Guess I should throw something like this here:
Hey, I’m Sam, and I’m that guy who speedruns Levelhead. I do also speedrun other games though, and casually I play a lot of indies and am a big achievement hunter. I try and stream (mostly runs) once a week or so over at www.twitch.tv/illegallysam

Gotta love internet issues 🙃
Wasn’t planning on going this long without streaming, but it really kills all motivation when you know things can and will just disconnect for minutes at a time randomly. Won’t be fixed until next week at the earliest either (despite happening for weeks now)…

Fortunately, you can actually underflow your soul points, making the St Peter check at the gate significantly easier than using casual strats
Instead of trying to save frames, you should consider saving your soul. You can't backwards long jump through the gates of heaven; there's no loading zone.

Well, now that AGDQ is over, I need to actually figure out what I want to speedrun next, lol. Don’t have any events to prepare for in the immediate future, so it’s time for choice paralysis to set in. Too many runs to return to that’ll require a lot of derusting and too many games to maybe learn.

If I had a nickel for every fire alarm that went off during AGDQ 2026, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

I've been doing this for a couple years, but let me actually post it here too. Tierlist of (pretty much) all of the games I played in 2025. Tiers are unordered, usually just in the order I played them. I'm lazy so it's just text, no actual tier list, lol.

With AGDQ less than a week away, if anybody has any dumb coop runs (or even not dumb coop runs) they want to do while at the event and you need an extra person, feel free to hit me up

Forgot how fun score grinding in Aaero2 can be, I’ve got 5/6 top places in the DLCs songs now (on Xbox, on the easiest difficulty, lol). Got 3 of them yesterday, with these two bringing it up to 5. I’m sure they’ll get beaten soon, but I know I can improve several of these relatively easily.
