I have conquered my deadname self's best time in this game

Proof estrogen makes you a better speedrunner (and tbh I lost like 50 seconds easy in Metro City this should be a high 20)

I may have improved on my PB a little bit here

been building up an ante 39 run on Balatro while on vacation and it looks like I'm actually gonna do it. Was just trying to practice legendaryless but popped a Perkeo early, and with Plasma Deck the rest was pretty easy

In the meantime: - Trans Rights are Human Rights - Free Palestine - Fuck Saudi Arabia's sportswashing and everythingwashing - Please take care of yourself

We will not accept the funds from this sponsorship or continue to work with this sponsor again. GDQ is committed to supporting human rights and inclusivity, and we recognize that this partnership conflicted with those values.

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

GDQ showing this shocking video about how things still are on the ground in Gaza really helps put things into perspective, glad they showed it youtu.be/4jbltwofPr0 #SGDQ2026

That legitimately might have been the best twelve hours of GDQ I've ever experienced, what a treat to be here for such a great Friday. This show is better than ever.

HUGE shout out to @adef.bsky.social for repping Balatro Naneinf speedrunning on the biggest stage, with the most intense and dramatic run anyone has _ever_ seen. If y'all missed it, you gotta check it out the second the VOD drops.

I think I'm fully hooked back into PTCG speedrunning again. I need to create a tool that helps me determine RNG position from quick inputs of limited information, vaguely similar to the Sploosh Kaboom tool in Wind Waker... once I do that I'm ready for sub-50

Wednesday has been kind of a rest day for me at SGDQ; Thursday and Friday are gonna be big pushes

not taking a lunch photo today because it's just five guys and I'm trying not to eat too much before dinner

We won Crokinole doubles! That's three GDQ crokinole tournament wins for me at this point 💜

kept my streak of appearing in one of the Crokinole finals of every GDQ event I've attended! I won SGDQ 2024 singles and AGDQ 2025 doubles, and lost in the finals of SGDQ 2025. Now in the top 2 for doubles

Doing an unofficial, offline, just for fun speedrun race of PTCG (GBC) speedrun at 8 PM in the practice room. Will be racing Any% Glitchless with Toronite and Raagentreg, come check it out if you wanna #SGDQ2026

Spending idle time at SGDQ trying to figure out a way to make Pokemon TCG watchable enough to have a chance for future submissions. Looking for some ideas!

I'm at Two Mixed Up today for lunch, a place I've walked past several times but always looked pretty good. Good prices and great portions! Great for a quick snack of fries or curds too

it's genuinely been so cool to see Crokinole gain a cult American following in no small part due to its growing presence at GDQ. If there is ever Crokinole finals on the main stage, I'm gonna train for that like it's the Olympics

my first skyway lunch of the week is, as always, Takatsu - it's pretty good, not too crowded, and the hours are too restrictive for most of the week haha. seating is limited so it's best on your own

day 2 fit check
