SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

Made a C3 post for the current progress on the Pokemon Emerald hack I've been working on. Mainly showcases some of the features/goals of the hack and some gameplay/map screenshots. This has been in the works for a bit over a year now, though I'm nowhere near done. smwc.me/t/133159

no longer a glitchless one-trick 🥲 this run isn't perfect by any means, but i'm glad to have finally hit the sub hour barrier (albeit barely). still a lot to improve, but im happy with this full-game time for now. will focus shift to practice exclusively for now, and maybe other games too!

Kinda dropped off the face of the earth online lately, huh? Been months since I've streamed and I've missed it. Maybe I'll make a return next week? Anyway, here's some updates: I started a job in my career field about a month ago. Glad to finally be done searching, the past year was rough.

My main computer has been out of commission for like 3 weeks, but its finally good again. Hoping to get back to streaming early next week. Thinking about derusting 3D world, skylanders, and platinum map randos. Also gonna work on another b-side level!

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

happy mar10 day! finally making more progress with b-sides design (bugs made this level take longer than expected). really happy with how this level turned out! ending is subject to change, but figured i'd post for the occasion :) (this is a TAS, i'll RTA clear it later)

I've been working on a website recreation of Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver's Voltorb Flip. I've reached a stage where I'm looking for people to help test out what I've built. If you're a Voltorb Flip enjoyer and are interested in the project please DM me! Looking for playtesters... and possibly devs.

mirror temple b-side! really happy with how this turned out. the combo of yoshi and theo is really cool with all the item juggling, dismounts, and item spits/eats. might be the hardest level yet? looking forward to the RTA attempts and making the next level!

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

2nd bside level done i think. finally made it out of the smw retirement home, heres hoping it doesnt take another 3 years to make one level lol real shit though, i think this level is pretty cool! happy with how it turned out. RTA attempts soon, i was just excited to share the design completion :D

Finally graduated with my Master's degree! Really proud and happy to be done with it (although the CS job market sucks, if I know you and you/someone you know is hiring DM me lol). School is the big reason I haven't been as active, but I'm back and I'll have more to share soon!

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

1:31!!!!!!!!!! This is an absolutely phenomenal run, played around a minute off SOB which is genuinely wild for this category. Certainly improvable, but my goal was to take back WR/break the minute barrier and I absolutely succeeded. Amazed by what I've done to this category over the years. (1/2)

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Life's been busy and stressful lately. Handling it well, but speedrunning is definitely on the backburner right now. I have some projects I'd like to get to soon, but they'll only happen once I'm ready. I have a lot I want to do, but such limited time.

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

got a 17:28 small only run for NoGlitchesAllowed... with a DEATH IN YOSHIS ISLAND 2 (i missed PB by 3 seconds like yeah sure) (really happy to have nailed the midairs and SW4 first try though, overall solid performance i think)

I'll also be running Super Mario World Small Only for No Glitches Allowed! While it may be vanilla SMW, if you're at all familiar with kaizo and some of the hard tech there, you're in for a real treat with this category. Nervous about running such a hard category, but excited to put on a good show!

I'll be running Hades 3 Weapons for Game Over Cancer, kicking off the Friday runs! There will be a bidwar to determine which weapons I run, so it'll be interesting to find out what I run when that time comes! Full schedule link: horaro.org/goc2025/sche...

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

i think today was one of the craziest speedrunning days ive ever had. hades - achilles spear - 9:26 -> 7:55 smw - 11 exit (glitchless) - 11:10 -> 10:59 smw - small only - 19:14 -> 17:25 (immediately after the 10:59!!!) i genuinely cant believe how well i played today (1/3)

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Today I finally reached my goal of sub 10 with all weapons in Hades! Sword - 8:47 Spear - 9:26 Shield - 9:22 Bow - 9:03 Fists - 9:00 Rail - 7:52 Not sure what I wanna run next... there's so many choices between new games to learn and old games to derust. Only time will tell I suppose!

My favorite optimization problem has to be completing video games, and this time I intentionally went too far. Here's Super Mario Bros. 3 completed in five microseconds, through the power of moving NES cartridges at multiple hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK7h...

Feeling good about Hades runs lately :) nearing my goal of sub 10 with all weapons, then I'll probably shift focus. Nemesis Sword / 8:47 Demeter Fists / 9:00 Achilles Spear / 9:26 Eris Rail / 7:52 Also submitted Hades, MC, SMW, and We Ski to a couple events, so that might sway my upcoming grind(s)!

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Had the record for 3 years and took it back within a week. There's about a second left to take, but I'm very happy with this. I'd rather not have to push this category further, but I will if I have to. youtu.be/Kq-nOsrq9oY (New WR was a 57. My PB was a 59, not a 1:07. These were derust splits)

MarkAlarm @markalarm.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

finally lost the casio get credits WR and by extension, i no longer hold any WRs that have any amount of competition. thought i had that one on lock, but i was unfortunately proven wrong. determined to take it back, but it'll be a hell of an order.
