After three years of begging me to participate in her group's annual speedrun marathon and me declining because I didn't know any game well enough to feel comfortable putting it on display, my friend @MargaretAnnMid finally persuaded me to perform a co-op run with her this time around.

Game: The Adventure Pals
Category: Co-op NMG
Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/therpgvalkyries

The RPG Valkyries are a group of women and non-binary gamers, and their annual event, SpeedRun Ragnarok, starts earlier in the day tomorrow. Their "cat block" culminates with our run at 5 PM. Estimate is 3 hours. Notably, we have an incentive for a cat cam where I will attempt to spotlight one of my two cats on webcam, as well as a couple game-related incentives. Proceeds go to Take This, a mental health organization.

The Adventure Pals is a level-based platformer with a quirky sense of humor.

NGL, I'm a little nervous. Not only do I not feel like a true expert in the game (though I have finished it 5-10 times for the occasion,) but I'm someone who needs to think about what I'm saying before I say it or I have a high tendency to have something really dumb come out of my mouth, and I really don't want that to be on camera while I'm multitasking with a game. Also, I'm honestly not sure I've got all my equipment set-up. So here's to hoping everything goes okay. At the very least, the only team to ever post their time to speedrun.com has a very high time, so worst case scenario we're basically guaranteed to set a world record!

I'm gonna stream tonight -- not the game I'm running. Starting with my Genshin dailies before switching over to a LTTP randomizer race at 9. If you want to drop by to watch or just to offer some words of encouragement, I'll be at https://www.twitch.tv/azuarc

It's gonna be awesome! Also, uh, azu meant it's starting at 7:15pm tomorrow, not 5pm (that was my fault, I have another run around 5 and my brain has been leaking out my ears planning this event for the last few months). But anyway, there are lots of other runs going on, too. Feel free to check out the horaro for the event to see if there's anything else that piques your interest: https://horaro.org/srr2022/schedule

And, azu, I believe in us! You and I do good joking around together, so we'll be okay ^_^
