I love how OSRS players are once again proving that the inevitable next step after accomplishing something big in a video game is "do it again but fast"
Alright, this is where I'm leaving Grid Master. Fun couple days, but I have no interest in doing the awakened DT2 bosses or the inferno speedrun.
Pretty good ending spot for day 2, and I stand corrected on the "not feeling OP in combat" bit - I didn't realize just how much of a power spike the third mastery level is.
Some end of day 1 thoughts for Grid Master:

Fun so far but I'm likely gonna go back to the main game before finishing the board.

Definitely feels very "OP" progression-wise, but strangely not with respect to combat. It doesn't feel like "leagues 3/5 endgame" like I was expecting.
Finally
BREAKING: Sonic the Hedgehog...was arrested.
Jagex's idea of "The first 3 players to complete it will get to help design future leagues content" is gonna crash and burn on a few different levels, and it's gonna be kinda funny but also really sad
Also not gonna try to go for efficiency/speed because a) there's certainly gonna be info that gets dropped on launch day that completely invalidates everyone's planned routes, and b) holy shit things are gonna get SO toxic with that
I think I'm gonna end up trying Grid Master but without any sort of commitment to finish it or play through the whole event. Still feeling iffy on whether it's gonna end up being worth the time in practice.
Where's that Black Mirror "block all mentions/references of [thing] from your life entirely" machine? I need to use it on Pokemon
It's largely gonna be a "when I get the time/motivation for it" thing because despite the "just add subtitles lol" crowd, it's a HUGE timesink even with a webapp that IS working properly.
On a related note, it looks like YT has finally fixed their in-app subtitle creation tool to be usable without 30 seconds of lag on every click, so I'm looking to get started on adding real subtitles to the UIM series soon.
Quick heads-up since it's been making the outrage rounds: I've disabled YouTube's auto-dubbing globally on my channel, so it shouldn't be coming up as an option on any of my videos.
This comment is fascinating

For context for people who don't play OSRS, the Grid Master game mode is not out yet.

This guy submitted again btw. Never give up on your dreams
Idly thinking about gdq submissions and I remembered one of the most goated ones we ever got - there was no commentary, no game audio, only a nightcore mix blasting for the whole vid. It fucking rocked

Should go without saying, fuck Oda, fuck everything he's involved with, if you're doing the whole "no ethical consumption" routine then you're a coward

The substantial innovations that occur every year in speedrunning:

Someone on reddit thinks they've found a new tech and immediately names it "[their name] skip"

Someone looks at the day 1 donation count on GDQ and proclaims that GDQ is permanently dead

A Pokemon runner is racist again
In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning
I hate how I know exactly what this pose is
The fact that people are legitimately trying to theorycraft the fastest possible lesser demon kill is so stupid considering there is 100% gonna be a person on every single world who grabs the training runes and runs straight there PURELY to grief kills, Because They Find It Funny.
The fact that Jagex is doubling down on the "line up to kill a lesser demon in multicombat" task in an event with only 49 possible tasks is just... really awkwardly telling.

Like SURELY they know that this decision is gonna be very unfun for everybody, right?
When the YouTuber starts putting ads in their videos that get a bit too real
