Oh no
They're... really not having any luck with this last batch of mystery games

They had to abandon one because of a game breaking bug
Now on this one, the game's speed is dependent on framerate

Wow, two completely unrelated people, racing a game neither had ever seen before, just finished so close that they don't actually know who won and have to go back to review the videos to be sure.

Basically, a bunch of speedrunners play a bunch of obscure games they've never seen before

SRL Mystery Tournament starting up again like... right now on the GDQ channel!

Someone tweeted "Slaty Egret" but I read it as "Salty Egret" and felt kinda called out

There was something kind of quirky and endearing about old, poorly translated games from the SNES(-ish) area. Like, you could still usually tell what they meant, but it was never QUITE right.

"You spoony bard!"

Whoa! I love that leopard gecko pattern on a cat

My only option to get it to stop squawking loudly at me for some reason I can't figure out (again, does not even have a battery bay) was to turn off the power and remove it completely.

Forcing me to totally disable the unit is OBVIOUSLY preferable to just letting me silence it.

Ah yes, very good that my smoke detector, which is hardwired into my apartment ceiling, has decided to start chirping loudly at 10pm. This is going to help me sleep.

The silence button does nothing. I don't have a 9v battery, and it doesn't have a battery bay anyway??

There's a GDQ Mystery Torunament on now. Where they throw players into games they've never seen before in blind races until they have a winner! It's pretty alright.

You know, I don't really know what the actual real-world, practical pros/cons are for semi-independent political regions like states or provinces inside a larger country, but they sure have been used a lot lately to decide that certain types of people aren't people.

Oops, I accidentally napped until it was dark outside again.
What even is daylight?

There's a Shining Force CD speedrun stream on now, and I appreciate that the strategy seems to be "make the bird person as ridiculously OP as possible"

I accept that cat grass is gonna mean SOME messes to clean up, but eating the entire pot in one night and turning it into FIVE pukes isn't something we can keep doing :(

Show thread

I think the cat grass experiment is over on account of my cat being an idiot who, as long as cat grass is available, will do nothing but eat cat grass until he gets sick and throws it up.

And then eats more cat grass. And throws it up again.
And then eats more... and so on.

On stream (paraphrased): we're sorry setup is taking so long, I guess windows got an update earlier today, so now that's happening

I feel like this is the quintessential Windows 10 experience. "Someone, somewhere decided to change something and now absolutely nothing works"

deltarune 

Oh huh, the cliffs in DELTARUNE were actually the supply closet in the real world, weren't they? That's why they were so different than the rest of the world. Not sure what to make of the eyeballs, the goopy black ooze, and the Glowshard though.

The door you pass through to enter the fields region is actually the door on the left hand side of the classroom...?
