I went down a rabbit hole today learning about "high meat" and honestly I've never been more disgusted by human idiocy in my life.
The planet just needs to explode already

Video game thing

I dont post about health or personal stuff very much but thought id share a recent big accomplishment.
Today I weighed in at 208, the lowest my weight has been in probably the last 6 years.
My current goal is under 200 and eventually 187, which my lowest in 2018.
Happy to see progress

my sgdq submissions.
2 of the games that got me into speedrunning, 2 of which I have previously run. Fitting since this SGDQ will be 10 years since I got to show off my first run at the marathon.
Hoping for some good luck this go around

This is literally the perfect main menu for this games vibe.
Cannot wait to play this in the future

Shin Megami Tensei 4
I think this smt game has one of the most interesting plots and overall world building. Ended up with Law alignment. Only complaint is blind overworld exploration and objective finding is a bit rough. Definitely one of my new favorite jrpgs
9/10

Followed because im a huge fan of MDK.
But now you are mentioning spider the video game? Even more based

They are adding my girl jam to strive.
Thats cool.
Im still not interested in the game tho

Woke up and got junpscared by irritating stick on the timeline

Idea:
The ps1 mini, but instead of a bunch of classic titles its filled with the entire simple 1500 series

Tonight I played one of my favorite fighting games, rev 2, with a snack box.
I felt so unchained I may finally consider going with a lever less controller

I've never seen a game thats somehow visually simple AND complicated at the same time

Mario speedrunners will be like "bro is an old school legend" and the person they're referring to started speedrunning in 2021

Reposting this again today.
Will do a stream tomorrow but just reminding that I am fundraising for a pretty serious thing
I am trying to earn as much extra through gigs as I can before then but if I cant make this goal it will set me back and I won't be able to do gig work.
Thank you

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
WOW. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a Zelda game this much. Might be a top 3 contender. Only real complaints are ice palace and 1 boss but the puzzles and overall experience?
10/10

I HATE having to ask for help but the past few months have not been kind and I am struggling to catch up.
Any support at all is greatly appreciated and I will have incentives on stream if you want them.
I really hope after this i dont ever have to do something like this again
