I did one of the first speedruns of McDonald’s eCDP!

eCDP = eCrew Development Program. This game was uncovered and archived yesterday by Nick Robinson, and I’m one of the first people to do a speedrun of one of the minigames. I finished the McFries minigame in 59.450 seconds. Take a look:

I’m hosting an Emelia speedrun tournament!

Anyone is free to enter, so long as either a) you already have a personal best in the category, or b) you will get a personal best before the competition. It will take place during a weekend in January, but the date hasn’t been set in stone yet as I want to make sure almost everyone is available the day of the event. If you happen to not be available when the tournament is being hosted, you can arrange to have your race be pre-recorded and the commentator(s) will react to it live on stream. Registration closes on December 20th at 11:59 pm PST. I’ll message each runner if they got in the day registration closes, then I’ll make a formal announcement about a week after. You can register here: https://forms.gle/2RtA9FFd4RTf2PmY8

And here’s a trailer I put together. Feel free to share it:

I completed my first Emelia run – 28:41!!!

I DID IT!!! FIRST RUN OUTSIDE OF JAPAN TO USE RNG MANIP! I’m happy and mad cuz this would have been a new world record if my PS2 didn’t freeze so much from getting too hot. I’m still super happy with this run regardless, cuz my gameplay was really good. Here’s the run:

I’m gonna be improving this time in the future for sure. I’m comin’ for ya, clowps…

I got the first sub-40 outside of Japan in Lute’s Story!!!

I FINALLY GOT THE SUB-40! HELL YEAH, DUDE! I just randomly decided to stream today and it happened. Oh my god. I reset twice in Shingrow cuz both me and the game are stupid, then twice in Mondo Base cuz I’m really stupid, but the rest of the run was near perfect. I even golded phase 5 by a minute cuz I somehow managed to keep both humans alive.

And yes, this is indeed the first time someone outside of Japan has gotten a sub-40. I won’t be looking for another PB unless I suddenly get the itch again or something else is discovered that saves more time. You can watch the run here:
