Shoutouts for 2018

So after watching the queen of Denmark's speech this year for 2018. I was really inspired to write some big thanks to everyone who had an impact on me this year. 2018 was one of the years where i pushed myself the most in speedrunning, the first 4 months were insane when it came to that and in the later half i was dealing with a lot of anxiety. I am still at a battle with it, but fear not, because i am definitely on the come up and i feel SO much better than i used to a month ago.

Don't feel too bad if you're not on here, if you consider how many games i have played and how many communities i have been in, you start to realize that i could have crossed paths or conversation with over 700+ people. This is also just people that have impacted me this year, so if we haven't talked a whole lot this year i apologize. Also sorry for the differing lengths, i know some people better than others. I still appreciate you all a lot, i'm sorry if i forgot anyone, and i hope that 2019 will go well for all of us.

I've categorized most of the communities so just CTRL + F to find whatever you want, i'm not gonna make you read the whole thing

THE WIRED

Kuitar - I can't tell you how much you mean to me as a friend. It's been really awesome watching your growth as a person over the years since i met you in 2013. You have way more distinct opinions these days and i can proudly say you're one of a kind. You've helped me so much realize things from both sides when i have been biased. Be calm with me when i have been uneasy, and do work for me with wanting nothing in return. Thank you sincerely, can't wait to see you again.

Goofy - I can't tell you how happy i am that you are the person that carried the legacy of the game i came to tie my name with. You are a force to be reckoned with in everything you play and i admire your skill and hard work. Not only that but i feel like even at an early age, you have a great ability to distinguish wrong and right, and you are able to say no to things, even if group pressure is at hand. You're a great friend, you're funny and i hope i can meet you one day.

Ibs - I feel like we both have a lot of things to learn from each other, and that's why i really value our friendship. A day is never boring with you in the call, or with you around in real life. It's awesome to see you pursue things you enjoy, and that you are always so open to have people come over. Thanks for being there all these years, and still sticking with the communities you've been in despite not playing anymore, it's gonna be good to see you again.

Raccoon - Where do i even start wow. Your character development is indescribable, i feel like every single time i hang out with you. There are predictable things i can expect you to say, but other avenues i wouldn't ever imagine coming from you. You really give me a new perspective on so many great things, and i admire your ability to stay informed and educated on topics you might be unsure about. It teaches us all a lesson to think before we speak. Thanks for being there all these years

Dexz/Linda - You two are extremely brave people, i feel like you have both given up on things in your life that would be perhaps more benefitial to your own comfort, but would be harmful to the relationship. It takes a couragous pair to sacrifice stuff for the health of each other. This is perhpas something i need to learn myself one day, when the time is right. In the end, i don't mind what you two do as long as you are happy. Even with the ups and downs it's awesome to see you guys stick together like partners in crime. Our trip to Copenhagen this year was great and i am thankful you guys accept me for who i am despite my narrow vision on certain departments.

Brummen - I honestly don't know too much about you, but i really really like your charisma you bring to conversation a lot of the time. Your simplicity brings me back to ground level and makes me realize that life is just about enjoying what you wanna do sometimes. I am very thankful that you are one of the people that legit watches me for almost whatever i play, it really means the world to me. Thank you for the support man.

Witcher - A focused man is a focused man. I saw that in you years ago. I heavily admire your discipline, and i can't always tell where it's coming from but you seem to have a drive and strict work ethic that is unmatched. Despite those things you still know when to have a great time. Very socially aware and that's always great to be around. You care for others and i think that's something we can all learn from. Just don't forget about yourself from time to time, because of course, that's important too!

MY DISCORD

Crystal - I don't even remember when our friendship first come to be, it all seemed so out of the blue. You've been a big support to my stream, and to so many channels in my discord, helping keeping it active. I am very thankful and i KNOW you can do great things in music if you give yourself a bit more time and just keep at it.

Shrimpy - You've had it fucking rough man and if there's one thing i cannot stand, it's how terrible things happen to really great people. You think about others so much more than you think about yourself, and i really think you gotta think about your own health from time to time because you deserve a helping hand from time to time. Yet here you are supporting my discord, my community and doing you. Thanks for being there for all of us.

