2018 Speed/Etc Goals

Kinda late for this but I've got a few goals across some different games that I want to accomplish this year, who knows how much of this I will accomplish but hopefully all of it.

-Sub-42'30"000 GX Max Speed course total (-1'12"470, would put me at current rank 15)
	-Sub-42'00 stretch goal idk (-1'42"470, would put me at current rank 11)
-Sub-36'56"284 GX Snaking course total (-1'10"041, would bop mengsk's current total and put me at current rank 6)
	-Already quite a bit of a stretch goal probably, this will be hard.

-Sub-30'00"000 X course total (-1'44"365, would put me at current rank 69)
	-Pretty easy if I just play enough, it comes down to how much I enjoy grinding X. No clue what a stretch goal looks like for this since I have so much to learn and I don't even know what it takes to shave off large chunks of time.

-Maintain rank 2 in KAR All Tracks No Dupes should I get bopped by paul or someone else like sanic or whoever
	-Probably will push for WR if this happens since the margin from my time to WR is only 16 seconds and timesave from switching to swerve sandoola/bike machine passage should be around 10 seconds once I learn them.

-Learn MK8DX 48 Tracks 200cc and actually do runs. Idk how long it would take to get certain times but probably minimum sub-1:32 to be remotely satisfied with a run. Might do some nitro/retro/bonus tracks runs too depending but I would assume that makes for better practice anyway. Hopefully playing on cartridge over digital version isn't a significant timeloss but with the current 4th place run being on cartridge I'm assuming it's fine.

-Learn a new speed game (maybe Hat in Time? Need a better computer first but that's in the budget for this year surely anyway)

-Continue enjoying doing All Tracks runs of X/GX while acknowledging their pointlessness in terms of actually being competitive or meaningful

-Attempt to promote some revival of popularity in KAR (ARAT particularly)



-Attend Calithon - submitting GX Snaking All Tracks and KAR Air Ride All Tracks
-Attend SGDQ - submitting GX Snaking All Tracks and KAR All Tracks No Dupes
-Attend AGDQ (2019) - submitting GX Snaking All Tracks and KAR All Tracks No Dupes (unless either get into AGDQ [unlikely])
-Run F-Zero X All Tracks in an online marathon - maybe Degen Dash or A Race Against Time


-Nonspecifically stream more (maybe at least 6 times per month?)
-Clean up my stream a little bit? Higher stream resolution (with new computer eventually), cleaned up channel description, new stream icon/banner photo/offline photo, maybe panels in description idk
-600 Twitch followers (????? bit of a stretch and a little out of my control anyway lol)


No promises on all of these; if I get bored of going for one of them or otherwise aren't enjoying them I'm not gonna push for them then just because I think now that they would be fun.
