July Update

Going get right into this! I'll be talking a bit about my current real life situation, talk about my streaming and speedrun plans.

Right after i got back from SGDQ i got hit with some pretty stressful news. While i was away i was let go from my job, and found out i lost a good chunk of money from due to automated bank services moving my money around to the point were i got charged NSF fees. I was barely able to stay afloat, but i wouldn't have spent so much at SGDQ if i knew what i was coming back to. All this was a huge blow to me, as one of my plans that i was putting a lot of effort into was moving out. Also the loss of funds is making me think i might not get to go to twitchcon, where a lot of friends i have never met in person are going to. I am very stressed out about all this. You guys already have helped ease my mind. As you might know, i got partner just over a month ago, and the support i got was unreal. Even carrying over to month 2 i still have just under 200 subs. Seeing the emotes getting used everywhere brings a smile to face. You guys are giving me the ability keep afloat, if just barely , and helping me from going into a stressed induced panic trying to figure out how to make ends meet. All i can say is thank you.
Now about the twitchcon problem. I am going be searching for a job but finding a job where i live is not that easy. It looks like i will need 900$. I hate doing this, and i kinda wished i didn't have to do this again, but i going to ask for your help once again. I will be putting up the donation goal for this. If i can get a job next month i will put my own money into helping this goal, but in the meantime i will be streaming full time. I am going go hard to try my best to supply you with the best entertainment i can provide. If i Cannot get enough to go to twitchcon, all the money i raised will go to AGDQ. BUT if the goal is reached, i will do a 602 before i leave, as an incentive.

Now, since I am feeling better and am i able to get this off my chest, lets talk about the important dates coming up!

- The KARARARAT   | Sunday July 24th

-    SMG1 242     | Wednesday July 27th

-    AC HUNDO     | Monday August 1st

- Yoshi's WW 100% | Tuesday August 9th

Also, an Important tweet as of WHY i am doing a SMG1 242 and more SMG this week https://twitter.com/CruelKingSatyr/status/756335722945097732

Note i haven't really practice or even learned YWW hundo, but i am going sit down, and literally do a semi blind run, so expect it to take FOREVER.

Now, what do i wanna focus on speedwise? Here is what to expect.

- More SM64 ROM hacks -
I've been really enjoying Star Road and i wanna get into some more ROM hacks. Might do some timed blind playthroughs of some, or even blind races with bird650. see which ones i like and which ones i don't. should be a fun experience!

- More SMG runs -
Its about time i got back into galaxy. Nuff said

- Mario Party 1 and 2 and Pokemon Channel -
These will be my GDQ submissions! all are going to be submitted as a race but expect more fun times!

- 1 12 hour speedrunning challenge and 1 24 hour speedrunning challenge -
I wont be here for the actual 12 hour speedrunning challenge, so i'll find a day that works for me, but i plan on learning Rocket Power Beach Bandits for the GCN. I've never played it but i bought it at a retro game store for 3 bucks and i am going learn it. now, the 24 hour challenge? TTYD Any%. I always wanted to learn this game, and god damn i am going do it. I'm giving me quite a while for this challenge due to how challenging and long the run is and is probably going to be for me. But keep in mind these runs might come up in the future after i finish learning them!

Now for a few in general stream plans. I wanna try ended a few streams with something more casual, like Dead by Daylight or something like that. A game with no story that i can play for a bit and end when im tired. Ontop of that, i entered myself in Iateyourpie's Mario Maker Monday tournament. So before and while that goes on, expect some Mario Maker splashed into my streams, just to get a bit better and have some fun (Winning the prize would be nice too kthx). On top of all that, i DO want to try and get 1 or 2 youtube videos a week (that are not stream highlights or PBs) be it a casual playthrough of something, vlog/update or whatever else. My hope is to stream more, and stream at different times to. I know i tend to stream at around the same time, but i kinda wanna spread those hours around a bit and share the P4ntz time with all the timezones. Don't know how long it'll be like that, but we'll see! And of course i wanna see how much we can grow the channel and the community, hopefully to the point were i can do this as a living. The dream. So thank you for being part of the dream!

And of course to close this all off, thank you all for reading and being an important and wonderful part of my life. Doesn't matter if you are a sub, long time viewer, recent follower or a complete stranger who stumbled upon this pastebin, just the fact that you cared enough to read and listen to me means more than you think, so thank you. Keep being you.