Chrz - The super homie. I really admire your honesty. Despite my absence from streaming and making stuff for the public, you're still so active in my discord, you post in #music basically every single day. You could have found any other place to share your opinions and stuff but you chose mine and i am very thankful for that.

Pluppz - How in the hell do you find EVERYTHING i do entertaining. I could be doing the most boring shit on the planet and you would still enjoy it. THAT is some dedication. I am forever thankful for your support, it makes me really emotional that if you aren't asleep you most likely will show up for whatever i do, and that just a dream for me. Not only that but you are just a grateful guy all around. Thankful for what you get, interested and invested in what i do and how i am doing, and you even showed care for my mental health when it was at a low point by guiding me towards meditation apps. Thank you so much for your loyalty, i owe you big time.

Normandy/Kennie - You two are a big inspiration to me in terms of life goals. I definitely don't think i would ever want to build a family but seeing the happiness between the two of you and your kid is just something to strive for in my eyes. You've both been really positive around me, you've been good at listening to me and other people when we have problems, and i just can't thank you guys enough for putting up with me from time to time haha. Stay awesome guys

Sam/Roberta - Thank you guys for spreading so much positivity and comf to the channels in my discord, i think you've both had your struggles and little time during the day to give those feelings attention, but i'm sure the right time in life will come where you will be more at ease with yourselves. Make sure to let you control your body and emotions, not the other way around. I believe you guys will go far and do great things, thanks for all the support over the years.

Blaust - Still the title holder of longest twitch sub. I can't believe you have stuck with me for this long haha. I feel like you are always so laid back, you stay out of drama and just enjoy the good things in life. Keep being you man

Kayihan - Thanks for popping in every once in a while. I feel like you've got great opinions that can be applied to life. I'm sure you can go far if you work hard and don't develop bad habbits like me haha. Appreciate all the support over the years

BFOmega - Thank you for never being boring. You're always fun to have in the chat. When you stream for so long you start to predict patterns in certain viewers, and you come to expect something they might say but i've never felt that with you, and it's kept me entertained and made me more motivated to stream for people like you. I appreciate your effort to try and come around to see me this GDQ, let's hope it'll happen!

Sten - The lengthier conversations in my discord are often started by you. So i owe you one for creating depth and reason to my discord. Thank you for offering your help in the time of need, thank you for playing games with me as well earlier this year.

Noggy - I feel like you have always offered me help in the time of need. When i speak to you i always come back down to earth just from your relaxed nature. You contribute great things to the communities that you are in and i just wanted to say thank you for that.

Moe - Thank you for hanging out with me when no one else would. I generally struggle to find people i can relate to in Denmark, i can't really put my finger on why but it might be because of how americanized i am. I feel like you were welcome with open arms to hang out, play games, talk to me about whatever and help me out. Thanks a lot.

Acrox - Thanks for your contributions to music and art. I feel like video game music is super underappreciated and you're finally someone that gets it haha. You've also just been a big supporter of my stream for the longest time, so thanks for sticking with me

Grenen - Thanks for always checking up on me and everyone every once in a while, you'll kill it in GUN man.

PaperRac - Thanks for being such a funny guy. I thought you and Chrz were the same person for the longest time hahaha.

Flippy - Thanks for keeping it real with me, i feel a bit guilty for worrying so much about things when i am around you, because i feel like things don't seem to phase you as easily. I really wanna try and work on that moving forward. But other than that i feel like we have started to click more and more as we get older. Thanks for the great time at ESA.

Divination - Thanks so much for all the posts about updates on news and games in my discord. I always feel a bit out of touch about where to get that kind of information these days. Thanks for being a great and helpful guy too.

Foas - I told you years ago that with the intelligence that you have, you would end up in rocket science. I still stick by that, i think you're a really smart guy and with a bit of direction and discipline you can go very far in life. Thanks for all the great posts in #music too.

