There's a marathon in Madison coming up in October and its looking line there will be a caravan of runners from MWSF heading over there

Any suggestions on RPG or longer game in general speedrunners to watch on Youtube or Twitch? Dry, entertaining, doesn't matter but the more interesting the better. I already enjoy puwexil if that's a good indicator.

Sweet! If anyone has more of these I'd love to branch out. Speedruns make awesome background noise/something to doze off watching.

It is time for Highspirits to make a 3rd and final try at Dragon Quest 1-9! First English release of each game played in a single session over several days (though out of order to get the harder runs out of the way first.)

Other attempts ended on the last game at 64 and 74 hours. Wish him luck!

just a quick ol' update on what's been going on in the world of bloodstained curse of the moon normal/veteran any%

- laxxus held a WR of 19:50 IGT for about a month; only person to have a sub-20 run (second place at that point was like 20:34)

- i start running the game, eventually ending up in second place with 19:56; i say the final boss rng kinda sucks and i think i'm done with the game

- joeHS comes on the scene, ultimately getting a bit frustrated with rng as well but eventually sets a third place time of 19:57

- laxxus tells us to come run Nightmare, the real mode

- i look at how close i am to WR, how close 3rd place is to me, i keep grinding at Normal a while longer

- i get some good pace runs; some that could possibly be WR but no completed runs due to mistakes

- laxxus sees i'm gunning for WR, comes back to Normal for three days and bangs out two new WRs because this man is a machine; now sitting at 19:40

- i steal some of the new strats (there's honestly only like... two that matter and they save a second or two each, i don't want people thinking these are wild new strats just minor optimizations) but honestly, i'm getting tired of this game. had a run last night that was really good. couple seconds worth of mistakes and bad rng but... rng is completely out of my control. set a new PB of 19:51. i'm satisfied knowing that even with the worst rng i could have got, my skill is still good enough to get sub-20 which is a major milestone. it's time to move on to either Nightmare mode or a new game entirely, at least until the Normal route changes in a meaningful way or a bunch of people beat my time out of nowhere

here's a link to my new run if anyone was interested: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/300771623
