Oh and I never made my announcement properly anyways lmao.
I moved to Arizona for graduate school. This is so big for me as someone who never thought they would make it past undergrad a couple years back. Excited to see what this new life brings :)
Thought this deserved a bit of an update since i streamed twice and just kinda dipped:
I was able to ship out to my grad school a couple months early on very short notice and wasnt able to bring much except some clothes and a laptop for work.
I will be back in late August
Had a wonderful time doing comms for the Graveyard invitational on https://t.co/ORR02RdclC
Thanks to JMar for putting it together and inviting me! Still lots more races to come so go ahead and tune in!
@bintendo42 I relate to this heavy. The only advice I can give is if speedrunning isn't fun anymore, a break would do you some good. Give it at least 2 weeks to a month and reassess whether its worth it afterwards. I feel so much better after quitting tbh but everyone is different.
@zootslide@bintendo42 Standards in speedrunning are entirely self imposed. Not fair to compare what you consider good to others regardless of whether they've got a better or worse time than you. Once you hit that wall its tough to just say grind it out and continue.
@shiftposting Idk if you've caught up with the series but I actually thought S2 was much better than S1 for character and world building that gets taken advantage of later when context is given
People who have no idea anything about my content or me as a person or my history do too much talking! I'm a Youtuber not a "professional speedrunner", I speedrun against muffinboyhalo & co. for fun and entertainment and have for over a year.
My expectations are so fucked based on where I am and I dont have the time or patience to put in the work I would need to get there. I wish i could stay around the game but all doing runs does is make me miserable and I should've known time off wouldn't really help
Yeah i should've done some more runs before coming back. I cant handle the stress of running against a timer and seeing how much im fucking up, so im just done. Sorry.
