Very pleased to confirm we have an event! STUK has been invited to host a speedrun marathon at Manchester Anime & Gaming Con - 10-12 April 2026!

Right now, I'm putting a team together to name, brand and organise the event. If that sounds like you, join the Discord server and give me a shout!
Want new live UK speedrun events? Sonic needs YOU to show your support for potential new marathons!

Speedrun Tools UK is in talks with an existing UK convention team to bring speedrunning to their events. We need your backing to show them we mean business!

Hey lovelies!

Do you love RPG's that aren't Final Fantasy and love randomizers?

One of my closest and dearest friends has spent nearly a decade of her life developing the Phantasy Star IV Profound Distortion randomizer.

Ya'll should follow her and check out her work.
I wanted to show this off, but I've been working hard on new features to the Phantasy Star 4 randomizer. Skills were always tricky as animation limitations made things difficult, especially melee weapons kills. But today, I figured out how to give Gryz Rayblade and have his animation. This is huge!

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.

Fuck cancer.

Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

with the holidays coming up on us quickly, don't forget to skip the bigot bucket. there are so many other charities and mutual aid organizations that won't do stuff like this.

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent.

Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there!

It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.
This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

The thing is that this mostly became an issue in the US because companies pushing it knew the dangers and didn't care; there was money to be made. All of these companies know what they are doing and don't give a shit because irrevocable impacts on society are just the cost of doing business.

Y'all need to have the same kind of smoke for AI Music as you have for AI Art. Okay?

Music is an extremely important part of artistic human expression, and we must not allow it to rot away because 'it sounds just like the real thing' or whatever.

Musicians are going through it too. Fuck AI.

If they’re on the list then they’re not my favorite anything anymore.

This isn’t hard.
"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.
