we are on step 3 now, excited to learn octopath runs!!! Castti's story is probably my favorite out of the 8 so naturally I had to learn her single story first :)

> Motivated to speedrun after GDQ
> Get distracted by a really cool something (we are here)
> Do speedruns of said really cool something and forget all about Pokémon again

(Octopath Traveler 2 is a very good game I laughed I cried I don't think I'm even halfway through yet)

Simply Switch 2 (a new route) for a solid PB/WR, been working on this one for awhile and glad to nail it on my first run back from SGDQ 🙂

Especially in times like these - it feels invigorating to be able to support an organization like GDQ as an act of resistance. The things people do here create a tangible impact in the world and I'm grateful to have played in the smallest part of it. Trans rights, always. Stomp out fascism, always.

I highly recommend giving volunteering at GDQ a shot (mainline, FF, BIAF, or whatever else pops up) wherever you might feel comfortable. The leads are super helpful and are there to support you in meaningful ways (definitely had a moment of derust panic this week that they alleviated immediately 😅)

Fast forward to this week, where I had the privilege of mixing audio for the Super Mario Maker 2 race (that I hope everyone enjoyed as much as I did!) As a second time volunteer with this being my third in-person event, I can't express just how happy I am to see my GDQ experience come full circle.

One more SGDQ thread as I wait for my flight back: 9 years ago I started watching GDQ events with the Super Mario Maker relay race at SGDQ 2016. I even looked up the courses and tried them out myself (to varying degrees of success lol). I always told my friends that I'd love to go to one someday.

been a while since I re-upped this starter pack, so if you're looking for trans and non-binary speedrunners to follow, I've got you covered! (also if you want added, just lmk!)

those who GDQ

(also I made it into the finale video lets gooooo)

Although I don't have plans to attend AGDQ in Pittsburgh due to some major life changes, I look forward to next year when I can see all my friends again (and hit the double Navigator tech in Citadels iykyk)

From the Community Clash gameshow. Question: "What is the best thing about speedrunning?" #1 answer: "Community"

I am so incredibly grateful to have found a place in a community that is not only warm and welcoming, but also one that shows up meaningfully in moments and events like these. Going to GDQ will always have a special place in my heart right alongside my friends and PSR community.

A blue cassette with a yellow label that says "Making That Crazy Money" by Limiter Cut, which consists of the set list from the AGDQ 2025 Crazy Taxi with Live Backing Band run. Beneath it is a large print of the album art of the band members in a roofless taxi, with 2dos hailing the cab from behind. On its left is a cassette case with the album art as well as 'Making That Crazy Money' stylized like a taximeter. To its right is the other side of the case, which has the track list as well as production credits.

Remember the Crazy Taxi run from AGDQ that was, like, incredibly sick? What if you could listen to it REMASTERED w/ brand new studio recordings by Limiter Cut on COMPACT CASSETTE???

well you CAN if you WIN THIS PRIZE at SGDQ 2025!!!

A completed Pokémon Starfall Street speedrun on the Switch 2 finished in 1:20:09, 5:57 faster than Switch 1 PB

This is just the beginning

Speedrunning Pokémon Scarlet/Violet on the Switch 2 literally feels like playing at 100% after being held back for 3 whole years by hardware limitations. I haven't felt this much joy/elation/relief about gaming in...maybe ever? Really glad to be part of what I hope is an SV speedrunning revival

Scarlet/Violet record has dropped by 25 minutes
Sword/Shield record has dropped by 5 minutes
Let's Go and Legends Arceus are looking real promising with their load improvements
BDSP is a video game

The era of Switch 2 is upon us in Switch PSR. Truly amazing

I'm up in about 10 minutes showing of Scarlet/Violet on the Switch 2! If you haven't see how smooth it is yet, you're in for a treat

Finished up a dry run of Mega Man X: Command Mission and it's looking good! Encounter fix (i.e., permanent repels) works and is a huge QoL improvement. Now to research how the speed system/damage formulas work in between learning runs 🫠

Second GDQ in the books and the first as a volunteer. Back when I started watching GDQ in 2016, I never would have thought that I'd be part of something so life-changing - let alone be so ingrained in the most fantastic community I've ever been a part of. Here's to many, many, many more.

running events is a rewarding experience but they don’t tell you about the Feeling.
