This was a really fun run! Little useless anecdote: I must to thank you for not going the pizza cuter route... I provided a prize on the French restream of this SGDQ, and I had studied your previous WR (the commented run from May) to make an illustration... I was still in the middle of it at the beginning of the marathon, and when the French staff told me the run was rerouted, ngl, I was scared xD Which led to a funny moment, when the commentators understood you were going with this route and not the updated one... Basically throwing notes there :D Personal story aside, thank you for your dedication in the speedrun community, especially for the Dark Souls/From Soft games, can't wait to see how the various categories are going to evolve throughout the years!
Awesome! Thank you for the fun story and for taking the time to support this run by providing a drawing. I personally do not think pizza cutting is a great showcase for the game. Truth be told, even this route is not the greatest, but we gotta start with something! I plan on submitting some category that has more traditional fights in the future.
Finally got around to watching the run. Great run, great commentary. Very impressive how you manage to explain everything that is going on in a fight or skip without stopping to take a breath.
It was so great to see you live, my man. Nice run, great commentary as always and also nice memes on Fia’s and Rennala. Was just an absolute blast to see + chat reaching the 3M shortly after your run was pure goosebumps material. Can‘t wait to have you back live on Twitch
It’s kind of funny but despite the mask it’s so much easier for me to understand you on this run than it was on one of your ESA runs I watched recently. Not sure if it’s due to better sound mixing or you just speak clearer nowadays. Anyway I love your commentary on this. I learned a ton about the run and you’re super charismatic and fun to listen to as well.
Entertaining and informative! I'm interested in seeing how the runs will evolve through the game's lifecycle. Love what you bring to the community and GDQ. A gentleman and scholar.
Haha! Thank you! I must say that there were definitely points where the commentary dipped down a little, but that will be worked on. This is the first ER showing at a marathon after all, so it couldn't be perfect.
I sadly chose passing my exams over instantly playing Elden Ring but now that I finally had the chance to play everything myself I also finally became able to watch the runs without spoilers. Very happy to see that the game is so great for you too cata and thanks for an amazing run and great upload timing :D
the most entertaining runner in GDQ!
This was a really fun run!

This runner is a national treasure!

The most impressive part was getting out of Sellia Crystal Tunnel without getting hit by the pest’s ranged attack.
Finally got around to watching the run.
Great run, great commentary. Very impressive how you manage to explain everything that is going on in a fight or skip without stopping to take a breath.
Already watched thid at GDQ, but why not again. Rocking that CM Punk shirt!
1:45:54 lmao that was on point.
Damn AR has changed a lot, Morgott and Godskin Duo skip was interesting.

Thank you so much, Marco! It was an absolute pleasure to perform this run, and all the extra memes simply added to it!
Couple of months late, but what an awesome run Cata!
37:40 Whoever renamed themselves to "Bistromath" just to make a donation to the PIZZA incentive, I applaud your good taste. In both senses.

It is both. His English has improved massively and his equipment quality as well. He just keeps getting better at all he does!

Great run, bro!
It’s not just that he’s playing amazingly well but he’s **narrating the whole time**! 😲
I can barely speak whilst doing up my shoelaces.

Thank you for noticing! The crowd was a great pleasure to perform in front of, just like 3 years ago.

Saw it live and donated for this great cause. Cata you are a legend my friend!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the run so much.
Did you just beat Malenia first try *without* sending the elevator up??
Yeah I defied all the odds!

I was really happy to see back at GDQ, awesome run!
It was fantastic! Still European though SMH HOW COULD YOU DO IT AGAINNN
Fascinated by the insane people in the comments angry that catalystz isn't chuddy enough
Wtf is chuddy
55:04
all that money for pizza?
Man what is up with the color balance in this run, it's like everything is super-saturated.
w8 what version of elden ring is this?
i think they said 1.02 in the beginning
WHAT IS GOING ON?????? Whaaaaaaaaaa woooooooooo nerdsssssssss!!!!!!!!!
👍♥️
SPOCEY?!!!!!
Out of curiosity, where was this hosted that still demanded those weird coof talismans?
Great run, top quality content as always... But why tf is everyone wearing a mask??
I hope they won't make us wear face masks again D: (fellow Bohemian here). Gonna make some tea now and enjoy the run, cheers!
NERDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This event is so cringe. The announcer and fake claps really pissed me off. I‘m sure that they scam, you can‘t tell me they spend 100% of the money 🤣
Were the pronouns really necessary ? WTF?
great job cata..always entertaining to watch..idk whats up with the pronouns tho
Thank you! And I don't mind displaying my pronouns just so more people can be more comfortable approaching me.
Masks? Pronouns? Could you be more cringe
Why is he wearing a mask
there's a global pandemic of a virus that transports through air
@@CallN0w oh you mean the flu? That shits been around forever
Only gdq would have this dude sitting alone, twenty feet from anyone else and rocking a face diaper lmaooooo
wearing a mask in 2022 is the cringiest thing ever
Probably not his choice. idk
