I always forget to post about these things but I'm Melbourne for PAX! Met a couple of cool people at ACMI today too which was pleasant surprise. In a touch under 18h Vi and I will be running HK Blackout TE Rando for ASAP! Very excited, and it will be streamed on the AusSpeedruns twitch as usual

I'm out of town so won't be in this one, but it's a stacked event, tune in if you can. Special mention to the plando at the end too, I was fortunate enough to play test it and it's poised to be a blast

I loved it, and playing it more with an eye to speedrunning the combat is so good. The movement felt really crisp first time through, and I appreciated having a voiced protagonist and a more alive world. It really felt like they had the extra time and money to flesh everything they wanted out fully

Yes(ish) when I went to bed there was a small issue but assuming that's been solved we do. It also is a v small issue compared to dont lose 3h to dying lol

Yeah it's all a wip, just it's a lot of work, and then any patches need to be accounted for too

NGL gang silksong TE is hard. Thankfully its also sick as hell so that makes it worth the slog.

It will be a million times more manageable with better debug tools and videos of a finished run but I'm also not under any time pressure so I can take it slow

100% is looking very Mickey mouse, like 30m+ rosary grind

Yeah. Honestly ditch the 17 Quest Point requirement that is there on top of the mandatory 8 or 9 things and true ending is a 2.5-3h banger, genuinely an amazing category

I really hope true ending runs for silksong end up not being held down by quests requirements because it is such a fun game to move around and fight in, it's just the category that actually interests me seems like it's going to have a ton of filler atp

This being 8h after the last HK post is some great environmental storytelling

Finished the DLC and All Achievements for Crosscode! Top 3 game for me, and my hands took it very well. It's definitely a game I am eager to run once the Skong hype dies down, especially if it's not something I end up playing in a sr context. Hard, but that makes it a good long term thing

While I agree, I'm enjoying the upside of being less likely to be spoiled from random stuff journalists post
