Meant to post this several days ago, but here a my personal GDQ badge collection, featuring the three GDQs I have attended: SGDQ 2018, SGDQ 2023 and SGDQ 2025

I didn’t take as many photos of people at this SGDQ as I had done in the past, but here is what I have: @cjya.bsky.social @hexspeedruns.bsky.social @thabeast721.bsky.social @bigiftruman.bsky.social

I am back in my apartment after a long two day drive back from SGDQ.

Just left the hotel in Indiana and am about to begin the second day of the two day drive back to Albany, NY

Finished the first day of the two day return drive to Albany, NY; in a hotel in Indiana now.

About to leave Minnesota after a week at SGDQ. And so begins the long two-day drive to Albany, NY.

I’m here! #SGDQ2025

About to begin the second day of the two-day drive. Since this will last well over 10 hours, I had to get a Starbucks drink a bit bigger than I would usually get:

Just finished the first day of the two-day drive. I am now in a hotel somewhere in Ohio.

I am about to begin the two-day drive from Albany, NY to Minneapolis, MN for SGDQ!

I am now 35.

My first 200K in NES Tetris! YouTube video by GBADS

Here is the video of my first 200K in NES Tetris from last night: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMHu...

Got my first 200K in NES Tetris!

For quite some time, I have been trying to get a 200K score in NES Tetris (my PB is 197K). I am now live trying to get a 200K score. Also, its my 2-year affiliate anniversary! twitch.tv/gbads

I had a habit for years of highlighting all my streams, so as of a couple of months ago, the total time of my highlighted videos on Twitch was 700 hours. After going through a lot to download both the streams and the chats, I got just below 100 hours of highlights right before the deadline!

Ever since I began streaming around 2017-18, I had a habit of highlighting all streams on Twitch. While I was simultaneously recording locally, I still did so. I am now paying the price, having to go through HUNDREDS of hours of entire streams through 4/19 just to get that number below 100 hours.

Last night, in NES Tetris, I got a score PB of 197K. I am now live attempting to go for my first 200K score: twitch.tv/gbads

Nothing like getting a Carl raid while playing some classic Tetris!

I have been grinding on Level 9 start in NES Tetris for some time. Still haven't bested my score PB of 161K on level 8 start, but twice tonight, I bested my lines PB. It went from 102 to 110 to 123. And I reached level 12:
