Allegory of the Bird 6/18/2018

Speedrun
- PB's of 29:30 in CV3 and 1:56:39 in NGB. Reminder that my goals for SGDQ prep was sub 30 in CV3 and sub 2 Hour in NGB. These goals have had their asses blasted off.
- New goals are sub 29 CV3 and sub 1:50 in NGB (which would be wr)
- I find it hard to imagine myself ever wanting to speedrun DKC2 again. Still way too butthurt over the 3 months of hardcore practice showing no statistically significant progress while meanwhile some gifted folks practice the game for maybe a week and then soar past me. After the most brutal practice grind I've ever done in anything throughout my life, my leaderboard position is on its way down, not up. I could be something like 8th place relatively soon. Fuck that, I'm pissed. SGQF. This is easily the greatest waste of time I've ever had in my life. I'm as bitter as you can possibly imagine and I want everyone else to fail too.

SGDQ
- Next pastebin monday will be a reflection on sunday night's NGB run at the marathon.
- NGB is 11:45 ET sunday evening, and CV3 is around noon on tuesday.
- I am looking forward to SGDQ for 1 reason and 1 reason only - sleep.

Misc
- Ordered a souped up laptop specifically tailored towards optimizing music and video production. Outisde of a car, this might be the most valuable thing I own. I'm going to work on shifting my free time from something completely useless to me (speedrunning) to something long term valuable (recording music).
- I have a decade's worth of music ideas that just need to get produced once I have the means. The hard part is going to just be learning the ins and outs of the software and learning how to say no to video games, the easy way out.
- Once I get the laptop up and running I'm toying with the silly idea of having weekly IRL grill streams where we chill outside and grill food and drink 40s.