Claemax - So supportive of my speedrun and mental health progress, thanks for being so understanding and positive around me, you always make me smile.

Ryan - Thanks again for being such a loyal viewer despite what i do. Happy that you're always checking in on me. Thanks for your music posts too!

RM - It's been a pleasure watching you shape as a person over the last few years. I feel like you've learned a lot, and now you're ready to jump out there in the world as the new you. Thanks for all the support

Persona - Thanks for being laid back and supporting every streamer in the Playstation circle, everyone needs a viewer like you.

Mayalarm - You've been watching me for sooooo long, thanks for always checking up on me!

Korkad - Thanks for all your VoHiYo and anime posts :3.

Skubo/Pollytesla - Both of you really supported me this year and you are both one of the reasons i can go to this GDQ this time around, thank you sincerely.

Rest of my discord - I don't know what i would do without you guys, seriously thank you all for supporting my progress with mental health, running meditation, streaming, speedrunning and just overall being interested in my life.

THE-ELITE.NET

Sammy - You were one of the first people to welcome me to the-elite. I joined voice chat on the first night and i feel like we clicked almost immediately. I feel like my life would be close to identical to yours if i lived in the US and actually got my shit together. You're one of the best people at seeing things from another perspective, and it always teaches me something. I have a lot to learn from you and to be frank i always want to get in voice when i see that you are in there. Thanks for all the support, i feel like you actually understand where i am coming from with a lot of my issues and it hits home to hear that you get it. Keep being you, and i'm sure your career will be great in the following months.

Dusky - Your dumbass always makes me laugh for some reason, i can't explain why but you bring such a good atmosphere to a discord call. If i the discord call were to be the ingredients to something, you would be the hot spice. Always got something cooking up and it's just great hanging out with you. I will still remember it as clear as day, when i joined VC on night 1 of joining The-Elite, and you got Frigate 23 on that very night. It was a great time, i CAN'T wait to see you at MOAM, it's gonna be so good.

Randy - The actual first person to welcome me to the-elite. You saw my post and saw potential in me as a player, and i'm really happy you believed in me. You have guided me through so many levels, your advice has really helped me start out getting some beginner friendly times. You're also a very reliable friend in the times where i am feeling lonely, i think it's cool that you're there for me all the time. Thanks so much for all the good times man, can't wait for MOAM

Harry - The way you treat other people is really inspiring to try and replicate. It's awesome to see how passionate you are about the things you are into. We always have really wholesome calls, and i feel like you are a yet another great person at teaching me to stay determined, and letting me know how "not daunting" some of the stuff i go for really is. You can also tell taylar that she's got a very nice and soothing voice, and is super kind to be around, i'm very happy she is there to support you, and i'm also thankful she can bare listening to us rage sometimes haha. Thanks for being there for me throughout these last months.

Wodahs - Crazy to think that i followed GoldenEye speedrunning very vaguely in 2014 and 2015. You were the ONLY person besides maybe a bit of Marc and goose here and there that i followed. Something about your aura and personality was just interesting to watch. I feel like you didn't give out information about yourself too much at first and it kept me really intrigued for some reason. I just wanted to know more about this cool person with the most zen mentality. Today going in to 2019 we're good buds, i'll go as far as to say you are the biggest contributor to helping me with my anxiety. No joke, your pressence has often "cured it." For the rest of the day. Crazy how something like that can occour but i am so unbelievably thankful for you being there when i needed it the most. I can't wait to meet you at MOAM.

Luke - Yet again another person that welcomed me with open arms on day 1 of me joining the-elite. Seems like i joined at just the right time. The summer league was a bit over halfway done and "Buy the Dip" needed another member. Crazy to think that the champion himself approached me about joining the team, to eventually take the win in the 2018 Summer League. You've been a great coach, teammate and friend through the time of the league and out of the league. You always look for different ways of interpretations, it can get so interesting that it becomes infectious. I think you whole heartedly deserve to be the champ right now. You have worked for it, you're a great guy, and a great figure for the community.

JD - Thanks for showing up and just being a really chill and relatable dude. I like your humor a lot and it's hard for me to imagine you not geting along with someone.

