28th run Confirmed not a fluke, or at least not entirely Feels really good to see no reds in this one because some runs truly make me feel like I've hit my skill cap and the runs I do finish are just luck to get to the end and/or be decent at all

Accessing...

26th run Uh, how about sub-1:28 instead This one feels like a fluke somehow but I'll take it. Just need to recreate it

25th run Sub-1:29 is approaching

24th run OKAY It's not a PB but it is another sub-1:30 making two in a row, and I recorded this one start to finish I think this is gonna be the submission at this point. Gonna upload the video but hold off on finalizing the submission just in case I get a better run today or tomorrow at a stretch

23rd run I was initially recording the run with commentary for a submission. Wasn't happy with 3 reds in a row, was surprised by the gold Mines, then so internally annoyed with the somehow 21s loss red in Experimental that I stopped the recording And naturally it's my first sub-1:30 Idk anymore

22nd run One skip one attempt sooner, not losing the 30 seconds that I somehow lost in CP, anything We were *so* close to sub-1:30 I have been streaming for hours fighting for this time and keep trying for one more Help, stop me, idk anymore

Hi! I'm sending this from a hospital because my wife, Marissa (currently asleep), is probably just hours away from giving birth to our very first child! As such, you won't see me on the internet for a while, probs til June! Because I'm freelance, no work = no money, so read on if you wanna help! 1/x

20th run New PB, *just* under 2 minutes ahead of the last one. Scraping closer and closer to sub-1:30, I can feel it in my bones Sub-1:40 on IGT is fantastic to see though, makes me feel like this will have stronger legs to stand on for submission if I can keep that going

18th run The SRC was officially opened today and with it came a rule change that we have to skip all cutscenes so as to not abuse the LRT- which we did 4 times (and really only those times) during Mines, so we forcibly have a 55~ second addition on all runs now But I still PB'd somehow???

17th run Couldn't sleep, decided to do one more practice And somehow it's my new PB? Which frustrates me deeply because I failed a skip in Mines for 90+ seconds so this could've been far better Once again tested some adjustments on Eight and this one finally paid off. Gonna try it again tomorrow

16th run Unfortunately not a PB, but it was a solid run for the most part regardless. I once again tested a slight adjustment to the route and if I didn't do that I may have actually been real close to tying my PB

15th run Broke the sub-1:35 barrier in spite of testing a slight routing change, attempting a new skip, and a scuffed final boss Got the usual pain skips earlier than I normally would which helped make up for some time here Pretty solid run overall

13th run Sub-1:35 was so close. If I got any of the platforming skips one attempt sooner or didn't get juked by the final boss on the initial cleanse attempt, I probably had it Baby steps.

Aisling has officially reset 10 of my runs by stopping or resetting my LiveSplit timer 🎉 No hotkeys are safe from this sleepy cat Help

12th run Got most of the skips pretty quickly which was great, but messed up the Digger boss in the Mines something fierce which cost me a solid minute at least

11th run Proper sub-1:40 both with and without the timing changes today Really need to remake my saves and start practicing all the bosses over and over with the current route's gear and upgrades. MPA, LM, and the mid-boss in CP all need better practice to avoid extra cycles that waste time

10th run Would've been my first sub-1:40 in spite of losing 3+ minutes on a skip because I was talking to family and didn't remember to hover instead of boost BUT Rules were changed today so time is now called as we transition into the final cutscene which adds about 1m40s So close 🤦‍♂️

Capcom embracing how incredible Pragmata is and how well it has performed thus far to spread Diana into the social medias of their other properties is a weird idea but I'm loving it

9th run Getting faster in the first two areas after a lot of resetting, but I'm still losing time to skips in Sector 3 and both my Eight fights today have been scuffed as all get out so that's just free time once I get a handle on it again

Never knew an episode of Jeopardy could get me so upset

8th run Took the weekend away, then used runs 6 and 7 to try re-learning everything on M+K and uh, yeah, I still don't really like it that much, but the reality is that hacking on mouse saves a lot of time and aiming is just better that way. Losing access to aiming-while-hacking is worth the trade

