2018 New Year's update

 Hey, this is a bit late but i wanted to do the 2017 recap + 2018 goals pastebin that i usually do. So here it is:

2017 Goals:
DKR:

Get a full set of Time Trial and IL sheet

DK64:

Any%:   31:30     ---> 29:2x
NLE:    2:25:04   ---> 2:17:2x
101%:   6:48:57   ---> 6:09:xx

BK:

100%:   2:42:43 --->  2:19:xx
No RBA: Complete a couple run for decent time

MK64:

Improve Time Trial Times to King F standard


oh boy...

If you look at these goals, you can see i failed every one of them LOL.

DKR: I ended up grinding RTA again rather that time trials and i did not really have motivation to do some of the more obscure one in hover or car that i dont enjoy. I would say DKR as been a good game this year for me as i got the 100% WR twice and it was the best feeling ever. Finally beating the mental barrier and getting that record was just amazing, i was on a cloud for quite a while after that. So even tho i did not meat the goal, i think DKR was great this year.

DK64: Because i was on the DKR 100% WR grind for quite a major part of 2017, i did not spent much time on this game beside recently. I still feel like i should have gotten my goals but DK64 is a game where i feel i have to work much harder than any of the other game i got good at for the same result. So i guess in 2018 i should get those and better.

BK: I did maybe 10 attemps at BK 100% and never learned No RBA... so yea.

MK64: wanted to do this but STILL no steel stick in my possesion which is what i am waiting for before playing this game again.

Now for the "POSSIBLE" new speedgame of 2017:

Banjo-Tooie
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Yooka-Laylee
Burnout
Kirby 64

I did a few offline Any% run of YL back when it came out and more recently been practicing alittle bit for that agian, so i guess i did learn it. I also learned Banjo-Tooie but never really did a run. Tho this month this will change. For the other games, just not enough time/drive to learn them this last year.

IRL: im gonna TL:DR this
Found a job in may finally, did it for about 7 months, hated it. Now moved in Quebec city for much better job, only worked 2 weeks but im getting good vibes from it. Only thing that sucks is im really far away from my parents and friends. But i would say im in a much better place than the end of 2016 where i prety depressed.

Now for 2018

This year i dont wanna set ANY goals. Atleast not in this pastebin.

One thing i learned is that it is better to set goal when you are currently running something that thinking about it multiple months in advance. You get a much better feeling of what you are capable when currently playing. Also, even if at some point i wanna do x game in 2018, does not mean il have time or enough motivation do to game x in 2018. So its kinda pointless. Ill just go on a daily basis to set those goals. So if you wanna know them you have to ask me in chat :)

But if theres one thing i really wanna try this year, its to complete the 301%. So i guess i have this goal to do. BK and BT are gonna be a nightmare but im comfident i can do it.

Also another thing i wanna do in 2018 is working on and finish my speedrunning related project. Havent had time to work on it since i moved last month and now im full on 301% practice mode, but once i get time in february onward, ill dedicate a decent amont of time each week to that. Hoping by summer 2018 i can show a prototype to all the speedrunners. I dont wanna spoil what it is, but i think it is a needed 'Upgrade' that alot of people will like if i can pull it off.

Last thing i wanna work on is my stream. I dont want to stop raging, but i want to try and tone it down. I know its not fun when im full on raging and its something that is VERY hard to control because i have prety high expection of myself. But i will try working towards that. I also want to finally get an emote atleast for the 4.99 subs, will ask for a comission within the next week or so. And in general, i wanna play with layouts and stuff aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand possibly adding a webcam. I know you guys probably wont believe me but it might happen! The main reason i have not  been using one is that i am a very shy person, but i feel this years its been less and less the case and that has happened because ive been thrown into situation i had to socialise alot and talk to people and work with them. It made me realised that the only way ill ever stop feeling scared of using it is by using it. So hopefully i can get some self confidence and go get one and actually use it.


If you made it here, i wanna say thank you. Everybody thats supporting and spending time with me online or in real life has made this year a million time better than last year. I could go on a long list of people to thank but if you are a close friend of mine online or offline, of just someone that comes in my chat and keeps me company while i rage at dk64, just know that i really appreciate that and that i hope everything turn for the better in your life for 2018.

Happy new year!
