Rando? In my rando?
So over the years I've spent hours and hours and hours trying to make rando and glitches more accessible for everyone. I had a rough time trying to figure out how to start racing; you really had to search for literally any information about rules or settings or formats or how any of it worked at all, most of it was hidden in a Discord I didn't know about for ages, and even there a lot of it wasn't pinned and you just had to ctrl f and pray.
All of that to say that you should go and give my rando crash course webbed site some love. And also join a rando race. I'll give you a free cookie.
I was working on a Google doc guide for rando for a few months, but I've abandoned it in favor of fleshing out my skips playlist, since at the time of making it there weren't really any guides that covered everything (or a least most) of what could be in logic. I've put together a searchable Google doc to go along with it! I've also added a bunch of the stuff on it to the rando Wiki, though hopefully at some point we can move away from using Fandom for it.
As for events and stuff, I've been in a bunch! I'll list everything I remember here:
- Rando 4 Showcase Race (baby's first restreamed event!!!)
- HK5Y Meme day BOTE Race!!!
- Blackout TE 2022 Tourney - I teamed with Connoramon and we won!!!
- Remembering Schy's Achievements- elderbug% and lessclip TEAG. I miss you...
- All Majors 2022 Tourney - I teamed with Quatopine and we won this too!!!!
- HK6Y - I ran dupeless TEAG for main day and AGAG for meme day.
- Blackout TE 2023 Tourney - I teamed with Connoramon! We placed 3rd.
- All Majors 2023 Tourney - I teamed with Emo for this and we placed 4th!
- HK7Y - I raced AGAG with Python for meme day and did a 2v2 glitched no logic rando race for rando day!
- Grub-a-Thon - I was one of the event organizers!!! I also ran AGAG in it yippee
- Blackout TE 2024 Tournament (and the initial showcase race!) - I teamed with aPress for this and we placed second!!!
I was going to make a list of all my PBs and stuff but the list is so long...so instead let me just dump a few playlists and videos here.
Speedtober 2022: 'Annual' event that takes place in October where you run a category for each day of the month! except it is super not annual but we can pretend
Of God and Void AKA "Really Cool Medley I Made that you should listen to"
Fire's Speedrunner vs. 5 Hunters, but it's a RANDOMIZER AKA "the most fascinating spoiler format I've ever played, thank you to Fire for letting me write a 10 page master's thesis about a spoiler log AND for the good grade in rando, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,"
Also, I stream runs and rando on my Twitch!!! Yippee
Plandos and other funny modded things
- Lever adventure I played right when it came out, before I was streaming regularly on Twitch.
- Impossible any% in like early 2021
- Impossible TE up until abyss in like mid 2022. I think there was a bug where some lever in that room was inaccessible? I redid the room searching for it so many times before I gave up. I think Staxis or someone told me later that I was allowed to just noclip through the gate, but I never ended up returning to it.
- I tried anyrad for a few days. I made it to climb, but never past it. Maybe I'll give it a few attempts again at some point.
- Save the grubbies Plando!!!
- Puzzle Knight!!!
- HK7Y Plando!!!
- May's Forgotten Crossroads C-side
Other Stuff
- I did an annual any% NMG run for a while. Here's the comparison video. It's the closest I'll probably get to having done an "actual" any% NMG run. My time in 2022 was 41:37, and that ended up being my last annual run, because when October 2023 rolled around I decided that I Didn't Feel Like It™.
- That said, my verified any% NMG run is an absolute work of art. Spoilers: it doesn't get dash. It gets grubsong though! Why don't any other any% runs use this route???
- There's also my other other any% NMG run which is actually any% NMG AG but you have file extensions hidden.
- Pale court stream!!!
- whatever the fuck is going on with my grubsong nmms run
- A few blind runs: all skils AG, P5BO AG, Elegy% Random grub order AG, and Happy Couple AG.
"blossom what the fuck does this mean i don't care about any of this"
- alright fine i'll also list the team cherry imposed things i've done
- pantheon 1 through 4 all bindings
- every binding individually on p5 (so meeting weathered mask requirements). p5 AB is happening never
- radiant hall of gods i guess?
- GPZ 10, white defender 5, eternal ordeal however many zotes or whatever
- hitless pop, do people care about that? I recorded it the first time I did it. Now that I've run PoP I've done it hitless many times, though.
- none of this matters as much as rando though and by the way you should still check out my other website!!! it's cool and stuff i swear
