I now have a second channel that I'll be using for raw footage of my runs, as well as anything I would like to be public without cluttering my main channel (including non-DST related stuff). Since I don't want to have uncommentated footage on this channel anymore, I'll also be using my second channel to post any speedruns I do in the future.

I completed the hardest DST challenge yet: All 10 major bosses in one run, with no damage multipliers, no innate speed multipliers, no cheese, in under 5 hours, and without getting hit a single time: https://youtu.be/S1HK6CtCO30
I'll release a commentated summary eventually when I have the time, but for now enjoy the full run as a sneak peak 😳
Important update regarding my most recent video:
A few weeks after publishing the video, Jakeyosaurus contacted me privately to discuss most of the things I said, and we were eventually able to reach an understanding about each other’s perspectives. In this video I often assumed that the harmful things he did to me and others were the result of malice, but from talking to him for an extended period of time I realized that many of these instances were the result of him genuinely not understanding the effect his actions had on others. I want to make it clear that this doesn’t absolve him of anything he did, as malicious acts are still malicious even if you didn’t do them on purpose, but Jakey reached out to me with the intent of taking accountability for what he did and we worked together to come up with a list of actions to take with the intent of making up for what happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again. For this, I do genuinely respect him, as virtually none of the other creators I mentioned in this video even acknowledged any of the things I called them out for.
Jakey and I have apologized to each other, and I would also like to apologize publicly here for the overly negative tone of the video, which was the result of attributing most of what he did to malice. While we certainly don’t agree 100% on everything, I don’t think Jakey is a terrible person like I said in the video anymore, and because he’s trying to take accountability despite having no real reason to do so I do believe he’s genuinely trying to correct his mistakes. Therefore, I won’t be making any more negative comments towards Jakey, and I don’t think anyone else should on my behalf, as the situation has been pretty much resolved. As I said in the video, I do legitimately want the community to grow from this and become a better place overall, and both Jakey and I agree that this is the best way to go about it.
The video will remain up so people have the full context of the situation, but also because the second half of the video (about the other creators like Jazzy) is still fully relevant as those creators have done nothing to take accountability for their actions or repair the damage that they caused. Otherwise, I would like to thank everyone who supported me after publishing this video, as I wasn’t really sure whether it would be conducive to any meaningful change, but I think I’m happy with the end result and I believe the community will be able to improve from all this.

I'm thinking of actually taking this channel a bit more seriously now, so for 2024 I'd like to change my content to something I have more fun doing and is more fun to watch. Which of these would you like to see the most?
The next tournament from the DST Speedrun.com community is starting tomorrow, and this time everyone's welcome to participate, as even if you don't win, we'll still be handing out consolation prizes as long as you submit a run. There's also a Duo category with a $90 prize for the fastest team.
Come check it out in our discord server, there's a total of $360 in prizes: discord.gg/KnPAjNcfR4
UPDATE: The prize pool for the Unnerfed Toadstool Speedrun Tournament has been increased by a ton, now the 1st place will get $100, 2nd place $50, and 3rd place will receive $25

I'm happy to announce that me and porkus (alongside the DST speedrun.com community discord) are now hosting the first ever DST speedrun tournament, in which the goal is to kill the original unnerfed toadstool (the one with 156500 health that Joeshmocoolstuff beat) as fast as possible, and the winner takes $50 in cash as a prize :flushed:
There's even going to be a 2nd category with another prize for the most creative run submitted. Submissions will be done via www.speedrun.com/do_not_starve_together

I am happy to announce I was finally given control over the speedrun.com leaderboards for DST, which means I can finally fix all the horrendous rules and retroactively accept runs (including unseeded) that would've otherwise never been able to make it.
If you're interested in discussing future changes to the boards like new categories (such as all bosses), or are just interested in DST speedrunning, feel free to join the new official discord for DST speedrun.com: discord.gg/HhGVQ3puyF
btw my next video will be the commentated FW speedrun I promise I'll stop procrastinating on it : (
2023 and people still believe there's such things as S tier and F tier characters in this game 💀
