Trans Species Okapi I haven't hear much about it and since /r/samandtolki got banned I don't know about if thier was any drama.
I don't care that GDQ became more politically left-wing, mainly because I'm more left leaning than 99% of this website, but god darn it has become so corporate friendly and heckin wholesome, and you can't go 10 seconds without hearing unfunny donation messages.
Any good cringe, or drama?

It's been terrible.
No one is watching online, in person or on rdrama chat.
They still do remote runs and for some reason put them at peak times rather than 2am.
"I'm donating to support trans people in Gaza"
The inmates are running the asylum. It's gone full
and that's great and all but these aren't good 
s. I know it's rdrama and hurr durr 
, but holy shit some of these guys should be in an asylum. There are a lot of greasy neurodivergent men with long hair who are apparently women and you hear the phrase "trans rights" every few minutes in either a donation or from a runner.
Twitch chat is subscriber only. I'm not paying to comment! Although it's probably a good thing because I'd have been banned almost immediately anyway.
Interesting fact: last summer's GDQ event held in July 2023 required proof of vaccination and mandatory masking https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/12cx6l0/summer_games_done_quick_2023_will_require_proof/.
Interesting fact 2: all Harry Potter games are banned.

This is what I want from GDQ and really is what every run should aspire to in terms of quality.
Two professionals, the runner and the commenter, who meticulously practiced not only the game but how they would present the game to a live audience. No in-jokes, no weird nerd garbage, no dumb political poop, just two individuals demonstrating how to beat and game and highlighting exactly why what they are doing works. Don't just say "I'm just did the Greg's triple spaghetti backwards side jump" which is why things went weird for a second. Tell us in advance that you're going to do something, why you're setting up for it, and give a brief technical overview if possible for why this works. "X because Y" should be the default structure for every thing you say during the run.
I'm wondering if this run is so great because it's two normal dudes showing it off instead of the asylum neurodivergent
and 
stuff that happens too frequently. Speaking of, that's when I stopped watching, about the time when that one 
wrangled their way into being basically the full-time MC.

They'd probably need an army of jannies to clean up public chat.

No they ditched it for this year's January event. https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/12cx6l0/summer_games_done_quick_2023_will_require_proof/ was the last one with vax + masks.

What was the problem with that run? I didn't see it. It only takes one annoying person on the couch who talks too much and the entire run can be unwatchable.

The donations made it impossible for the actually decent casters to explain anything
