"It is after Midnight. You come across a small pumpkin carved to look like a carriage rocking back and forth in the street.

There's a tiny delinquent princess inside who can't escape, not without your help, but you're not helping, why is that?"

Listen I may Bladerunner on the brain.

If you're already following me, then just reply OR reskeet to enter! (it's more for fun than growth). Winners drawn in ~one week

Thanks for being you!

In progress, from left to right, Dualiso, Delaram, and an unnamed charity sword. Dualiso and the charity sword will likely be done first, Dualiso just needing oxidation, painting, and finishing.

Dualiso and Delaram are currently slated as Prize submissions for a future event, we all know which one!

The fundamental misunderstanding here (other than being a shit person) is the belief that GDQ is a speedrunning marathon.

It isn't.

GDQ is a charity marathon. It exists to raise money for charity. It does that through speedrunning and high-level gaming.

Charity first. That's the priority.
the major responses to this (aside from people responding "fuck off") being AusSpeedruns is disappointing, I thought ASM had a better audience than that

the amount of folks over the years who've told me that they learned RE7 through my tutorials was always so heartwarming.

after not touching the speedrun in four years, those same folks were helping me relearn the run today. it's all come full circle 🥲💙💙💙

Today's totally and completely random historical anecdote
When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

ALSO.

Presenting the Swords I made for @glubbers.bsky.social and @gamesdonequick.bsky.social at AGDQ2025, both patterned on the Wooden Sword from The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess!

I had a great and challenging time making them, but I am very proud of how they turned out! Stay tuned for SGDQ!
