Casually playing NES Arkanoid this morning, I had an obscene amount of extra lives on the final boss (about 12 I think?), so I used them to grind score on the final boss to see where my final score would end up. A shame I didn't record anything except the last 2 or 3 minutes of the run, but still!

A screenshot of my final score in NES Arkanoid of 918,910, my highest ever

On the down side, tonight I lost a likely NES Gauntlet WR to a failed manipulation in World 4. On the up side, I will have my Gauntlet revenge on GDQ Hotfix tomorrow night around 10 PM! Hopefully see you all there! There might be some Arkanoid too...!

I got added as a mod to an NES game on SRC today since I was updating a few Twitch highlights to Youtube videos and the lone mod of the game hadn't logged in for a long time, only to find two runs in the queue that had been sitting there for three years waiting for verification. How sad...

Thanks to everyone for watching my stream last night, including those who witnessed me finally getting a Marble Madness PB with a decent silly skip!

These are my splits in my new PB. The timer shows 2:45.9, but a frame count is pending which put the time closer to 2:45.8

After four hours of practice and grinding, @chessjerk.bsky.social and I finished two warpless Snek runs. We weren’t able to keep pace with PJ & Feasel’s rather remarkable warpless GDQ run from ten years ago. Maybe next time! We definitely CAN beat that time! www.twitch.tv/videos/23704...
