SGDQ 2019

SGDQ 2019!!!

This gdq has been my favorite, no contest. Since I started attending in 2016, I've always felt a little out of place, having never really been a part of speedrunning, as well as not really knowing anyone apart from my brother. People have always been welcoming and inclusive, but I still had a lot of trouble being myself, for fear of being annoying mostly. This year that changed completely. I was finally able to get out of my own head and just be there and have fun, and I think (hope) it showed. Spent a lot of time in the past thinking about stuff like this, and it feels wonderful to feel like I worked through it finally.
