Fallout S2E5 kinda cooked holy crap it's almost like Johnathan Nolan is good at this shit

2026 Media thread (I've been doing very little speed running lately so I actually am consuming other media, crazy ik)

E33 thoughts Great game that is more or less ruined for me by the dodge/parry mechanic. Press a button and be invulnerable to all damage kinda makes actually engaging with the (very cool) mechanics each character has because if you can press the take no damage button ur at no risk of losing anyway

Ez 1 for the moat

I always forget to post about these things but I'm Melbourne for PAX! Met a couple of cool people at ACMI today too which was pleasant surprise. In a touch under 18h Vi and I will be running HK Blackout TE Rando for ASAP! Very excited, and it will be streamed on the AusSpeedruns twitch as usual

I'm out of town so won't be in this one, but it's a stacked event, tune in if you can. Special mention to the plando at the end too, I was fortunate enough to play test it and it's poised to be a blast

NGL gang silksong TE is hard. Thankfully its also sick as hell so that makes it worth the slog. It will be a million times more manageable with better debug tools and videos of a finished run but I'm also not under any time pressure so I can take it slow

I really hope true ending runs for silksong end up not being held down by quests requirements because it is such a fun game to move around and fight in, it's just the category that actually interests me seems like it's going to have a ton of filler atp

It feels surreal

Finished the DLC and All Achievements for Crosscode! Top 3 game for me, and my hands took it very well. It's definitely a game I am eager to run once the Skong hype dies down, especially if it's not something I end up playing in a sr context. Hard, but that makes it a good long term thing

"If you see this, quote this post with 10 games to get to know you by" FUN ONE okay: 1. Hollow Knight 2. CrossCode 3. Super Metroid 4. Bloodborne 5. Outer Wilds 6. PMD Explorers of Sky 7. Super Smash Bros. Melee 8. Divinity Original Sin 2 9. Fallout: New Vegas 10. Portal 2

This direct is down there with the farming one lol v

Won my 3 line rando race for ASM :) ez for the goat

fc9f16b2-8a7c-4be2-8b24-501d1f5bc6c3

Pack it up f1 has peaked

I be yapping, I be running, I be yapping again

Fuck it Pacers sweep I am convinced it is fate at this point

Idk how the Isle of Man TT is still running but I am not complaining. Coming from the safety standards of F1 and seeing wheelie bins and stone walls lining the sides of the circuit is just mind blowing, all on a sidecar averaging like 180kph

Bunch of really cool ppl doing really cool runs, and I'm in there too!

Speedrunners love to put "Best Possible Time" in their splits but then you watch them and they're having the worst possible time.

After getting 54 33:XX runs, finally got a 32 tonight!

This is the saddest PB..... 28s to Uumuu

Won my first race with a very solid time. Next up is the winner of Skate v Jackbolt so I'm kinda cooked but that's why they made loser's bracket

Forgot to post on here but I am derusting any% for the tournament (first match tomorrow) and I have taken my pb from a 33:46 down to a 33:08! Playing really well lately, and am able to 33:xx most runs now. Will keep pushing for a 32 or better, and see where we end up posting tournament!

It's been many years since I've been able to support my local scene, but glad they're being recognised for what they do best - community and authenticity.

Well hello there, guess this is my first time posting a pb to bsky :D Got a new world record and got the first ever 47 in All Skills using itemless baldur!

18 aces in a 3 set game of volleyball tonight incl 7 in a row, we may be so back

HK8Y complete! Favourite one yet, had an absolute blast. The plando was an obvious highlight but the last minute SPINACH% run vs Vi was also super fun! The silksong trailer was also amazing, shoutouts to everyone who makes events like this possible <3

Twitch's change to highlights is short sighted and a blow to speedrunners. I am feeling lucky I used highlights solely as a way to trim videos then export them to YouTube. Even then having them in 2 places was nice, and that will have to stop. I'm at 93h so thankfully don't have to comb thru it all

In a little shy of 7h from this post I will be racing in the 2v2 plando race! It will be streamed on hollowknightcommunity on Twitch and should be a super good race. It will be using foolish+ logic settings, which means we should see a bunch of unique and interesting skips and sequence breaks!

Oh uhh hi everyone I will be participating in all 3 days of HK8Y, doing assorted commentary as well as racing in the 2v2 hard plando by kamakiller and purenail with Valentin MK. It was the highlight of the event for me as a participant last year so I am very excited to run it back!

Actually wild how much Summoning Salt has that dog in him when it comes to speedrunning and still has the motivation to make so many high quality video essays on a bunch of games, I can't even do one of those for more than a couple of months

With Civ 7 coming out my housemate is now getting to enjoy the game he's been waiting for for ages It should have been me

I can't add multiple videos to one bsky tweet so i'm just putting links, but I found a few new love key skips today :) youtu.be/hOJztTtjhec youtu.be/l1m6U12TDT4 youtu.be/j6KYMklYAhw

This is prob the stupidest skip ive done

I'm a little nice with it actually pt 2

I'm a little goated with it actually

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

Going from Polar Express to Die Hard as our Christmas movie has been maybe the best choice l have made in the December

Got my first gold card! Been liking 1x mew and 2x mythical slabs in the M2EX deck too, adds even more consistency. Going first I can have 10 cards left in my deck which is crazy
