most minor things.

LallyLuckFarm,

That’s fair, I went and stacked the firewood I split during the monkeyball run cuz they’re not really my jam.

I’ll admit I’m unsure what you’re referring to with the management style but I’m sad they give you the ick, and I hope you don’t feel pressed to expand if you don’t feel like it

bermuda,

This is a good video on the topic While I personally can very much see why they’ve banned some runners, I just can’t see why for others. I don’t agree with everything the youtuber says but it’s very compelling.

In short, the organization just seems very quick to blow minor mishaps way out of the water. They seem to enjoy treating their customers and their fanbase as children, and instead of letting people work out their own differences as the adults they are, they like to step in and handle it themselves. Sometimes this goes well, but most of the time it doesn’t.

Basically, the way they run the event just tends to cause drama and it doesn’t look like they’ll be changing anytime soon. I enjoy the runners and the runs, but the event organizers clearly have a lot of issues going on. There’s a reason you just don’t see this kind of drama with ESA.

LallyLuckFarm,

I appreciate you taking the time to respond and giving me an avenue to educate myself about some of the behind the scenes goings on - thank you.

(I had to go chop wood for an extra cozy watch)

TUNIC is up around the top of my list, but I’m also looking forward to the Mario showcases and the MegaMan 8 run. Fingers crossed for marathon luck during the pokemon crystal rando run, and for Shenanigans to pick another fight with chat.

(I’m loving watching the dev’s face during TUNIC)

frank,

Okay tunic was better than I expected. The beta area and Dev commentary is so cool. What a wild game with so much speed running inclusion

chloyster, do gaming w AGDQ 2024 starts in less than two hours

I’m excited for the Mario maker glitch showcase!

LallyLuckFarm,

Those are always so much fun, and I always end up trying to replicate the more approachable ones so I can be the “cool” uncle

I’m so stoked that TUNIC is starting it off

LallyLuckFarm,

YES!

I haven’t forgiven them for banning Bonesaw577 after his legendary Jak and Daxter run at SGDQ2016.

ozoned,

Why’d they ban him? Just watched the end and it sounds like they all expected to be banned.

ryven,
@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s not super clear, but probably for ignoring directions from the organizers who tried to get him to stop impersonating Owen Wilson (for some reason) and stop telling people to tweet @AirCanada.

I think the ban has run out and he can submit runs again by now, but these are the kind of petty grudges I like to hold!

simple,

I remember that run, that was really fun.

They’ve been pretty corporate since around 2016 but I feel like they stopped being so strict lately. The past few years have been fun, no major drama IIRC and they’ve gotten more chill in general.

I remember the crowd made a walauigi dying sound and a narrator said something about jumping in front of a bus. I started watching GDQ in 2015.

Sone of those people beat games I never got around to beating.

Can only get you halfway there with Awful Games Done Quick

thank you for the list of evil pigs in video games

curiousPJ, do games w Awesome Games Done Quick starts tomorrow!

I haven’t watched one of these in years now.

Which runs/races are y’all looking forward to?

There is a literal DOG doing a speedrun of Gyromite on Tuesday

youtu.be/IvShUE5zIXE?si=uWRhqoiiCXvIu14g

Also any Doom game is always worth watching! Also Donkey Kong or Sonic games

And the awful games block is always hilarious, I think starting Wednesday night / Thursday morning with Beetlejuice, and running all the way to Skator Gator 3D, I know Virtual Hydlide is a funny one in there, and Skull Island: Rise of Kong is one of the newest games ever featured in an awful games block

The schedule is a bit easier to read and Ctrl+f here: horaro.org/agdq/2024

ozoned,

Tunic, The Typing of the Dead, Pitfall, Worms Reloaded, Cassette Beasts, Legend of Zelda, TMNT Aracde, Bluey, SMB2 USA, TASBot, Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Kirby, Castlevania 3, Celeste, Super Mario Maker 2, SMB Wonder, Mario Kart 64, SMB Lost Levels, Lies of P, BG3.

And I plan on waking up early for tbcr’s Fort BOyard: The Challenge. Former coworker of mine and just enjoy his runs and the silliness it brings. Yourself?

@Die4Ever@programming.dev avatar

Worms speedruns in the past have been really cool, definitely looking forward to that. And Mario 2 is always amazing.

hushable, do games w Awesome Games Done Quick starts tomorrow!

I’m glad they’re back to in person events, their online stuff didn’t kept my interest over the past couple of years.

Looking forward to this event

InquisitiveApathy,

I agree. It never really felt like there was anything to differentiate the agdq and sgdq events from their daily shows while everything was remote. It just never felt the same without everyone playing on the couch.

MrGerrit,

The only thing that was fun to see were mostly the vr stuff for me. You normally don’t see that during a in person event.

But yeah, in person is way better. I can’t wait for it to start!

hushable,

and the rhythm games, I really enjoyed the Pump it Up and In The Groove showcases

cottonmon,
@cottonmon@lemmy.world avatar

I liked the online events because it was easier for them to get runners from around the world to participate. Also, I think the rhythm game showcases would have never happened without the online-only GDQs.

chiliedogg,

They do online programming all week these days, and there’s something special about the in-perwon energy.