Yendis - I think your passion and interest for GoldenEye is great. I always like seeing you help new people, because i feel like teach them the ability to fish, instead of catching the fish for them. You're a great guy, keep being you

Metalhead - I'm glad there are things in life we have both taught each other, learning from each other is a big step towards improvement, and you have definitely helped me on that avenue, thanks for all your help and for being chill in vc.

Pauli - I really inspire to be as understanding of a person as you. You help people with a realistic outlook on life, and are also willing to give people some insight on the levels you are good at in PD. Thanks for being cool with your snazzy comments. I love having you around.

MW - The man who always makes me wanna push myself to get better. I think you have taught me a lot about not worrying too much about improvement speed and not seeing results right away, and i am forever thankful for that.

KevinDDR - Thank you for being so enthustiastic about a game a lot of people seem to want to play offline. It's great to have a big speaker for the PD community, and i always enjoy watching your streams. I'm sure your rise to the top in many ways will be swell.

Joris - Thanks for all the encouragement for Chicago 0:14, i can't tell you how many times i have seen your run to not only study, but to admire the sheer speed and beauty of the run. I want to one day replicate it and make you and everyones else proud. Your support is greatly needed for a new player

Clemens - Thanks for being the person i can always count on to have a stream when i'm going to bed. You're an amazing player and i inspire to get to your level of excellence one day.

Ace - You've had some very thorough forum posts i have enjoyed reading a lot here at the end of the year. I'm really happy to see you streaming again, i hope you will get the times you so desire.

Hedsnoww - The mate from my Summer League team, i really hope you get somewhere in life that youw ant to be. It's important to work hard but also understand your emotions along the journey. No point in getting upset over things you inevitably can't change, i know you can do great things, you just have to keep at it and stay positive, i believe in you man.

Wally - Much like pauli, i get a very down to earth energy from you that's awesome to be around, it's always fun talking about the game with you because i feel like you are willing to see things from the opposites point of view a lot of the time.

Mike Mint - The homieeeee. Thanks for understanding my issues with anxiety and patting me on the shoulder when i tell you about my progress in life. It's really nice that you are so supportive towards everyone in your chat, i hope your stream grows cause you are such a chill guy.

Jono - Absolutely one of the nicest guys in the-elite. It's severely underappreciated how much you do for the community. I think a great deal of the dynamic with the community wouldn't be here without you. I think you're really funny and great to be around too. You have a very infectious laugh i can't get enough of haha. Thanks for understanding my needs and funding me to MOAM, it means a lot to me that you and everyone else in the community would do that.

Irie - Literally one of the first people to introduce me to the community. You give such a nice place for new people to come and hang out. Without your discord i don't know what the hell i would be doing right now. You have helped me out in so many indrect ways you have no idea, i'm so thankful for your generosity, i know you can get to top 10, just gotta keep at it. Thanks for everything irie.

Sam Haycock - Despite our differences i think we have a lot to learn from each other. I think it's really great that you understand the concept of practice and picking up skills at such an early age. It's gonna help you out in life tremendously, i'm sure you'll do good things and come back to the-elite in 10 years with a giant list of achievements you are proud to show us. Even if not, be happy for what you have, who you are, and i know you can find peace

Madoka - I am really sad that we had to end on such a sour note, i wanted to include you regardless because i feel like we have had good moments and laughs earlier on in this year. I only wanted to help and support you, but i feel like you should be free to do whatever your heart desires now. Thanks for the great times

Tyler - An awesome mate, always willing to help the-elite in time of need. Anyone in a pickle will be met with open arms by you. Thank you for hosting the B&B this year, you're really generous and thank you for your contributions.

JAK COMMUNITY

Ruh - I'll be honest, your humorous nature is always a bit intimidating for me to understand at first. I'm definitely a more serious person by nature so i always assume that someone on the opposite spectrum isn't going to click with me very well but boy was i wrong. You've taught me a lot, i really appreciate your qualities on perspective and outlook on life. I'm glad i have inspired you to start running, it made me feel great to hear that me trying to make an improvement in my life, made an improvement in yours.

