Long time viewer, first time submitter. Greetings from Lumiose City!

A screenshot of the AGDQ 2027 submissions page. Pokémon Legends: Z-A has been submitted with 2 categories.

Really happy with this one! Reworked my notes to be way more detailed/streamlined and stuck to my game plans the whole run. Probably not done yet, even if I don't PB again in the future - want to get this route optimized before I'm good to leave ZA behind for other stuff.

was worried that I'd be rusty at audio since missing AGDQ26, but this was the most fun I've had so far in the role! between the crowd going wild with WHEEE, Twitch chat getting flooded with dance emotes when a major bop dropped, or quotes spammed during silly block - everything gave me life

I'd consider myself very average at VGC considering I started in Champions, but after learning the basics I fell in love with the teambuilding process - it's so much fun! Landed on Mega Pyroar on day 1 and it's been a blast to iterate on it and see it win a tournament!

if I had a nickel for each time I've set manual sun against Pelipper/Swampert and OHKO'd their Swampert with Solar Beam I'd have two nickels

In about 30 minutes I'll be racing @eddaket.bsky.social in DK64 randomizer for Think Fast! Here's Burgy to distract you from the fact that I am so not prepared for trivia during a randomizer... twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

Haven't streamed in a bit but I'm still alive I swear 🙂 With the most recent Legends: Z-A route change I've been mostly throwing myself at research and calculations to try and nail down optimal fights. Honestly has been really fun, just a lot of work!

Happy to have put my hand on the world record, however long it lasts (not long, probably). Happier to have done it with friends that have supported each other every step of the way.

No spoilers here, just going to say this speedrun is FUN (and a teeeeeeeeny bit long), but I've been having so much fun running this and doing what I can to help route it!

we are on step 3 now, excited to learn octopath runs!!! Castti's story is probably my favorite out of the 8 so naturally I had to learn her single story first :)

Simply Switch 2 (a new route) for a solid PB/WR, been working on this one for awhile and glad to nail it on my first run back from SGDQ 🙂

I am so incredibly grateful to have found a place in a community that is not only warm and welcoming, but also one that shows up meaningfully in moments and events like these. Going to GDQ will always have a special place in my heart right alongside my friends and PSR community.

Second GDQ in the books and the first as a volunteer. Back when I started watching GDQ in 2016, I never would have thought that I'd be part of something so life-changing - let alone be so ingrained in the most fantastic community I've ever been a part of. Here's to many, many, many more.

Don't think I've ever had Christmas cake but this is pretty close. Happy holidays everyone!

This was the most fantastic way to cap off another year of speedrunning - not only getting solid PBs in both Barrier Blitz categories but also getting to compete and hang out with some amazing people (and watching them blitz some barriers themselves!) Thanks to everyone involved, love y'all!

Dynam @dynammm.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

My streaming goal of keeping Pokémon Brilliant Diamond out of my top 5 categories this year was a success :)

Dynam @dynammm.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

With this, I've completed my goal of having decent enough times in all the SwSh base game categories outside of Catch 'em All! Lots of improvements to be made around the board, but pretty satisfied overall. Glad I finally came back to Gen 8, I can see why people love these games so much

What a wild ride. One more category to go to meet my pinned goal!

The funny thing is that on the first Dynamax Adventure branch it was Blaziken (always unrunnable) or Combusken (very runnable)

Still learning the whole routing-on-the-fly thing but the improvements are there! Lots of mistakes and this could have very easily been around a 4:06

Shield any% with Candyfloss - finally PB'd after coming back to the run 20 months later, had internet/stream issues and played poorly in the mid/late game as a result of trying to fix them. Want to push this down to at least a 4:10:xx

Been a little silent on the Pokémon end of things, but that's because I've thrown myself into running Donkey Kong 64 Randomizer! I'll be competing today in the Tiny Scrubs beginner's tournament today at 6PM EST as 4th seed in the Funky bracket (and overall), come watch then!

Dynam @dynammm.bsky.social · 23/10/2023

this looks like a victory in Starfall Street but I did a silly and said on stream that I'd do Bootleg Ash in Let's Go if this run got WR...

Dynam @dynammm.bsky.social · 19/10/2023

thanks Switch update 17.0.0 for letting me check off "get a world record in a main category" off my speedrunning bucket list
