One of my super niche pet peeves is definitely speedrun.com leaderboards that aren't well taken care of.. #Speedrunning
*Of course* I had to try out Mastodon's new 'Featured' tab right away. I think it's a really neat addition to the profile & lets you know what people are into, what they post about more frequently & which hashtags they like to use & show off. 
For now, I chose a few that I've used more often recently & some that tell you who I am. I'm sure I'll rotate them around.
#AgathaAllAlong, #PokémonGO, #AskFedi, #LinuxLog, #Speedrunning, #Bisexuality
I also really like that it includes a 'last post on' date right underneath.
This is great opportunity to tag some accounts that I now feature! 
My wife @ibreathewithher, my long-term friend @shewasquirky, & @NondescriptMidnight who is not just a friend but an artist as well.
The last two are accounts for projects I've worked on for the past few years: @boardraiders, my Tomb Raider speedrunning project & @saveandraid, the gaming event we hold once a year to raise money for a non-profit.
Since no client/app can display them yet: https://mstdn.games/@Radgryd/featured
No game dev updates today but we're working away with SGDQ on in the background.
Anyone brave enough to attempt a speed run of Astra Protocol 2?
Continued thread
Now about some more 'niche' things I tend to and software I use for it: Speedrunning and acting as a moderator/verifier for several games on https://speedrun.com.
To retime runs to the frame I use Shotcut. To download the runs from people's YouTube channels I use YouTube Downloader. Both are available for Linux & work perfectly well.
I also tried out speedrunning on Ubuntu. I managed to install OBS and recorded several sessions without issue. Then I used OpenShot to cut the footage. I also tried out Krita to create a thumbnail. Everything worked fine, it didn't take too long to get used to the last two even though I'm used to Movavi and Photoshop. I didn't actually use the thumbnail I made in Krita because it looks so much less refined than my Photoshop thumbnails! 
But it works. And everything's free.
Recorded and cut on Linux: https://youtu.be/0MPeQ-WPOfU?si=-CBDZoC8aKBJ7o8g
Enjoy the makeshift thumbnail I didn't end up uploading. 
(Now that I'm looking at it again it's not even that bad.)
If you watch #SGDQ2025, which stream do you mainly use?
If you’re a gaming nerd like me, Summer Games Done Quick 2025 is currently happening. It’s a 24/7 speedrunning marathon supporting Medecins Sans Frontiers/Doctors Without Borders. It’s a pro-diversity celebration as well. Decidedly anti-fascist.
You can watch it live here: http://twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

Summer Games Done Quick has officially begun! The first game - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Genesis - just started!
Summer Games Done Quick is an annual speedrunning marathon bringing you amazing games around the clock for 6 1/2 days (18:30 Sunday - ~05:30 Sunday CEST) while raising money for Doctors Without Borders.
Watch it live on https://twitch.tv/gamesdonequick or https://gamesdonequick.com ; or catch up on past runs on their YouTube channel!
Check the schedule if there's a game you like and give it a watch. There's great commentary so even if you generally don't enjoy speedruns it might still be interesting to you.

The European Speedrunner Assembly's summer event has gotten properly underway now, already a bunch of great - and some hilarious - runs done.
Money is being raised for Alzheimerfonden, to help fund research towards treatments, and hopefully also a cure.

Hi, #minecraft #speedrunning community. I totally need #TerrafirmaCraft speedrunning to be a thing. I want to watch it, not do it myself.
How about an easy start: speedrun a dugout canoe? (I once got stranded on a remote island with an empty inventory, which gave me that idea.)
I needed 30 minutes, you can go much faster! :-D (modpack was Gravitas 2, but only TFC is relevant at that stage).
Nächsten Monat ist schon wieder #SGDQ und ich hab mir die Woche frei genommen. Passt auch super mit einer kleinen Feier, die in diesen Zeitraum fällt.
Ich hab SO Lust, wieder stundenlang den tollen Speedruns und Races zuzuschauen. <3
OMG Summoning Salt is selling *VHS* copies of his early videos.
So, this video is rough. The game audio is missing for the first half, and there's no commentary for any of it. I didn't even have my headset on.
But it's also the new world record for Pac-Land on the PC Engine, the first run under 25-minutes, and the first one-credit clear!
Pac-Land (TG-16) 8 Trips in 24:28
