Shoutout to all the infinistreams out there stuck in the void of the AWS outage

Finishing the story missions in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 so I can start learning the speedrun for it www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

I’ve played a lot of very bad games over the years specifically just for achievements, and while a lot of them deserve to be here, not many of them are interesting, so I’ll refrain. Instead, I’ll throw in the most unsatisfied I’ve ever been with an ending: The Book of Unwritten Tales 2.

I made this meme a couple hours after Silksong came out and just remembered that I completely forgot to post it anywhere, lol. It’s still relevant, right?

Playing Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 casually before I have to learn the speedrun for it but I’ve never watched Dragon Ball www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

These first two PBs were kinda insulting with how badly I botched things and how close I came to 38, but thankfully that third PB came in clutch and almost went straight to 37 instead. Going to be leaving Typoman alone for a while here, but I'll come back for that next minute if this gets into AGDQ.

100% accurate review of Silksong from my friend

Got my last submission recorded tonight, so now I've got my full slate of AGDQ submissions

Well, can't say I'm thrilled with this PB, but hey a PB is a PB. I lost so much time in chapter 2, at least a minute and a half, so even though I golded both chapters 1 and 3, this run still barely finished ahead. I will get that sub-39, but it is proving to be a challenge, lol.

More Typoman Any% runs to prep for AGDQ submissions www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

Go buy Levelhead right now, it’s on sale for $1 on Steam and Xbox, and $2 on Switch

This is easily my favorite dlc chart so far. I just wish I had scored a bit better this run, lol

Gotta love Twitch mobile, most recent update on iOS broke Picture in Picture mode so that it literally only works the first time you minimize the app. How does this make it into a public release.

About to do my run of Levelhead All Training Stages for Completithon! www.twitch.tv/noglitchesal...

Levelhead All Training Stages derust for Completithon next week! www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

In other news, I’m back on my Rift FC bullshit now

And there we go. Definitely got a couple of issues here and there with the game, but Silksong is overall a phenomenal experience. Only ended up looking up a couple things near the end, the vast majority of my playtime was all natural. Can’t wait to see what Team Cherry adds to it in the future, lol.

God, Silksong just doesn’t end (affectionate). There’s so much more every time I think I’m getting close to finishing, lol

I’m by no means done with the game, but I just rolled credits on Silksong for the first time. It’s impossible not to compare it to Hollow Knight, and I can’t say I prefer every major change between the two, but Silksong is in every way, shape, and form a proper successor to one of my favorite games

Learned the Any% run for Typoman, and I'd say the first real runs went pretty well. Unfortunately, this run had me get stuck in a wall, which lost over a minute, but oh well, it happens, lol. Pretty fun run with quite a few interesting tricks, though. Definitely want to go at least a little lower.

I want to try learning the speedrun for Typoman, but I haven’t played the game in 8 years, so let’s just play through it casually again first www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

I’ll be coming at ya with Levelhead All Training Stages (New Game) this time around. This is actually the first time this specific category has been in a marathon, which will be fun.

I have just been informed that due to the nature of crossover shenanigans, @illegallysam.bsky.social will technically be continuing the Zelda block with Rift of the Necrodancer! Come jam out to a a supposedly Impossible Showcase! www.twitch.tv/speeddocs

Well, if you need anything from me, you have two weeks before I drop off the face of the earth

I don’t know what made Atari decide in recent years to start letting indie studios make games using the IPs they own, but I am 100% here for it.

Went back to the funny Sam game and got a really solid pair of PBs. Not only did I improve console record by almost a full minute, I also beat PC WR by over 15 seconds as well, which I did not think would ever happen when I started running this. Really happy with this time even if it isn't perfect.

I did a practice run of Manual Samuel the other day and almost PBed by accident, so let’s actually do it on purpose www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

The Road to SDAT is live in 30! Come enjoy 12-hours of speedruns while we raise money for @savethechildren.org ! Starting us off, @qwillinallthefish.bsky.social will be running Kit's Quest! Afterwords, @illegallysam.bsky.social will show off Manual Samuel! Come hang: www.twitch.tv/speeddocs

Breaking News: Everhood has good music (this FC only took like 15-20 minutes, the rest are way harder, lol)

🐀🎲

Let’s do a 100% run in Levelhead (I haven’t practiced this category in over a year) www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

And here’s FC #10. I am unintentionally FCing all of the Nocturna songs before any other base game songs, lol. I guess I’ll need to start grinding Progenitor to complete the 4/4… (this will not go well)

Well, I was only 3 seconds off of console record before tonight, and now I'm ahead of it by almost 2 full minutes, lol. This run had almost no notable mistakes (just a bunch of small ones), so I'm really happy with this time. Didn't think I'd get sub-35, let alone by this much, but hey, here it is.

I’m only like 3 seconds off of console record in Manual Samuel, so let’s get it www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

And that’s Impossible FC #9. Only 23 more to go for the achievement, lol

Impossible FC #8 down, this time with an actually pretty good score

And there we have it, finally got sub-31 in Evoland. I've wanted this for over two years now, just never actual sat down and grinded long enough to actually get it, lol. Feels a tiny bit bittersweet to have such a bad final boss fight in there, but hey, I'm still quite happy with this time.

Let’s finally get the sub-31 in Evoland www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

A new friend has joined my Levelhead plushes

Finally sat down and grinded out the impossible FC on Ravevenge. I was sitting on 1 miss for like 3 months, lol

So there’s a great photo of me in the SGDQ album that I’ve already memed. Best part of looking through the album after every event, tbh

It took until literally the last 4 people I Streetpassed with at SGDQ, but after 14 years, I finally finished Puzzle Swap

Am I doing this right

Everywhere I go... I see her face.. Evoland run by IllegallySam at #sgdq2025
