So, it’s that time of year where everyone posts their AGDQ Submissions. Here’s my 5 (wow, I actually have 5 different games for the first time) Got some of my classics up there, but trying something new with Co-op Helldivers. And of course THE BIG ONE with the Tetris Effect 27 Person Relay.

James’s First 4 AGDQ 2027 Submissions, including BPM: Bullets Per Minute, Helldivers 2, Metal: Hellsinger, and SWORN

James’s 5th submission appears here, with the Tetris Effect: Connected 27 Person Relay Submission

Hard to believe that the racing season at this track is almost done. Think I’m gonna miss these towers a little bit during the off-season (though probably not the multiple straight up ladder climbs a day… good leg workout though) but I’m not slowing down. Football season next and then AGDQ!

Quite literally same fam. Plus a former AWS Cloud Suite of certs, ISC^2 certs, and a minor clearance and the best Í got when I still did Cyber was small contracts. Now I’m far more successful in production work and it’s somehow still not “move-out money” despite being relatively good wages.

Everything is finally slowing down a bit, and while the ache still lingers, it’s easier to say I Miss my dad. He lost his fight with Cancer back on June 30th. But he got me into games, accepted me without question, and supported me in all I did. I Speedrun because of him, and I’m not stopping.