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY!!! To celebrate the occasion, the team put together this piece of artwork that we hope you'll enjoy! ❤️🌹

Oh yeah, also, the Pragmata soundtrack just dropped on Spotify, it's very worth the listen

5th run, <1:50 IGT Added the RTA time underneath the LRT and changed when I'm splitting each section, but that's most noticeable for Central Port since I'm splitting it as I leave the area for the final restock/upgrade instead of when I return and enter the final boss arena

And while I was doing that 4th run, the first official OoB skip was found Oh god 🫠 It was truly a matter of time, seeing some of the skips that already exist being real particular with abusing geometry, but as soon as you start clipping OoB the run starts to lose me

4th run First run with an IGT <2 hours, in spite of slow shopping Livesplit didn't save yesterday's PB somehow so ope Tried to learn M+K since hacking enemies is noticeably faster that way but I really can't stand how the game feels on M+K so I swapped back to controller halfway

Diana finds a cartridge #Pragmata

3rd run We have struck sub-2 hour

So I'm overpreparing in my routing, which is making my time massively suffer. Product of me never doing this before and my natural tendency to grab *everything* in games I thought this was a solid first time honestly, but I'm way off

It came to me in a dream God I wish I could draw so I could accurately recreate her crayon doodles for this

First run is in the books Only ended up writing out a general attempt at a route for the first two sectors and kinda winged the rest. Have a better idea of what to expand on from here now, but it'll likely be a piece by piece thing with each subsequent run

Alright that's credit roll number two. Skipped every cutscene except the final two because it's just too good, and it hits *just as hard* the second time. It's not fair. I really need to go get the True ending already

Pragmata already has an active thread for Archipelago development and since it's an RE Engine game there's a good base to start with You *love* to see it

Also like, I've never routed an actual speedrun before and have a disgusting degree of interest in trying to get Pragmata into a state that it could be submitted for SGDQ second round So any actual, experienced gamers that can help me learn how to do this in a couple weeks time would be appreciated

Finished. This is my GOTY, easily. I will be incredibly impressed if anything else comes out this year that takes over that spot. It gives me the same vibes I had when playing E33 last year, where it just stands so incredibly tall and strong with what it does. Incredible, unforgettable experience.

I genuinely can't stop thinking about Pragmata, so I'm squeezing in a few more hours of Pragmata www.twitch.tv/Xenadir

🤍🌕work🌕🤍 CAPCOM commissioned me to draw this special animation for the SF adventure game"PRAGMATA" to celebrate it's release! Give it a watch!! #PRAGMATA

Nearly 9 hour stream, somehow my save file is only logging 5.5 hours played but genuinely such an incredible game thus far. Wish I didn't have to stop for the day but I'm hoping I can play again tomorrow

I spent all week trying to get a bunch of ducks in a row so I could play Pragmata on stream today. This is my most anticipated game of the year so far, and I'm genuinely excited to see what the full experience is like Would love to see some friends pop in to say hello: www.twitch.tv/Xenadir

Pragmata reviews are coming in and things are looking real good 🙏🏼

Critic scores be darned, I really enjoyed the Mario Galaxy movie

Rumors of a new "classic-style" Star Fox with online multiplayer and I'm genuinely surprised I haven't seen anyone suggest Star Fox 99 based on the OG or 64

Modern ice cream shops are really sleeping on how delicious ice cream sodas are

Nothing I could do to get the file small enough to put directly on here, so I just tossed it unlisted onto YouTube. What's here is such a tiny fraction of what I've gotten to take part in and who I've met over the years, but it's still nice to see so much of it again youtu.be/kovgY6ffIaY

I've spent all day sifting through footage of events I've worked across the last 5 years to build a very quick reel to hopefully get a production gig, and I am reminded of how many absolutely incredible people I have crossed paths with in terms of talent, character, and personality

Dumbfounded to say I have rolled credits already

Just entered my first tertiary area of Pokopia and somehow the game keeps getting better
