Thinking about how crazy and cool it actually is to be playing against people from Scotland, Mexico, Guam and many others in a sorta-competetive league of a 20+ year old video game in which we complete highly specific but random arbitrary goals as fast as possible...
New wrong warp gets found
Tons of people start working together and labbing how to do it
We find setups to clip OoB and hover where we want.
Figure out inconsistencies
Finalize the route idea
Finish a run on vanilla
8 hours later Count gets a new WR on his 3rd attempt
Insane
Having new major findings again and again every couple of years ever since I started following/running OoT has always been my fav thing. I was a little depressed after SRM, thinking we'd never get that again.

Today, I've got an extra special one. Here's the thumbnail, if you can believe it. Link in the tweet below this one. You should watch it, trust me on this.
15yo me would be absolutely mindblown if I told him I downloaded a 60 GB game in 1 evening. I remember it took several weeks to download Vice City back in the day (although not from, like, official sources). Now I'm like "Yo, lemme grab dinner while Cyberpunk is loading"... Wild

Take a guess on how that went...
Scouting my tournament opponent when I found this. Big BINGO has known for YEARS! But we've UNCOVERED the TRUTH! We'll no longer be PLAYED for FOOLS! Wake up!!1! @triforce3250
Absolutely loving my Ireland vacation for the past week and a half, but seeing all those Bingo races happening also gives me huuuge FOMO... Not for tournament prep (no expectations this year really), but rather just wish I could enjoy the grind along with everyone :(
