HAPPY 2026 EVERYONE!! 🎉🎉

Thanks to the new C-Up slide method for bypassing the 30 star door, I completed SM64 with just one star for the first time :)

Managed to get a low 8:2X time (without loads), some notable mistakes but otherwise went very well. Thank you @itzpaige.bsky.social for organizing this event and raising money for a great cause, and thank you so much @simplistic6502.bsky.social for helping with commentary!

Surprised I still get followers on Bluesky and Speedrun.com, I hardly post or do anything :(

She is quite a gamer

My SMB1 warpless speedrun is now algorithmically more valuable than my any% run. Guess that's what happens when you don't PB in any% for over two and a half years

First time trying to render an oscilloscope view of a full game soundtrack: youtu.be/H1zUODJKbGk Surprised no one's done this with the PC-98 Touhou games tbh

I wish I knew music theory because then I'd be a lot more comfortable doing chiptune stuff

The world is fucking scary and I'm really sorry for any minorities who've been affected by hate crimes and violence. Fuck Reform, Fuck Elon, Fuck Tommy, Fuck Trump and fuck anyone who spreads hate against people who've done no harm. Spread love, not hate.

Shoutout to the time I chose to represent my SMB1 Any% speedrun with the trans colors without realizing it

Not having Internet for a day really makes you realize the importance of offline media, and it's a crying shame so many avenues of enjoyment have become tethered to online services where you might not have access to what you're paying for the moment you lose your connection

@web2000.bsky.social and I have been working on a major overhaul of the Super Mario Bros. Definitive project to celebrate SMB1's 40th anniversary; still plenty to do but hoping to showcase our progress by the end of the month!

I fail to understand why people use social media as a means to self-indulge. Do people find it enthralling to listen to someone constantly gloat about themselves? Is socialization supposed to be making everything about yourself?

A lot of nice souvenirs from my trip to Madrid, many of which were gifts from when @aryll.tgirl.gay was in Japan; thank you so much Alva! Only problem is that now I have two copies of JP Mario Sunshine 😵‍💫 Also very happy with my purchase of a CIB SNES Mini, which I got for only €85!

I love all my friends ❤️

Is it worth upgrading from a 2017 Switch to the OLED? Haven’t touched my Switch in a long while but I know the backlog is insane and I’d like to dig into some of that. I’ve always preferred docked mode but the improved battery life and screen quality seem enticing for handheld play.

I think I’m completely disinterested in mainstream gaming at this point because I could not care less about the Switch 2 reveal, not to mention that I have zero reason to pick up a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S lol

I wonder where I’d be if I locked in on NESdev instead of speedrunning

To my speedrunning followers, would anyone be interested if I were to pursue content creation surrounding technical aspects of SMB1/2J? Could take the form of a blog or periodic videos. Just feel like there’s a lot of interesting information that would otherwise be lost in Discord messages.

Honestly looking forward to using this site more, given the direction Twitter has been heading. The amount of toxicity coming from that site was certainly overwhelming and not something I want to have in my daily life. To anyone else jumping ship, welcome! o/
