  2. Stream Plans
  3. ------------
  4. As you may have noticed, I haven't been doing speedruns for the past several months. If you watched my stream there towards the end of August, you may have noticed that I was EXTREMELY burnt out. I essentially only ran Majora's Mask on my channel from February 2014 until the end of August 2018, and over time, it took a toll. Even when I wasn't running the game, I was finding strats, glitch hunting, and timing peoples' route ideas. I wouldn't say it was unhealthy, per se, but taking a break was absolutely necessary.
  5.  
  6. To combat that, I took quite a bit of time off to do some casual stuff. It's been long enough now, though, that I feel ready to return to speedrunning!
  7.  
  8. I WILL be returning to Majora's Mask, but not immediately. Before I return to MM, there are several games I want to run. There are also probably some games I don't even know I want to run yet. I don't want to be beholden to an exact list, so I won't post one, but I'll definitely be doing Ocarina of Time and Super Mario RPG, among others.
  9.  
  10. When I do return to MM, I'll still be doing other speedruns and casual games as well, which leads me to...

  13. 50GC

  15. I'm just gonna go ahead and throw in the towel on the 50 Game Challenge. I spent close to 9 months in the middle of the year not doing casual games whatsoever, which really put me behind. Completing even 30 different games this year is quite an accomplishment to me considering I definitely haven't played 30 games in the history of my channel. In a way, I almost feel that having a concrete goal of completing a certain amount of casual games backfired a bit. If I wasn't playing a casual game, I felt like I was abandoning the challenge, which kind of went against everything the 50GC was supposed to be. It was supposed to be completely stress-free to get away from the stress of speedrunning, but adding a challenge to it kinda didn't really allow for that.
  16.  
  17. THAT BEING SAID, casual games are going absolutely nowhere. I will still have exclusively casual days all the time, and casual games before or after speedruns are certainly going to be a thing. I will NEVER AGAIN let Majora's Mask completely overtake the channel and put me in the place I was at the end of August.

  22. Thanks for reading, and I'm sorry if you feel that I abandoned speedrunning or Majora's Mask or anything during my time away. If I'd kept grinding through the burnout, I know myself well enough to know I literally never would have come back to it. Doing it the way I did allowed me to regroup and come back.
  23.  
  24. I also really want to thank those of you that stuck through the casual stuff. Given my immigration situation and the fact that streaming is all I can do while I wait for PR (that's less applicable now that I have a work permit, thankfully), it's super scary when you begin to experience the degree of burnout I was experiencing. Having you guys there supporting me even while I was doing something that wasn't super popular means the world to me.
