Slow week, but I had some company this weekend :) I made a discord mostly for people to suggest games for this project to me. If you want to be able to mention games and have me ignore your suggestions entirely, feel free to join. https://discord.gg/9vrn6HJ

Ran two games this week that I'm really thrilled with (and a handful of other games as well). People have been recommending games for me on my discord server (discord.authorblu.es) and I really enjoy it. Even if 90% of them don't work out, I love becoming aware of more games. This has been an awesome experience for learning more about retro video games.

SPECIFIC GAME INFO:

34
Times of Lore is perhaps the coolest run I've learned yet for mostgames, and I strongly recommend other people to give it a shot. A really cool cross between Zelda 1 and Ultima that ends up being a really short speedrun that is pretty fun to try to optimize. Big thanks to kruskader for all the hard work he put into the game originally, and with a little bit of rerouting, he and I have together pushed the game down from 22:xx to 18:50/19:12 respectively.

36
Jurassic Park 2 GB is also a surprisingly cool speedrun, which brings the total number of good Jurassic Park games to two: this one and Trespasser. I will continue to work on this one if starvinstruthers or anyone else beats my time. Looking for some bop wars.

38
I don't really have any intention of improving Castlequest further. The game is a *really* good run, and I'd love to see some of my friends like Jeffrosledger or Toad or Whitehat do runs of this, but it can be a bit frustrating to optimize and I don't want to work on it forever. I'd honestly give the game a 8/10, but the speedrun is just pretty brutal.

All the runners on the Othello leaderboard used the same route/game, but I just tried the TAS route and I saved time so I mean, no big deal. It's a silly speedrun. Here we are. I had to re-time the whole leaderboard to break the 4 way tie for 1st, but getting arbitrary world records is literally the most important thing in the world.

42
Fatty Bear's Fun Pack started because I was playing around with Othello games, and I figured I could trick the game into giving up a quick match, so I did offline attempts for a few hours trying to force the AI to mess up, and I eventually got a game I was happy with. When mathgrant saw that I had done that, he donated for me to play the other games as well, which I figured why not. The AI is pretty stupid in Lines and Boxes, so I think the only way to improve it is to spam clicks faster, so I don't care. Getting a better time in Go Fish is just pure luck. I did enough games of it to get a time I didn't hate.
