gdq deserves shit views and low discussion, it's a pozzed invitational to big up the worst fags in gaming gdq kept reaching down rankings to pull commies, faggots, and trannies up and out of obscurity, and into gdq streams, until this clown gallery became synonymous with it when most speedrunners are unlike this, or opposite this, such as the-elite.net because of this and the twigged egos of unaccomplished onlookers with dunning-kruger, speedrunning discussion on imageboards always degenerates into jealous mockers of speedrunners in general. speedrunners in general are unlike gdq invitees, and are more ambitious, capable, intelligent, and successful people than the mockers in every sphere, since success at very competitive endeavors demonstrably translates sideways remember the nature of jealous mockers as you read

>>1058581 Identifying as LGBTQ is a bigger trend among 18-29s. The American Values Atlas (AVA), throughout 2023, interviewed more than 22,000 adults and found 22% of young Americans from 18-29 years old, or 1 in 4.5 of them, identify as LGBTQ. 18-29s show up more for speed events than Generation X or the Baby Boomers. Though GDQ coordinators may invite people not representative of the speed population to inflate their image and infiltrate that hobby, trends among 18-29s will surface too.

>>1058585 Do note that "LGBTQ" is extremely broad and can include everything from being intersex to being aromantic. When people on this board see LGBTQ they often think "transgender" when that's really only 0.7% of the population. Of that 22% in the survey, 15 percentage points - near 70% of the group - were bisexuals. <speedrunning thread immediately turns into queer discussion

Here are the only related webms I have Anyone have the "dial 8" webm?

>>1058590 The >>1058581 comment is, presumably, about LGBTQ: >the worst fags in gaming. gdq kept reaching down rankings to pull commies, faggots, and trannies up and out of obscurity, and into gdq streams, until this clown gallery became synonymous with it when most speedrunners are unlike this, or opposite this Transgenders are over 0.7% of the 18-29 population, and 18-29s show up more for speed events than Generation X or the Baby Boomers. A survey of U.S. adults conducted in 2022 on Pew Research Center clocks 5.1% of ages 18-29 as transgender or nonbinary, or 1 in 20 of them.

>>1058585 >>1058590 >Do note that "LGBTQ" is extremely broad and can include everything from being intersex to being aromantic. No, it doesn't. "LGBTQ" is a classification that only exists to protect the T and Q letters, so that they can declare that hating trannies and Queers for being obnoxious political activists means that you "also" hate fags.

Speed running subject's so ruined by culture warriors, left and right, that discussing here is a fool's errand so I'll be short. Always liked speed runs, especially Summoning Salt's videos. Man tells a hell of a story. Wish I gamed like those dudes, glitchless or low-glitch categories are sick.

>>1058601 >Speed running subject's so ruined by culture warriors, left and right, that discussing here is a fool's errand so I'll be short. Only on this board, and only because of GDQ. You can talk about speedrunning on the rest of the internet just fine.

>>1058601 >summoning salt I like his videos too. Especially that musical sting/tune he plays when shit's about to get real. Karl Jobst also does a good job explaining speedruns and stuff, and his lawsuit with Billy Mitchell stuff is hilarious.

>>1058605 Billy Mitchell acts like an annoying, disingenuous shitposter you'd find here like GC. It's very funny to see a guy like that get demolished in the real world because actual courts do not put up with that bullshit. Didn't The Completionist also threaten to sue him for reporting on his charity fraud? I think he bitched out because Jobst said he'd release more, far more incriminating dirt on his family.

>>1058608 >charity fraud That's why GDQ exists, BTW. Charities GDQ "donates to" pay GDQ, from donations, to "run" (enrich) GDQ while GDQ claims it's nonprofit.

>>1058572 Does anyone actually care about AGDQ? It's become a shadow of its former self, especially after all the commies kicked out the people who were actually interested in the hobby.

>>1058605 >Karl Jobst I've come to find him annoying over time. He takes speedrunning way too seriously. >>1058608 The whole Billy Mitchel thing is just a huge tempest in a teapot. Imagine being full of holy wrath against someone just because he's not quite as good at Donkey Kong as he claimed to be, at the exact moment he claimed to be. Fucking Donkey Kong. I get dunking on him because he's sort of a self important douche but I don't get the speedrunning commentators on youtube going on a crusade against the guy.

>>1058642 Billy's a chad. Rickey's World Famous Restaurant made Billy a millionaire. Rich, famous, smart, connected, married, icon. His Twitch proves he's better at Donkey Kong now than in King of Kong, and he's a Donkey Kong Jr, Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man, BurgerTime, and Centipede pro. He fucks, has kids. And fucks up his rivals, in games and life. Billy's not hated for his mistake. Billy's hated because Billy's hot shit, and Billy knows it. That pisses off people who aren't hot shit.

>>1058666 He still sued a kid's cartoon for making fun of him.

>>1058666 I'm not sure how much you're shitposting and how much you're being genuine but I pretty much agree with >His Twitch proves he's better at Donkey Kong now than in King of Kong, and he's a Donkey Kong Jr, Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man, BurgerTime, and Centipede pro. See the thing I get out of speedrunning is the possibilities and the limits of what the game will allow. That's why I like challenge runs, glitch runs and TAS's. I really do not give a fuck about the E-sports aspect of it or exact rule scoring and shit like that. If someone wants to demonstrate their competency or mastery of a on camera that's cool and I like to see it and I'll cheer for them too but I don't put a whole lot of stock in that part of speedrunning beyond that. After all it's trivial to become the best runner in some arbitrary category they made up themselves in some game that a grand total of 5 people remember let alone still play. >>1058672 Yes, he's a self important ass. No one denies this. I think he got pissed off at the midget version of him in Pixels too. Ironically that midget is an even bigger self important ass.

>>1058677 >After all it's trivial to become the best runner in some arbitrary category they made up themselves in some game that a grand total of 5 people remember let alone still play. that's trivial and gay but some games have 1000s of records i looked up donkeykongforum.net apparently it got 624 good fuckin luck topping that

>people unironically supporting Billy Mitchel <BRO BILLY'S A CHAD BRO This board has gotten so needlessly contrarian.

>>1058704 >(1) Retard That aside, contrarianism is an obnoxious problem here.

>>1058666 Mitchell's like Trump or Musk, a "cool asshole" Reddit hates. Big dick energy.

>>1058780 >t. microdick support group

>>1058780 bad bait, trying too hard. sage

>>1058581 >>1058572 anyone has that webm of zelda speedrun with donations?

>>1058685 I wanna top you.

>>1058787 This one? >>1058791 Anon please! This is a speedrunning thread, you can't post hot girls here!

>>1058572 >Suicidal faggots and other mentally ill freaks The thread.

>>1058605 Bismuth also does a good job making videos about speed runs. https://www.youtube.com/@Bismuth9

I want to see some good TAS stuff. Anyone got any videos?

>>1058997 AlmostMatt's Doom 2 TAS is mesmerizing if you've ever played the game. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=MzuJCMV4sK8 The video is short enough that somebody better than me at compression could probably upload it.

a nice
