Square does passwords wrong. Had to do some silliness just to be able to paste my password manager password into the "confirm password" box (and only the confirm box). Also "6-32 characters alphanumeric only" is laughable. Do better, @square-enix-games.com !

Hi @itscamnotcan.bsky.social , why are you destroying www.speedrun.com ? Context: www.speedrun.com/news/6o56nmv... Once again we see a site becoming completely "we own all of your info/data and you can't have it" under the guise of "fighting bad actors." This license update should not happen.
If you have a 'deep passion for speedrunning' (per your GitHub), this license update will never see the light of day, @itscamnotcan.bsky.social .

Shame they're tearing down this cool McDonald's. Grew up near this one and I remember when it was built. Another neat flair succumbing to the "modern" (boring) restaurant design. Thanks to @mariadevito13.dispatch.com for this Dispatch story!
And that's a wrap on my first playthrough of Mina the Hollower! Appreciated this shout-out in the credits ("name in the game" backers got a cheat code to customize game). Now to do NG+ and get all the Feats/Achievements. TY @yachtclubgames.bsky.social !

I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

I was featured in the Red Bulletin, Red Bull's gaming magazine! Two pages of the magazine are dedicated to Super Mario Bros. and my endeavour as a speedrun educator. Plus the cover is actually playable! www.instagram.com/reels/DX5FA9...

Tomorrow! 🧊🦎 As the series celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, the first three #Animorphs books are being rereleased with gorgeous new cover art by @creepcaptain.bsky.social. So happy to see the series live on in this way. Here's a link to book one: bookshop.org/p/books/anim...
Happy 40th anniversary to The Legend of Zelda! Doing some speedruns: www.twitch.tv/thedoctorblue/
An incredible feat!
This was the most difficult PB I've ever chased in this game, and definitely a contender for one of the hardest across all games I've speedrun. 26:XX in Cuphead Any% 1.1+ done. Planning on running Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky for a bit, then potentially tackling Cuphead 300% :)
Last night www.twitch.tv/schicksal88 got a new World Record in The Legend of Zelda - Any% No Up+A. The new WR is now 27:41.001! An incredible run. Leaderboard: www.speedrun.com/the_legend_o... Watch it here: www.twitch.tv/videos/26963...

Came up in conversation. Long before TV Tropes, we had this for video game RPGs: project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html I'm glad it still exists!
Updated my web site and did a small write-up for this new PB. scottdepouw.com/posts/2026-0... I also learned how to refresh an expired GPG key, and how to transfer said key from PC to a VSCode workspace keyring. Rabbit holes! Jekyll permalink updates too. (I need to update my site more often.)
New PB! 982 attempts and 839 days later, my Zelda Any% No Up+A (Deathless) time is now 28:48.633! youtu.be/mUkh6JqFq8w I'm now 13th place on the official leaderboard.
The good news is I left myself appropriate instructions in the repo's readme (and the GPG notes I took for this blog post from last year blog.nimblepros.com/blogs/signin... ). So it was ultimately painless. (Said blog post could now receive a sequel potentially...)
A near-PB this morning. 28:51 with a very fast early game. Another PB could be around the corner. www.twitch.tv/videos/26760...
