Quickcade 2019

I want to start this by simply saying that yes, my run had technical difficulties, but it really doesn't matter too much because the video will be uploaded to youtube soon anyways.

Quickcade 2019 was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Being able to meet so many awesome people that I already knew of like thebpg13/Viper, Natty and Joshimuz, whilst meeting runners that I'd never heard of before like Etem and Christerious was an awesome experience that I will never forget. Etem mentioned that I should come to ESA asap, and as soon as I get a job, that will be a top priority. It was also fun to sit on the couch for CTR and CMR, and both runs were pretty damn solid, so shoutouts to Natty and Viper for that.

As for my run, read the first sentence, but besides that, once again, it was awesome to be a part of such a good event, and I had kind of forgotten since my last marathon was 3 and a half years ago how exhilarating a live run is. my hp1 run ended up being a 1:18:02 (1:17:59 RTA) with 1st try > 1st try FSS, (which I was over the moon about) 2nd try sloth brain skip which is more than fine, and even though I game overed on clody skip, the feeling of finally getting it was actually incredible. On top of that, I had never hit fast voldy until this run, and then I randomly got 4/6 fast voldy, which was insane, so yeah, incredibly happy with how it went.

TL:DR = Very Happy, Quickcade was amazing, and so was the run :)

Now then, on to the future, as I previously mentioned, getting a job so ESA can happen is a priority, but so is looking after my family's health (don't worry there fine lol) as I am pretty much at this time the only fit one in my household, so y'know, yeah.

For speed, I am going to do what I said I was going to do for a while, juggle all 3 Crash racing games until CTRNF drops, I have 1 day to get a good time in NF, before a 2 week holiday the day after it drops, then I will come back after then and grind the everlasting hell out of it. Until then here are my goals, going in order of LOWEST priority:

CTTR for a lower 23 in No PSW, as well as possibly a 2:56 in 100% and maybe picking up penguin hell.
CTR for a dingo pb in both Warpless, 101% and maybe Max%.
CNK to improve both Any% and 101%, I want to make this clear because who knows if it will or will not actually happen but let's just say I don't really just want to improve the times in this game, I want to kill this game, because this game deserves better WR's than it has right now. Don't get me wrong, the WR's are good, they're DAMN good, but they're not where I want them to be as of right now.

To conclude, Quickcade 2019 has opened my eyes to how fun and interactive speedrun events are, I want to go to as many as possible and as soon as possible. I said to myself that about 2 weeks ago there will be a day when I'm too old to speedrun. That's bollocks.
