KNiDL any% in 38:28

LET'S GOOOO went from a 38:59 pb at the start of stream, got 38:53 -> 38:50 -> 38:28 (maybe 38:27 after retime?) Super happy to have reclaimed my top 10 spot :D

happy 10 years of depression... would like to make an effort to be better about handling it this year, the waters have been muddied for way too longfh

Calling all speedrunners and Kirby enthusiasts!

K-STAR 2026 is confirmed for April 26th this year (9am JST) and we’re currently recruiting runners for our Western teams!

For those unaware, this is a large relay race of Western and Japanese runners featuring 13 different game/categories to run.

Reminder that signups/seeding runs are due in 2 weeks (by the end of the day on the 6th, not the 9th like I said in the original post oops) so get your runs in!

Turnout is looking super great so far

KNiDL any% in 38:59

ALRIGHT WELL THAT WAS SOMETHING

Lost a big PB at the last possible moment (www.twitch.tv/moxieclaws/c...) and then did a salty runback... and got an even better run.

38 LETS GOOOOOO

Aero_Paws - Twitch casual katam 4p with @pocket_rta @glitchaston @laff4

quite the cracked run. ill give the grinding a rest after tomorrow, but wow im really happy with how ive been playing :) i plan on trying for a 36:XX but im honestly already really happy with how this game has gone

37:18 :) i dont think there was any singular horrible timelosses for once, just a lot of scattered time save :)

Happy Birthday Rioyner! Coo carrying a determined vulpix wearing a nightcap

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @rioyner.bsky.social!!

my head inside the floorboards this holiday season

High off my ass at 3:41am practicing wheel mixes:

I’m really glad Air Riders exists because even if I never play it, it’s helping to push the Rick Agenda and that’s all I care about

finally got another nidl pb after getting a ton of late game runs that always died to something :) feels good :) while i feel like this is an easier comparison after running a few runs against it, im will be (most likely) taking a break from this game for a few months at least. new game time mayb :)

OK was on one tonight. two PBs in kirby nightmare in dream land with the 2nd one being the monster jump i was looking for :) so happy with my progress with this game, the margin for error is getting pretty fucked now tho but still gonna try to push it just a little more :)

had to gold to pb and actually did somehow :) fucked the poppy mix cuz fuck that mix and didnt get the backup either but butter building was kinda cracked to make up for it.

. @grample.bsky.social comes to Japan!
Grampleが日本に来てくれたよ

lost wheel in 7-6 but got a small any% pb in nidl!! feel like i can still improve this down by quite a bit

a lotta kirby friends and friends of kirby :) thank you luka + the others for helping me wrangle everyone for this photo, you have no idea how much it means to me <3

a line of kirby runners (and alex!!) :) photo taken by jaye!!!

the kirby i plucked off the kirby tree at the wedding, now hanging from my monitor at home :)

theres too many things i wanna say about this weekend. im just so happy. my emotional side has been kicking in constantly since arriving back to my hole in missouri. whether we talked much or not, i will miss you all, i will always love you all, my legs are so fucking stiff and gratz grampy and ren!

yeah definitely a top 3 vulpix at LEAST you right

@rioyner.bsky.social

This was a wonderful ceremony and reception. I was so happy to see everyone in person, I appreciate grample and ren's invitation.

The mango rolled in beef was DIVINE, I didn't photograph the food but it was so good!

One of the greatest weekends of my life and one I will never forget. Playing Kirby fast has somehow led to me meeting some of the most incredible friends I know. Safe travels and much love to everyone, it’s been a blast.

To quote MKCocoon, “It’s been real, it’s been good. It’s been real good.”

i got married yesterday, and was so happy to be in the company of good friends and family. thank you all so much for being there for such a fun night

started 100% a few days ago! think a 41:XX is gonna be the goal for this one. i dont rly wanna put as much time into this category (at the moment at least) so might abandon any goals after a bit if it ends up taking too much time

woooooooooooooo!!!

beefed the 37 but still a great run :)

usually i try going for back to back pbs after pbing and tonight the back to back pbs actually happened (NEVER happens especially for this game LOL) awesome runs tonight! hopefully 37 happens soon but im kinda vibing with this grind a lot tbh. might be on this game way longer than i realized

doing kirby nightmare in dream land on wednesday night for creature corner :) (estimated to start at 10:36pm eastern) should be fun, very nervous, goal is to not cough directly into the mic
