Hey y'all, in case you missed it, here's the link to the AGDQ 2026 speedrun performed by Ashley93oBTW. They did a GREAT job in showcasing all the busted glitches possible in Stellar Blade's Any% category, coming in under the 1h50m estimate. I flew here with the express purpose of doing commentary for him and it was a blast! (although I was secretly a nervous wreck)

Also, in my last stream before flying out, I got a sweet new PB in the polar opposite category, clocking in at just under 3h40m. You can check it out here:

Stay tuned for a post-mortem/recap stream of my first physical GDQ experience. And again, thank you SO much to you guys for donating, covering my expenses to be able to make it out to the event ❤️ Chat soon!

I'm a LITTLE late, but belated happy new year to anyone who wasn't in my NYE stream~

Last night we REACHED OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL OF $250! Thanks to everyone who donated; you guys have covered my expenses to fly to AGDQ which I'm unbelievably grateful for. I'll be vlogging as much as I can!

IN CASE you missed it: I'm gonna be on the couch commentating for Ashley93oBTW's speedrun of Stellar Blade on January 9th @ 5AM EST. It'll be a NG+ Any% run; very fast and very busted with an estimate under 1h50m. Schedule is here in case the time slot changes:

Hey friends! I'm gonna be at AGDQ 2026. Here's some announcements:

1) On January 9th, I'll be on the couch doing commentary for Ashley93oBTW running Stellar Blade Any%. Check out the AGDQ schedule for updated times, but it's currently set for about 5AM Eastern time. That would be 11AM in the UK and 7PM in South Korea.

gamesdonequick.com/schedule/62

2) We achieved our hitless run of the main boss gauntlet on Normal/Minimum! (VOD: youtube.com/live/N_TZfN6T-jg?feature=share) So, NEXT is gonna be Hard/Minimum. I'll work on this new goal in parallel to doing full game NG Normal hitless attempts.

3) 🗓 Stream schedule through the end of the year:

📅 Dec. 23 (Tuesday): Clair Obscur first playthrough, finishing Act 2

🎄Dec. 24 (Wednesday): Christmas EVE, Stellar Blade casual playthrough with cutscenes; holiday vibes!

📅 Dec. 26 (Friday): Clair Obscur, side content before Act 3

📅 Dec. 30 (Tuesday): Stream ends when we beat Clair Obscur

🎇 Dec. 31 (Wednesday): New Year's EVE, working on Hard/Minimum boss challenge; we wanna get a deathless run first before worrying about hitless 😆

4) In JANUARY: After I get back from AGDQ, we'll be jumping into Wuchang then Ninja Gaiden 4, so stay tuned for all THAT. Chat soon!

Congrats to Clair Obscur on winning some stuff and things! Shift Up shared this image of EVE hoisting a trophy for them. I'm happy to see greatness recognizing greatness. Speaking of which, we just started our first playthrough of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 here on the channel. The complete Act 1 stream is timestamped here: youtube.com/live/ykwKLhKWdXc?feature=share

📝 Stream update and plans through February:

1) As always, we are playing Stellar Blade as we work on achieving our short-term goal of a full game hitless playthrough on NG Normal. To complement the hitless streams, I have my offline series you can check out for more bite-sized content akin to listening to a short podcast. Latest episode: https://youtu.be/xtONy9IXbgM

1.5) For Christmas, I'll be doing a fun casual playthrough of Stellar Blade with all the winter stuff from last December's free update. We'll do every big side quest and the true ending!

2a) I'm playing through Clair Obscur, with aspirations to finish it by the end of January. Act 1 took one marathon stream, but Act 2 will be like 3-4 streams.

2b) THEN, once we beat it, I plan to buy 1 month of PC Game Pass so we can play through Wuchang: Fallen Feathers & Ninja Gaiden 4.

~3) We should beat both of those games before Resident Evil 9 releases at the end of February. For RE9, as it's a new entry in my favorite franchise ever, I'm super eager to share my blind playthrough with you! I look forward to chatting with y'all soon, and happy holidays everybody 🙏

Hi friends, it's been a minute! I thought I'd make a short mental health awareness post to remind y'all to check on your friends, shoot them a message and see how they're doing.

Why? Well, I've been a disaster (this is not hyperbole) for the better part of the last 2 months since my injury. After healing, I had trouble bouncing back to my normal life and energy levels, so it might sound silly but I've essentially been too depressed to stream; it is cathartic typing this out though. Anywho, my favorite baseball team has been winning which has my spirits in a better spot, and some good things are happening!


GOOD THINGS LIST:
1) We got NEW camp songs in Stellar Blade, and some new bulletin board quests (out now for PS5, coming Sept. 30th for PC). I will be waiting for the PC update to do these, and we will be streaming all of it next Tuesday.

2) Silent Hill f officially releases today, and I'm gonna stream in a matter of HOURS! If you like my style of commentary OR are on the fence about picking up the game, I hope to see you around~ I'm guessing it'll be about 4 streams long

3) We randomly got a Yakuza 3 Remake announced which I'm super hyped about. If you've been *interested* in the Yakuza franchise, I'd encourage you to play through 0 then Kiwami 1 and 2 (these games go on sale consistently, at least on Steam). Then you'll be all set to play Kiwami 3 next February!


That's it! Thank you if you read all of that, I miss you guys and appreciate your sticking with me this long, sincerely. And to everyone reaching out to check on me, and the nice comments I've gotten on random videos despite being stagnant, your words really helped! Cheers

Hey friends, a few of you have asked about my Steam review, which I wrote immediately after our big marathon stream for the PC launch. Here's a link if you wanted to check it out: steamcommunity.com/id/halfwaytillbliss/recommended…

🎁 Also, we're running a small giveaway for the next 10 days, just for Nikke players! We have at least (2) CD-KEY codes for a Scarlet costume in Nikke. Just join our Discord and take a look at the giveaway-6 text channel. Participating is super simple and I'd love to get these codes to people who would appreciate them since they expire towards the end of the year.

🎸 Guitar Hero controller challenge run coming later this week, chat soon! Cheers

Hey friends, for our new subscribers especially PC players, I made a guide a long time ago for all of the butterflies, cats, fish and Stellar Tears with individual timestamps in the pinned comment. Hope it helps someone and stay tuned for a new challenge run later today! ^^ Cheers

Hey friends, we are gonna continue streaming a BUNCH of Stellar Blade in the upcoming months. But we gotta mix it up sometimes!

Which side game would you prefer seeing next on stream?

BTW, timestamps are all done for the 100% Steam achievements marathon stream! Thank you kindly for hanging out and making the launch so memorable 🙏
