I've been thinking a lot about if I actually want to do this, but here it is: my new speedrunning goal going forward will be to complete 100% runs of every mainline Zelda game!

cool bluesky not letting my posts go through and then posting all 4 of my attempts at the same time like half an hour later

and also turbo, but i understand that's a completely nuclear take

but like, people laughed at the suggestion of turbo for down-punch spam, and look what's happened: a few top runners learned it, and everyone else quit*

you can comment on runs (if the game allows it), idk if you can like run comments (i assume so?)

also you can follow people lol

Photon @photonsr.bsky.social · 6d

NFL’s New Overtime Rules

- First possession per team
- Which comes first: score or possession
- If coin flip is heads, elect to kick or receive. Same if tails, once possessions
- If a field goal is kicked on first possession, team on field must acquiesce

The yankees are a bunch of nobodies. Seriously, can't name a single yankees player. Huh, strange, wouldn't have this issue if they wore names on their jerseys.
