I only learned about the glory of speedrunning recently, after watching a few mario odyssey runs while I was learning to play the game casually. It blew my mind how many simple tricks the runners used to make everything smoother, and I was able to use a lot of those tricks to make my own game better! I immediately started to watch all kinds of different runs from GDQ, and I'm officially in love. This is my first live GDQ, and I love that we're opening up with a bunch of RPGs, because it gives me something to watch with my wife, who's a big RPG fan - while she doesn't have a ton of interest in speedruns generally, she enjoyed dragon age origins earlier today because it's one of her favorite series of games, and we're looking forward to divinity and hopefully skyrim tomorrow! Good luck to the runners, and keep being awesome!
