Announcements / Happy New Year - 2024!
« on: Jan 01 2024, 01:54 PM »

And so, another new year begins! Last year was a bit of a roller coaster, so...as they say in Dynamite Headdy, "You've got another try." I did start and finish *two* Treasure games last year - Mischief Makers and Silhouette Mirage. And...uh...got a PB in Sonic 1 SMS Remake right on New Year's Eve. Oh! And I started a randomized Digimon World 3 playthrough!

My goals for this year are pretty much similar to last year's. I still would like to do a 20th anniversary special for this site (it still counts). Definitely gotta get my ass in gear with .para//Bound (the concept is almost 15 years old). And some other stuff. Like, more speedruns, more casual games, more Digimon. And stuff!

That's pretty much all I gotta say right now. Sooooo....Happy Noot Year! Here's hoping this one's productive! (Yeah, brain, I'm talkin' to you. Get your shit together!)

Announcements / Post-move Update
« on: Oct 15 2023, 03:07 PM »
So, I'm finally moved and pretty much settled in. I'd like to get back to streaming, but there are a couple things that need to be done first. Right now, I'm using a Raspberry Pi as a wireless bridge until I can get Ethernet hooked up in the room I'm using for computer stuff. I've ordered the things that I need to accomplish that, and they should all be here by Tuesday. Did a bit of a trial run with the longest cable I had on hand (staging in preparation for the keystone jacks), and it was still too short, so I ordered a 100ft cable - which should be more than sufficient. After getting that hooked up, all that's left is the desk - which we've decided that I'll take the one that's already in the basement to save the hassle of disassembling it to get it downstairs. It's cool that my roommate has the same exact desk I have!

Another obstacle I have to get past? I came down with a cold or something. And every time I think it's going away, I'm back to coughing up organs I didn't even know I had. So...once that finally stops for real, I should be able to get back to streaming! The post-move stream with the evil games is still going to be a thing, I just need to figure out when.

Announcements / Moving....Soon
« on: Sep 12 2023, 05:56 PM »
I've been in the process of moving this past month. Haven't gotten it all figured out, but I gotta have everything moved to the ... "new" place (same as the place I lived over 10 years ago, actually) by the 30th. So the server will be down sometime soon (yeah, no date set in stone. great planning!), but will be back up once it's relocated.

Streams this month will be ... sporadic, at best. Honestly been stressing about moving and stuff, and it's hard to get into the right head space to do anything. And I still gotta get caught up on other things, which I can hopefully do after the move.

I'm accepting donations to help pay for gas money to get my stuff transferred over, as well as to keep me fed. Gonna be a lot of going back and forth, 26 miles. For every $12, I'll add an hour of Sonic Spinball, Titus the Fox, or I Wanna Be the Boshy to a post-move marathon stream. And it might be a streamiversary/belated birthday/whatever kinda stream on top of that. Because all of that will be long overdue.

Any and all donations are appreciated. https://ko-fi.com/icekitsune or https://paypal.me/kitsuria - whichever works for you, it all goes to the same place. If you got a request for any of those three games (actually 4, 8-bit Spinball is on the table), let me know!

Honestly, I just want this month, and this move, to be *done*. Birthday be damned.

Announcements / An update for the sake of updates
« on: Jul 27 2023, 04:26 PM »
Uh. So, yeah. February 25th was our 20th anniversary. I meant to do some stuff for that, but...uh....Real life and shit. Y'know?

I'm still planning on doing a special stream for the 20th anniversary of this community, and my 10th anniversary on Twitch. It's probably going to be after I move (yeah, I'm moving again). I haven't gotten that figured out yet. Hell, I was supposed to update the site's theme months ago. I'll get around to that, too.

What have I been doing lately? Well, aside from putzing around on the internet instead of doing what I've been falling behind on...I've started doing casual gaming streams - especially now that I've switched to Linux. It's another project on the pile - getting a good setup for speedrunning on Linux. That should hopefully not take long. But at least I'll be able to get my backlog down quite a bit now!

