I'm still beside myself that I got to host, play Resogun at
#SGDQ2021
, and be interviewed by one of the main people that got me to start speedrunning. It was a dream come true, and I hope to be back soon! Love to all of you, and thanks for having me,
@GamesDoneQuick
!
I got a PB during
#AGDQ2023
?!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Thanks for having me once more,
@GamesDoneQuick
- it's been an honor to bring this peak gaming-level of games to the main stage. Hopefully I'll see you again soon!💙
So I've been kind of keeping this under the radar, but this upcoming
#SGDQ2024
is going to be a bit extra special for me.
This will be my first event as a member of GDQ staff.
Yup, the derpy smile on my face is very much present. ☺️
Supporting local camp counselors +

= I've already messed with people a few times and convinced them my phone had no back plate.
I love this new phone case...the dbrand robots did a job well done.
Well...Express Lane is one of the Hotfix shows that's going to be on hiatus for a bit. So before we hit the road let's make tonight's episode a party to remember!
Hopefully we'll be back with those pocket-sized speedruns that I've loved to show everyone in the future! 🩵
Starting Feb. 5th, GDQ Hotfix will be undergoing significant change to align with GDQ's financial plans for 2024.
We will be scaling back our live programming temporarily, while we restructure Hotfix.
Got my work headshot back, and this is a rare picture where I didn't immediately cringe while looking at myself. I give credit to most of me either off-camera or blending into the background.
Not going to lie, but I'm crying right now. Fourth GDQ appearance, but
#SGDQ2023
will be the first one I get to experience in person. AND to get to volunteer as a backup host, too?!
Thank you,
@GamesDoneQuick
, for making me so happy right now.
I'm swollen, filled with stitches and pain medication, but for the first time in my life I have white teeth.
How about that.
Now the road to recovery begins. Also cheers to Solyent being my main source of food for the next day or two, haha.
@Keizaron
For obvious reasons...as I stare at my declined submissions I completely agree with you on that point.
I think what's disappointing me even more is that I feel like I've "seen" this GDQ before; it feels like this event is very much a just bringing friends back together. (1/2)
Yes, I'm one of those sentimental people that gets teary-eyed seeing my name in the runner credits for
#AGDQ2022
.
Thank you for accepting myself and so many amazing runners and giving us the chance to kick cancer's butt. It was an honor and a privilege,
@GamesDoneQuick
<3
Super awesome announcement!
I've been selected to join the amazing women on the
#FlameFatales
2023 Games Committee! 🥳💙🥳💙
I can't wait to see what amazing speedruns everyone will be submitting
A little over a year in the making, but after a lot of blood, pain, and tears...I just got my permanent dentures.
Still not fully over the finish line (there's a few adjustments I already know I'll need), but I have at least one foot primed to cross that line.
You know,
#SGDQ2023
still feels so surreal to me. I teared up getting my first in-person GDQ badge...heck, it's only been two years since I really found my place in this fun world called speedrunning.
Time really does fly when you're having fun; I can't wait to see what's next.
HOLY HECK AND FLUFF - BACK TO BACK GDQ'S?!?!
I hope you're ready for one of the legendary awful games, as I'll be playing Captain Novolin in the Awful Games Done Quick block next January!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

@Keizaron
While for someone like me that's ONLY ever been accepted in the online GDQs, I now have that nagging feeling that I was only worth accepting for the online marathons. That's definitely my own insecurities taking the wheel, but the thought is still there. (2/2)
Two years into my speedrunning life, and I still get teary-eyed seeing my name in the credits. Thank you for an amazing
#AGDQ2023
, the wonderful friends I've made along the way, and everyone that worked on, watched, and made it happen.
See you in the summer! <3
So...I did a thing and submitted a GDQ Hotfix show pitch that had been rattling in my brain for a while. Basically, it's a show that would feature runners that run multiple categories in a single game and/or multiple games within a series.
Took my shot...let's see what happens!
So...life definitely has its ups and downs and the most stereotypically ironic of timing.
I spent a portion of the day today with my mom in the ER. She's in congestive heart failure, and I feel so helpless right now. Send good vibes her way tonight.
Wasn't able to make it to
#AGDQ2024
in Pittsburgh for unfortunate reasons, but here's to being productive with the current speedrun project - and a massive PB!
I had so much fun hosting
@GamesDoneQuick
yesterday with my surprise co-host, Galahad. But now it's time for some last few practice runs before my run of Resogun tomorrow at 4:46am Eastern!!
#SGDQ2021
#HorizonZeroDawn
has wonderful and wonderfully diverse characters sharing their world. Here's some of my favorite pictures I've taken of them!
#VPDiversity
Oh hey, it's me :)
By the way, my run is currently scheduled for 5:40am Eastern on Thursday, June 1st - right in the middle of Silly Block. You should check it AND the whole Silly Block out...we're a fun bunch of people!💙
An
#AGDQ2023
shirt update (aka why
@theyetee
is amazing)!
I emailed them about the shirts, and was able to stop by Yetee HQ and pick them up. As a HUGE surprise, they were super sweet and gave me a Yetee care package!!
Seriously, thank you for your help and kindness. You rock!!
I'd been playing this quiet, but I'd applied for GDQ Games Committee. I was MASSIVELY intimidated by the super-established speedrunners that also applied, and fully convinced a tiny runner like me wouldn't get noticed. But the amazing thing? I did make it to the second round. 1/2
GDQ Hotfix is coming back with seasons, starting May 7th!
Here's a look at our Season 1 & 2 schedules and if want to submit a run for any of these shows, use our run submission form!
Second-round
#agdq2024
submission in. Honestly, my confidence in this being selected is low because of how silly and obscure it is, but I'm in love with this quirky game...AND I'm enjoying finding the surprising amount of speedtech present in it!
It's been an bad few years for me, but last summer I've tried to take charge of my existence as best as I can.
These pants were tight on me last June, and even with seeing this, my brain still doesn't acknowledge that I'm not that person anymore. I'm trying to change it, though.
Did the right thing at work today, and in doing so ruined the only two friendships I had there while also making my future time there a nightmare.
I'm not in a good headspace right now.
I present to you...my obligatory
#AGDQ2024
submission roster. This is probably the most bizarre, incoherent collection of games I've put together - and I love every single one of them.💙
The fact he took time to find out what I've done with GDQ previously - for a little streamer like me, to feel seen by a well-known entity like him made it feel so much more special. Thank you so much for making those few minutes I stopped by the GDQ stage much more memorable. <3
Found out I lost a friend of mine. I'm not doing very well mentally at the moment. Trying to avoid processing this knowledge for as long as possible, or else I'm breaking down hard.
This is a long night ahead.
In the end I wasn't selected, but it's a small step in trying to find my place in the speedrunning/GDQ world. And any small step is better than no steps at all. :) 2/2
Here's my
#SGDQ2023
schedule! Come watch me roll TP around during Silly Block and listen to me host on Thurs/Fri! AND...check me out Sun/Mon at the
@FrameFatales
booth and ask about the upcoming Flame Fatales marathon!
See you at
