Yesterday was the first time in months that I booted up a game just to do something speedrunning related. I've been feeling burnt out lately, to that point that even engaging in my hobbies has felt like a chore. This run was nothing groundbreaking, but it felt good. youtu.be/WwK8CSKmdgI?...

Hopping on this trend for funsies. I've got quite a backlog built up due to work and personal life leaving very little time for learning/routing new games right now 😅

New PSO Episode 1 Any% PB - 1h5m and change. Once I get to below 1h I'm going to start uploading to YT and submitting to SRC to track my progress. I'm not necessarily gunning for a top spot like I was for Ogre Battle, but as long as I keep having fun I'll keep trying to improve!

Finished a practice any% speedrun of PSO episode 1 on GameCube yesterday. Didn't time it but it would have been terrible anyway haha. My meseta-duping and weapon-stacking glitch execution needs a lot of work and I took 3 deaths during the run, but you gotta start somewhere 😁

Been a very busy and stressful year. Achieved some goals, had to sideline others. Looking forward to resetting and resting over the holiday period. Next year is also going to be hectic but hopefully with some fantastic results. Think I'm going to look into Phantasy Star Online speedrunning 👀

My coworker started a speedrunning-focused Slack channel at work, and now we've got a group of people interested in picking an inactive game or category for us all to compete against each other in. Ideally should be a game that can be gotten for cheap or easily emulated - anyone have any fun ideas?

Been quiet and haven't been speedrunning much lately due to personal circumstances. Still got some fun ideas rocking around, but I don't anticipate submitting much of anything in the near-term. Nonetheless, I'm getting really excited to watch #RPGLB2025 next month!

Well, RPGLB 2025 submissions are now closed and I did submit Ogre Battle 64! Had to submit as a remote runner this year though, due to work. So if I get picked, wonderful! If not, no biggie! I've got my eyes set on another Ogre Battle target already 👀

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

One of my New Year's resolutions boils down to "do more speedrunning". I've got 3 runs in mind and I've already started working up my notes for 1 of them! Although, I did see that Duck Detective had a sequel announced... Might have 4 runs in mind...
