@gsuberland @iximeow

it's a balancing act, gdq doesn't stop to explain what a backwards long jump is each and every timeā€”in this instance, the first level shown was a 0 a-press level, and they only started explaining what 0.5a presses was when it came up in the level, which isn't the best

but there isn't a lot of time to front load explanations, and there's often something else going on too

and again, it isn't "went viral once" / "one video"


@tef @iximeow it took them until 8 minutes and 30 seconds into the run (plus pre run intro time) to say the phrase "no A presses".

it would have been a three sentence explanation at the start. they just didn't explain at all.

@gsuberland i doubt you care, but for posterity, here's some context youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A


@tef oh no I love a good deep dive, that's exactly my jam

but like... "here's our TAS! it does a thing very slowly and we aren't going to explain the point or the rules" is not a very good fit for a GDQ audience

@gsuberland it's almost a bit of a meme in the speedrun community, fwiw


@tef that would be fine if it didn't result in a really dull TAS segment due to lack of context

@gsuberland on one hand they've left the post up, after a hasty tweet followup saying "we have just only seen the hate crimes" and on the other hand they've left the post up, etc
