Result! The TGL derust is complete. Learning is ongoing. Pleased with this first completed run. It’s my second best attempt! Only 11 seconds off of PB! Now to replicate and make 52s a repeatable action. Let’s show some marathon-caliber consistency. If a 51 shows up on the way… all the better.

My splits from last night’s completed run of The Guardian Legend Any% in 52:13 (my PB is 52:02).

What if, and... hear me out. What if three family emergencies in consecutive months? Folks are okay and in various stages of recovery. When it rains, etc... Will still try to stream when I can as time and energy allow.

I am in the lobby of the #SGDQ2026 hotel for the next hour or so if you want: - some snacks (we have spares) - a Monster (we have spares) - a hug (unlimited supply) There is no wrong choice. Also you can choose all of them. Probably leaving at 11:30am local time.

What an incredible NES Block! Thank you so much to everyone who watched and donated! Shoutouts to @threach.bsky.social for helping me find my missing key, which caused the room 70 kerfuffle. I nudged this chest in Room 44! That’s never happened before. It’s more than just a meme!

So the last three months have been: - April: work project ramp up - May: family emergency - June: ANOTHER family emergency Things do seem to be leveling off just in time for my planned departure to SGDQ tomorrow morning, but forgive me for the lack of streams and if I’m not my usual energetic self.

Last night’s stream went alright. I can still easily complete the run under my GDQ estimate, which is superb. I need to be more patient with myself when trying for PBs. I may have been working with Gauntlet for months now but I haven’t actually played much. I would do well to remember game=hard.
