hi.


speed~
-I feel like I'm hitting a wall with Aria of Sorrow where improving any of my times (except glitchless) is just a huge grind and idk if I'm willing to do the All Bosses grind. I'd like to join the ~gods of 23~ but hard category. sub 13:50 without Minotaur is possible but any lower than that i'd want to do minotaur grind which is shitty. I really want that time to be good though so I'm willing to grind it out. I also want to improve glitchless which should be f r e e but I just need motivation.
-I've finished learning Circle of the Moon Magician All Bosses. Pretty fun (but really hard) run. idk what my goal for this run will be but it's a fun speedrun that I can see myself doing. As a side note I fucking love CotM, probably my favorite IGAVania next to Aria (SotN is close though)
-The next game I've been eyeing as a speedgame is Ori and the Blind Forest DE. I fell in love with the game on my first playthrough and I'm playing through it again already (I usually don't do that). And the speedrun is super cool so expect that at some point.




Another thing about speedrunning I've noticed is that I'm really bad at learning games. idk why once I learn a game I can do runs of it but learning is so hard for me for some reason. If anyone who actually reads this has any tips on learning speedruns I'd really appreciate it.


real life~~
-meh. I've been better on the depression end I guess? My social anxiety is still really bad so that's no good but I'm working on it.
-Finishing up first semester of college fine. Switching my major to economics starting semester after next (soonest I can do it). So that's exciting.
-Have a job interview tomorrow so hopefully i can save up some money for Calithon/SGDQ.
