TOMORROW Order of Ecclesia Any% speedruns return, now with the all-new Crab Skip! We'll be aiming to get the first record improvement with Crab Skip since it was discovered, this has the potential to save over a minute

Julius retelling the events of 1999 to Soma: #Castlevania

The Symphony of the Night community has solved the spike room. There are now consistent setups to get through here with ONLY Leap Stone, or ONLY Wolf + Gravity Boots. Thanks to DerDrach for helping me learn these tricks, we WILL see this in randomizer tournaments going forward!

Tomorrow is Day 1 of speedruns for Castlevania: Haunted Castle Revisited! This is the first Classicvania we've gotten in 15 years, with some of the best vibes and music in the series. Excited to get started

For any vegan / vegetarian / flexitarian followers, I'm strongly recommending Beyond Steak. Had this for the first time yesterday and it is THE tastiest wheat gluten on the market. Great macros and just absolutely delicious, perfect flavor & texture for tacos, burritos etc

Became vegetarian this year, super happy with that decision. Now I'm taking another step and eliminating all animal products, except some seafood for nutritional reasons. Basically vegan + fish Sharing for accountability. Gonna be tough, no dairy especially. Please wish me luck!

New World Record for Haunted Castle Revisited!! There is a TON of RNG on Normal Mode so you have to get really lucky, somehow managed despite a bad final boss pattern. Fun speedgame! Attempts will continue, want to achieve a 13:1x before moving on to the next category.

LOVING the SotN Impossible Challenge so far, today we got a GREAT run and a new one-hit PB! This challenge is Lv1, most good items removed, stat rando, starting location rando, & more Thrilled with how well the grind has gone so far, now it is time to apply the OHKO patch...

The Zero 2 classic

Bloodstained Tournament is BACK! Tony Ortiz is planning on hosting a 2025 Ritual of the Night randomizer tourney a little later this year. We'd love as many people to join as possible! Here's an announcement video: youtu.be/KCBDKXkzWaQ

Donkey Kong Bananza was a pretty fun game. Great movement, bad camera & really bad bosses, mid music, underwhelming platforming challenges. Becomes pretty repetitive by the end. Overall a decent time. I'm VERY surprised to see so many 10/10 reviews.

I am so, so impressed with Shadow Labyrinth. Reinventing Pac-Man as a Metroidvania series seems to have actually worked out! And I believe this is Bandai Namco's first Metroidvania title as well? Superb so far. Here's a clip from the incredible Blinky Ultra Instinct boss fight

Shadow Labyrinth aka The Pac-Man Metroidvania has got to be the most overlooked game of 2025. It's excellent! Here's a review I put together detailing why it's definitely worth your time: youtu.be/u19-_nhoCo0

A really cool new trick was found in OoT recently to Hookshot Jump all the way up Fire Temple and skip most of the dungeon up to Hammer. This saves over 2 minutes in categories that do Fire Temple and was one of the biggest tricks still left to find.

Starting to think Super Metroid really does have very dated controls and the whole "It's floaty AND precise, just need to get used to it" idea is boomer cope.
