germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 19/08/2026112 streaming days & 322/325 hacks down... my Kaizo Beginnerthon ends this Friday, Aug 21st at 8 PM ET! 7 months of spinning the wheel (Newcomer to Advanced) comes down to the final 3: • A race of The Wahn Stew Race vs Thirstforpower • Quickie World 1 • Super germdove World Nice shameless plug. 082
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I really appreciate the nuanced take that you have here, but the program has a mode for curated playlists and a mode for randomizers, either for full hacks or for random levels. That being said, once a player chooses to use the randomizer, they are warned about what they might see. 120
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 11/08/2026What does that API do again? Does it make mixtapes out of romhacks, or does it list romhacks? I think it lists romhacks. 050

Reposted by germdoveDreamworks Dummies @dreamworksdummies.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Who did it better? Flushed Away, or the Great Mouse Detective? They both feature rodents in London, but Hugh Jackman gave a performance for the ages as Roddy St. James! Barrie Ingham playing Basil of Baker St? More like Barely English! It's gotta go to Dreamworks here! 011
Reposted by germdoveDreamworks Dummies @dreamworksdummies.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Why are we even comparing The Lion King to Madagascar? One’s a slow “circle of life” lecture, the other has the Lion Character serving charisma, dance moves, and a full identity crisis. Another Darth Vader performance from James Earl Jones, Ben Stiller brought RANGE. DreamWorks wins this easily. 011
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Yesterday, I passed 200 hours of playing every beginner(That is, Advanced and lower) kaizo romhack of SMW. I've finished 139 out of 327, and I've been lucky enough to find some new favorites in the second hundred hours, including Uncharted World and Roke Shell. 091
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Here's some fruit from me playing all those beginner hacks. I don't think that I'll always need to touch on every single level, but this hack was such a grab bag of gimmicks it was hard to leave them outyoutu.beJust like they used to make 'em - germdove's Kaizo Beginnerthon Part 5 - Good Old Days 4YouTube video by germdove 021
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Selection is happening in random order, and will include standard/kaizo hacks. I'm planning to play all exits for everything, but one was picked one that was extremely out of the scope of what I want to do. I'll be giving scores for how much I like them and how good I think they are for new players. 010
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 05/02/2026In early January, I started work on a project that I'm calling my Kaizo Beginnerthon, where I'm playing through every beginner(Advanced and lower) difficulty kaizo romhack of SMW that's on SMW Central. Today, I've played for just over 101 hours and I've completed 73 out of 327. 111

germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Ok, so I didn't do it. I didn't even start on Various Dragons or Thumbshredder, let alone Thumbshredder's dad. I'll get 'em next time. We're a bit into January already so I need to put some goals together for 2026 now... 000
Reposted by germdoveDabble/Dobbs | game dev creature @dabbleworks.bsky.social · 26/09/2025Get excited, we're doing one of these again. I've been busy and have some fun stuff to show off. See you Sunday night! 264
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 25/08/2025This guy, this guy right here was the only thing standing between me and the last banana. His collection is complete, I spent at least 1 of every fossil type, but I just did not have fun collecting fossils and don't want to dive through every layer again to do something I didn't enjoy. 010
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 25/08/2025I finished playing as much Donkey Kong: Bananza as I want to. 776/777 bananas collected. What an absolutely incredible game, I played somewhere around 39 hours and thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. 120
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 15/08/2025Joker Shell Ok is done! 72:28:21, more than a third of that time was in Springtime Caverns, it set et new records for me both in deaths and time to clear, it's the first time I've used savestate practice to clear a level and it really made me doubt myself for a little bit there. Sheffy 2 next! 050
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Forgot to mention that Cube's 5 was finished back in June with a time of 22:19. Averaged under an hour per level. Currently working on Joker Shell Ok... 030
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Because I just played Jordan's ONE, a romhack with non-standard graphics. 191

germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 27/05/2025I couldn't count the number of "with all due respect" and "no offense but" the YT kids trot out. 020
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 30/04/2025It's been a month, and I finished The Team Shell Hack today with 7:19 on the timer. Definitely alot of fun, seeing a 38 exit Expert shell hack is intimidating, but there's a smooth difficulty curve building up to the harder stuff at the end. I didn't do the Basic Platforming Level, maybe one day. 020
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Oh yeah, my route was: head, fugu, curtain, yoshi, stair 000
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Welp. I've got one down. poop jump any% is complete. I had gone into it fully expecting to do a 100% clear, but found a level that I knew I just wasn't going to have fun beating. What an incredible hack, it taught me so much about SMW, and it's made me a better player. 150
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 16/03/2025this dude really went and put his own fuckin face on the title screen 010
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I hate to break it to you, I'm wearing them right now. 010
germdove @germdove.bsky.social · 13/03/2025I'm very far behind, but I'm making my way through creating videos for all of the RomHack Races that I participate in. Here's a short that I just finished, It's Week 205 from August 2022, Mario Mountain by redfeatherz, an SMB2 level. 160
