4/4 Super Metroid NMG World Records. I never saw myself here. Ever.
Life has been extremely heavy lately. This week was one of the worst of my life, tbh. But I’m not gonna trauma dump here. SM is impossible to play well when I’m mentally compromised, but today I managed to pull a run that I was actually impressed with, despite the final time.

I’m gonna do this thing at the end of stream today. I’m starting WR attempts now so if I had to guess I’ll start the watch back stuff in probably 3-5 hours depending on how runs are going and how I’m feeling etc
Today is the 1 year anniversary of the 40:22 Any% WR. I’m going to do *something* for that on stream today, but I’m not sure what yet or what time. Sorry I always announce this stuff last minute.

lol I lost like 20 seconds in Worst Room In The Game in this run

Excellent execution this run. Phantoon lost us something like 12-15 seconds in RNG (the rest of the timeloss at Gravity was probably moat and other little movement things), and Ridley gave us an unfavorable pattern that lost 7 seconds compared to WR (we can save 9)

The Any% grind is going so well for me right now. It’s hit that spot where I can see the ebbs and flows and honestly do feel like I just need to “patiently continue” from here. I only had the one good run today, had another decent-ish pace that fell apart at/after Ridley, but that’s just how it is.

First run of the day, plenty of slop :)

3 paces tonight. Clutched this one out. It only had 7 supers entering Ridley, some other jank, and ended up needing a refill in Tourian (left metroids 1 super short). Lookin good.

Another contender for best executed run since record -- lost 10 seconds to Phantoon RNG, a few more to drops RNG, and 6ish seconds to Mother Brain RNG. Speedrunning doesn't really work like this, but if all that RNG was the same as the WR, this would've been another 2x. Hype.

Kingofthehill476 pulled off a new low% (13%!) run of Super Metroid a few weeks ago. Today I had the pleasure of buying him lunch and doing a collaboration stream where he explained his setup to make it possible and discussed some other things about the run! It’s up on yt now ⬇️

Sometimes in speedrunning you just get mega trolled all day. That was yesterday. Playing bad. When I played good the game was stupid. The rest of the time, my controller was broken LOL. Today I decided to reset my mindset and re-approach it. Practiced for like 5 hours. Worth.

Really sick run considering the things that didn't go well. Had really low energy leaving Phantoon (had to farm and lost a few seconds), 4th best pace at Gravity. Ridley gave me a 2x pattern (2nd worst) and we lost about 20s compared to an optimal fight there. Bad drops too.

Still kinda depressed but casually pulled this off this morning. Still going :)

I got really depressed last night about 1 AM. Couldn’t really tell you why. Yesterday was great. Things are looking generally up. Brains are just dumb sometimes. I was still depressed when I woke up so after feeling sorry for myself for like an hour I decided to redo my space.

Somehow, my community pulled through and we hit 302/300 before the cutoff. You all are incredible. Thank you so much. Now to get those consecutive months…
Hey all, I basically never do this sort of thing but I figure it's worth a shot. I've been pushing this month to start working towards renewing my Twitch Plus, which requires 3 consecutive months of 300 points (recurring subs, non-gifts and non-prime). We're a bit short.

First actual WR pace since the 40:22 back in January, 2nd ever sub 13 gravity suit split. itshappening.gif

the game said no A LOT in this run, then I missed Baby Skip, and still pulled this time. Moving in the right direction for sure.

First World Record capable pace since starting the derust in October. By the time Ridley was dead, it was no longer realistic. Massive timeloss at Draygon (my fault) but still overall a very very good run. Feeling good.

2007: Metroid Prime 3 release, and teases a potential sequel. An interview with someone shortly thereafter says no more Prime games. 18 year old Zeni is sad.
2025: After 18 years, Metroid Prime 4 is finally released. I’ll be streaming it tonight and tomorrow, and probably after that as well!

Absolutely crazy stuff happening to the Any% Ridley fight right now. The WR run had a fight that was 63-64 seconds long. (time is 54.54)

A little less than 10 years ago I randomly posted a video about Dark Souls 3 on my YT and went to bed. When I woke up it had gone viral, which would lead to a few months of DS3 content creation before I made a fatal mistake on my channel that I wouldn’t recover from 😆
