What's next?! I've started learning Zelda 1, which seems to be a lot of fun. I have wanted to speedrun it for a while, but I'm still not 100% sure it's my next grind. Castlevania 1 has been suggested, and I have to say I'm pretty tempted with how short it is. Any suggestions are welcome!

I got the world record in my second NES game on Friday. This one was a lot of fun. I had never played this game growing up, but I know I would have loved it if I did.

I've been off socials for a while now. It's been nice. I think Bluesky is ok, though.

It has arrived! I'm really enjoying this speedrun so far, so I had to get the cart. Those are the rules (except for Little Samson)

Saw Bob Dylan yesterday. I wish I had better seats, but it was still very good. That'd an artist I never thought I'd get to see live.

I won the Zelda II 100% NMG tournament! That was a really fun one. I had never tried this category before the tournament started, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. GG's to everyone involved!

I don't know why it took me so long to get the cart, but now that I'm running the game, it's only right.

The SMB1 challenge seems to be going well. I'm almost halfway into the 25 hours I have to learn the speedrun and I'm almost done with the practice/learning part. Can I get a sub-5? I think so, but there are a few problem areas. We'll see!

After not much consideration at all, I've decided to join @junkyarddave.bsky.social and a handful of people in his "get a < 5 min run in SMB1 in 25 hours" challenge. This includes all learning, no off-stream practice. I'll start after I finish the Z2 remake.

I've been playing Hoverbat's Zelda II PC Remake the last couple streams, and it is incredible. I have only heard good things for the past year or so and it definitely lives up to the hype. It's kind of in between a remaster and a sequel. So many new things!

Short-ish but sweet stream today! I got the 100% NMG world record in Zelda II, then beat that the next run for two WR's in a row!

I would like everyone to know that my 45-year-old manager, who grew up and still lives in the backwoods of New Hampshire, just said "yeeted" in a sentence.

I spent a few hours on Sunday learning some of this speedrun and it's a lot of fun so far. While I'm still not sure what my next grind will be, I'm looking forward to running this game at least in the short-term.

Here's the new Zelda II World Record (1:12:52). This run was crazy because I knew it was going to be the WR early on. Can't explain it, I just knew it. I call it multiple times throughout the run. #zeldaii #zelda #retrogaming #speedrun #nes

This week I'm going to start learning the RBO(Reverse Boss Order) category in Zelda II. While I do this, I'll figure out which game I'll grind next with the community. I'm really up for most anything, though Zelda 1 does look super fun. 100% NMG Tourney is still going strong as well! I'm excited!

I am once again the Zelda II world record holder. What an absolutely wild run that was.

I'm actually going to be streaming Fri-Sun this week. I just want to get a few things done for the stream and I might as well do that first, instead of after a couple streams.
