making this a tad early so i dont forget lol. some good runs this time and BigJon is going to be there (unless shit happens again)

runs of note imo
Stream 1
Lego Ideas - Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone 25$%. not sure what the run is but its a $% and those are good
Duolingo. another run i dont know how it goes but it might be neat??
Price is Right segment hosted by BigJon. was supposed to be at he last one but stuff happened. his Deal or NO Deal segment was good and this is with a good game it sho9uld be excellent
Nintendo Power (Half) Hour. a challenge/showcase of uh something
Super Mario 64 Live Blindfolded Tutorial. sounds interesting if nothing else
Mario Party 3 blindfolded showdown
Meegah Mem II. this is a shitpost version of mega man 2 that is somehow still available for purchase on steam which feels kinda legally dubious imo. worth seeing at least once
The Outfoxies. the originator of platform righters and a generally neat game. lots of silliness in multiplayer but im not sure how a speedrun will go
TAS Showcase. its TASBot so it should be something
Tears of the Kingdom. first event with this if youre into that kinda thing

Stream 2
Final Fantasy 14 ARR 20$%. this is it this is the run. the ff9 20$% run was incredible and i havent even seen all of it. and i probably wont see all of this one either because who knows how long itll go. estimate of 23 hours but who knows where the 20$ will take us

and as usual theres some nes/snes runs ill try to catch

day 1 going

lego ideas run up next

run was nice mess

and the donation milestone was a game of jenga and the loser got a pie to the face. good stuff all around
