Hello everyone,

As some may have noticed (probably not), I'm training the game at the moment (5th in the leaderboard rn, and I have an unsubmitted PB that would rank 3rd but still not satisfied with it) and I submitted the Any% run to a French speedrun charity marathon (Bourg-la-Run) held between the 8th and the 10th of December.

Luckily enough, I was selected and will subsequently run Transistor at about 2:30AM UTC (3:30AM in France) EDIT : Saturday December 9th, but I'm not here to brag: an english restream of that event is supposed to happen on SpeedGaming, and they are looking for casters to comment the runs. That's why I logically post here in order to know if anyone would be interested in assuming that role for my run. Tell me if you're up to it (by DM on twitter or here) and I'll let you know what info the restream staff needs.

I also seize this opportunity to thank everyone who's been part of the community and who's participated to the speedrun one way or another: Transistor is actually the first speedrun I've ever completed, and it's all the more meaningful as this game's always been very important to me. I don't really know if there are a lot strats that could be added to the current route (Cadarev's one) but I'd love to discuss the topic if some of you are interested. Take care !

heyo Murihoro.

I was just wondering: 2:30 AM when? cuz it's hard to determine if I can make it or not without the date XD! Anyways I'm up for it if you want me, even though I'm only 4th or something on the leaderboard. I know all the tricks of the Any% run, and I'm not too bad as a caster, I was on the couch for a few runs at last ESA and I was also a host at the same event.

Just tell me when is your run so I can tell you if I can be there ^^/

I agree, the actual day you're running would be important to know as well, but seeing how it's in the middle of the night, I probably won't be able to help as I do live with a roommate whom I don't want to wake up.

Best of luck nonetheless!

My bad, I wrote this in the middle of the night and it clearly lacked precision. x)

So yeah, the run is scheduled Saturday December 9th at 3:30am in France (2:30am UTC). The full schedule is also available here : https://horaro.org/bourglarun/2017 .

Strife, that would be an honour given that I learnt the run basics through your tutorial. I didn't improve the route in any way (I think), so you're pretty much up to date, I'm sure you'll be perfect, even though I'm not really the one deciding: it's the restream staff (feasel is in charge, I think) that'll have the last word, I'm just trying to help them by asking around, but I can't see why they would refuse. Just tell me if you're available Saturday morning and I'll give you the instructions.

And thanks a lot Cadarev! I PBed last night with an amazing last segment, finishing 20s behind you. My SOB is now under 37 minutes, I'm definitely coming for your WR, hope you don't mind. :P

You'd have to remind me at some point closer to the marathon, but I'd be happy to commentate it if you end up needing me.

Onin : well, indeed I asked for one caster, but I think there won't be any problem if you and Strife end up commenting together. From my experience, it's easier to comment with someone, and then the staff will be assured to have at least one caster for the run, because Strife still hasn't confirmed he'll be available yet. If you're definitely ok, DM me the following info via Twitter or twitch (it goes for both you and Strife) :

• Username as it will be displayed on the stream (with spaces, capital letters and stuff)
• twitch channel (if you want it displayed somewhere)
• Discord username
• Concerned games (so in our case, Transistor oc)

Then I'll forward that to the staff and you will be invited to their Discord server. ^^
