so, turns out post-marathon blues is real

> Speedrunning: CSM Edition

CSM was... a blast.
As my first marathon experience, I was quite nervous about the whole thing, but in the end it was tons of fun. Learning games, getting to be couch for like 3 runs, meet a lot of amazing people, hanging out with friends... it was a lot to process and enjoy

Shoutouts to Kalarse, Alexxa, Pandora, Goofi, Julian, Rebecca, baddap, and so many others! It was amazing to meet you all. Shoutouts to staff for the opportunity and shoutouts to sushi because it was good.

Run itself was a respectable 1:08:XX. Three major mistakes took several minutes off the run, but all in all most of it was quite clean. I'm particularly proud with how i managed to keep composure despite those deaths, and finish the run with confidence. Also, I gotta admit that Ironhead kill was probably the best Ironhead i've ever had lol.

And now, what?

> Speedrunning: moving on

I'm pushing harder in Cave Story! I know sub hour is right near the corner, and I'll be taking cues from thunderzap's run to improve my run. Objectuve is sub hour and potentially sub 55.
Celeste Classic will return as well! Sub 2 any% or 100% improvements, not sure which.
Layton remains on backburner, but sub 1:30 any% will be a thing someday.
I'm also learning Tropical Freeze this weekend for the 12 hour challenge! this weekend! stay tuned and watch me roll deep (tm).

Also, I'm learning Super Bomberman next week.

> Casual

Had my first time playing ultimate, and it's ok! played a bunch of characters and enjoyed doc mario the most. he reminds me of what I wanted to do for SSF2 Mario and I really like him.
Hollow Knight progress is slow but steady.

> Creative

Uploading part 1 of next podcast episode this week. Yes, you read that right, Part 1! We have a lot to say about this episode's topic so we're doing two parts for it.
Celeste ReORGanized work is happening this week as well hopefully.

> Personal

Getting my home back to myself has been really good for my mental stability. It's allowed me to have the peace i need to figure out some stuff I've had in mind for a while. I'm still solving things, mind, but I now have a way to explore them and that was sorely needed.
Money stuff is still flaky, but the heavily reduced expenses will help me out in the long run.
Finally, this week will mark a year since someone amazing crossed my way and decided to join me in it. I love you, and I hope we can keep on this for a really long while.

Let's keep climbing, everyone.