I've also started on adding RSS feeds from these forums to our Discord. Right now, it's just the Gaming, Pokemon, and Parabound News forums. But I'll be adding more soon.

"What about .para//Bound?", I hear the one person ask. I'm workin' on it. I swear!

Announcements / It's 2023 Now!
« on: Jan 01 2023, 06:16 AM »

So, another year has come and gone! I know it's been quiet here, but as far as my speedrunning goes, I've gotten three PB's on the leaderboards, one of them being a new run I've picked up (Sonic The Hedgehog Forever). I got the sub-20 minute time I've been grinding for in Sonic 2, and I'm working my way to reclaiming WR for the Tails in Sonic 1 romhack.

This year is a special year for this site, the end of February will mark its 20th anniversary. That's right, we've been around for 20 years, through a few name changes. While it has been quiet on the forums these days (much of the activity is now on the Discord server), it does mean a lot to me, at least. I do have things planned for here and on Discord in the near future.

For some reason, I forgot to post an announcement about the arcade being back. But it's back, thanks to Ruffle. Some games may or may not work fully yet, but for the most part everything works well!

I will be restructuring the forums a bit, and I'm considering adding RSS feeds to the Discord server so posts will be visible there, too.

As for .para//Bound, I'm almost done with the second town. I've got things set up to where I can do scripting from wherever. I still have to fix some of the sprites that got messed up by GIMP. And I will be posting updates on this more often. I know it's been a few years since I posted anything in the .para//Bound board.

And I'm planning on doing more than speedruns on my streams. I've cleared 3 games from my Steam backlog this past year, and I'm currently working on Recettear. I also plan on running Tanglewood more often. Still working on the schedule for that, but I feel like alternating Fridays for casual games and Tanglewood would work out well.

That's pretty much it for now! Here's to a (hopefully productive) and happy new year!

Announcements / Happy New Year - 2022!
« on: Jan 07 2022, 11:57 PM »

Yeah, I'm a week late making this post. But hey, happy new year! Here's to another year of stuff! (And hopefully better than last year!)

My goals for this year are... pretty much the same as last year! I did get some PB's last year, including Gunstar Heroes and Tanglewood (which *were* on that list of things!), so that was sweet. I've also started to do more than just speedruns on my channel, and I plan on continuing with that soon! It will take a bit to figure out when to schedule it, but I do want to work through my long backlog of games. Sonic Adventure is one of those games, and I am interested in the Tails speedrun of it, of course.

.para//Bound is a work in progress in progress. I plan on setting aside times for actually *doing* anything with it - whether it's scripting or fixing up the sprites already made.

As for my writings, I do plan on continuing Digital Dimension and Kitsuria Chronicles. Been thinking over the latter, and wanting to reboot it (yet again) for... reasons. Let's just say some of my dreams will have an influence on my stories.

And this website? While not a lot of people visit (or log in), I do want to do more with it. The arcade is hidden, but still working (I've got Ruffle set up) for *most* games. Probably some other things, too, which I can't think of right now. It would be cool to see some life here again, though!

That's pretty much it. I'm hoping to post here more often, with more than just the random announcements.

Announcements / An update on my (lack of) streams
« on: Jul 22 2021, 12:27 AM »
So, some of you may be asking why I haven't been streaming. Best answer I can give? My body has not been cooperating at all this month. I've been fatigued, my mind's been cloudy, and, well, it just hasn't been pleasant. That was the first two weeks.


Then there was *this* week. When I thought everything was getting better on this past Sunday, I have not been able to get more than 2 hours of sleep every night. Don't know why. All of a sudden, I've become nocturnal again, which contradicts my regular life schedule. Then I'm dead tired in the middle of the day, disassociating, having shitty short term memory. Shit fuckin' sucks, and it's rather demoralizing.


I'd been wanting to try out my new setup for speedruns for the past three weeks, but with my body and my mind the way they've been, I'm not able to give my best performance. I'm hoping I'll be back to normal soon.


Until then? I dunno. I do have to put my PB's on YouTube and stuff, so I should get on that.

