A huge personal racing achievement, stars have aligned for me to achieve my first podium position in our F1 league, on the 6th race out of 10. What a race this was.

Big. Valve just stated “one of PayPal’s acquiring banks decided to stop processing any Steam transactions” due to content “related to what we’ve previously commented on surrounding Mastercard” Time to start calling paypros’ banks www.rockpapershotgun.com/valve-explai...

NSG Fall 25 is coming soon and the magnificent JC Denton 1 made a nice promo video. If you look really closely you might be able to see lightning

A week before ESA I did a testing run of Deus Ex Mankind Divided at the DX anniversary marathon, and the time of the run was... special

Up-and-coming hardbass prodigy Kainalo will be releasing the official MV for his "315" single today. Haven't seen it yet, but I may have seen the room when it was filmed, and oh boy is it going to be a banger. P.S. Sincere apologies to rooms 316 and 314

Fact.

You may have never asked for this, but it's here anyway! Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of the cult classic game series Deus Ex, and our org is hosting a Deus Ex marathon in collaboration with the Deus Ex randomizer + speedrunning communities. Schedule: oengus.io/marathon/dx2...

Since our "friendly" F1 league is going on a summer break, because we're all coming to ESA, fellow racer Rum Balls Bradford (aka Sphere) made a lovely compilation of some of the more competent moments we managed to achieve

You might see me there too, playing a Deus Ex game or two

This evening we will be holding the second race of season 2 of our Formula 1 league, this time in Brazil. Practice starts 7pm CEST, quali starts 8pm CEST, race starts right after the quali. Who full sends it into a wall turn 1? More POVs should be in the stream together later www.twitch.tv/vahisht

The least competent, yet most epic F1 league live now at www.twitch.tv/vahisht How many will survive first corner?

This ESA, you'll be able to catch me during No One Lives Forever 2, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Hitman WoA Roulette Run Invalid, Mirror's Edge relay race, and probably some comms here and there as well. Gonna be an exciting event for sure

We’re live on twitch! Come join the fun for this next three days at nsgmarathon.com and twitch.tv/nsgmarathon

I started working on a "new" speed video essay. The problem is that I already have a lot done, but I did it year and a half ago. My mic has changed, my voice is a bit different, and my skill in that game has since developed a lot. I might give it a "past me & current me collab" spin, could be cute

My No One Lives Forever 2 submission for ESA made it into first picks. Hyped? Very. Already worried about the OOB sections? Very much so

Couple weeks ago I uploaded a speedrunning video essay that took a lot of effort to make, and the support and love I got from friends and people in general is absolutely amazing. My usual viewership is in high double/low triple digits. Getting 1k only after 2 weeks means a lot. Big thanks 🙏

Okay, two things: 1) this run was A LOT of fun 2) Heinki and I got new WR in DX Any% Coop, despite us pausing for a minute because the stream crashed

"Guten tag" is a thing I was told the German people say. @heinki.bsky.social and I will have our Deus Ex coop run at Germench's Frühlingsfest Marathon 2025 soon. No I still don't speak german.

My latest video will be out soon! Four teams of speedrunners compete to break and route a game none of them have seen before: Zofia. What tech does each team find? And whose run will be the fastest?

It took way longer than expected, but it's finally almost done. I'll be releasing my new video on Saturday 19:00 CET. A video essay documenting one of the recent seasons of our routing and game-breaking competition.

Decided to work on my "must play" list by playing through MGS1 (MC), MGS2:SoL (MC), MGS3:SE (MC), MGS4:GotP (PS3) and MGSV:GZ (PC) back to back, starting with MGS1. The Kojima moments are... something else. Might do Peace Walker too if I can set it up reasonably. www.twitch.tv/vahisht

Heinki and I are going to be running Deus Ex coop at a Germench event early March. I don't speak a word of German btw

Recently I started learning a new speedgame, No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way (2002). Still some tricks I have to lock down and grind, but I'm slowly getting ready to time some runs. www.twitch.tv/vahisht

Now that I finally have some time on my hands, I'm spending some time on my latest speedrunning video project I've had on the back burner for a couple months. Started putting some animated shots together and voilà, a teaser screen

Chances are I will both be there and be asleep as I don't have a regiment of children keeping me awake

Joke's on you, I love the Helios ending!

If you happened to miss my GDQ run, the video is now live. Absolute trip that this actually happened. So happy and so grateful for everything. I'm gonna write a pastebin later, but right now I'm travelling back home.

Update: moved back by an hour, currently scheduled for 6:50AM ET

In about 12 hours (5:40AM ET) I'm gonna have my Deus Ex run live on the main stage of #AGDQ25. Nervous? Yes. Is it going to be fun anyway? Sure hope so. Come say hi!

Good morning. I will be running star wars dark forces remastered at agdq today around 1030am EST. There is a donation incentive to upgrade to the all secrets category, so please consider it because that run is sick! See yall soon

Still feels a little unreal that I have this. Illegal almost

Carry-ons saved in Prague? ✅ LHR security passed? ✅ Gate to Pittsburgh found? ✅ If everything goes well, I should be in the GDQ city in about 10 hours

Once again shoutouts to Prague airport for casually promoting cannibalism

In about a week (Saturday 11th at ~5AM ET), I'm gonna have my little debut at @gamesdonequick.bsky.social's ADGQ 2025 on-site in Pittsburgh, with some good old Deus Ex Any%. A little nervous, but VERY excited. Gonna try to squeeze as much practice as possible into my schedule this weekend.

New video this thursday at 6PM CET. We're going to have a watch party in my Discord when it comes out (discord.gg/pX3vDUBk) Come thru if interested :]

That's one cyclist you don't wanna mess with on the road

This last NSG Fall, @heinki.bsky.social and I did a run of Deus Ex Coop (HX mod), full of never before seen stuff happening, which lead to us discovering a major glitch and key speedtech live during a marathon run Shoutouts to @nsgmarathon.bsky.social

After some heavy derust these past couple of weeks, I finally managed to beat my Mirror's Edge Any% PB yesterday, but the road to sub40 is still long. Gonna focus on it a bit more before I'm gonna have to be responsible and switch to Deus Ex practice www.twitch.tv/vahisht

Introduce yourself with four video games. I'm a massive fan of stealth games, but I only was able to start feeding that passion relatively late since I didn't really have access to many games or consoles growing up. But Deus Ex specifically was a great eventual intro to speedrunning

oh hi yeah that me

nice

I took a screenshot some time ago of a random group of friends meeting and talking about making an event (not everyone is in the picture unfortunately). Months later, we started @sumofbesti.es and TODAY finished our first event. Really proud of what this gang has achieved 🙏

We are thrilled to announce that Marathon Alliance is raising money for @projecthopeorg ! 🙌 Their humanitarian work worldwide is a beacon of light and hope, and by collaborating with them, we we can help them make the world a better place! 💪 👉 horaro.org/ma/schedule

Meet Heinki, he could lift the Content Team.

1/3 Still processing AGDQ, but before I can fully focus on that there's more to do. This weekend will be the Marathon Alliance event, European events coming together to collab on one big marathon. Couple things I'd like to share:

ooooooooooooooooooooooh boy As it turns out, I will be making a visit to the US for AGDQ25 Still buzzing

Hekathon Offline 2024 happened last week, an event that is really special to me. I've decided to gather some thoughts in an inconveniently formatted stream of words. pastebin.com/ff8CGRCL
