"I can maybe get this close to 4:10" Do I dare dream that this can go sub 4? can I have two completely different speedruns where sub 4 hours is the peak? Also im really going to have to reevaluate the estimate for marathon submissions for this one.

I know I keep on saying that I'll get around to streaming something different, but having found a couple new things over the past day, I think its possible to get the DWO run to around 4:10. I'll start in about an hour

Im a little annoyed, mostly at myself, and of course its about the dynasty warriors speedrun. One of the stages that has been the biggest of nuisances has been the battle of Xiangyang, and it turns out even if the victory conditions change, defeating Liu Biao still does the job?

Was cleaning my room a bit and was reminded of this gem. I received this as a gift years ago from a friend who had gone over to Japan, and because it has Sableye of course I love it.

Goddamn, another pb has hit the Dynasty Warriors Speedrun... It's incredible what a few months of practice and some good weapon luck can do for a run that was looking really not all that great.

One day I'll stop talking about Dynasty Warriors, but today is not that day. I just want to commend them for what they did with Zhang Jiao. For so long they'd portrayed them, imo, in a rather one-dimensional manner. In DWO, they actually gave him depth and made me care about him.

I think its about time I start looking at the other story paths for DWO to see how they go for the speedrun. I did grab this screenshot of the three side by side to use for thumbnails/guides/etc, but decided to put in where we're at so far with them. complete with dodgy ms paint writing :)

being 30+ is great cuz now anything fandom drama happens I can go "I'm too old for this" and anyone caught up in the drama will see im 30+ and assume I'm like 1 foot in the grave already cuz 99% of fandom drama is teenagers duking it out over dumb shit and they think being 30+ is old

Ive been going back to the shorter speedrun categories for DWO now that I've been doing the full game enough and figured out a bunch of things. Stream is up, im just making coffee and then ill get started twitch.tv/glphoenix

Now that I've been having to put all future speedrun pbs on youtube, ive also put it at least some effort into having better thumbnails. Not much effort, but enough that its just not a screen cap with the stream overlay and all. For instance, another pb run from tonight. youtu.be/H6yTi0Ca_pY

I have no patience for anyone who whines "but HP was my childhood!" anymore. It was mine too, and Rowling took a big diarrhetic shit on it. Develop some healthy anger for that mold-huffing asshole, drop the HP products, and spite her by loving trans people fiercely.

I love whenever I sit down at my desk and the very first thing I do is spill coffee all over it, I mean it does make my entire room smell of coffee, so its not all bad.

Two nights, two new personal bests in two differerent games of completely different genres. Maybe Im kinda okay at the whole speedrunning thing?

I can finally take a break from speedrunning this game(Pokemon Sword). Finally got another personal best, this one for the Japanese leaderboard and using a Galvantula.

Most of what Ive been doing for the past few years has been Speedrunning and Fighting Games, with some of the biggest events for those being held in the US. I wouldve liked to be able to go to them in person, but thats just not an option any more. Absolutely not worth the risk.

Never give up on your dreams.

Played some more Venom with some real mixed results. Hes fun thats for sure, but getting him to function is something else entirely. Also the OCE scene has levelled up a lot since I was last playing as much as I have been, which is probably skewing things a bit.

I dont think im completely vibing with the current TFT set, but ive at least made it to plat, so thats something I guess.

One day ill have a reasonable sleep pattern. Or I wont, im open to the possibilities.

Mentioned earlier that im gonna be playing the yoshi game tonight. I always have a soft spot for it as its the first game I really committed to speedrunning, its also just a neat game with a fun speedrun. Ill try not to tilt as I try and remember how to do the things. Stream up twitch.tv/glphoenix

I was reminded that I should play/stream more Yoshi's Crafted World. It is one of the games that I've submitted for ASM after all, so it would make sense to not let it get too rusty. So I guess I'll be doing that tonight, which is to say in about 3 hours when I usually start stream.

Haven't really been playing too much TCG Pocket lately, just logging in to open packs when I can, but holy jackpot.

I’m begging please

When it comes to money, id like to say that I'll be fine, but entirely unsurprisingly, getting things booked to fly half way across the country for a week long event is going to be rather rough in that regard.

It took a couple tries but finally able to take out Zoh Shia. Turns out stubbornly trying to do it solo, and forgetting to have one particular skill which makes my build actually do damage made it much tougher than necessary. Cool fight though.

Just finished getting all my booking done for ASM and one of the booking references just says 'old' in it... goddamn it im only 33, leave me alone lmao.

The OCE Strive Ladder series is on its final day(for this season). Many weeks of brackets, a day of groups stage play, and now one final top 8 bracket to go. I'll be jumping on for commentary, and we're starting in a few minutes over at: twitch.tv/anteikuoceania