Nate - God damn you're funny as hell. Just the thought about you saying something or you making a silly face just makes me laugh. Despite that though you are good at understanding social queues and finding the right time for when it's appropriate to be funny, and that's a skill that's underappreciated. You have a great future ahead of you and i'm sure you'll succeed

Headstrong - I can't tell you how happy you have made me this year. Coming in every single morning to watch your stream and to hear your voice quite literally puts a smile to my day from the get go. You deserve every bit of support you get and even more. I can't think of a more loving person than you. Thank you for exisitng, you're really great and i'm very happy pirate is there for you in the time of need.

Jonda - I know you've had it pretty rough this year, and so did i, but the key part here was the neither of us gave up. It feels like we did at some points but sometimes you come to the realization that you have things you want to live for. Just as i am writing this i am leaving for GDQ in 4 hours. That's insane. I have lived for months for this moment, and i'm happy it's finally becoming a reality. I KNOW you can get through the tough times, 2019 will be your year. Don't be afraid to take baby steps, it's how we all start out. Appreciate the fact that you took those baby steps to begin with, and LET someone KNOW about that progress you made. Hell, it can even be me. You'll kill it this year.

SixRock - It was fucking awesome seeing you at ESA finally. I feel like you've got good leadership in you to organize community events and fun times with everyone. Thanks for all the great times man, you're still so young, so can puruse anything you want.

Bobby - My man. Thanks for all the music recommendations and random convos you bring up, 2019 can be a sick year for you if you put in some vision and focus on a goal. I know you'll kill it.

Jazz - You're 100% on the come up man. You're such a unique person and it's great to see your drive for the games you speedrun. Definitely a relatable person, and a force to be reckoned with. Stay cool man

Josh - I am so happy to see your stream is going well, by far one of the most influencial Jak runners of all time. Not only in the skill apartment, but also in manners. Everyone has a lot to learn from you on both fronts. It's great to have someone like you be a big face in the community.

Chim - It's crazy to think that an oldboi like me can click with someone who has only been running for about a year. But we still have speedrunning in common after all, amongst other things too. I'm glad you're enjoying the community and it's cool to see you make progress in your games. I know life will get better and better for you

Mike - An honest perfect fit for the community. Your pressence is always appreciated. I know we joke around a lot about your gameplay and stream perhaps, but we all ultimately support you. You remind me a lot of myself when i was younger playing Jak 3. I just wouldn't give up, and that's something people should take notice of. Don't give up, if it's something you enjoy.

Lucas - I'm very happy to see you prove both me and the community wrong with your skill and growth as a person. I think 2019 will give you even more necessary time to grow on both of those aspects. Learning about yourself is sometimes frightening, but very rewarding in the end, so don't give up.

Burke - Your enthusiasm for anything you play is just so great to hear. Always up for a talk about anything, always up to listen to your progress in other shenangians, overall you're a great guy, and i hope that enthusiasm carries out into whatever you want to pursue further on!

THE CHILLEST BOIS

Cippy - My man. I know we both have some bad habits that are difficult to get rid of, but with a renewed will power i see in you these days, i'm sure you can do a lot of things. It's crazy how we still know each other and still click so well after all these years. We've got similar humor and character traits, and it's just a blast to be around you. You're really one of my best friends and i don't know what i would do if i didn't meet you.

Skrit - Something i may or may not have lost from just growing as a person, is my honesty. You definitely give me a little kicker into remembering who i once was by being blunt every once in a while. You've got some really great humor, and i think the chillest bois would be so boring without you man. You're a key piece in our puzzle, stay awesome.

Devan - I really value your honesty as well. It comes in unexpected waves that catches me off guard, and it gives a feeling of wanting to be sceptical about things, which is not usually not a way i look at things. I really like your passion and interest for what you're into at the time, it's nice to hear you talk about them. Going into 2019 i think you should use those passions and interests to think about perhaps wanting to create stuff on your own. It's also important to listen to peoples ideas, and not undervaluing other peoples view on stuff. I think you're a great guy and i really think you can do almost life changing stuff in certain industries, if you wanted to. You're definitely one of a kind, and i think you should cherish that.

