Post SGDQ 2019 Thoughts/Plans

Post SGDQ 2019 Wrapup:

Welp, better to write these late than never. Wanted to compile most of my thoughts about how SGDQ 2019 went and some of my highlights.

The Run

The run went SO much better than I could've asked for. If I thought Pre-Sequel was my peak, than this blew it out of the water by a fucking mile. Costumes were great, banter was great, the run/time itself was great, the devs on the call were great, everything was great. It's gonna be super hard for us to top that run for a long time. Donation game was on point, I screwed up a dab, the usual. Practice Runs went ok at the marathon although the one new crash we had happen had us deathly afraid of possibly losing 3-5 minutes due to nothing.

Producing Backstage

So this time around, I got the 7am-11am shift due to something coming up with someone else at the last minute. This time around, we had no real tech issues which was great! Had a lot of fun this time around backstage. Also, I was backstage when we hit 3 million dollars and let me say that every video I've watched still has yet to capture the full energy of that room. I'm honored to be a part of GDQ and the insane amount of work we do for charity on a yearly basis.

Activities/Hanging Out

I actually got to try an escape room for the first time which was actually really neat. I've been slightly hesitant about trying one but now that I've done one, I wanna do more in the future. I got really good at a new rhythm game in the arcade and managed to pass one of the hardest difficulty tiers in the game. Got to actually walk around Mall of America and it was much bigger than I remember. Last time I did that we just B-lined straight for the mini-golf course and didn't do anything else.

Future Plans

For now I have 3 immediate plans for the future:
	- Borderlands 2 Coop All Quests (shooting for 2:32 on this run as a minimum, 2:30 might be possible? needs more work before we can shoot for that one)
	- Borderlands 2 3 Player Any% (this WR is free and we just want to destroy that category. Sub 1:20 is very likely possible)
	- Destiny 2 Last Wish (we have a big plan for this, but I can't say much atm, goal for this is sub 22. This will become at least a once-a-week thing)
	- Hat in Time Any% again as a solo game but we shall see if I get the time to do it.

I don't think however that I will have a run in the next GDQ though. Pre-Sequel hasn't had anything new, BL2 just got shown off and I doubt they would accept 3 Player Any%. My only hope would be for Destiny 2 to be accepted to GDQ, which I've already been talking around and it'll take some effort to convince them that it'll work.

That's all for now. SGDQ2019 was a blast, I'm looking forward to the next GDQ already.
