Video pillar showing cherry blossoms at Kansa Airport

Boarding starts soon. Until next time, Japan, hopefully - these weeks have flown by.

No u

If I were home right now, I'd have thought of an anniversary stream, but, you know. It's still something I'd like to do soon.

For now: "Thanks everybody!"

In the beginning I was not streaming that frequently - I think my second stream wasn't until a month or so later. Gradually I started doing more and at some point though.

All these years later and I'm happy with what it's been leading to so far - and especially that I was able to stick to it.

Today (the 21st), 10 years ago, I was streaming on Twitch for the first time.
I played Dustforce for about 90 minutes.

It was pretty much only casual gaming at first - I hadn't begun speedrunning yet.

But I won't forget the thrill of finally doing what I've slowly been working towards doing.

Conveyor belt sushi

My last full day here, which I figured I'd end in style.

Flammkuchen with blueberry, gorgonzola and lots of salad

CW: Food

In Japan we've been eating various kinds of foods, so obviously we had to try, um, Flammkuchen. With blueberry and gorgonzola.

\o/

Hm, let's say... 7-8 minutes, give or take? From when we left the hotel :P

I can't believe it, I finally found him, here of all places! 🤩

Good luck!

View from aboard the Shinkansen

Goodbye Tokyo, it's been a pleasure once again. Now for the Shinkansen to take us other places.

Sushi restaurant, at a table where the food is prepared in front of you

Also I went to this place, and it's by far the most amazing sushi experience in my life so far - I doubt anything will top it.

I made like a bajillion pictures so I won't post all those, but believe me, it was goood.

Fluffy pancakes AND the Ghibli Museum? Sure!

It was great.

Tokyo hotel room view

A view from the hotel room before it started to rain.

Arrived in Tokyo, rather cloudy day, it seems.

*takes note*

Sokeriton Hartwall Jaffa lemonade

Had to wait in between flights, so yeah, Finnish lemonade.

Thanks!

One more night of sleep and then it's off to Japan. Looking forward to being back there and also seeing more of the country this time.

Also just glad that the wait is about to be over because it felt like forever, lmao

Couldn't post a live notification because this site had issues, but I did some on-stream Super 16 practice before my travels start.

Getting some finished times at least. I'm just glad MMX went alright - that's one of the goals on the list I've been fearing, haha.

Now to return later this month!

Oh damn, stay safe over there.

I wanted to see what this would physically look like on the desk so I made a quick mock-up in Blender

Yall already know

maiba achieves the first 1:20 in 96 exit

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to maibaRTA for achieving the FIRST 1:20 in 96 Exit history!!!!!! YATTA!!!!!!

I mean, that sort of sounds like the game, honestly!

Well, I almost finished an All Castles run! I need to work on my backups though 😅

Briefly fired up some other Super 16 games after but right now I just need to do some further work on that offline.

Was good to be back streaming!
