stump 🔜 SpeedGaming Live

Whether you're looking for code, sysadminning, infosec, or gaming, welcome! My main speedgames are the OG Crashes and Spyros. 📺 stump.tv 💬 stump.tv/discord 🏆 speedrun.com/user/stump I go to lots of speedrun and gaming events, especially in and around DC, MD, and PA. I also really enjoy hosting 🎙️❤️

PITCH: A Metroidvania gamebook where you map things out with pencil and paper, and it’s called PENCILVANIA.

For safety reasons, I treat all baked potatoes as if they were loaded.

I found some clips I like from some of my more recent hosting and submitted to host for GDQx. And I plan on doing my AGDQ host audition this week.

Never let anyone tell you that a car is necessary to move bulky items

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

This pretty much sums up my developer experience

There is no such thing as AI art.

Not wrong, Wikipedia, not wrong

Saw a Crash 2 setup in consoles, sat down to play it a bit, and oh, am I so not used to how NTSC feels anymore.

PGX has started! Come and visit the Steel City Speedsters table if you're here. It's at the far side of the console area.

Setup begins...

The power flickered! Now I have to reset the oven timer! What time is it? ..... really? it's 12:00? .... nice?

It was, as always, a pleasant westival.

funny how right after AI “revolutionized” software development suddenly apps that very rarely crashed suddenly crash all the fucking time

Now on the host desk for magFAST at MAGWest! I'll be reading out your donations to UC Davis Children's Hospital until 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET. I'll also be running manipless Pokémon Blue any% NSC at about 8:20 PM PT! twitch.tv/magfast

Halfway to @magwestofficial.bsky.social, changing planes in the usual place... Catch me hosting for magFAST on Saturday afternoon!

[!ENCOUNTER ALERT!] Submissions to our speedrunning block are scheduled to end 8/11/26. Don't miss out on this RGB encounter! Visit oengus.fun/rgblan9 and get your run in now.

One day people will stop unironically using the intentionally ironic phrase "technically correct, the best kind of correct". A, the joke was to mock bureaucrats who believe more in technicalities than practicality. B, It's not even true. Most people will never care a tomato is botanically a fruit.

Submissions are now open for my speedrun stage at RGB LAN 9! September 11-12 (with the underlying event continuing to the 13th) in Oaks, PA. Submissions are open through August 11. oengus.fun/rgblan9

Now hosting! twitch.tv/steelcityspeedsters

As much as I wish I didn't have to miss the second half of Zeldathon, now I'm at Tekko running tech for the Steel City Speedsters stage! We're there today through Sunday raising money for Assemble Pittsburgh. Watch at twitch.tv/steelcityspeedsters, or head to Hall A if you're on site!

I'm a bit late saying this, but I'm at Zeldathon - for now, anyway, since I'm going back to Pittsburgh tomorrow to ensure everything is all ready for SCS at Tekko. I'm reading donations right now for Brandino's Wand of Gamelon segment and will be playing in tonight's Legends of the Forest Temple!

PTCG speedrunning crew represent! #sgdq #sgdq2026 @toronite.bsky.social @raagentreg.bsky.social @stump.tv

I'm ready.

It is so good to be at another GDQ.

I also passed the vicinity of the DLCC, and entirely unsurprisingly, there were a *lot* of people out and about even at 4:30 AM. (I imagine this is helped by it being the only time of day that it's not ludicrously hot out.)

That feeling when going directly past the AGDQ 2024-2026 venue on my way to the airport...

That was a nice time. Off to SGDQ in the morning!

I'm at Anthrocon. Only today and tomorrow, though, because SGDQ awaits.

Pack the court.

Multi-week closure of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel? Imagine if PATrain still existed...

I don't follow celebrity gossip so every time I hear about a celebrity being "type cast" I assume someone is fighting the compiler's type system and losing

That was a very fun weekend.

I'm at TooManyGames!

I will forever laugh at solo devs that put an AI disclosure in their game on Steam that says "look I'm a solo dev. There's no possible way for me, a solo dev, to make a game solo without AI" and it's like brother so help me do you know how many 100s of games from solo devs that don't have it???

LRT: Legit, if I see things that are not your pronouns in the pronouns field of your bio, my only first impression of you is that you are a vile monster and you will get ZERO grace from me. Cut that shit the fuck out, it is NOT funny and most importantly NOT okay in any way.

this goes for online spaces, too. if you use the pronouns field for things that clearly are not your pronouns, that immediately reflects poorly on your character and many people (including me) will judge you for it!

This has to be one of the most watched builds of scaffolding of all time.

There are ads here associated with the World Cup for the goal of stopping human trafficking. What a crock coming from the same FIFA that had the World Cup in Qatar four years ago in a stadium built by slave labor.

If it fits in well enough to escape superficial notice and you didn't do something to actively prevent the game from shipping with it, it was never a temporary asset.

On a similar note: Want a new category of something? Great. Show up with a run of that category - a run by *you*, mind you - and use that to make your case.

never, ever, make decisions for your speedrun community because people who don’t play the game “might play if xyz rules are added/leaderboard changes made/etc” because in my experience they are fucking lying

Accidentally left the "Save my information for faster checkout" box checked when I just bought something that used Link checkout. Oh, I have never deleted an account (and opted out of an arbitration agreement) so fast.

Modern kids will just never know the experience of trying to plug a SCART cable into the back of a TV that will fucking murder you if it falls over onto you while you're desperately scratching something around the back of it

If only there was another word for a shared shuttle service in 50-seat vans

I'll be the host for this!
