2 Fucking Years and Another Update

2 Fucking Years and Another Update

It's that time again, where I make a pastebin about shit no one cares about.

This one isn't really important or anything, just wanted to share some things.

I haven't been streaming much at all lately, clearly. I really stopped caring about streaming since the release date of Fire Pro Wrestling World was said around 2 weeks ago. I've been playing Fire Pro games for like 8 years or something, starting with Fire Pro 1 GBA, onto Returns PS2, then Final Fire Pro GBA, and even bought Fire Pro G PS1 from Japan recently, 'cause I thought I would play it, but that didn't work out. You guys can't even imagine the excitement and passion I have for the Fire Pro series, even though I was a little late to the party, but enjoy it so fucking much. Plenty of summers and study halls spent making Edits, simming leagues, simming tournaments, and simming dream matches. And now that Fire Pro World is out, I've been playing that a ton. Got Mission Mode done within the 2nd day the game was out, made some rings, made some edits (a really good Steve Corino), and working on more. I was gonna stream it, but I just wanted to relax and just play games. Which brings me to the next point.

It's been 2 years since I started streaming. Not to the day, 'cause I don't remember the day, but my first GT2 run streamed was 7-14-2015. There's no fucking way I'd ever make a big deal about anything that goes on in the stream, since nothing has. It's meaningless. That's why I've never really mentioned it. I'll Vodcast the 2:43:01 GT2 Low% (Any% at the time) from that date to see the increase in quality of the stream, and how much the run has grown since shitty ol' me just wanted to do a fast.

Since the stream hasn't gotten really anywhere, in fact, as of late, even worse and smaller, I've just stopped caring. If I stream, it might not even be speedruns anymore. Before like a month ago, it's been years since I've just sat down and played a game casually. No timer. No mic. No headphones. No focus. Just game. I've been importing games more, finding games at flea markets/garage sales/game shops, just to play them. I think the last time I did this kind of thing was 2006-09 when I was still a teenager in school with more friends to just chat games, like a normal kid. This is such a cliche, but speedrunning kinda made that feeling of playing games and had it fly away. This is not me saying anything bad, but it's just how I got over the years. Even when I played Guitar Hero/Rock Band all the time, same thing. It's that time that I want to just play games. I have all the consoles I could ever need/want (maybe an Xbox/Wii for an emulation machine, Mega Everdrive for Genesis) and most of the games on hand (fucking R-Type Delta, Thunder Force V, G-Darius, etc) that I really want to play.
(If you guys would like, or like to help me look for games or have them, I can make a list of games I'm looking to pick up, only if you all want to see it)

I might stream that, I might not. Dark Duel Stories is still hanging over my head ever since the flood, 'cause realistically, I could've finished the run and gotten WR by a bit, but that would've been shitty. Most runs I've been getting have been p bad, and every time that happens, I think to myself, WR was in my fucking hands. That's been taking me down a bit honestly. The GT guys have been doing Arcade Mode runs for GT3, and I might do that, I don't know. I got Tetris DX today and might want to get better at that for a good 40 Lines time. I got Yugioh Worlds 2006 JP, so I might want to finish the save and do All Duelists again without the worry about the EZ-Flash not liking the ROM. I got every single Yugioh game for Gameboy/Gameboy Color that I want to play through. Still have a couple of GT2 runs that could be improved. The Sunday FM races. And those might be less often, 'cause I hate wasting days when I could've just relaxed. This is all stuff I think about a lot, and kinda just don't want to.

I don't know why I feel like I'm obligated to stream often. I need to stop that. This is a hobby. It's not like I'm making money doing this. The donations have been great, and helped fix my PS2 and get a chair, which I appreciate a lot. But, there's no income in this. If I can get myself out of that mindset, all the better. Doing garage sales help a lot to take my mind of the stream. Seeing as though, I think I've driven everyone away to the point that no one is gonna read this.

If I feel like doing runs, I'll do them. If not, then I won't. Simple enough.

I will be doing a vodcast of mine and Tsundoll's garage sale trip from today (Saturday), the quality is kinda trash, but it should be fun to take a look at me outside of the stream. If you all like it, I'll try to make it better and potentially record whenever we go hunting. And, I gotta see what the limit of the uploading to twitch is. I still have that GT2 100% single segment run on my computer that I can't upload to Youtube since it's too long, and Windows Movie Maker won't split it, 'cause it's too long.

We're still on the lookout for PVM's as well, even after Tsundoll got one finally, for free no less. PVM-20m2mdu (Medical CRT, 600 lines, RGB, RGB/Component, S-Video, 2 Composite) It's p good, and now just gotta find one for me.

Hope you guys like this update. It's kinda long, but you know how I am.
