It's kind of interesting. As time goes on and runs are accepted into GDQ, I actually got stopped for recognition a few times. And reception overall seems to stay positive. And it's funny and I'm okay with being a sleeper hit. So long as the run spikes donations and we have fun. Nothing else matters.

And pics from the run

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

In Minneapolis and ready for SGDQ

It's called Monster In My Pocket, yet the monsters spent the entire game out of pocket. #AGDQ2026

omg essa run de monster in my pocket tá hilária 😂😂😂

Monster Seeking Monster In My Pocket #AGDQ2026

This Monster in My Pocket run is cracking me up. Bringing Buffalo_Boone, Starwin, and Gygasblues back together was the right thing to do. #AGDQ2026

The final day

you'd think I'd remember if I took my adhd meds because they would help me remember taking them, even though I set up a reminder. I understand if that sentence is confusing - I swear it makes sense.

Been feeding a cat next door to my job the past couple nights and he let me pet him. I was gonna bring him home after work tonight and he wasn't there so I'm hoping he'll be there tomorrow so I can rescue him.

Hit 5.4 miles running yesterday. But also legs a bit tired today. At least it's a new PR/PB. I think the long-term goal will be 8 miles. Adjustments of expectations will be made if progress is heightened.

Chilling by myself for the most part so far on Thanksgiving. I always have things to be thankful for all the time. I'm grateful for a good life surrounded by good people.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Been a few months since I did some running, new PB on almost 5 miles Hopefully I'll break the 5+ next week

Games I've beaten recently: Dragon Quest 1+2 HD2D, God of War: Ragnarok, Once Upon a Katamari. Up next: Expedition 33 and likely Prime 4.

Wow. As a stoic and cynic of society, it's weird to feel hope. I really do hope the best to come out of these trying times is to reverse the damage so much that it goes into overdrive in the other direction.

Here we go again

note the legals: LRG's using Japan's arbitration system for orphaned games to reissue Little Samson—if you can demonstrate that you've made a genuine effort to contact/identify a potential rights owner to no avail, you can legally commercialise an old game by paying royalties to the JP govt, which…

Rolled credits in Tears of the Kingdom. Also played BoTW during the summer. I honestly like BoTW more. There's a lot of cool stuff in Tears, but I feel like it's hampered by just more of literally everything. Still a good game.

I actually did speedruns of this game. It's one of my favorite ps1 games. Low-poly is such a vibe

As a virtual boy fan, I still want the full dump of Dragon Hopper and more homebrew.

Can't believe I submitted an NES game to gdq.

I was browsing McPixel 3 screenshots and just came across this one. If you have any questions, you can just grab McPixel 3 for couple bucks right now and have them answered. store.steampowered.com/app/1338580/... And yes, this is in the game.

Started a new medication that actually works. First time in 15 years; my exhaustion, physical, and mental pain have been greatly reduced. Feelsweirddude

CW: Death Almost a week ago I learned that norimaki_sr had passed away. He was a fantastic person, a pillar of the Shantae speedrun community. He meant the world to many, including me. Since 2017, when he first popped in to support my SatPC attempts, he's been a dear friend, the best kind.

Hey speedrunners, would causing myself pain be considering TAS or cheating?

New King of the Hill is actually good

This shit is going hard at the gym

Been putting some time into Stellar Blade. As much as I'm told it's not some things. It definitely feels similar to a Nier Automata souls-like.

Rolled credits on post game in Bananza. It's a really fine game. I'd say up there with how people regard Super Mario 64. The way everything was brought together at the end was immaculate, and all the little inclusions from past games made it even better.

I swear, my next "job" will be motivational speaker or making a TikTok/Insta account on how to stand up for yourself. People are way too afraid of those in management roles or companies abusing them. Everyone deserves respect.

Gym week pic dump Did a dedicated cardio day and pushed beyond new limits. So close to where I want to be.

SGDQ25 pastebin - pastebin.com/EMVtPmKE An awesome event, incredible people; reflections, and evaluations to the future

Still working on the write-up. But I'm well-rested and all the good vibes are flowing. Time to get shit done.

I'm not a big farewell person, my social battery dwindled the last couple of days. So it's not you, it's me. As a static and dynamic ideal, GDQ gets better and better each event. I thought AGDQ25 was the best, but I'd say SGDQ25 was better. Until next time, friends.

The run collection

Final meal with the crew
