help me choose my next speedgame and also fix my bullshit

my relationship of 2 years is ending and i'm gonna be stuck paying for my apartment on my own from now on. this wouldn't be a problem because i'm paid decently well at my job, except i have about $6500 USD in debt from unemployment a few years ago still to pay off that i was chipping away at each month while trying to maintain something resembling a normal life.

i can't afford to do that anymore, so i'm gonna be penny pinching for a while. basically my goal is to at least get to a point where i'm paying off more per month than i'm accumulating in interest on top of bills+food. that's not easy to do with the cost of living in toronto and i'm not in a position to uproot and leave to go anywhere else. this means i'm not attending any more smash or speedrun events for the foreseeable future except maybe agdq if things are looking more stable soon.

so here's the "why should i donate money to you lul" part

long story short, ofc you dont gotta do that. all donations/bits/subs are appreciated but twitch is not my living. it'll just help me get back on track faster. donations through streamlabs are best because they go to me immediately, whereas bits and subs i don't get for 2 months. i deposit all money donations into my bank account and use it to pay off chunks of my debt immediately, so you know that's what it's going towards.

but here's what i'm actually doing to justify having money thrown at me:

1) now that i'm unable to attend marathons, i can just stream whatever i want besides agdq practice. i've been itching to learn more speedgames! one of the games i've already committed to learning is dkc2 any%. i'd like to focus on 1 other game besides that. i issued a twitter poll that put animal crossing all debts, alttp any% nmg, kirby super star 100%, and pokemon red any% glitchless as the most wanted choices. if you donate, sub, or cheer in my stream you can say "animalcrossing" "pokemon" "kirby" or "alttp" in your message (or within 1 min in my chat if you forget) to "bid" on one of those. whichever one gets the most will be the one i learn first, although i'd like to learn all 4 eventually. i'll end this on dec 31st since there's no way ill be ok before then

2) i also do a bunch of other neat stuff on top of streaming that you might not have known about!

the bid war tracking software i'm using for #1 is actually my own code and is available for download on my github if you'd like to use it yourself: https://github.com/pidgezero-one/Bid-war-tracker

i made a google chrome extension that updates a text file with the name+uploader of whatever youtube video youre watching, useful for ppl who like to listen to youtube playlists while streaming (you can use it as a text source in OBS and it will auto update): https://github.com/pidgezero-one/obs-youtube-updater

if you're into smrpg, i wrote the majority of the speedrun wiki and made a lot of the segment video tutorials. i also made a mobile app to help runners memorize japanese translations and minigames. i also created the universal damage calculator and an exp charting tool, and i host and update the timed hits catalog created by caerulius and trogdor: http://smrpgspeedruns.com

i also make other tutorials for speedrunning and smash on https://youtube.com/user/pidgezero1

i'm also working with speedgaming to create a full-fledged speedrun event calendar that will help you easily find submissions, registration, and things to watch!

i don't do this stuff for money but i know there are people out there who appreciate content creators, so if you are one of those people and feel like tipping me for any of this stuff at least now you know what it is lol

3) if you like any of the above in #2 and think it'd be cool to have for another speedgame, id be down to talk commissions

4) i might sell perlers idk. here's a pink geno i made https://twitter.com/pidgezero_one/status/818500484038324224
