Maaaaan, if only! ^_^

Good to know I can still do this. 😀

Well, it was bound to happen, but I was hoping it wouldn't be so soon.

Just got the notice I have until the end of February to vacate my home.

Needless to say, Im not doing okay right now with everything happening.

I did some experimenting...

If I can just piece it all together, a HUGE new world record will be made. All because I added 1 more virus to clear.

The score jump is going to be ridiculous!!

33,014,300 -> 33,094,300 -> 43,254,200

That is SIGNIFICANT!!!!

Getting back into getting that Any% category on the 1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge.

Dropped a couple seconds for a new PB and about half a second shy of WR. I know what needs to be done for that time save. Just need to get it done correctly.

Those of you who know me know that I take pride in my SNES collection. Sadly, I have come to the tough decision to sell my games. (Keeping a VERY select few) I hate it, I dont want to, but with potential things happening in the near future, I need to do it. 😢

That's pretty much the best way to beat Justice. You'd be lucky to beat her without Instant Kill.

Sounds like losing my apartment is potentially in the near future. Basically, they want everyone out, renovate/remodel the apartments, and rent out for $800-900 more than what I'm paying right now. Haven't received an official notice YET.

When it rains it pours. 😢😰

You know what sucks?

Depression.

It's been hitting me good lately. I'm trying my best to fix things for the better, but at the moment, everything is just...a struggle.

After achieving my goal on Ninja Gaiden III, I've decided to take a break from anything regarding speedrunning. The last couple months have been nothing but grinding for events. The last couple nights, it's been real nice playing some games casually. No pressure, just taking my time.

Goku would likely beat your ass, give you a senzu bean, beat your ass again, give you another senzu bean, go eat a large meal, then beat your ass yet again on round 3.

Mega RetroMan @megaretroman.bsky.social · Sep 6

Took a while, but finished Super Metroid X Fusion. Tough game!

Mega RetroMan @megaretroman.bsky.social · Sep 4

Please be well. ❤️

YAAAAAAAASSS!!! SUB 13!!! FINALLY!!!!

There's a spot in Lynnwood next to the Costco that I keep saying that whoever this idea it was to bring this "intersection" to reality should be fired. It's just god awful.

Mega RetroMan @megaretroman.bsky.social · Sep 2

This just dawned on me.

I've showcased Ninja Gaiden III in 3 different events, and none of them went smoothly.

I know I can hit under 13 minutes, I'm just not understanding WHY I haven't.

Suddenly I feel cursed with this game. 😞

Mega RetroMan @megaretroman.bsky.social · Sep 2

That is such a feeling. >_<

Welp, most of the run went phenomenally...until I died on stage 7 and lost the most crucial subweapon to get through the rest of the stage. All audiences saw some ad lib for the rest of the stage.

Other than that, it was a wonderful time. Thank you for watching everyone. ❤️

I will be running Ninja Gaiden III and have these gentlemen with me for commentary and roasting me a little bit.
Tonight we end our evening with celebratory pizza and s'mores. See y'all there!

Going through major imposter syndrome involving my PAX GDQ run tomorrow. Compared to my UN Squadron segment at SGDQ, I'm not feeling all that confident. Even though I know what to do and how to do it. Maybe I'm just nervous. 😞
