Sitting here in the practice room at 1:40am writing this up.
I cannot understate how important of a game that D/Generation is in regards to me and my entrance into speedrunning.
As noted in the exhibition, This game, my very first speedgame, helped with getting through some dark times. I was at my lowest point mental-state wise back in 2011/2012 when I first started to look into the DOS version of this game. Attempting to lower my own personal best time really did help with getting my mind off of everything that was going on then. I do occasionally come back to this game when things get too much in life.
I did strictly only this game from 2012-2016, where I picked up Bungie's Marathon trilogy.
Regarding what was mentioned at the end of the run: I was not told by my family if my grandfather's stage IV cancer diagnosis was deemed terminal so I'm really hoping he's able to fight this as much as he can. I'll still be at the event until it's conclusion, but I'll definitely be reaching out to relatives during the rest of the week and going to see if I can take a day off next week from work to take a day trip to see them in the hospital.
