As I get older, it feels like death is all around me. But it also feels like everything done now is also in defiance of it. Give me a day and I’ll use it, give me a thousand and I’ll build something to be proud of. Oh you meant how is my TUESDAY going.

To the person who literally downvoted one of my speedruns within a minute of it being live... honestly well played. Real recognise real, your pettiness impresses me. Keep at it! 🤠

I mainly only come to BlueSky to vaguepost. I’m not breaking that tradition today. Made a decision in my head based on a person’s attitude of how I will conduct something in the future. Probably overreacting but see also: fuck that person.

I like the look of OoTR. I don’t care for the Inventory design, and Kokiri Forest seems too busy for me visually (also too bloomy). But overall impressed - was obviously gonna play it regardless. Humming the songs is something I didn’t realise I needed haha.

Last night, I won the Ascension Grudge Match. I won't be big-headed about it, I had a good day, @tater84.bsky.social did not. But I do expect a public apology (that will sadly never come) from @hyruliangeek.bsky.social - typical Kylo L, but its rare that I get to respond simultaneously and visually.

Tomorrow evening, 6PM UK at twitch.tv/wheelofstruggle; the finalé of Season 4 of the speedrun races I help organise. So where do you take the last hurrah...? Up. We're going up. 3 back-to-back ascension games to decide an age-old rivalry. Don't miss it - its the best PPV you'll never pay for.

This is gonna sound like a brag, I promise it’s not, it’s more like… bemusement… but I can play ANY FPS. 30fps, 60FPS, 120fps, 12fps, 8 etc. Like, watching people complain ad nauseum about how something isn’t 60fps borderline amuses me, like, it’s fine? 🤷‍♂️ “YUCK I can’t play this!” Really!?

Probably being over sensitive but sometimes I regret building my entire persona on people ripping the shit out of me. I'm in on the joke 99% of the time, but sometimes the 1% lands and I'm like, I built this rod for my back and I kinda wish I hadn't. Oh well.

Of course one thing to remember is that with this eclipse, all mobs around Britain Castle respawn AND are enraged for a short time.

I feel like giving this another go, but probably in SH1 or 2 with its more fixed cameras. I’m still surprised we got as far as we did in this stream lol

Married 14 years today to the love of my life. Massive cliché but every day, every single day, I consider myself eternally blessed and lucky to have found her. A thousand years with her would not be enough. If she’d continue to put up with me! 🤣

In the first of three back-to-back races across three evenings, today I’ll be going up against @hyruliangeek.bsky.social in an OoT Randomizer Bingo! If you’ve never seen one you won’t want to miss it; key items can be jumbled anywhere, all while we try to complete arbitrary objectives on a board.

How did you feel about the opening of StruggleR? Did you enjoy the endless bonking of Snake while I racked up 'scandals'? Worry not! We're already back with another race, a debut from Jaseinvader will be taking on Queen of Platformers Adrienne's Revenge and Loss Connoisseur Garlips, Tomorrow!

Some of you may know, I organise Speedrun Races for the @wheelofstruggle.com during its off-season - called StruggleR! We're about to start our 4th season and we have so many good races booked - Mystery Picross, Astro Bot, PowerWash, Bingos... it's an embarrassment of riches. This is our FIRST RACE!

Here’s a helpful guide for gaming fans. If you think 007: First Light is ‘Woke’, you are A: not a fan of Bond in any capacity, and B: a soulless void parroting faux-outrage. A husk. The driest, deadest ink cartridge. A colossal, endless fart that doesn’t even bring a smile to the face of a child.

You're driving on an empty road when you hit it. It doesn't move. Jesus Christ. Nobody saw. You compose yourself. It's just a Muppet. Nobody saw. You get home. Go to bed. Your sleep is restless. When you wake you're warm. Itchy. Your skin feels... dry? Like felt. It's time to play the music

There is an idea that speedrunning certain popular games is more prestigious than running something else. That idea is wrong. Speedrunning is great no matter what you run. It's also not prestigious, lol. Lmao even.

I decided to post on the old Silent Hill Forum (SHF) c. 2003, after playing SH2 and wanting to share my ideas (age 15). In doing so I made friends with my eventual Wife of 14 years, my good friends Mikko, Justin - @axton1061.bsky.social was active there also… whole life changed by 2 years there.

Things I have to say about Starfox. 1: Nintendo have been remaking their games for 20+ years, why is this where some of you draw the line? 2: They recognise Lylat Wars is the best version of the Starfox formula, hence remake. 3: I like the way everything looks, but I don't have a Switch 2 lol.
