I always forget this shit exists until it’s on. Side note, I don’t necessarily think SGDQ is to blame for the declined interest, I just think most people don’t care for speed runs anymore.

I miss the older marathons. Everything was in person, which I feel had better energy. And the runs were simpler. I don't really like 4-way races, or controller passing whatever. It's all a gimmick as far as I'm concerned. I like paying attention to the games and how skilled the runners are.

this is in person

I agree about some gimmicks like 2 players 1 controller, or playing games with a dance pad or whatever, they seem difficult but still feel like gimmicks to me

4-way races are ok if you're familiar with the game and speedrun already, but otherwise hard to watch
