[@SickInTheHeadINC]

Games Done Quick I'm so happy y'all are doing the comment thing now.

[@vMoppyMedia]

Just wanted to say how awesome it is that you've started cutting out the 10 minutes of donations and people sitting around at the start of each video. It's so nice just to be able to jump right into the gameplay now!

[@Dissociation_Association]

Good bot.

[@panpolypuff]

GDQ staff, wanna say I greatly appreciate this year’s archives being edited so that gameplay starts near the top. Editing these uploads in post must take a lot of volunteer time, and I want to let you know that it is noticed!

[@pessimism4278]

Hello everyone. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the run. Much love.

[@TheCeglowka]

xPessimism yo mate what's the band which shirt you were sporting? Looks like some dank slam shit and I'm not sure if I know this one. Anyway, great run, cheers!

[@pessimism4278]

TheCeglowka hello. The band is Gravitational Distortion. They are a Canadian Slam band. Definitely check them out!

[@pessimism4278]

TheCeglowka also, thank you for your words and time!

You lucky sod. At first I thought the runner was a bit blah, but I soon realized that he is just supremely chill and laconic with a very, very dry wit. Thank you, sir, indeed.

[@zethrasgorgoth3145]

omegaweapon116 you mean Top Dollar? I don't see that much resemblance...Top Dollar has straight hair and a thinner facial structure, Pessimism has a wider face and wavy hair

[@bover-5]

Right? "Thank you, sir!" He's so polite, even to the zombies. Even refers to them as gentlemen, even when they're trying to eat his tasty, tasty brains.

[@Pikastroff]

I find it ironic that a guy named Pessimism is such a positive person. Seems like a great person!

[@Valanway]

About as ironic as having a Speedrunner named Carcinogen whose main series to play is about a deadly viral outbreak and bio-terrorism on the couch for a charity event about preventing cancer.

[@Rethaxian]

Metalheads are some of the nicest people. It's just one of those ironic things.

[@gus8426]

Christopher Redfield, why hearing his full name sounds so weird? 😂

@@ectothermic You're right. IGNore the trolls.

[@SSJvegito501]

@@ectothermic to the point. You are right. 1 clear example he lost focus when he forgot the wooden shield which cost him 1 minute and risking a zombie by passing him 2 more times. He was not enough paying attention to his run. Just to be clear, not trying to bad talk the runner, he did great but other runners need to focus on more fast paced games.

[@morrisseyguy6811]

@@clockztickin everyone claps for big donations (bc their big donations). we're talkin bout that he said thank you to every donation including a Fiver. Don't see many runners doing that.

[@th3TwistedLight]

I really enjoy that Pessimism is so chill yet never allows the quiet to set in during the run, be it donations, couch or his own "Please, sir. Thank you" Professional entertainment for a great cause :D

[@CarcinogenSDA]

David Carper This meme pisses me off. You should know something: if Pessimism didn’t want me on his couch the last two runs, he could have told me to fuck off any time, but I was invited back every time because we’re friends and he wanted me to commentate with him. It’s honestly amazing that I have to tell people this. idk where you people get the idea that we’re fighting over each other and that I never shut up, but CVX and RE0 are terrible games to commentate because nothing goes correctly as one is supposed to demonstrate. This time we actually rehearsed everything we were going to talk about because I WANTED him to talk more. My entire role was to help elaborate, as it has been. I literally made a career out of speedruns and commentary full time but he’s better at REmaster speedruns than me so I wanted him to take the lead so people like you would quit making the comments section about painting me to be the bad guy and he could get the recognition he deserves.

[@kyleB061]

Carcinogen the spaces inbetween your sentences was giving me ear cancer.

[@CarcinogenSDA]

Kyle B I put in the work and paid money out of pocket to go to this event. You stayed home to play PoE, CSGO, and eat mommy’s tendies all day. If you want me to quit commentating you better get to work.

[@rollins1212]

tbh i really like you not shutting up(sounds aggressive this way but believe me its not in a bad way) since sometimes pessi can be really focus you can give us good information on whats going on, and when he cant talk you can give us information on what´s going on, so yeah i like pessimism running with you on the couch talking or you running talking about whats going on!

[@ariaroflcakes]

Honestly I like what carcinogen does on this one, he fills up people what pessimism is doing when he's focused on what he's running. I dunno why some don't like getting rilled up with information which is critical in the game.

Very humble and cool runner one of my favorite runs so far for SGDQ 2018

[@drowzebra1308]

BTW, for anyone curious, Rebecca(/RebeccaRE) (the one who comes in from off camera) is actually a Chilean RE runner, with a ton of records in those games. So, I don't think English is her first language, which is probably a big part of why she doesn't say much.

[@Eagles4life221]

In all my years of playing Resident Evil, I have never heard anyone call Chris “Christopher Redfield.”

[@castlerock1627]

I was waiting for him to call Jill, Jillian Valentine.

[@NicerNine]

2nd time I heard someone call Chris "Christopher" 1st time was Lucas in RE7 Not a Hero and It was so weird to me for some reason but funny.

Best moments when Pessimism had the audience over the edge. 26:11 He is not dead my friends. 39:21 Oh it worked. No Way.

[@GrimmReaperz95]

hes the only runner i have heard actually saying thank you for donations while playing...the other runners always seem to be more interested in telling you whats going on(which is good an all) but donations are more important.

[@ImpureContagion]

Yeah, I get they are trying to concentrate and all, but sometimes these people donate huge amounts to their favorite runners and they can't be bothered for a one second, "thank you". Like come on, the only reason you are there is for donations. Saying thank you won't destroy your run.

I love Pessimism, and how awesome that CarcinogenSDA was on the couch as well. For those who haven't yet, you should check out Carci's channel. He's got some sick RE runs to envy. He's also a featured runner by Capcom. Was one of the guys who commentated gameplay of RE2 Remake with some other great guests on the couch, Carci on the controller. That said, Pessimism killed this run and a half. Sick runner, great dude. Not much more needs to be said. :)

If there is anyone that still plays this game trying to get Don’t Stop Running or Pacing, I have today 100% confirmed that you CAN in fact pause the in game timer to take breaks. I have only confirmed this on PS5. It’s also quite simple. Keep the game open but switch over to KZbin. This puts the game in a frozen, suspended mode. You can test this by opening a door and immediately switching to KZbin. When you switch back, you can clearly see that the door animation resumes where you left it.

sure the first few times you play the game, but I’ve been running this game for 16 years. Know it by heart. The doors at this point are just wasting time And making it harder to practice. From a speed runners perspective, I really don’t need the atmosphere I already appreciated it once.
