Man, I really need to lose a bit more weight. I definitely let myself go slowly over the last 2 ish years. On the bright side though, I am down almost 10 pounds from a few weeks ago, so that’s a huge W in my book. And this is with still letting myself have sweets once or twice a week :)

So apparently the Dino Crisis 2 E3 demo used the original menu sounds from DC1. Man it was a mistake to replace these in the final game, idk why but I love these sounds so much lol

Maimai score dump from today with @dylwingo.standingintheodds.com and @whitepaaws.bsky.social

Planning for Japan is so mentally draining. But oh boy is this trip going to be legendary. Less than 3 weeks now, almost there 🙏

🥊#tifa #ff7 #ティファ

Who would have thought when you increase inflation thanks to self inflicted tariff bullshit, screw over consumers and businesses, use your personal gestapo to arrest US Citizens, get your cronies to constantly lie for you, and many other things, your candidates lose in epic proportions! 🤔

Got one more haircut before Japan at the end of the month. Im also speaking at my University on Thursday, for a career mixer event. Definitely had to clean up for that too ✂️ 💈

Speaking of Japan, tonight we got a reservation for the Pokemon Cafe in Tokyo. The website crashed 50 billion times, but just like the Ghibli Museum in 2023 I somehow made it through. Let’s go 😭😭

Going to do the "I am going to use this platform more" and only post my Japan trip photos and such on here, not Twitter. :)

Anyone else just not have the ability to do anything when you’re stressed about something? Lol

Just when I started to have the motivation to speedrun again, and I started actually practicing FF7 again offline, my PS2 decides to shit itself and the ribbon cable is now scratching my discs 🙃 Back to being inactive on again because I also cant stand doing casual and getting almost no viewership

Package from AmiAmi that was supposed to be returned, due to suspension of Japan Post into the US thanks to orange crybaby’s tariffs, ended up making it’s way to me after all!! Lets go!!! FUCK TRUMP FUCK TARIFFS I WON AND DIDNT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING 🥳

Actually got a haircut im happy with…is this real life???? 😮

Played through Resident Evil Remake for the first time, after replaying OG PS1. Super good remake, I was very impressed. Took a bit to adapt to early game strategy with being frugal on ammo / healing, but after that we were solid. Also technically a "spooky game" for October. 😊

I leave for Japan exactly 2 months from today. I will be there for three full weeks this time around too. I seriously cannot fucking wait to be back there. Probably going to cry when I arrive 😂😭🇯🇵

NOBODY WINS WITH TARIFFS Had a package I thought was going to ship before de minimis got repealed, sent back to Japan, due to suspension of JP Post thanks to shitty tariffs. Not going to be able to import anything from Japan for a while. Will have to snag these on my Japan trip in December I guess.

2:10 HOLY SHIT!!!

Just a fluffy Pokemon and his trainer..I recently won TWO of these giant Eevee’s from the Round 1 crane game. Literally insane 😎🔥

I, uhh, went a _little_ hard at PAX LOL This plus the whole medical bills thing means I'm back on ice soup for the foreseeable future, but hey, it was worth it (especially with some insane deals like for batman forever arcade) Last photo is gifts from @dylwingo.bsky.social too :)

Mast(e^i)rp ece

At long last….Final Fantasy VII black label misprint. Got it for a steal too. Probably my best pick up this trip 😎🔥

Unofficial Seattle 2025 game haul, unless i find something else between now and Wednesday when I leave, which lets face it will almost probably happen 😂 Huge shoutouts to @jamiethebnnuy.bsky.social for gifting me Samurai Western ❤️ Gigantic PS2 grail game, amazing addition to the collection.

