Some time ago, I found out that I seem to be pretty good at one of my all-time favourite NES games, Little Nemo: The Dream Master.

Here's a messy speedrun I did on Twitch in 2018 of my best time. :)

At the time, this speedrun landed me in 9th place on the world record list, which I just couldn't even believe... I really don't consider myself to be a speedrunner, and I had no desire of aiming for 1st place, but it still felt pretty great, let me tell you!

Since then, there have been more who have become interested in speedrunning Little Nemo, so I've been knocked down to 18th place, but you know what's really cool? My time is still directly between Bitty_Kong and Demo, the two speedrunners I learned a lot of tricks from. It's such an honour to me to have been able to do well enough that my time can be seen alongside theirs.

I actually messed up quite a lot toward the end, because I got so crazy excited over getting a difficult trick right in "Purple Hell" that let me keep the lizard to the next zone with the falling spiky ceiling. This allows you to jump without having to worry about the spikes in the ceiling, because they were not programmed to detect collision with the player when riding the lizard! Playing the game the normal way, you would typically ride a frog up to that point, which is a total pain... Still, the fact I got that trick right combined with this being my best time, I'm really happy with how this came out in the end.

Hope any of you who are interested enjoy, and I also hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! If not, here's hoping it'll get much much better. Take care!

Oof... The revenge punch... I deserved that, honestly.

Yeeeaaaah, three gems in a row!

But what was the trapper doing down there in the fridge... ?

Finally got a little better at using the jackhammer... There may still be hope for me yet!

I like rendering these -w-

Oooh, I love it when games have cool little details like this. When you get flattened by a hammer trap, you can crawl under locked doors.

... I thought that chair was going to get me, by the way.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

I'm busy trying to catch up with work since spending time with out-of-town family. Very tired, but we had a really fun visit (played a lot of Wii games LOL)!

Decoupage Dandelions—a surface pattern design I created for Spoonflower's Wildflower Collage challenge, mostly with wallpaper in mind. Wasn't going to enter that one, but had an idea right before the submission deadline.
