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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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)!

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
