Awesome Games Done Quick 2024 - Page 54 - Video Games

yeah. GTA is tonight, primetime, though closer to primetime in Pacific time. I'm scheduled to read donations for the 3 games after Vice City. Trials Evolution, Pilotwings 64 and Bomberman 64. My voice is pretty ****ing shot though so I don't know how I'll fair.

dang, if you were on donations for VC i'd clearly have donated $1.12 for #gta shoutouts

I've been fairly disappointed with a lot of things with this particular AGDQ. But finding out that LttP is now at a time I can see it and likely just be walking in from happy hour makes me extremely happy.

I don't think so. NP problems are basically impossibly hard to solve when the problem gets to a huge size, and in the case of Tetris (at least what I'm interpreting reading the summary of that paper) that size is "when figuring out how to best employ x number of pieces in order for a really huge number x". However, since the player is only aware of a small number of pieces at any one time, I can't imagine a computer would have any difficulty figuring out how to play optimally when taking into account only the same information that a normal human player would have.

LttP is Link to the Past and my third or fourth most played console game and one that I've drunkenly streamed from time to time(chuckles might remember the hour long RNG mess that digging up the piece of hear was, lol).

I think its the perfect ARPG type game that Zelda is and still has not been topped as a Zelda for me personally though I know many people feel OOT is much better.

The best vid you will see from the event this year.

Stiv still holds the finger-mashing record from SGDQ though!

I can't believe just how awful the "primetime" slots have been this year. I love this event so much and this year just seems really bad in general to me. Maybe my curmudgeonism is now getting into video games.

Ninja Gaiden from today was insane 3 game team races where no one got more than ~5sec ahead and were fighting final boss at same time

Tetris master m stands up there with the best agdq/sgdq moments

Vice City buried at 2:44 AM is flat-out insane. I wonder if the schedulers got a severe case of fancy play syndrome

Just downloaded TGM2 and could only make it to 299. It's really hard not being able to spin at them at the bottom.

What's considered 'prime time' for an event that is being watched all over the world?

I mean maybe I'm overestimating but I'd assume (welp) that they do research into viewing demographics.

Since it's a fundraising event, I hope it's fair to say that prime time is 6PM-11PM of whatever timezone is the centroid of the largest sources of donations. I'd like to think that USA has been putting up the most money, but I'm not sure if that's true.