Xem - I really undervalue our friendship, i think you're such a cool person. I feel like you have accepted and settled on the things you have. The people around you, what you do for a living and so on has all come to shape you really well this year. I'm so happy to be your friend and honestly to god i am just happy you're successful, because i do think you deserve it. You've improved on many many things i used to maybe have a bit of a grudge with about your stream, and i can tell not only for you, but for the chat, you all enjoy being there a lot more. You've put in some great work this year and i'm happy to see it pay off, with you being happy as well.

Skitz - The man himself. I am literally writing this as i leave in 4 hours for WAM. I CAN'T wait for it. I'm so thankful that you're throwing together this thing for all of us. You're a necessary piece in the chillest bois atmosphere, i always feel like when you are in voice, it means you were busy but because we all mean a lot to you, you took the time out of your day to be with us for a little bit, and i appreciate that we mean that much to you, to deviate your schedule from time to time.

Mitch - You're definitely one of the most interesting people i have ever met. I think from time to time it's tough to have a conversation with you because your open mindedness and talk about perception is so large, it's like my brain isn't ready for it. But when i am ready, i know for sure i am in for something that isn't a small talk, and i am thankful for that. Not a big fan of small talk to begin with, so i am happy i feel like we have always clicked for a very long time. I hope you will continue being you, because you're one of a kind for sure.

IN - I always feel a bit bad because i feel like you work yourself to death sometimes. It might just be my interpretation, but i always appreciate your presence and i care for your well being. Everyone deserves to have some fun every once in a while and i hope you don't forget that. I'm also really happy that you are opening up about your feelings a bit more with us, because i think it's INSANELY valuable. It can almost be like dropping a bag with 10 kilos off your back. A true weight lifted off your shoulders.

Sina - I'm really happy to see you just pursue things that make you happy. I know you don't always have it easy, but you're a really kind person and you ahve a good sense of right and wrong, so i know you'll hang out with people that will support you on your journey!

RAC COMMUNITY

Franz - I have no words for the work you decided to put in to beat my time. I thought i was crazy with how much i grinded, but seeing you go even harder is just jaw dropping. One of the hardest workers i have seen when it comes to a single game, and i am proud of your progress. I remember you being ranked in the 20s when you started out, and the fact that you made it all the way up to where you did is just awesome. You've also shaped a lot as a person by hanging out with all of us, and i think it's a great sign that you'll achieve something remarkable one day. Keep being you man

Sneep - I'm really sorry we don't seem to talk anymore. We had some hurdles from time to time, but i really enjoyed your company when we were both grinding for times. I think you're a valuable part to the community despite what other people might say. I think with a lot of focus you can achieve great things in 2019.

User - I can tell that you're trying to get out of your shell more, and i admire your bravery for that. You're a really great and helpful guy. A very skilled speedrunner, and i'm excited to see you grow

Tab - Man where i do i start LOL. We've been best friends but also borderline enemies at the same time. I think figuring out that kind of relationship is a part of what makes us understand our differences. I'm not a perfect human by any means, so i understand now today why we perhaps may have clashed. Despite all of that, we've had some seriously good moments this year. And i think even if you're stubborn with running Ratchet at times, you work VERY hard on figuring out ways to improve yourself, and you should cherish your hard work more, because it is slowly paying off. Thanks for all the good memories and i'm for sure not gonna cut contact despite not playing anymore. Although perhaps an inevitable return is warranted.

Wiffle - Truly a good guy at heart. The hero everyone wants to succeed. You've put a lot of hours into Ratchet 3, and i think you deserve more than what people give you credit for. You've caught up to some all time legends to be #2 in the game, and you should be proud of that. You've always been more of a taker than a giver, whether it'd be advice or music suggestions, i think you value other peoples perspective a lot and it's definitely heart warming. Keep at it man, do your best (which i know you do) and you'll get what you want in the end

Tarna - Your character growth is something i can't quite put my finger on, but i can say for sure that the years to come might have some changes. You should definitely bring in those personality changes if they do happen with open arms, because it's what allows us to grow and understand ourselves more. I'm glad that you appreciate the things that you have, and i know you can achieve good things.

