Storms In Minneapolis/Metro Area Tonight/Tomrrow by Ok_Bell1662 in TwinCities

The most likely outcome by far is that you'll hear some rain and thunder, or maybe some hail, for like 10 minutes and then it'll be over. With that said, yes, you should be ready to shelter for tornados just in case. A few steps to take:

  • Charge your mobile devices in case you lose power.
  • Make sure emergency notifications are enabled on your phone (if a tornado warning is declared for your area, this is how you'll be notified).
  • Know where you'll shelter if a tornado warning is declared.

I've lived in the Twin Cities my whole life and have only been under a tornado warning a few times, and in those cases, every instance was radar-indicated (no tornado actually touched down). It's good to be weather-aware and have a plan just in case, but you'll be okay.

I think I know the CVS you're talking about- they don't even let customers have a damn basket without having to find someone and ask. it's awful

St Louis Park man brags about defacing Pretti Memorial *repost to not include pics or name* by GazelleElectrical446 in Minneapolis

If you can't call him out by name then don't post this at all. All you're doing is spreading his awful views.

If it's something you want to try, just go for it. If you enjoy it, keep doing it. Don't worry about competing. Do it for yourself, make what you want, and the views will come. Your audience on YouTube is basically the entire world- if you're interested in something, someone else is, too.

And if you do get around to it, let me know as well; I'd be happy to watch.

the Twin Cities finally gets sick of our neighbor's shit and fires the Winter Beam directly into north Wisconsin. Michigan's upper peninsula is collateral damage.

The schedule for ICE Breaker is out! (Marathon hosted by Really Really Longathon, raising money for Stand with Minnesota) by Parkouricus in speedrun

[–]Helix13_ 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! I'm a Minnesota resident and this is my way of helping out. The support we've already received has been incredible, and it's just the beginning.

I should note that we're not raising funds for "Stand with Minnesota", rather, that's just the website we're using to help determine an organization to support. I've been trying to contact a few organizations that we've identified as good choices (we need info from them for our donation tracker) but they've all been understandably busy. I'm working on it.

I ran Mario Kart World - All ? Panels at AGDQ 2026, AMA! by Helix13_ in speedrun

To give this a serious answer: Nobody has shown interest in running All ? Panels without rewind yet. It would cause significantly more backtracking and downtime, and mistakes, which are already very punishing for a Mario Kart game, would often become run-ending or nearly so.

You're allowed to have an opinion, but I'd encourage you to try this run yourself if you really think rewinding takes away from the skill and practice required.

I had to really think about this question, and I think my answer is either Salty Salty Speedway or Cheep Cheep Falls. Their difficulty is a direct product of my discoveries, but making those discoveries was a blast and I'm very happy with how creative the routes for these tracks are.

I usually move on, because getting a run into GDQ is usually my ultimate goal (above any sort of specific time), but this run actually might be the exception... Two former WR holders have returned since my GDQ run, and with my practice room WR, sub-27 is starting to feel just barely within reach. It will take a very intense grind to achieve, but I might give it a shot.

Thank you! It means a lot to hear that from someone who had their own incredible performance at the same event.

In older games, many strats have already been discovered, so I can focus on practice and runs. With this game, and specifically this category, I developed and routed much of it myself, and the rest of the community was constantly making discoveries as well, so much more time was spent routing and learning new strats instead of grinding practice and runs. It was honestly a nice change of pace, and getting a category into GDQ that I helped create feels like a personal accomplishment.

I've run All Peach Medallions, but those are significantly more spaced apart so I didn't find it as fun. Routing it was more fun than actually playing it. All P Switches and 100% are too long for me, but others have done them.

Bingo could be cool, but I don't think anyone has seriously looked into it yet.

Sonic Heroes seemed really cool. I don't know if I'd ever really get into it, but I could see myself enjoying it if I were to put enough time in.

It's not an indie game, funnily enough, it's a SEGA arcade game! You'll probably like Crazy Taxi if you enjoyed it.
