WELCOME TO 800x600
'The Way We Were'
Take a seat, grab a coffee, put your feet up and immerse yourself in the world of 4:3 in this, my cosy corner of the internet. I hope you like speedrunning, or reading about speedrunning, because I'll mostly be going on about speedrunning. If not, you're still more than welcome to poke around and maybe learn a thing or two. <3

The Guestbook Is Open
05-Sep-2024
A website that looks like this is nothing without a
Guestbook. And so taking the place of the generically bland 'Button Six' label, and forcing me to figure out how I want to style my links, is the
Guestbook button. So go and sign it like it's 1999!
This has made me think that a bbs would also suit the feel of my site. That said, an empty bulletin board is worse than no bulletin board at all - as my old grandmother used to say - so maybe this isn't the time.
The site remains firmly under construction.

First post!
04-Sep-2024
A lot of what I post about will be speedrunning. I have, of late, been poking about with games from my childhood with an eye to speedrunning them. Retro speedruns are particularly special, because coming back to an old game with a new approach gives more life to these forgotten treasures.
'Doctor Who and The Mines of Terror' for the BBC Micro has been the oldest one that I released into the wild. I might make a dedicated page about that, because the final Any% run ended up not using a bunch of speedtech that I found, but it might be good for a 100% run.
Currently 'Mad Professor Mariarti' from 1990 is in my sights, but I intend to work on a long-form video about that later, so I'll keep that one close to my chest.
Yes, it's all still a work in progress - under construction, etc.
Keep coming back as I sporadically update.
