Bogle beat my Faxanadu WR already! Grats to him!

What's next?! I've started learning Zelda 1, which seems to be a lot of fun. I have wanted to speedrun it for a while, but I'm still not 100% sure it's my next grind. Castlevania 1 has been suggested, and I have to say I'm pretty tempted with how short it is. Any suggestions are welcome!

I got the world record in my second NES game on Friday. This one was a lot of fun. I had never played this game growing up, but I know I would have loved it if I did. youtu.be/l9AhvpXTmQk?...

I've been off socials for a while now. It's been nice. I think Bluesky is ok, though.

It has arrived! I'm really enjoying this speedrun so far, so I had to get the cart. Those are the rules (except for Little Samson)

Saw Bob Dylan yesterday. I wish I had better seats, but it was still very good. That'd an artist I never thought I'd get to see live. #music #bobdylan #willienelson

I won the Zelda II 100% NMG tournament! That was a really fun one. I had never tried this category before the tournament started, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. GG's to everyone involved!

I don't know why it took me so long to get the cart, but now that I'm running the game, it's only right.

The SMB1 challenge seems to be going well. I'm almost halfway into the 25 hours I have to learn the speedrun and I'm almost done with the practice/learning part. Can I get a sub-5? I think so, but there are a few problem areas. We'll see!

After not much consideration at all, I've decided to join @junkyarddave.bsky.social and a handful of people in his "get a < 5 min run in SMB1 in 25 hours" challenge. This includes all learning, no off-stream practice. I'll start after I finish the Z2 remake.

I've been playing Hoverbat's Zelda II PC Remake the last couple streams, and it is incredible. I have only heard good things for the past year or so and it definitely lives up to the hype. It's kind of in between a remaster and a sequel. So many new things!

Short-ish but sweet stream today! I got the 100% NMG world record in Zelda II, then beat that the next run for two WR's in a row! #speedrun #retrogaming #zeldaii youtu.be/1yDEBk-foXY?...

I need to give this game another chance.

I would like everyone to know that my 45-year-old manager, who grew up and still lives in the backwoods of New Hampshire, just said "yeeted" in a sentence.

Mornin'

I spent a few hours on Sunday learning some of this speedrun and it's a lot of fun so far. While I'm still not sure what my next grind will be, I'm looking forward to running this game at least in the short-term.

Here's the new Zelda II World Record (1:12:52). This run was crazy because I knew it was going to be the WR early on. Can't explain it, I just knew it. I call it multiple times throughout the run. #zeldaii #zelda #retrogaming #speedrun #nes youtu.be/jOl2a8xdASw

This week I'm going to start learning the RBO(Reverse Boss Order) category in Zelda II. While I do this, I'll figure out which game I'll grind next with the community. I'm really up for most anything, though Zelda 1 does look super fun. 100% NMG Tourney is still going strong as well! I'm excited!

I am once again the Zelda II world record holder. What an absolutely wild run that was. #zeldaii #zelda2 #speedrun #retrogaming

This is Lonesome Lake. It's where I should be today instead of work. #daydreaming

My happy place. Marble Madness is a lot harder with the trackball, lol. #funspot #arcade #retrogaming

One of the riskiest things I've done in a run (I have one life) #zeldaii #zelda2 #speedrun #nes #retrogaming

Almost had it again today! I'm closing in...

I'm actually going to be streaming Fri-Sun this week. I just want to get a few things done for the stream and I might as well do that first, instead of after a couple streams.

I just spent 4.5 hours with no internet or phone service. AMA about living in the stone age

Wooo!

Almost had the record yesterday, but this schmuck did his job a little too well. #zelda2 #zeldaii

One of the bangers I repeatedly rented for my SEGA as a kid. I don't hear this game being talked about all that much. #Sega #retrogaming

Fri-Sun streams this week. Friday will be no reset runs. I need to fix my mentality and stop giving up before it's over.

THE SUN IS OUT!

Throwback to this bizarre glitch from 6 months ago lol. #zelda2 #retrogaming #speedrun #zeldaii #nes

I'm dying to fire up the Famicom disk system and run FDS. I think this is next if I can get the wr soon. #zeldaii #zelda2 #retrogaming #speedrun

MORNIN'

Debating making an updated, full All Keys 100% tutorial. It'll be a lot of work, but the current one is pretty dated at this point. #speedrunning #speedrun #zeldaii #zelda2

Does anyone know of a non-DMCA retro game playlist, or something that would go along with this BRB screen?

Why is it beautiful out when I'm at work and raining when I'm not?

I'll be back to the grind tomorrow morning (Sunday, 9am EST)!

Change of plans. Woke up at 4am with a fever. No stream today, we'll see how it plays out.

Unbeatable vibes. Little Nemo was one of my most played games as a kid. Who wouldn't want to throw candy at animals in a mushroom forest so you can ride them to glory? #nes #littlenemo #vibes

Stream schedule this week will be Thursday, Friday, Sunday.

Every few months or so, I talk myself out of buying this.

Finally got around to making backups for when I mess up the beginning of this Rebo kill jay_cee

New strat in Z2. It adds about 20 seconds to your run, but you get to talk to Error. #nes #zelda2

Did the 3D glasses work on this game? I played the hell out of it. I even bought some 3D glasses recently to try on it, but they don't work, and I don't know if it's the glasses or if they ever worked in the first place. #3dworldrunner #nes

Stream schedule this week will be Fri-Sun due to band practice moving. I'll be updating the schedule on my channel as well. WR this week!!

Denied! Oh well, fuck them ads anyway

I applied for Twitch Partner yesterday. A little conflicted about it but that purple checkmark would be nice. I figure I take 3 minute breaks every hour anyway, so I could play the brutal number of ads during those.

Turns out I am indeed sick as a dog