@dylwingo.bsky.social and I just beat The Adventures of Cookie and Cream. Truly the Dark Souls of co-op puzzle platformers released by FromSoftware in 2001 for the PlayStation 2. /j game was actually pretty easy EXCEPT for the circus world, FUCK that shit that world was ASS

I got extremely lucky this week and found my lifer Ringtail in the deserts of Arizona!! What a cute little creature, this is an encounter that I will never forget. #mammals

Would would have thought me, the guy who absolutely hated horror movies, would end up back pedaling and going on a horror binge over the last few weeks and ended up absolutely loving horror movies 😮

Haven't been buying much Pokemon lately, but the new set is getting leaked on Chinese TikTok right now, and yeah....the hype is not dialing down anytime soon. It's over before it even began. Thank god I have a preorder with Pokemon Center cuz now I am hyped 😂

10 years of speedrunning :) I could never have predicted that in that time, I would end up attending five in-person speedrunning events, getting several WRs, and meeting the greatest friends I'll ever have. To celebrate, I'll probably do a special multi-game run later this year.

最近ポケポケではシロナさんとガブリアスデッキにお世話になっています🫶 #ポケポケ #ポケモンイラスト

Stunner of a Mojave Rattlesnake found on an early morning enjoying the morning sun in the desert! #herps 🐍

Short hair summer or something like that idk 💈 ✂️

Here's a stunning Ring-necked Snake my friend @dylwingo.bsky.social and I found crossing a trail in the outskirts of Phoenix yesterday! It's crazy how different this species is here compared to the east coast, so much bigger and much more color. #herps 🐍

It's official everyone. I am going back to Japan in December 2025. Let's fucking go!! I am so excited, eager, happy, so many emotions. Cannot wait to return to my favorite vacation spot. I will probably cry when I get there LOL 😭

Found another R4 press kit. A lot of the same stuff, but a few new renders and... a layered PSD of the PAL box art?! 📀 archive.org/details/r4pr...

It's hilarious that even when you can admit you were wrong about something, or that you don't want to carry on a conversation anymore, there will still be people that need to get the last word in. Trying to 1-UP you and make themselves feel bigger. Honestly pathetic lol

What should i rewatch this weekend? The Matrix, Wanted, or Lord of the Rings?

Streamed for the first time in idk how long and played Mega Man 2 for the first time. My first MM game, played on Difficult and beat it in one sitting. Really hard game, but super rewarding to complete! 😊 Going to start Super Metroid tomorrow I think! Back to speedruns in due time!

Recent banger hits from my pack ripping 🔥

Life Update 😊

*1:01:14 Mental block defeated :^)

As much as i can acknowledge the Harris Campaign was a failure, it truly pisses me off how many people didnt hold their nose and vote Kamala, or to everyone that protest voted in the 2024 Election. Some people would rather watch the US burn to the ground than prevent this nightmare thats unfolding

So, uhh... I'm going to Japan next week. Not an april fools btw. April 7 I fly out for 10 days in the country (since I'll land on April 8, I'll have from the 8th to the 18th there). Gonna divide my time between Osaka and Tokyo. Will share tons of photos. I'm extremely hyped for this.

Bf just pulled me a god pack on Pokemon TCGP...

Shorter #ITLOnline2025 Set for Day 5 since I had @dylwingo.bsky.social hanging out and trading off plays! Dance games with friends is always a good time. Also who let the charter for Poppin' Cats cook this hard? 4 attempts for the 85 pass.

Introducing: Pink Gorilla Las Vegas! We’re excited to announce that PG’s first location outside of WA will open on May 1st. Find us in Vegas’s vibrant ChinaTown, at 4089 Spring Mountain Rd and follow @pinkgorillalas.bsky.social to keep up with all of our Vegas-related announcements and cool stuff!

Bought a mini tin of Prismatic with trade in credit i had at one of my Local Card Shops. Was not expecting anything tbh. 3 hits in 2 packs… Jolteon SIR and a bit after I pulled the Japanese counterpart from Terastal. LFG ⚡️⚡️ I think the Pokegods did this because im single on Valentines Day lmao

Managed to get a Journey Together ETB preorder from Pokemon Center. Secured that bag 🥳

Who else mainly collects Pokemon TCG in the speedrunning community? Would love to nerd out with some peeps ☺️

Dinged someone in the parking lot today for the first time in my 9+ years of driving. The guy was thankfully nice about it and it was light enough of a ding to hopefully not involve insurance, but OMG im so upset & mad at myself because it was totally preventable. Thought i had enough room to park
