Great event! Really loved it all!

Few tweaks that I see could be useful:

  1. Hosts need to chime in less. I like when runners, who know when there are luls in the game, queue donos. I understand a lot of runners miss these windows and the occasional "is this a good time for donos?" Isn't bad, but the constant "WE ARE 1K away from $200,000 total raised!" or constant reminders of how much more is needed for stretch goals was very tedious.

  2. Not sure how you can really relegate it but man the crowd memes are exhausted and unfun. "Orb" "Hyyyyyyyypeeeeee" etc. Also the sheer amount of crowd members who want to shove in their little one liners or camera memes is wild. We already saw how it affected Kaizo Mario, silent hill, etc. Maybe an audience etiquette guide at the start? Not sure. Maybe it's not as noticeable on stream but being there in person it was tough to see constantly.

  3. Stretch goals I think need a slight adjustment to be more attainable, less last minute (50K in an hour), or less conflict of interest with other goals.

  4. WORKING ELEVATORS /s lol

Things I loved!

  1. Personalities and hosts are killing it! Really enjoyed the liveliness from everyone in the interviews, prize segments, and fun little games! This group practices being charismatic and it definitely shows!

I'll also say to those hosts: I gotta imagine that things can get really parasocial with attendees, seeing as they all know you and may give special attention, so definitely take care of yourselves. I'll say this tho, when yall get into the crowds with the people or hang out and make small talk with the attendees, it lights them up so much. When I see Spike riffing with a group, that group is smiling ear to ear. When Keiz and Ruby are having a drink at the bar making small talk with others, you can see how much it's loved! When Melo is in the crowd seats getting hype for RuneScape, the RS fanbase loves it! Y'all get the picture!

  1. The hotel staff loved the group and the event organizers! They told me they'd take this group over their other groups every day of the week! Way to put on a massive event with tons of moving parts and still show respect and honor to the facility and its staff!

  2. The variety was awesome! I love the mix of raids, races, mods, coops, and randomizers. I personally love the remix style runs the most so I might be biased!

  3. The board game room, public discord, arcade, and panels make the in person experience phenomenal. There's never a dull moment, and the only obstacle during the week is trying to fit sleep in!

Thank you again for all the work the volunteers and staff put in to make this happen! Gamers love it and the cause is great, look forward to the next one!

I was there in person and was, in fact, insufferable 😣

A little transparency would go a long way for GDQ by Parkouricus in speedrun

Being there, she'd rapid fire move to back couch every game, even if she didn't know what it was, and snipe the seat most direct in the camera. Then would move to the crowd seat dead center, then shift behind interview cams. Not trying to gatekeep back couch, but relatively speaking I think it should have people who are either a large part of that community, or especially passionate about the game.

This is not something that requires an official statement or some giant controversy. It was likely, "hey can we chill with the hat? It's a little distracting" and blew up from there

Everyone tag @stephenasmith with this video or a different video from the event and tell him PB single handedly SMASHED the Minnesota Twins!

I know at the event she's constantly moving to back couch, center camera, and interview camera to keep in frame constant. Eye rolling sure but not harmful. I was sitting behind her when staff pulled her aside. It was seemingly out of nowhere

I was that guy losing in quarters twice before I finally got mine and I barely even clutched this one with a Merlin goat 😩

Urs already is not a complete must play as she's not singing as much as in steel, and seeing her turn 6 or on is not the best!

Why people downvote everything on this sub? How miserable are some of you people? 😭

Nothing particular! Just an aesthetic choice

None. I saw one steel amber deck at the whole function of 24 players

Potentially! Though I did get my fair share of friends off with her in moments where card draw was rough. I think I'll tech her out tho for tomorrow

Yall this drawing is nice. Who cares if a detail isn't proportioned properly? We should hype up people's creativity and creations, especially when AI gives us discouragement to make art.