Announcements / Happy New Year -- 2021!
« on: Jan 01 2021, 03:13 PM »


Congratulations to everyone who has survived 2020! That was literally one hell of a year. Here's hoping this year will be awesome, and things start going back to some form of normalcy.

I'm not going to lament about the things I didn't accomplish last year. Getting through the year was an accomplishment on its own. And hey, I did some stuff. I picked up a couple more games to speedrun, I've updated this site to have a more modern layout, and I made a tiny bit of progress on .para//Bound. So that's something.

Goals for this year? I haven't completely decided, so here's a small list of what I want to do.

  • Make even *more* progress on .para//Bound. At least something substantial to show off.
  • Learn to speedrun Gunstar Heroes, Ristar, and Tanglewood
  • Finish Sonic Adventure 1, learn the Tails speedrun of that
  • Get through my ever-expanding backlog of games.
  • Continue working on Digital Dimension and Kitsuria Chronicles.
  • Improve this site's theme, add some variants as well.

Got some other stuff I want to do, but that's pretty much it. Here's hoping for an awesome year!

By the way, I had a hard time deciding on the image to use for this post, because 2020 was... 2020. So here's the original one I slapped together:


Happy noot year!

So glad this year is almost over. Barely got anything done at all, but that's okay. I'm getting to it. Here's some stuff going on.

Kitsuria

I finally got around to setting up the new theme that should work well in mobile browsers. Decided to stick to the Kitsuria 3 color scheme (and banner) for now until I get around to doing some other variants. I've removed Pets and Inferno for now, and am still setting up the SMF Battle mod. Not sure how well that will work out, but we'll see. I've also removed the Arcade because Flash support is ending after next month.

Streams

I've been trying for a more consistent schedule - Mondays and Tuesdays, I do my speedruns, and Fridays I play IWBTG fangames. Still trying to stick to it, but at least I'm doing Mondays and Tuesdays more often in a given month.

Also, this month, I'm participating in two events. This weekend is the Fastest Furs Fall Festival, in which I'll be running Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Tails NG+. Schedule can be seen here. Next week, I'll be racing against others in Sonic 2 for its 28th anniversary. So that will be fun.

.para//Bound

I haven't forgotten it. Just trying to get inspiration and motivation. I'll hopefully have something more to show.... soon?


Aaaand, that's all I can think of for now.

Streaming / McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure PB - 24:48
« on: Feb 19 2020, 09:27 PM »


I haven't touched this game in over a year (new year's marathon aside). Not a bad time.

Streaming / Dynamite Headdy (JP) PB - 40:15
« on: Feb 13 2020, 10:31 PM »


I messed up in several places, and got crappy RNG. I managed to one-cycle Reckless Wheel and quick kill Izayoi (aka Nasty Gatekeeper). If Dark Demon had better RNG, I'd have gotten sub-40 for sure.

Streaming / Sonic 2 (Tails) PB! - 21:24
« on: Jan 23 2020, 08:33 PM »


Oil Ocean 2 has a nasty habit of screwing me over. But it didn't win. I can definitely do better than this, but I'm satisfied with this time for now. I need to focus on other games.

And so we begin another new year. A new decade, too, apparently. Again, I'd like to thank everyone who has stuck around for this long, and those who keep coming back to this comatose site.

Once again, I'm not going to make some drawn out post of what I plan for this year. I need to stop being a lazyass, and start focusing on things. I want to get more consistent with my streaming - speedruns and other games I have yet to finish or play on stream. There's ParaBound, which I tend to work on for a few days at a time and forget for months. I keep putting off my stories. And I want to update this site a bit, since that's long overdue. I think what I really need is someone to yell at me or something.

But yeah, here's to another new year and decade. Hopefully it will be a productive one!

.para//Bound News / Sigma/Emerald Village Progress
« on: Aug 31 2019, 01:35 PM »
I wanted to release a demo yesterday, but there is just so much I need to finish, as far as importing sprites and scripting. So instead, I just recorded a quick playthrough of the Sigma/Emerald Village part. There are some bugs to fix and edits to be made, but hopefully things should be ready "soon".
