Knytt Stories is coming up in a little over two hours' time.

I didn't particularly enjoy the original Knytt, but it was pretty cute. I think I'll try to catch this run if the kid permits.

Missed Knytt, oh well. Hopefully I can catch the NieR and Dark Souls runs this afternoon.

Cat has decided that with no Knytt on offer she might as well go outside and get baked, but she sent the chickens over to keep me company.

Just realized the NieR run is ending A only! Still cool, but I initially thought it was ending C/D and that they had some truly ridiculous skips to get that 1h30 time estimate. Maybe next year.

Thank you! :fluffy: Left to right: Lane, Rory, Lorelai, and Mrs. Kim. (I think. I have trouble telling the last two apart.)

They're a bit less lovely when they're all pecking at the window because there's !!a bug!! inside, though.

Remember when halfcoordinated ran Nier at SGDQ 2017 and asked for fanart on the hashtag #Got2BRadical (I might remember this wrong) ? Unfortunately I didn't save but a fraction of those pics but I can assure you they were all great and the twitter feed was full of them.

How is he running on the outside of that cage thing now

I know, I know, Dark Souls 2, right?

If I followed the explanation right -- if you parry an enemy attack, riposte, and then cancel the riposte before it connects by rolling into the enemy, the game forgets that gravity exists for a while.

There's still lots of good stuff to come, including Arabian Nights in a few hours, Punchy's Celeste run and Mario 64 70 star relay on Friday!

I've never even heard of Arabian Nights but this thread is so hype for it I'm now retroactively excited for it. Probably not catching any live runs today though.

I have all of friday free, though, so I am definitely there for the 70 star relay, Celeste, and the Dark Souls Glitch Exhibition. Stay :fluffy:, speedfriends :)

Isn't Nightcore just "speed it up and put a techno beat on it"? That seems like something you could get a robot to do for you anyways.

So what did everyone have for dinner? I had homemade beef sammiches...

Baked polenta with mushrooms, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese, and mushrooms

Would have been spaghetti alla carbonara but our dinner plans kind of went completely off the rails this week on account of everyone having the plague, so that gets bumped to next week unless I make some while everyone is away over the weekend and just eat it all myself and then buy replacement ingredients

The Lobster posted:

We just got an Instant Pot but I'm not good at using it yet. We used it to make the best chicken I've ever made on Monday though.

Instapots own bones, we got one recently and it immediately replaced our rice cooker and crock pot while also letting us cook legumes from dry in less than an entire day.

We made a cake in it recently and it turned out pretty tasty.

This speedrun seems pretty cool. It seems like a PSP game to me somehow, I didn't know they made Tomb Raider games that were top-down.

Now that you mention it, yeah, it probably would work alright as a PSP game. I played it on PC when it came out and had a great time despite not really being interested in Tomb Raider.

Just tuned in to see both players exploding in midair to skip most of a level, run looking good :comfysamus:

Good morning speedfriends! I only got five hours of sleep last night and have spent the last hour running around doing laundry and being yelled at by cats.

It is going to be a busy morning but then everyone else is going camping and I have the next two days off work and am just going to get as :fluffy: as humanly possible and sleep in until 06:30 or perhaps even 07:00 every day.

Hi speed friends, I’m at the train station waiting for the train to get back to my village!

Document checking and whatnot went well, apparently they don’t need many people next week but hopefully I’ll get in for the temp work :)

Sadly I’ll miss most of Punchy's run live so I’ll have to catch the VOD. Unless it gets pushed back by 30 minutes or so which would be awesome but selfish on my part.

Good luck, speedfriend!

I don't know if I'm going to be able to catch Celeste live but I'm going to try, van-packing is going well.

Good morning speedfriends!

Morning alarm: cat attempting to catch a bug and then glitching out and attacking everything on the shelf in my bedroom, then getting angry because none of these things are bugs. And then purring and going flop on my legs in the mistaken belief that immobilizing me will get me to feed her breakfast faster. :comfysamus:

Now I apparently have 45 minutes to solve the riddle of breakfast before Mario.

I feel extremely called out by this playlist.

Although it occurs to me that I do have all the ingredients to make spaghetti alla carbonara tonight. I promised to make it for everyone when they got back from camping, but there's nothing actually stopping me from making up a big batch, eating it all weekend, and then buying replacement ingredients!

I probably shouldn't, but it's a tempting idea.
