A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF WORDS- BUT ENOUGH TALK, HAVE AT YOU...wait, you are not richter

This is basically for me to tap on the idea of "microblogging" but on my own hut instead of at [insert website here]. Why? Because I wanted to - and also try to put my focus on...actually posting the small stuff I want to post, rather than getting sidetracked by the good [art, funny or cool clips], the bad [stupid take of the day and the inevitable QRTs dunking on it] and the ugly [fill that in yourself].

and yeah it was one of those days when I decided to put this together, although now I have more experience [and reasons] to carry this out

also hey I figured out to use this collapsible button to have the text explaining what this page does yippee

Thinkin' about things [and ring racers...and srb2kart]

november 13 2025

So first things first, Marble Garden PB in RR 2.4. Cool that I can actually get the plat with Vectorman, but I still grinded for a sub 1'20 tune when I beat it and took me a fair while - needed to wait a bit at the start for the right cycle to kick off and reach the booster cut with the spikes being down without needing to slow down.

About the thoughts I was alluding to at the heading, it has been interesting to currently put my Ring Racers GP and TA runs on my replay warehouse channel which is basically dedicated to raw footage of whatever I play rather than sending them to the main channel - usually I would actually throw the tough stuff on the main channel [but also the Master GP runs in the 2.4 RCs] but I've thought on whether it would be more palatable for my *main* channel to be only for edited stuff [even if partially or minimally] rather than dumping all my Ring Racers [and such] raw gameplay over there. I miiight make rare exceptions for exceptionally tough stuff [like that Virtua Racing Bay Bridge 1st Place in the arcade version if I EVER GOT IT] but I've somehow been...okay with throwing most stuff in the RW channel despite almost anything there having zero motion [compared to my main channel where at least there would be maybe a hundred views at minmum].

I guess its just the freedom of being able to upload whatever there without being concerned at all about whether its a banger or a flop, which is arguably also why I ended up making this page for writing down updates like this rather than trying to cram my thoughts on [social media]'s character limit only for it to not go anywhere - whether I really wanted it or not.

Oh, and I also mentioned SRB2Kart, right? Well, its seventh anniversary is in THREE days. Hmmmmmmmm.

Ring Racers 2.4 Desert Palace TA 1'19"51 with Vectorman

november 12 2025

yeah

[quoting the description] One hour of grinding later but got my sub 1'20 in Desert Palace with Vectorman - the platinum was a high 1'20, but despite beating it twice, I wasn't satisfied until I got a run without very obvious mistakes, as I knew I could cut sub 1'20 if I pulled that off

Update on stuff from last night and today

november 12 2025

First of all, I only find out today that I had erroneously set the past entries with one day in advance...since for example, the DAYTOOONAAA bit was from yesterday nov 11...but was marked nov 12 and so.

I tried Shox last night [SHOX ZONEEE] along with doing a time attack run in SRB2Kart's Sunbeam Paradise with Gamma [got a sub 1'30] and today I tried out some more Fire Emblem [cleared the first gaiden chapter then accidentally got Serra killed by placing her on the range of two horses and a ballista on the next chapter, whoops...time to restart that] while I waited for my dentist appointment - to my surprise I actually got my braces removed today.

DAAAAYTOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAA usa 2 is back on the menu

november 11 2025

yeah I revisited the game once again, took me a while to pull this off with the Easy and Hard cars [not so much with Normal] but got first place in the Beginner track in the Hardest difficulty with all three cars [may try Hornet Classic again later] - Normal enjoys controlled drifts and decent speed, while the Easy car swerves on the low top speed problem [it can do the last turn well even with the grip focus, but you need the right line] only solvable with slipstreaming other cars, and the Hard car although has mad top speed [more so when slipstreaming] but requires swell consistency with your drift timing, knowing how much to hold down the accelerator during the final big drift, and of course make sure to not spin out the car as you drift it through the final turn. expect embeds of these runs sooner or later

told you i would embed it when it was available [haven't rendered and uploaded the easy car run yet]

good morning, you will see something noted here when i do something

november 11 2025

its 8am, now is when i'm gonna put my hands on something and then you'll likely see me write about that progress here - but hey, i did say i'd make this page for writing whenever and whatever i wanted sooooo helloooooooo hello hello there i'm gonna open kdenlive

one more before going to sleep [ring racers 2.4 master runs, frieren]

november 10 2025

so first thing...the ring racers runs in video. yeah its in plural now cause I did a spring cup one after sneaker cup and got it on my first try [nice]

the second thing is frieren

watched episode 7 to 12 with my brother tonight, aura got told to hop off that lobby [also yeah its picking up even more now, quite neat].

So...we're doing this again with Ring Racers huh

november 10 2025

yeeeeeeeeep I finally had a chance to try Ring Racers 2.4's Master mode [I had played the release candidates before this and a bunch of online in the final version, but hadn't tested 2.4 Master on the final build] - first try I got just an A-Rank with 362 points cause I biffed Withering Chateau + got no ring bonus in three out of the five races.

You can see the new one [right click the image to open it in a larger size if needed] has quite a much more robust spread though, despite getting 2nd in Storm Rig [good performance overall otherwise] and me doing a mistake in Autumn Ring getting me a B-Rank [but I somehow could steal first at the end]. Expected something in the 375-385 ballpark so was quite nice to see a whopping 390 smashing the [370] target for the S-Rank.

Well, this not only reminds me of when I was doing the S-Rank runs in Master 2.3 last year, but also when I was documenting my progress on that on my first Game Log page before I changed the website theme...now that really takes me back. Nice of this bulletin to give me that memory due to being able to just go on my thoughts with that here [also my thoughts on the run itself will prob be detailed on a subtitled upload of said run sooo yeah see you later].

A test bit [featuring Fire Emblem]

november 10 2025

So uhhh, I've been playing Fire Emblem Blazing Blade recently [on the phone] and on the sixth chapter of Lyn [yes I know its practically a tutorial], I did the stupid idea of trying to take Matthew's word for granted in the worst way possible: Giving Lyn the Armorslayer from that one chest to fight Bool.

I got one tapped. And the game autosaves so I had to repeat the whole chapter again. Both of my brothers [one of them laughing] told me off for not reading the pre-battle window that should have warned me clearly that my ass was going to get cooked by Bool if I did that, whoops.

At least next time I got Erk to fry that guy. But you know, stupid games, stupid- UGHHHH I thought about the kind of people that say that phrase and now its ruined. Uhhhh...oh well, things that happen to a novice after all [I have known about FE for a while but this is the first time in years I try playing one of the games again]
