It's the start of a new month, and also being December surely I'd look to do some new and fun things with the stream right?
Nope! Not yet at least, still a lot of the same speedrun stuff.

Cake in two big Strive events getting second place to two different, well established Japanese players, while also taking out big names along the way...
If the international Strive community wasn't already aware of him, a lot of respect needs to be given to him and how much he's put OCE on his back

If I'm watching a speedrun event, not a personal stream of a speedrun, but an event to showcase runs, I dont really want to be hearing every grievance you have with the game.
If at the end of the run im not sure if you actually like the game, or wondering why you run it, thats a problem imo.

In the past if we've been having internet outages id go to our service provider and theyd respond with essentially "well its fine on our end."
At least this time theyre aware that something went wrong and theyre trying to sort it out before i even bring it up. I love australian infrastructure 🙃

There we go, stream schedule for the week.
The Friday and Saturday streams I'm not sure what I'm doing with yet, I'll figure that out over the course of the week.

I so very much want Cake to qualify, hes been working his ass off to give himself the best possible chance.
And doing so from OCE would be an absolutely massive achievement.

Gobou's win at BeePro Cup with MetallicCake taking 2nd makes the race for the point qualifier very intense!
Originally we had predicted that 350 would be enough to qualify, but we may have to change our estimates!

Im at that point in street fighter 6 where i feel like i can kinda hold my own in the 1600s with Blanka. Sure every now and then ill have a session where ill donate about 100 points, but being able to get back there feels pretty good.
Next step, maybe 1700s.

I keep on seeing stuff about Riftbound, and Id really want to get involved in it if only because of how invested ive been in LoR since its beta.
Things that are currently keeping me from getting some cards is availability, current economic situation, and how often id get to play irl.

Hand editing your Windows Registry is not something I would normally recommend, but these instructions are simple and direct. Do exactly as directed and you'll be fine. If you get lost/stuck for some reason, tag me.
