Made a C3 post for the current progress on the Pokemon Emerald hack I've been working on. Mainly showcases some of the features/goals of the hack and some gameplay/map screenshots. This has been in the works for a bit over a year now, though I'm nowhere near done. smwc.me/t/133159

no longer a glitchless one-trick 🥲 this run isn't perfect by any means, but i'm glad to have finally hit the sub hour barrier (albeit barely). still a lot to improve, but im happy with this full-game time for now. will focus shift to practice exclusively for now, and maybe other games too!

Showing off and working on the Pokemon hack, live now :D feels good to be back

Kinda dropped off the face of the earth online lately, huh? Been months since I've streamed and I've missed it. Maybe I'll make a return next week? Anyway, here's some updates: I started a job in my career field about a month ago. Glad to finally be done searching, the past year was rough.

I am proud to present... Return to Subcon 2 - The Nova Project www.smwcentral.net?p=section&a=...

My main computer has been out of commission for like 3 weeks, but its finally good again. Hoping to get back to streaming early next week. Thinking about derusting 3D world, skylanders, and platinum map randos. Also gonna work on another b-side level!

happy mar10 day! finally making more progress with b-sides design (bugs made this level take longer than expected). really happy with how this level turned out! ending is subject to change, but figured i'd post for the occasion :) (this is a TAS, i'll RTA clear it later)

I'll be running a co-op Pokemon Platinum map randomizer tomorrow, starting at about 9:30pm eastern! Excited for my first (and hopefully not last) hotfix :D

We have a full week of GDQ Hotfix!! https://gamesdonequick.com/hotfix/schedule

I've been working on a website recreation of Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver's Voltorb Flip. I've reached a stage where I'm looking for people to help test out what I've built. If you're a Voltorb Flip enjoyer and are interested in the project please DM me! Looking for playtesters... and possibly devs.

birthdaying it up rn yippee! might stream later today/this week to celebrate

mirror temple b-side! really happy with how this turned out. the combo of yoshi and theo is really cool with all the item juggling, dismounts, and item spits/eats. might be the hardest level yet? looking forward to the RTA attempts and making the next level!

2nd bside level done i think. finally made it out of the smw retirement home, heres hoping it doesnt take another 3 years to make one level lol real shit though, i think this level is pretty cool! happy with how it turned out. RTA attempts soon, i was just excited to share the design completion :D

i finished the skylanders any% glitchless video tutorial series! spent a lot of time the past few months working on it and im really glad to finally publish this. hoping this will get more people to consider learning the run and this awesome speedgame :D www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Finally graduated with my Master's degree! Really proud and happy to be done with it (although the CS job market sucks, if I know you and you/someone you know is hiring DM me lol). School is the big reason I haven't been as active, but I'm back and I'll have more to share soon!

1:31!!!!!!!!!! This is an absolutely phenomenal run, played around a minute off SOB which is genuinely wild for this category. Certainly improvable, but my goal was to take back WR/break the minute barrier and I absolutely succeeded. Amazed by what I've done to this category over the years. (1/2)

Life's been busy and stressful lately. Handling it well, but speedrunning is definitely on the backburner right now. I have some projects I'd like to get to soon, but they'll only happen once I'm ready. I have a lot I want to do, but such limited time.

got a 17:28 small only run for NoGlitchesAllowed... with a DEATH IN YOSHIS ISLAND 2 (i missed PB by 3 seconds like yeah sure) (really happy to have nailed the midairs and SW4 first try though, overall solid performance i think)

Please observe down below in his natural habitat, the small Mario, running with all his might, being controlled by the ever wonderful @markalarm.bsky.social, showcasing his expertise with an SMW small only speedrun (I hope you all love midairs 👀)! www.twitch.tv/noglitchesal...

Arbitrary code execution being possible in SMB2 was not on my bingo cards but here we are! (Inputs up to 4th room are by HappyLee)

I'll also be running Super Mario World Small Only for No Glitches Allowed! While it may be vanilla SMW, if you're at all familiar with kaizo and some of the hard tech there, you're in for a real treat with this category. Nervous about running such a hard category, but excited to put on a good show!

We are SO excited to announce the No Glitches Allowed 2025 schedule! Thank you to everyone who submitted. We think this is genuinely one of the best schedules we’ve had in years. We’re so excited to put on this event with you all… see you in April! Schedule: oengus.io/marathon/nog...

I'll be running Hades 3 Weapons for Game Over Cancer, kicking off the Friday runs! There will be a bidwar to determine which weapons I run, so it'll be interesting to find out what I run when that time comes! Full schedule link: horaro.org/goc2025/sche...

i think today was one of the craziest speedrunning days ive ever had. hades - achilles spear - 9:26 -> 7:55 smw - 11 exit (glitchless) - 11:10 -> 10:59 smw - small only - 19:14 -> 17:25 (immediately after the 10:59!!!) i genuinely cant believe how well i played today (1/3)

Today I finally reached my goal of sub 10 with all weapons in Hades! Sword - 8:47 Spear - 9:26 Shield - 9:22 Bow - 9:03 Fists - 9:00 Rail - 7:52 Not sure what I wanna run next... there's so many choices between new games to learn and old games to derust. Only time will tell I suppose!

My favorite optimization problem has to be completing video games, and this time I intentionally went too far. Here's Super Mario Bros. 3 completed in five microseconds, through the power of moving NES cartridges at multiple hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK7h...

Feeling good about Hades runs lately :) nearing my goal of sub 10 with all weapons, then I'll probably shift focus. Nemesis Sword / 8:47 Demeter Fists / 9:00 Achilles Spear / 9:26 Eris Rail / 7:52 Also submitted Hades, MC, SMW, and We Ski to a couple events, so that might sway my upcoming grind(s)!

i've been pretty absent from social media aside from periodically checking DMs and notifications lol here's something I made a couple of weeks ago: a music visualizer running inside SMW (made to work with AMK songs/ports specifically) my snes and spc700 asm adventure continues...

sadly this is a moment of no vid no did. given this was literally one attempt on a whim for shits and giggles im sure i can improve it but goddamn

Had the record for 3 years and took it back within a week. There's about a second left to take, but I'm very happy with this. I'd rather not have to push this category further, but I will if I have to. youtu.be/Kq-nOsrq9oY (New WR was a 57. My PB was a 59, not a 1:07. These were derust splits)
