Fun, packed homie 120 race tonight 😎 3 new golds in HMC, SL & BITS, also locked in a 1:46:28 which was +31 on PB. I can definitely see getting 1:06 upstairs if runs continue like this.

Labtober is doing work and I can't wait to start the grind.

How Xein scammed me

On June 28th, 2024, I purchased a controller from Xein64 that he had listed on the SM64 Discord Marketplace (link: https://discord.com/channels/82900589767299072/1254787514892419184). The price was €...

Starting October 1, I am excited to start learning the Super Marihour challenge! Always thought this challenge was cool and figured what better time to try than now. Come watch me learn and prep for the big run!

This Summer League surpassed my expectations. Went in with a goal of 2/5 categories, ended up not only doubling it, but accomplished my 5/5 shoutout goal, too 😱

GGs everyone! Homie Squad for life! 🫡💜

0 Star - 7:07 >> 6:55
1 Star - 7:37 >> 7:33
16 Star - 15:49 >> 15:42

this league was a roller coaster - started kinda poopy then managed to pb several times in 120 (which was unexpected with no practice) and then stagnation for the rest. tonight was a bit depressing but chat lifted my spirits and in a last ditch attempt.. still no pb, but my first sub-10 exit in 70 😭

lunar pbed last night and watching this popoff made me feel like i was 14 years old again waking up right before school and watching his 15:12 only a couple hours after it happened. speedrunning is so magical.

Not too many skips yet, but after several chokes continuing 1-star attempts, got another one in the book. 📖

This feels like an out of season April Fool's joke.

2 PBs, 2 minute barriers, 1 day. Between 16 and 120, I've accomplished my goals for league.

Today had 3 runs in 16-Star well on low 15:4X pace, 3 runs in 1-Star, one of them 7:2X pace... all scattered to the winds from BITS / throws.

Heartbreaking, but I won't be deterred. The short game push continues.
