Started the year wondering if I could get a sub-37 in Tony Hawk's Project 8, and I got a semi-good run (36:16). Here is the new record, I will almost definitely be going for sub-36.

Happy New Year! As of this moment, I have stepped down as community admin for the THPS Speedrun Community. I will still fulfill my roles as mod for P8, 2X, and a few others, but it is time I step away from some things - and that, unfortunately, includes admin'ing for the community I love most.

In May, Twitch deleted 100K speedruns among millions of other videos. With the help of ArchiveTeam and @archive.org we saved these speedruns and 500K+ other popular Twitch videos. My search tool for viewing these archives is now live! archive.speedrun.club

Was hoping to maybe have the THPS2 history video done by the end of the year, but that won’t be happening; I haven‘t touched it since late September. I‘ll get to it eventually, but mental health issues are a bitch.

Project 8 is a silly game. I am now trying to do analysis of the game on different Xbox 360 kernel versions to determine which would be the best for Any%, just to eek out like an extra few seconds. Each kernel version changes so much!

It's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2's 25th anniversary tomorrow/today. I put out a new version of my patch for the PC release that I think finally makes it the definitive version to play: github.com/PARTYMANX/pa...

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

just outright smacking the sign

Crunchyroll revoked their Library Outreach Program which allowed public libraries to access their streaming library for free, destroying anime clubs across the country.

Terrible news this morning hit the THPS community, we learned of the passing of Coop. Had the honor of having him on GDQ showcasing THAW last fall for our community celebration of THPS, he was the best to do it. Rest well, fly high man, we miss you dearly. youtu.be/w4bf_m30rL0?...

Pete Parsons finally got outed from Bungie. Good riddance, asshole.

I really want to wangle my priorities in a bit more soon. I’ve had several projects on the back burner (to include the thps2 video), and I just can’t get around to it.

People that Bsky protects: •Transphobes pushing for my rights to be stripped •People who commit sexual assault/harassment °people who defend people who commit sexual assault/harassment. People Bsky does not protect: •women •members of any minority group

super interesting that bsky has suspended the accounts of two prominent trans women this week, both of whom were critical of known transphobes and used fairly tame language. it's probably nothing.

The biggest complaint I have for Battlefield 6 is that it’s insanely annoying to play matches if you have more than 4 friends together. Party size is 4. You join a session, and once the match ends you will be matchmade separately. Make a system (call it Platoons or something) for parties of 4+.

In one hour's time, I will be doing a charity speedrun of Tomb Raider 3 for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!! It is my job to beat the game, and it is *YOUR* job to stop me! Come hang out!! www.twitch.tv/threealpaca

People fuck up, sometimes over something silly or something they shouldn’t have said or done. While there are some things that cannot and should not be forgiven, it’s how you take that mistake and grow that shows who you really are. Second chances are okay.

THPS3+4 speedrun boards are now open! Barely over a week in and we've had a lot of IL battles. Keep an eye out on it! speedrun.com/thps34

this still makes me giggle uncontrollably

I want a NFS Underground, Underground 2, Carbon, or Most Wanted remake… but seeing how a decent amount of people are reacting to a lot of songs for THPS 3+4 not returning, I can bet those games would go through a similar upheaval.

I am hosting a THPS3+4 Speedrun Mode tournament. Qualifying starts July 20th, with the tournament officially starting on the 28th. Prize pool is $550. If you are interested, some info is posted on our main site: thps.run/tournament Will post more soon. Would love to see a lot of peeps join :)

PokemonAce just released a new vide on how far you can play THUG2 without pressing the ollie button - check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1KP...

Like 3 days ago the CEO of DuoLingo said everything will be AI soon, now he's backpedaling, bullying works

Sony’s purchase of Bungie has got to be an all-time grift

*crab-walked

I did this today. First certification in like 4 years, dunno how I passed this lmao

Smh GDQ can’t handle the P8 invisible skater meta

I am announcing my retirement as a professional Project 8 player to realize my dreams as a Power Ranger (I've never watched the show): thebestinthe.world

Twitch has extended the auto-deletions to May 19th. *Most* Twitch videos for the THPS community are backed up.

Decided to bite the bullet and refactor a lot of old, terrible spaghetti code for thps.run - scope creep be damned.

Hey all, taking the leap and putting in the two weeks at my current job. Still looking for marketing/social media/executive assistant/performing arts opportunities in the greater PA/NJ/NY Area, would love to connect: business: [email protected] msheppard1999.wixsite.com/michael-shep...

Vibe coding is going to lead to the most asinine security threats in history.

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

Humanity peaked with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

Twitch will start deleting VODs on April 19, 2025 which may affect your Speedrun.com runs. New RaR updates for SRC: • Updating a run’s video URL now clears its “At Risk” status automatically • New sitewide announcements help spread awareness Check your profile’s "Pending" tab to stay safe!

I'm on Capitol Hill right now and I'm looking for some spines. Any spines? No? No spines? None? Okay.

Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the replies. The only thing he should be doing today is cleaning out his office.

Democrat leadership are the only ones who fail to come up with a sizable plan for literal months, literally do nothing, complain they are out of options, then vote for the worst option. Those who are complicit to this shit should be removed and shamed for the rest of their days.
