Peanut Butter the dog will be doing his speedrun in about an hour!
I wonder if it will have a classic single player mode
here's a good video essay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxOKEsBx4NU Ross's Game Dungeon: Deus Ex
and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgJazjz9ZsA Deus Ex: Human Revolution is FINE, And Here's Why
I feel the same way about the prequels, but I think the original game is the best game ever made.
I would suggest against GMDX for a first time playthrough, it changes A LOT. From the aesthetics, to the gameplay, to the sounds, the mood, the feel of the game, and the viable approaches in each level, there's so much that's changed it just isn't the same game anymore.
You're much better off with the Vanilla Fixer tool, Transcended, or Zero Rando (I'm the dev). You could also use Revision and toggle every setting to vanilla, but make sure you also disable the HDTP models, and disable Shifter and Biomod too, and definitely set the maps to vanilla.

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
we've got a megathread for discussion over at !speedrun@sh.itjust.works - https://programming.dev/post/16201685
but maybe there will be more discussion here instead?
anyways, it's live now, HYPE! https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

Agreed lol, and Threads
Semi off topic, but isn't the subscriber count badge useless now since Lemmy fixed their reporting of that?
The problem is this dilutes the comments.
If you have 2 posts and one of them has a comment, people might see that comment and join in on the conversation, also the human OP gets a notification about the comment and is likely to reply. What Lemmy needs is more comments not more posts.
But with bot posts you have 1000 posts and maybe 1 of them has a comment but no one will ever see it, people will see the community has lots of posts but no comments and that isn't interesting, it's just a glorified RSS feed at that point.
Communities are supposed to be comprised of people not bots. The Google definition of "community":
