I'm not gonna mention this during my run on Wednesday, but this GDQ might be my final GDQ I run in. I don't really see it happening again, at least for a while. I don't wanna make it a big deal, but GDQ has been very special to me for a long time. I've had a run in every GDQ since 2018, except for three, and two of those I intentionally didn't submit to. I've been monumentally lucky to get in as much as I have, and many people tell me that GDQ isn't GDQ without a weird fucked up Lizstar run, and I appreciate all the love, but I've been semi-retired now for like... a year or so. I kinda don't have the same passion for speedrunning.
I've been submitting less and less, and this year I only submitted two things. Next year I expect I'll only submit the one thing I didn't get in this time. I didn't expect Dharma Doujo to get in, but I REALLY don't expect Tall: Twins Tower to get in, so this may be the last time you see me on the stage, unless people want me to be on their couch (which I will always say yes to btw)
And I will of course still COME to GDQs. I expect to still volunteer and hang out, and play weird fucked up shit. I'm just semi-retired now. But thanks to everyone for stickin' with me for the past... fuck, five years.
I hope you all enjoy my run <3 I really hope I don't mess it up or this post will become comical.
