mirror temple b-side! really happy with how this turned out. the combo of yoshi and theo is really cool with all the item juggling, dismounts, and item spits/eats. might be the hardest level yet? looking forward to the RTA attempts and making the next level!

2nd bside level done i think. finally made it out of the smw retirement home, heres hoping it doesnt take another 3 years to make one level lol real shit though, i think this level is pretty cool! happy with how it turned out. RTA attempts soon, i was just excited to share the design completion :D

i finished the skylanders any% glitchless video tutorial series! spent a lot of time the past few months working on it and im really glad to finally publish this. hoping this will get more people to consider learning the run and this awesome speedgame :D www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Finally graduated with my Master's degree! Really proud and happy to be done with it (although the CS job market sucks, if I know you and you/someone you know is hiring DM me lol). School is the big reason I haven't been as active, but I'm back and I'll have more to share soon!

1:31!!!!!!!!!! This is an absolutely phenomenal run, played around a minute off SOB which is genuinely wild for this category. Certainly improvable, but my goal was to take back WR/break the minute barrier and I absolutely succeeded. Amazed by what I've done to this category over the years. (1/2)

Life's been busy and stressful lately. Handling it well, but speedrunning is definitely on the backburner right now. I have some projects I'd like to get to soon, but they'll only happen once I'm ready. I have a lot I want to do, but such limited time.

got a 17:28 small only run for NoGlitchesAllowed... with a DEATH IN YOSHIS ISLAND 2 (i missed PB by 3 seconds like yeah sure) (really happy to have nailed the midairs and SW4 first try though, overall solid performance i think)

Please observe down below in his natural habitat, the small Mario, running with all his might, being controlled by the ever wonderful @markalarm.bsky.social, showcasing his expertise with an SMW small only speedrun (I hope you all love midairs 👀)! www.twitch.tv/noglitchesal...

Running Hades 3 Weapons in about an hour for Game Over, Cancer! Catch the stream if you can :D www.twitch.tv/strizer86

Arbitrary code execution being possible in SMB2 was not on my bingo cards but here we are! (Inputs up to 4th room are by HappyLee)

I'll also be running Super Mario World Small Only for No Glitches Allowed! While it may be vanilla SMW, if you're at all familiar with kaizo and some of the hard tech there, you're in for a real treat with this category. Nervous about running such a hard category, but excited to put on a good show!

I'll be running Hades 3 Weapons for Game Over Cancer, kicking off the Friday runs! There will be a bidwar to determine which weapons I run, so it'll be interesting to find out what I run when that time comes! Full schedule link: horaro.org/goc2025/sche...

i think today was one of the craziest speedrunning days ive ever had. hades - achilles spear - 9:26 -> 7:55 smw - 11 exit (glitchless) - 11:10 -> 10:59 smw - small only - 19:14 -> 17:25 (immediately after the 10:59!!!) i genuinely cant believe how well i played today (1/3)

Today I finally reached my goal of sub 10 with all weapons in Hades! Sword - 8:47 Spear - 9:26 Shield - 9:22 Bow - 9:03 Fists - 9:00 Rail - 7:52 Not sure what I wanna run next... there's so many choices between new games to learn and old games to derust. Only time will tell I suppose!

My favorite optimization problem has to be completing video games, and this time I intentionally went too far. Here's Super Mario Bros. 3 completed in five microseconds, through the power of moving NES cartridges at multiple hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK7h...

Feeling good about Hades runs lately :) nearing my goal of sub 10 with all weapons, then I'll probably shift focus. Nemesis Sword / 8:47 Demeter Fists / 9:00 Achilles Spear / 9:26 Eris Rail / 7:52 Also submitted Hades, MC, SMW, and We Ski to a couple events, so that might sway my upcoming grind(s)!

i've been pretty absent from social media aside from periodically checking DMs and notifications lol here's something I made a couple of weeks ago: a music visualizer running inside SMW (made to work with AMK songs/ports specifically) my snes and spc700 asm adventure continues...

sadly this is a moment of no vid no did. given this was literally one attempt on a whim for shits and giggles im sure i can improve it but goddamn

Had the record for 3 years and took it back within a week. There's about a second left to take, but I'm very happy with this. I'd rather not have to push this category further, but I will if I have to. youtu.be/Kq-nOsrq9oY (New WR was a 57. My PB was a 59, not a 1:07. These were derust splits)

finally lost the casio get credits WR and by extension, i no longer hold any WRs that have any amount of competition. thought i had that one on lock, but i was unfortunately proven wrong. determined to take it back, but it'll be a hell of an order.

no joke this new SMW tech is the most exciting thing to happen in a loooong time and someone's gonna get a 1:20:xx in 96 exit

22 -> 23 birthday yippee :D might stream something random during the day for fun idk

2024 reflection and 2025 goals (1/7) 1:32 in SSA any% glitchless (lost WR tho) played hades for the first time, ended with sub 10 (sword/nemesis) improved minecraft PB improved celeste PB learned SMW 0 exit and small only made pokemon platinum map rando consistent

Doing a Pokemon Platinum map randomizer for RRLAT, next up! It's a coop run, so my friend and I will be working together to get the map finished in a timely manner (4:30:00 estimate). If you can afford to check it out, even for a bit, I'd really appreciate it :) www.twitch.tv/reallyreally...

The end of the semester has been a living hell! But we're getting through and I'll be back to doing more fun things soon. The big upcoming things are: Platinum map rando event run SSA any% glitchless tutorial Learning a proper pokemon speedrun Doing more challenge run stuff Exciting stuff ahead :D

GB Studio has come to the NES! You can build games for the NES, using the world-class toolset found in GB Studio! #gbstudio #gameboy #nesdev github.com/michel-iwani...

I contributed one level to a collab hack that's been in the works for the past 3 years. Despite my minor involvement, I'm proud of what I made and of the other Kaizo Literature Club members involved with the project. Check out "Ode to the Original Sin", out now - www.smwcentral.net?p=section&a=...

I took a stab at making a starter pack for the SMW community. If you know someone I've missed, let me know so I can add them. Also thank you for 69 followers. I'm glad you are all here. go.bsky.app/AF5xo1b

yay sub 40 celeste new pb (offline no recording, just for fun). im honestly not sure what i wanna run next? debating between getting better at games ive already ran or learning new runs and expanding my repertoire. 2024 has been such a good year for me with speedrunning, hope the trend continues :)

I'll be doing a Pokemon Platinum Map Randomizer run for an event in roughly 30 minutes! Stream will be at twitch.tv/wildwestmara.... Looking forward to my first showcase of a Pokemon run :) Also congrats to everyone I know that got a GDQ run accepted :D (I didn't submit)

hi im here now too yippee
