yet another level spoiler 

@noiob hee, no worries! thanks for the hint though!

i would have likely figured it out eventually, but that will save me a lot of death jumps

@tom ok google, remind me tomorrow to peruse possible punny pulpy puppy posts

another level spoiler 

@noiob ah! i figured it might have been that the first time i made it up there and didn't find anything, though after a quick sweep and not finding another tower i ended up thinking that i either:

a) needed to jump pretty far diagonally lower down the tower
b) or that i needed to activate something earlier in the level

i did b completely, and was working on a when i took that shot

level spoiler 

@noiob when you don't find anything at the top of the invisible block tower...

(oops)

@GlitterDisaster@snouts.online ohhhh! congrats, and enjoy those fireworks..!

remember that you're every bit as canadian as any of us are ^^

SGDQ wrap-up (long) 

I've been a speedrunner for almost a decade. It's the entire reason I ever cared about Twitch or streaming, it's the only reason I even cared about retro games. It grabbed a significant portion of my mindshare and effort for years before I stepped back a bit to do more behind the scenes stuff and casual gaming.

In that time I've seen GDQ grow so much, in size, scope, contribution, maturity... They've done a lot of work to try to improve in every way; they're not perfect. They have problems, and will continue to have problems. Sometimes it's hard to see the good when news of the bad travels so fast.

But looking at the past 8 hours... $3m raised for charity, a platform to let people gather and be unabashedly enthusiastic about what they love, a place to channel the desire to do good when maybe the spoons or the knowledge doesn't exist, a much needed uplifting light in the lives of a lot of people... I have to support that.

I'll, again, be vocal about the problems. A buncha people being vocal won changes a few years ago and GDQ has been markedly improved since.

This is a good thing, on the whole. It's important to a lot of people, in more ways than we can count. I'm glad it's here; I'm glad my tiny involvement in it is a thing.

I might be slightly emotional after that ridiculous ending.

@tom IT'S SO GOOD!! it just lines up with the percussion so well

and yeah, expert+ angel voices is really, really different from lower levels

hee, the diagonals kill me

@noiob we must remain vigilant in the face of these illegal memes

@noiob ah! i only ever had the 3ds version

is yamamura gone on the wii u..?

@noiob on the 3ds version, yamamura is almost always eating it and talking about how good it is

@noiob and as a bonus, it made me feel like eating more edamame, which is always a good thing~

@noiob ooh! i've been thinking of picking that up

i'm really feeling the mario aesthetic after the gdq mario block

@tom oh yeah, when you miss one block in a stream, it basically just transforms into a pain train

my biggest weakness is when i let things get into my head, like if i'm doing well, i get nervous and fix that

@tom this was my favorite article when it was first written

i didn't even know having a favorite article was a thing! but here we are..! ^^'

@tom we're talking things that literally made valve rethink what was humanly possible in their sanity checks for steamvr