Isaki - I definitely think we clashed heads earlier this year but i now understand that i was being egotistic, and i really undervalued your contributions to the games i ran, and the communities you were in. I'm really sorry for acting that way, but i think you've got good intentions with what you do, and you'll keep doing that. Just don't forget about your own feelings from time to time, be at ease and accept those feelings and you can do good things.

Andy - Thank you for always being so helpful to the newer runners, always giving people a chance, and for seeing things from new perspective. I like that you take initiative to try and make things in the community better, your contributions will be remembered.

TBB

Matt - You might read this and laugh, but you have actually opened up about some things, and maybe i have helped upon that? We've talked a lot throughout the year about being unhappy with what you're doing, stopping and pursuing something else. Definitely something that shouldn't be taken for granted. I definitely value your views on things because i feel like you have those views, but you're not stubborn about shoving it into anyones throats. Thanks for the great year mate

Mag - Wish i could come to Copenhell this summer with you but the price is looking pretty outrageous for me. I know things can look super grim, but you still have a lot of really good stuff in life. If i were you, i wouldn't be afraid to ask others for help every once in a while if something is bugging you, or if you have something on your mind. Hope your 2019 will go great

Joe - I think you lay a great example for mental and physical health. While speedrunning is fun it's important to not forget ourselves, who we are and what is good for us. Your streams are always cozy and i can't wait to meet you at WAM again this year. Thanks for the running tips btw, i haven't ran for 3-4 days so i hope i will be able to at least keep up with you somewhat when we run together haha.

Ben/Inf/Walker/Venom/Nerf/Stuart/Zoomie/Tilts - Don't know you guys very well but you have all contributed to my well being, and have made my experiences with games better, thanks a lot for the great talks and the.. default dances too

SMASH DENMARK

No one in particular here, just wanted to say thank you for the great trip to The Netherlands this year. It was truly a blast, i have a hard time fitting into the community, so i hope my inactivity isn't something to be missed. I am enjoying ultimate so perhaps i might make a brief return to some locals with that. Appreciate you guys for still supporting me and listening to me in the time of need.

ESA PEOPLE

Elgu/Abbi - You two are great! I really like reading about your progress, whether it be about games, or in life, anything. I think your perspectives are always valued in my book, and your humor is really relatable.

Denmark Crew i drove with - It was an awesome drive, and it was great seeing you guys at the event, whether it be the first time or a reunion, it was great none the less

Rebel - You're underestimating how funny you can be man. I always love hanging out with you because you have a very similar style of imaginary humor as i. You're a great person and a great speedrunner, you may face some life struggles but you're definitely on the come up.

Brit - I really hope you enjoyed your trip to Iceland this year, definitely a much needed break from all the stress you have had to go through this year. I can't wait to see you again at ESA, i feel like we share a lot of things in common, and like with rebel, you're on the come up as well.

Salad - You're honestly great salad. I think your option select on things to do is actually undervalued. I feel like you always find a way to get multiple options out of a scenario, and pick the best one everyones happy with. 2019 can be a strong year for you if you work hard and don't give up on your dreams.

Airmo - You have always been there for me no matter what. Always willing to drive me, house me, do things for me in desperate times. I can't thank you enough for your support and help throughout the years. I don't understand why you would want to be this nice to me, but sometimes you just gotta not question it and go with the flow. Thanks for everything man.

Planks - Realisitc expectations is what you have taught me for sure. I am forever thankful for the things in life you have taught me about myself, about tech, and about what's to come in this community.

