Guess I finally got that god pack in the limited set

🏁 TIME 🏁 #UKSGBlue2025 is now officially over and we can now confirm that the grand total raised for @crisis-uk.bsky.social is ... £6753! Thank you all once again for your amazing genorosity and support. Without you, this marathon wouldn't be possible 💙

Youtube views are weird. I know full well people have watched a couple of my videos I released recently yet they are not showing any views against it at all. What the heck is with this? People watched it as my run had to be validated and it says "no views, no watch time" /doubt

Fantastic event as always! I am still a bit sad I couldn't show off Corgi% as my run but I'm still very happy for how any% went. Thank you everyone for such a great event - the work and effort put in to sort the tech issues and keep it all running cannot be understated. You are all wonderful

UKSG day 2 here we go!

Thank you all for watching and the support! I'll get corgi in next time...or shinobi

Going on now! Http://twitch.tv/UKSGMarathon

Last chance to donate for Corgi%. It gives me the best accessory in the game that barks and makes me invincible

Run is still on for 22:15. Incentive is 31% of the way there. If you wish to donate please do so against the incentive! I want to pet good doggos

Made it to UKSG Blue now! Gonna settle in. Do some practice ahead of my run tonight. Currently in for 22:15 GMT running Gestalt. Watch Incentives coming up as well as there's one for my run 👀 @uksgmarathon.bsky.social Twitch.tv/UKSGMarathon

We’re taking our karts for a spin as we try to not crash out from a Blue Shell! We join Proasek at the start line for #MarioKart 8 Deluxe - Cup Bid War for #UKSGBlue25! See which cup has won now over at twitch.tv/uksgmarathon

Back online for a couple more hours of practice. Shinobi will have to be Sunday! www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

It's difficult to overstate the influence Recettear's surprise hit of a digital English release was in terms of getting the Japanese games industry to turn their heads towards PC as a viable release platform. We all owe a lot to Andrew and his work and I'm so sad to hear this.

bit later than planned, but going live now. Last day of practice before UKSG! www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

Tomorrow will be a bigger stream for me. I have the day off work so starting from around 8am UK time(maybe 10-15m later) - I'll be streaming for 5-6 hours of practice and potentially a dark katana challenge run on shinobi! Going to be good (don't play hades 2, don't play hades 2, don't pl-)

*Remember, you're meant to practice for UKSG. You should not get distracted. Focus, practice, foc-* HADES 2 IS UPDATED TO 1.0. Now I shall obsess again for months

I'm so excited for Dynasty Warriors 3 remastered. Like that game was my childhood

Yo Deus Ex remastered?

🌕

Gestalt: Steam & Cinder Corgi% World Record improvement (01:06:38) - I even was behind by nearly a minute at one point so no idea how I pulled this back youtu.be/K51gaXTCstY

I’ve been a fan of Sonic since I was 3 years old, writing as a hobby since I was 17, and loved this ship since the first movie came out when I was 31. So excited to bring my skills, and something I’ve loved for so long, together for this 🪨🥚❤️

Cannot waiiitttttt. I'm going to do a fresh file for 1.0s release

A surprise near 2m PB/WR to Corgi%, never expected this today

Live with the Gestalt practice now. Let's see if this bug does anything for runs. www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

On a stream note, stream today will be from 4pm. I have a few things to do this afternoon then we'll do our second-to-last stream practice before UKSG next saturday. I'm testing a potentially big bug i found in gestalt to see if there is any value in it

work has been crazy the last while, so I haven't posted in a hot minute and realise it's usually just updates on streams. Sorry in advance, I know it comes across as spammy but I've been making a lot of progress and want it to continue. I do intent to make more general gaming/anime posts

Gonna cancel stream today. got a lot to do outside of things, I may try and run later tonight but for now. other priorities. Sorry all!

Impromptu stream - breaking in my new controller and practicing some Gestalt Corgi% for UKSG www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

So I didn't want to make this, but given they're still harassing and stalking me, I needed to write this up. This is regarding a runner known as Namesoom along with other individuals who have been harassing me for over a year. If there's any questions, feel free to ask them. And thanks for reading.

My 8bitdo pro 3 arrived finally today and it's so damn comfortable to use. Got to play around earlier with it and its the right weight and clickiness i wanted from everything. The Dpad is so nice too. So glad i got it in the gamecube colour variant as well. Just need to decide in button mapping now

Thank you all that watched today! Probably the biggest viewer count i've ever had on a stream to date. Shinobi is definitely one I'm going to stick to but it's going to take a good amount of practice and playing around to bring the time down. I love exploring and breaking open new games, it's so fun

Live now with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance! www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

Apologies on delay to stream. had to do some adulting and time escaped. I'll be starting in the next 20m provided nothing else changes. We're doing our first run of Shinobi Art of Vengeance to learn the routing and give us a base time to start on

UPS also better deliver my 8bitdo tomorrow. Two delays have been a pain to work around as i had to wait in all day. So hope it arrives early or will need to contact them

Finished up my 100% playthrough of Shinobi Art of Vengeance earlier. Fantastic game. Really good show and highly recommend. Started to map my speedruns on Tues/Wed so now to put them to practice over the weekend.

Silksong tomorrow is still a bit surreal to me. Is it happening? Is it really happening? Or are we about to get the biggest rick roll ever? (I'm excited but you can't help but be unsure up to the goal posts ahaha)

Apologies if I was not 100% with it on stream today. Turns out my wrist is in a worse state than expected so rest for now until my new controller arrives. I'm hoping it feels better on my hands than the dualsense is - as that hurts more than I care to admit to use.

New @animeuknews.net review! I take a look at the latest volume of Oshi No Ko, covering the Scandal Arc. animeuknews.net/2025/08/oshi...

It's been fun going back to watchin Wind Breaker again. We're about half way through Season 1 and really enjoying it. The fights are pretty solid so far, and the characters are good fun.

Finished my first playthrough of Ninja Gaiden Ragebound. This is super fun, I'm going to play through it on Hard mode now as well to get the other experience but I really enjoyed this. I am kinda tempted to try a speedrun, but will see. Hard mode first couple stage, oh boy. If this is how it is 👀

We are now live with the FINAL DAY of SpeedrunsDe's event at gamescom! Featuring some great games like, Counter-Strike 2, Dark Souls: Remastered and Portal! Head on over to www.twitch.tv/uksgmarathon to join in on the action!

I am quietly optimistic as well about Ninja Gaiden 4, I want to get my hands on a demo for it first to really be sure though

There was a couple of big highlights for me here: Hollow Knight Silksong Unbeatable Dawn of War IV Resi Requiem Cult of the Lamb expansion but outside of those I didn't have a lot take me. I don't particularly like Black Myth so the "one more thing" didn't take me at all but fun for those that did

MonHun x FFXIV is such a good collab choice both sides

BOOKS

The Sekiro Anime is fun to see but the animation doesn't look brilliant to start. still, it's a good choice to adapt
