I had a completely different experience watching the summer speed run showcase and fundraiser this past few days, so much love and support for positive things. I just wish I could get over my own nervousness and insecurities and try streaming myself, speedrun or not.
Meanwhile over on Reddit games there is constant removed that they’re was too much politics in the donations and they just wanted the games to be played without all that politics in the show.
Gaming is a bunch of different nerdy subcultures in a trench coat, many of them really chill, some of them really toxic. Most speedrunning, indie, retro, and modding communities in particular are cool. There’s also a “gamer” culture that insists that it’s the only one and it owns all the cool things in these subcultures without participating in them, which is mostly focused on recent and upcoming AAA games, and it is just the most toxic horseshit there is. But those people actually don’t interact with smaller gaming cultures despite insisting they own the umbrella, so you’re unlikely to run into them outside of AAA gaming spaces, large twitch streams, and reddit.
yeah SGDQ was incredible this year, just a perfect showcase of the creativity and community that games can foster. I was hooting and hollering during the kaizo race.
