State of the stream 09/2016

I've been gone for a bit, and I think it's time I explain why, what's coming up next, as well as what kind of hiccups and streams to expect in the next little bit. For once, there's been a lot going on in my life, and most of it has been a tremendous pain in the ass.

I had just started going hard on SMG and fighting for a 2:48 and had just gotten a refurbished wii with the intent to learn sunshine when I Had to go in for surgery. It was one I'd scheduled, but I am afraid I drastically underestimated the recovery time. I expected maybe 3 days of being laid up. I was a potato for 3 days, and the next week I had to take it easy on doctor's orders. I was not happy about this, and now I am cleared to go hard again.

Except for the other hiccup. The day of my surgery, my family put my house up for sale. Two days later, it sold. Yeah, that fast. And we have about 45 days to find another place and get out. And with that goes all of the headaches of packing up and moving our shit, then getting set up in a new place where we will be renting for a few years. I don't have much in the way of possessions, so my side of packing will be fairly easy, but I will probably have to help with everyone else. A lot.

So, things are going to get hectic in the near future. I still plan on streaming when I can. Hell, I want to stream. The SMG top ten is calling me, and I am more than capable of reaching it. And I need to start learning SMS. And then there's the 3D Mario Speed League I joined, run by Natetastic. I have to budget that into my stream schedule as well.

SMG remains my top priority. I need to get a time I am happy with. And frankly, even 11th place would be good enough for me right now. Learning SMS while in the middle of moving might be hard, but I am going to try. Even if it's just practicing GS and some basic movement, saving my first real run for after the move. Or hell, I might do a shitty run with no skips just to have a time to improve on later. When I can, I will throw in casual streams, playing either steam games or replaying old PS2/GCN favorites.

So yeah. It's a boring answer. SMG and SMS, getting a good time in one and learning the other. Maybe some more SMG 120s to work on that too, since this is all for future 602s. Things are going to be hectic, but I'm trying.
