Tonight: a co-op stream with @chessjerk.bsky.social where we push toward sub-3.

Monday: completing 38 runs of Marble Madness Any% to celebrate the 4-year anniversary of the 2:38!

See you tonight!

Here's the YouTube VOD for the Life Force co-op PB with @chessjerk.bsky.social last night: 24:57!

Fun Fact: Our Sum of Best is now 24:57, too!

Need to learn quick kills and lag reduction strats to improve from here. Still 25 seconds behind the WR!

Age verification? I remember going to the grocery store with my mother and she would buy cigarettes for my grandmother for less than $2 per pack.

NES Block will be LIVE streaming the runs recorded at SGDQ 2025 on Saturday 8/2 at 8am ET, running all day. Hope to see y'all there!!!

I got added as a mod to an NES game on SRC today since I was updating a few Twitch highlights to Youtube videos and the lone mod of the game hadn't logged in for a long time, only to find two runs in the queue that had been sitting there for three years waiting for verification. How sad...

These are my splits in my new PB. The timer shows 2:45.9, but a frame count is pending which put the time closer to 2:45.8

Thanks to everyone for watching my stream last night, including those who witnessed me finally getting a Marble Madness PB with a decent silly skip!

Finishing a run of coop marble madness with you will always be a highlight of my speedrunning career ❤️

Fun co-op stream with @chessjerk.bsky.social last night!

Showed him the ropes of the Silly Skip (long overdue, if I'm honest!) and we even had a run make it through Aerial on pace!

But this clip is the highlight of the night. Ice wands are a treat, co-op ones moreso!

Well at least you are true to yourself. 😀

Random thought I had this morning: If you feel obligated to tell others you are the best at something, you probably aren't.

:(

Congrats to all the accepted sgdq runners! I'll be there rooting you on.

Snake Rattle 'n' Roll - Co-Op Warpless World Record - 12:33.

I don't think @chessjerk.bsky.social or I will try to tell you this is a good run. It's just good enough. That's enough Snek for now.

Yeah we lost an F many years ago. Luckily we have another scrabble board.

What do old people do on Valentines Day? They play Scrabble of course! Happy Valentines Day to my wife and to everyone else out there. (I won 344-278 but that doesn't matter right now)

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely do that!

Snake Rattle 'n' Roll - Co-Op Warpless - 13:32 w/ @chessjerk - yelsraek on Twitch yelsraek went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Snake Rattle 'n' Roll VOD now.

After four hours of practice and grinding, @chessjerk.bsky.social and I finished two warpless Snek runs.

We weren’t able to keep pace with PJ & Feasel’s rather remarkable warpless GDQ run from ten years ago.

Maybe next time! We definitely CAN beat that time!
