It’s official! #AGDQ2023 will be taking place online January 8th-15th!
— Games Done Quick (@GamesDoneQuick) September 7, 2022
While we would love to return in-person, we’ve determined that to provide a safe and welcoming event to all it was best that we move away from our originally planned location in Florida.
See thread below.
imagine still caring about covid lmfaoooo

I have to assume the trans
virtue signaling is the real reason, but even they know 
that comes off as a bit much so they throw 
in the covid 
comment first.

Is there videos of r-slurs who go to Florida to say "gay" in front of cops expecting a reaction?

As a Floridian, if you even mummer ‘gay’ under your breath, the DeSantis alligator-bots will notify the police who will enter your house at night and execute you. It’s horribe

It's somehow amazing how these r-slurs get more boring and worse every year. I'm always like, "Could this be any worse? It's legit impossible" but somehow they always manage to do it.

These guys are insane. Citing Covid as a primary reason for moving an event for young people in 2023? Their viewer counts dropped off a cliff for the online-only events.

No, It's because they fear being flayed personally by Sheik DeathSentence of Floristan

GDQ is a parody of itself. Meanwhile ESA has been in person
for a year, 
I think?

I can understand that they'd do some LGBT grandstanding, but why mention Covid at all, never mind first? They're fricking insane.
They could implement their own mask mandate and testing inside the venue, so who cares what the state law is? No state is going to be requiring masks in 2023.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Because they know that boycotting a state over a law that doesn't even do what they claim it does would probably do more harm than good to "the movement" if that was the primary reason. If it's mostly about Covid people are quite literally not allowed to criticize that.
Also, what does it say that they were willing to host in FL before this bill? This isn't the first controversial thing Ronny D's done; does that mean they were implicitly supporting the other stuff but trains was where the line got drawn?

GDQ has been dead
for years since all the (literal) neurodivergents in charge 
of it trained out and started doing random shit 
and banning donors, subscribers, and even irl event goers and runners for doing anything remotely (to them) wrong 
The fact that this is in any way newsworthy to you people is shocking

Only surprised that this shitshow didn’t happen sooner. I’m still convinced you must be a certain level of neurodivergent to be a speedrunner at all, much less a good one

It's the most neurodivergent hobby. I say that as a tabletop warg*mer. There's something completely unhinged about speedrunners.

I wouldn't care if AGDQ ended entirely. I've seen some good runs from the event but every donation message is so cringe.

The only speed runners worth watching are the ones who have enough interesting to say and to keep the cringe donation comments at bay. Even then they'll get interrupted by the
s running the stream.

My favorite are the ones who play a game nobody gives a shit about, and then halfway through the game they get mad and shout "I NEED SERIOUS TIME"

Kind of insane to cancel what is supposedly a charity event over some petty bullshit while also asking the community and viewers to foot the bill for the cancellation. It's not like they donate and sub for the money to go the (shitty) charity or anything.

I think they just find it more convenient (as in the organizers work less) and they save some money on operational cost that they would otherwise have to spend on staff.
