I might have missed the 1CC by pixels last week, but I finally got the 1CC in ESPGaluda II tonight! I'm both glad and relieved to have this done, though I'm not sure what to tackle next. #vtuber #1cc #cave #stg

Can't have a 1CC grind without game-over'ing right before the last boss dies >_< #vtuber #STG #ESPGaluda2 #nota1cc

Slowly recovering from the weekend, but I took 1st in Sailor Moon S at Otakon making up for my loss to @maxdoutex.bsky.social at Frosty in 2025 :V #otakon2026 #sailormoon

Welp, I broke Strider at Otakon. Even when on the road, games break when I touch them. #otakon2026 #capcom #jank

Watame was very glad to see that I reused the bucket seat from my previous rig. It was literally the cheapest, new seat I could find on eBay, but he loves it all the same.

Looks like the weather in Raleigh remembered what month it is.

Ok, the Metal Slug 1CC took a lot less time than I thought. Still not thrilled with how the game handles difficulty though : / Maybe Black Tiger is next? #vtuber #metalslug #1CC #wheresfio

With Strider beaten, I need some new side 1CC's to work on! Maybe Ghosts 'n Goblins? Metal Slug :( ? Any suggestions that aren't Final Fight? #vtuber #1CC #oldgames

Got the Elevator Action Returns 1CC! Ignore the missile launch in the background; everything is fine.

While Retro Achievements are dumb, at least they got me to beat Gun Nac.

We had to be very careful in Nagoya station with @maxdoutex.bsky.social as there was a Railway Police office there. Fortunately, they seemed unaware that the famed subway fugitive was in their midst.

Darby and Watame's first experience with snow. Neither liked the weird, cold ground, but that didn't stop Darby from rolling in it.

It took awhile, but Darby and Watame are finally using the cat bed.

It's done! I have beaten every 3D Sonic! My suffering can finally end!

My Christmas present to people this year is my personal suffering. I’ll start streaming Shadow Generations tomorrow.

Yay, I finally 1-All'ed Salamander 2 and can stop playing it.

Finally got the sub 12:30 in Castlevania 1 with a single Drac crit! Any improvements from here will likely require learning cave skip and the proper Drac fight, so I'm probably good for a bit. #vtuber #speedrun #castlevania

New Castlevania 1 speedrun personal best.

Here's my current progress through Cave's STG library. This isn't necessarily my streaming plan as I'll probably start introducing games from other devs before too long, but does show my ideal goal.

Not to undercut my October video, but this just happened. Sorry for the game audio desync and terrible final score >_< #vtuber #STG #dodonpachi #1All

Behold! Here are the full winners and losers side brackets for SQXL 2025's Mystery Tournament! The standout title here is Buriki One which @maxdoutex.bsky.social bought 2-years ago, but had to keep secret until we ran it. #SQXL2025 #FGC #mysterytournament #kusoge #burikione

Picked up the Earnest Evans re-release, and the box claims it supports 1-4 players! The player count is missing from the Annet Futatabi box, so was this a mistake or a cruel joke? #earnestevans #wolfteam
