Cyberia in Silly Block, Thursday morning at SGDQ, tune in to find out what in the world this category is

Been watching a lot of people doing the Dark Souls enemy/item randomizer, use what you get, permadeath challenge and thought it looked fun for some reason, trying it out for myself twitch.tv/lifel1ke

The follow-up to my SGDQ26 stats post, now with games list data! Looking at the %s for platforms and franchises, it seems like the accepted runs are a good representation vs % of submissions, particularly when looking at the minute count when not including backup runs. Google sheet link in replies

The day has finally arrived, Cyberia at SGQ2026

My newest guitar build video is finally up, and this time it’s Nevan from Devil May Cry 3 youtu.be/5vPrTg9LgZI

I threw together some tables based on the publicly visible SGDQ submissions list, just because I find this kind of data interesting. Mostly trivial at this point, but there could be more to analyze once the games list is available for comparison on May 1st. In case anyone else finds it interesting:

My submissions for SGDQ. I feel like three of these have a good chance at getting in, and the other two are wildcards that probably won’t make it, but throwing them out there just in case.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

Jeopardy answers are supposed to be in the form of a question, and people always use “what is” or “who is”, but they don’t say that the questions have to make sense. I need someone to be up there answering with things like “when is teeth?” Or “why is George Washington?”

Hit my goal time for Hell Is Us! This is probably as far as I’ll try to push this run for now, unless new strats are found.

Managed to get a 2:11 after two attempts. It wasn’t a clean run by any definition, but not as long as I thought it might be after my casual play through. Hoping to get something like 2:05 soon.

It’s technically not the 9th anymore for me, but I am now officially old enough to post this pic

Starting my 2026 Reading thread by re-reading Neuromancer by William Gibson. The book that kickstarted the cyberpunk genre, and a much better reading experience the second time around because it likes to throw a lot of jargon at you with little to no explanation. I would definitely recommend it.

I finally learned a speedrun that I’ve been meaning to get to since 2018. Doing my first full runs now twitch.tv/lifel1ke

A friend recently caught me off guard by asking if I would make a box for his dad’s ashes. He gave very little direction other than how big it should be, so I brainstormed for a few days and came up with this. I also found out the hard way why no one makes triangular boxes. He liked it though.

Announcement 📣‼ We're fundraising for @doctorswithoutborders.org this Tuesday as part of the SGDQ Ambassador team! I'm bringing back 25 of my old speedruns to try my hands at a speedrun bingo! Can donate starting right now to help unlock those milestones! gdq.gg/donate/bloodthunder

A much better run than last time, sub 6 is definitely possible with really good random encounter rng, but I won’t be the one to grind for it.

Running back Summoner - All Quests for sub 7 twitch.tv/lifel1ke

The deed is done. Will probably run it back at some point for sub 7 since I improved my notes a lot during this run.

Man, I barely even stream and even I’m over Twitch’s new 100 hour video storage limit. Luckily I was already in the habit of exporting all PBs and worthwhile clips to YT so I shouldn’t have to do anything, but it still sucks.

Just had this video pop up in my YT recommendeds. It was a good watch, and I kind of wish more game devs had this sort of attitude about speedruning www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WMu... (game looks pretty good too) #NotAnAdIveNeverSpokenToThisGameDevBefore

The horrors persist, but so do I

Since I just finished the first book that I’ve read this year, I’m going to start a thread on books as I read them, mostly to try and get myself to post more.

I let my dog outside to relieve herself this morning, and while she was out she wandered into the hedge between my yard and the neighbors’, and came back out with a whole baked potato (they were not outside cooking). So anyway, that’s how my year started.

I finally got around to editing the video for the only guitar I finished in 2024, a neat little 8-string, multi-scale, headless thing youtu.be/LCBsbD1kmWM?...

Hi, I mostly post about silly speedrunning BS, but I also build fancy custom guitars, and make build videos of those guitars for YT, like this one: The Crucible guitar from DOOM Eternal: youtu.be/9_GQVg5ODSY (IG and Reverb shop links in bio)

I finally got around to watching Star Wars: Andor. For a show about a character whose backstory I wasn’t really interested in, it managed to keep me invested the whole time. It’s amazing what Star Wars can be with good writing.