MISC

Sk8 - I literally wish i could be your roommate hahaha. I feel like we click so much in so many ways. We enjoy the same games, things, we even have similar perspectives on life sometimes. Thank you for modding my N64 this year, i couldn't have met all of the people above in the-elite section without it being for you. You're a true friend man. I know life can be hard sometimes, but perhaps in 2019 you may have to learn what i learned, and that is to come to terms with your emotions not matter if it's good or bad, and accept and welcome them as a part of you. I only want the best for you my man, hope the best for you in the next year.

Icy - You're probably the person i am most excited to see grow in 2019. I think you will do great things if you don't overshadow who you are and how you feel with shame, guilt or perhaps a wall of memes. I think you're a great player at whatever you do and you're a good person at heart.

Soe - Seeing you on the come up actually made me cry this year. I know how tough you've had it so i am just happy to see you well, i'm happy we got to talk a little bit this year.

Feebux - You've had it really tough the last few years and i am in absolute joy that your stream is going well. There might still be old habbits that you want to get "rid of." But i think accepting that those thought or those actions are what makes you stronger. Thanks for supporting me as well this year, it means a lot.

BH Discord - BROCKHAMPTON was a big part of my life right after Saturation III came out and a few months to follow. Thanks to Mark and Josie specificly for being very welcoming to my first non gaming community. While i might not be around anymore, i am honestly proud to have tried something new. I can't believe i found an interest in something so much that it was all that was on my mind in the early parts of this year. Music. I'm sure it will return but i am thankful for all the memories we had.

Adam/Spidy - The partners in crime. Thanks you guys for being honest with me, having super dope streams, and just being so welcoming everytime i come back after not seeing you guys for a while.

Ringo - My brother from another mother. I really fucking enjoyed your BfBB streams around the autumn times. They were sick as hell. You always had good things to say, great opinions to share, and i can't wait to see you grow.

ChristianC - Thanks for supporting me for so long man. It's been a rediciously long time since we met, and i can't believe you have stuck with me for this long.

Sheila - I am glad we've both been taught forgiveness. We have our differneces but i think you mean well, both to me and others. Don't forget who you are, and what you want to strive for and you'll do awesome things in 2019.

Deathnite - Thank you for keeping it 100 with me every fucking day of the week. I need an honest opinion every once in a while, and when you lay it on me, i'm all open ears. Thank you

Bertin's discord - You're all wild as hell but i wouldn't want it any other way. Thanks for all the laughs

EZScape

Phillotrax
Grig - One of my all time favourite people. We didn't talk very much this year, but honestly i could type a wall about your or keep it simple. Either way you would know that our friendship is unmatched. Thanks for being there man

Andre - It's been great watching you grow, it's been great hearing about the things you have experienced since we last talked and whatnot. I am grateful that you listened to my in my worst areas of anxiety, but as for you, i am just happy you're on the come up, i can't wait to see you again this time.

KH Community at AGDQ 2018 - Thank you guys for showing me DC. It was a fantastic trip, hope to see some of you all again.

Punchi - Thanks for the great streams and for bringing great entertainment to ESA with your runs and enthusiasm!

Alex_h0we - Another person i have loved to watch bloom. You're gonna fuckin' get there man, i know it. Just keep the battle strong and i know you can get there. Don't let other peoples opinions on you or your abilities say otherwise, take your time and do your best. Be happy with your progress and you'll do well.

DylWingo - The person that needed my help earlier this year can now stand on his own legs and more.. A LOT MORE. Holy shit man i'm so happy that i got to help you out with whatever it was you needed haha. I can't wait to see you this GDQ

Saboom - You said on stream you have some mad respect for me. Well i feel the exact same way about you too man. I think you're brave, honest, and you're not afraid to tackle more philosophical parts of life. Thanks for the great streams, it's been cool watching you grow as a person.

Piddles - Thanks for being awesome last WAM/GDQ and for finding me a great flight so i can attend this time again.


THANK YOU EVERBODY, 2018 WAS UP AND DOWN FOR ME BUT IT BE LIKE THAT SOMETIMES.

LOVE YOU ALL AND AGAIN SORRY IF I FORGOT ANYONE. STAY TRUE. STAY COOL. KEEP IT REAL. 2019 IS GONNA BE DOPE
