AGDQ 2019 |OT| You've met with a terrible run, haven't you?

But does it come from a run or something?
It's such a shame the TAS block has been a miss this AGDQ, it's usually one of my favorite parts of this event, but this is pretty bad.
From a data viz perspective I'm shocked that they actually used a Pie Chart at the cost of the text being unreadable.
Yesterday's Wind Waker run (including SPLOOSH and KABOOM). [EDIT: Apparently the Orb isn't from WW?]

Making one choice significantly more absurd than the others is kind of creating the illusion of choice. It's obvious which choice Twitch chat will go for.
Yeah, while this is obviously hugely impressive on a technical level (and has drawn massive audience participation), it's not all that entertaining to watch, unfortunately.
It really isnt. And the guy in the green sweat jacket is way too loud.
Edit: He is still screaming...
Thank you!
EDIT: Seems like no one really knows, LOL. Was it from Virtual Hydlide? That's where I first saw it...
At least if they used strawpoll in the screen we'd be able to read the actual results.
Wind Waker was a symptom, not the cause. Half Coordinated did a run of a game where the goal was to get orbs, that's where I saw it first this GDQ, but no idea if it actually was the first.
No, it was from before the Celeste run too.
We've had this conversation during previous GDQs. "It's not for you," was what someone told me when I complained.
I get what they're saying. There are people out there who are into this. That's cool. I am impressed at the technical achievement. Obviously the GDQ staff think it's worth bringing back every year. Chat is into it.
So I just mentally tune out most of tasblock, tbqh.

the orb meme is from halfcoordinated's run of Semblance, where he had to collect all the orbs and they shouted ORB every time he collected one iirc
edit: whoops i'm blind and that was answered already. but yeah i agree the scribblenauts wasn't very entertaining and the screaming was a bit grating, but an interesting idea in concept! running that castlevania run via emulator was weird as well but that one was crazy so i'll allow it LOL

Orb is originally from Super Mario World. The orb you collect at the end of the ghost ship, specifically.
140+ hours of content over the course of a week, there is going to be stuff that some people like and others don't. You can always wait till next week and just watch what you want to and skip the bits you don't. Or do what I do and just run it in the background and give it focus when something catches my ears or eyes. Just gotta take the highs with the lows when you watch it live.
The last 48 hours are when the high rollers come out, including the big donations from the sponsors (partially because that's when Yetee gets their last minute T-shirt sales in).
Yesss. He was going for an "orb!" too so it was kind of ironic.
Seems they each have a touchscreen to mark squares themselves.
I'm assuming from the stream image that they can't both claim the same square? Or can they but the image only marks one color?
Then what happens if they both get 12 simultaneously? At that point they can go for a square the other one already marked? Even if they themselves have already finished the requirement a while ago?
I see a barrier between them. If they can't see each other does that mean they can't see which squares the other has marked? So many questions! :D
I think they can see which squares are marked. The reason the have the barrier is so they can't see what the other is currently going for. To prevent constant counter-play.
