I think hands down so far the best thing about being 30 now is the ability to use this as a reaction image

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

also at some point between now and the last time I checked I did get the "first stream" celebration and apparently my first stream was in August of...2016??? fascinating. what the fuck was 2016 Basil up to (your guess is as good as mine)

chat was giving me shit for barely using my bsky recently so in an effort to fix that: some pics from the glass museum we went to on Sunday! INCREDIBLY gorgeous place (and also right next to the Space Needle???) and we got boba afterwards 🔮🧋

this post brought to you by the fact that I've probably cooked more rice in the past month than I have in my entire life. I love you rice I love you rice cookers I love you home cooking 🍚

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

been oscillating so rapidly between saying "I'm washed" & "I'm cooked" over the past week that a few days ago w/o thinking I combined the two concepts by saying "I'm rice," out loud, to no one in particular. this is complete nonsense & funny to no one but me but I have not stopped saying it since

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

threw on Ganondorf (horseback memes) and didn't *quite* clutch the sub-2:50, but a PB is a PB. this was a mostly decent run! just made some silly mistakes here and there, can easily clean this up and do better next time 💪

still exhausted from a crazy weekend and a very long, sleepless, and busy day of travel yesterday, but I did safely land in Seattle and am ready to harass @phantom-games.com for 3 entire weeks pics from a local combination ramen + sushi joint we went to last night, and chat. this sushi. was SO good

tfw you sign up for an any% tourney for fun and accidentally win an entire bracket WolfDash 5 was a lot of fun!! I'm very glad I signed up to participate despite nerves, it definitely pushed me to get better at the game than I ever have been. gonna get this super sick Hugo trophy in the mail 🏆😎

I've been working on this for over a year: I'm remaking all of Ocarina of Time's prerenders in 3D, trying to match the N64 style rather than the 3DS one. The provisional name is OoT unJPEG. It will be distributed as both a romhack that runs on real N64 hardware and a mod for Zelda 64 Recompiled.

y'all ever just decide to do some offline runs and they're bad and your run is super duper dead but you keep going for practice's sake and then you PB by less than 2 seconds and it's the funniest shit ever

Part ONE (of two) is now up on YouTube! Go watch me and @phantom-games.com struggle to contend with glitches and logic we'd never considered before in a torment nexus seed that took us almost 24 hours to finish. How many heart pieces are there in Twilight Princess, again? 💞 youtu.be/i4LgjMncYp8

unironically I adore this story as well as the poem it's named after (and which is contained therein); I'm not really a poetry guy but it struck a chord with me when I first read it ages ago anyways if you haven't go read "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury, this special holiday demands it

ICYMI: I challenged someone by telling him he could not possibly make a TPR seed that would take 20h. he accepted. I was Very Wrong. final time was just under 24h, really REALLY pushed me and @phantom-games.com's knowledge/skills to the limit and made us learn/consider things we NEVER had before

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

so it turns out streaming for ~12h for two consecutive days doing a nightmare hell plando that repeatedly inflicted psychic damage has some Tangible Physical Side Effects (hi, I can hear purple) was definitely An Experience™, will be uploading the full thing to YT at some point for posterity's sake

TL;DR: I'm a dumbass and find being tricked into looking at a picture of a clown funny and I'm still losing it that this stupid bit (and my laugh) has been immortalized in the Wand of Gamelon run, I fucking love my friends lmfao

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

...have found it funnier than I should have. He got me multiple times that week and the bit continued well after AGDQ ended, like for the past six months I've been Charlie Brown and he's been Lucy with a damn football except it's inexplicably just a picture of a random clown???

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

...as during that week Asher was doing a bit where he would run up to someone, briefly flash the flashlight on his phone as if he were taking a photo, and when the unsuspecting individual asked to see the photo he had taken he would turn his phone around to reveal This Fucking Clown, and I may...

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

P.S. For those of you who may have been wondering what on earth @spicyquil.bsky.social was holding up when his donation was read (about 6:25 into the run) that made me laugh in a way that was so piercing only dogs could hear it: it was this. This was a running gag that started at AGDQ 2026...

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

More pics to come later, but first: it was a delight to have the privilege of doing commentary for Wand of Gamelon at SGDQ! I had absolutely no clue what I was doing up there but I'm so thankful to @brandino59.bsky.social for asking me to join him anyway. 'Twas a blast, hope y'all had fun watching 🍿

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Made it home from SGDQ around noon eastern today -- promptly passed out from sheer exhaustion. What a crazy and wonderful week, despite not having enough time to spend with everyone I wanted to spend time with (I blame @phantom-games.com). If you went out your way to meet me: ily 💕

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

another any% PB from today! been slowly chipping down my SOB and just (mostly) played relatively well in this run, no huge glaring mistakes but definitely time to save all throughout if I can just lock tf in. not quite sub-2:50, but getting there 🙏

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Hey, that's me! Be there or be square 🟪

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

managed to nab another any% PB on the grind for improvement for WolfDash! 🐺 this run didn't have any huge glaring mistakes (just lots of silly things that added up over time), so these should be interesting splits to run against. really feel like I'm improving in this game after all these years :)

Happy to finally be able to announce that I'm gonna be showcasing Twilight Princess All Mirror Shards in a race vs. orcrist_gc at RAF Rapid Fire 2026, benefiting Planned Parenthood! Should be a lot of fun, hope to see you guys there ✌

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

first day back to any% and managed to get a surprise PB!! this run was pretty messy but did have the advantage of Stallord Skip (which I didn't do last time I ran this category), and considering it was a no reset practice run for WolfDash 5, I can't complain too much. also ELH is pretty cool 💣

new AD PB from Friday!! been about a month since I've had a PB I've felt good about, so this one felt particularly good, despite the many mistakes (lost over a minute in Lanayru Twilight, had to reload for Rusl TD, second half of City was a mess). very happy to have finally gotten sub-3:40 😎

Basil @basilouija.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

by far the silliest PB in my entire speedrunning career, but a PB nonetheless. best possible time entering the final split was +10 seconds compared to my previous PB but I managed to gold the final split by 16 seconds and somehow pull a PB out of my ass. run was still trash, I'm not done with AD yet
