Super Mario Bros. Any%

A draft I found from August 2017:

It's time.


I have taken a break from any% long enough, and it's time to revisit my old friend. It's time to destroy this game once and for all. Super Mario Bros any% has been by far the project I have spent the most time on. It's been quite a journey thus far, and has brought me many opportunities that I'm grateful for. I'm happy with what I've accomplished in gaming up to this point, and if I achieved nothing else I would still be satisfied. Everything at this point is icing on the cake.


I look back at my gaming over the years, and sometimes it feels like I accomplished very little given how long I've been in the competitive gaming scene. I'll be honest in that I compare myself to others and wonder why I don't have nearly as many speedruns or variety in my gaming. However, on second thought, I've accomplished most every goal I've seriously sought after.

-----

It's been nearly NINE years since this thought. I did in fact go back to Any% and play periodically up until 2020. My best time still stands at 4:56.695 done on January 11th, 2019, which was somehow over 7 years ago.

Time has been flying by. The draft from 2017 is still how I feel about Super Mario Bros and my gaming. I have finally started to make an effort to improve my time again, but I'm indecisive about what i want to do going forward. Heck, that's partially why I'm finding myself back writing on this blog. Writing a healthier way to express my thoughts in a more concise way than the long rants I tend to do on discord and otherwise.

Looking at my blog and thinking about how I'd like to create more videos, maybe I will translate my blog posts into video form with more up to date information.
