Ended up managing to catch the December 21st premiere on Tankmas ADVENTure 2024, and went and recorded it:

If you're wondering what the animation was, it was FulpWare, from 2022 - gotta say, it was damn good:

Well, damn, managed to earn myself a full year of Supporter.

If you're wondering why, Tom Fulp gave me it after I reported a broken game, and noted I had found a functioning version on Flashpoint.

Talk about a Christmas gift.

Its officially happened, everyone - I just hit Supreme Commander.

2,071 blams, 27,955 saves, and #335 in Global Rank puts me in a pretty exclusive club.

I'm not 100% sure if I'm the quickest to ever reach that milestone, but considering I only came here about two years ago, chances are I'm in the top ten quickest.

I didn't really have anything planned for this particular feat - I didn't really expect to hit it that quickly. Ah, well, might as well keep going - the Portal's always gonna need someone keeping it clean, and I'm clearly the right guy for the job.

Happy holidays, everyone - may 2025 be better than this year.

Just hit Level 26, putting me at #6,260 in Exp Rank.

This is also gonna be my last level-up for the year.

(EDIT: Initially said I hit Level 28 - corrected that now.)

Just hit Commander, with 1,818 blams and 23,688 saves, putting me at #398 in Global Rank.

Just one more rank, and I'll be at Supreme. If I keep up this kinda pace, I'll reach it sometime in December.

Just hit General, with 1,715 blams and 21,798 saves, putting me at #426 in Global Rank.

Seems I'm still on track to hit Supreme before the year ends:

Didn't realise it until now, but I just hit Level 25.

As of this writing, I'm #7,041 in Exp Rank.

I'm back home. I'm finally back home.

Took a bit longer than I expected, thanks to Mum forgetting her phone charger back at the hotel, and she had some choice words/insults for me, but I'm finally, finally back home.

Not entirely sure what the future holds for me, but the month-long Scotland trip Mum's been eyeing post-retirement is definitely not on the cards.

If you need me, I'll probably be going through some unjudged movies - sure, I may have zero missed XP deposits, but I've got blams and saves to get. Should still be on track to hit Supreme by year's end, if NG Log's any indication.

Good news, everyone - I'm going home tomorrow. My Mum's ability to drag this holiday on has run out.

Also made it to Kirkconnel Hall, which is pretty good, and avoided getting soaked by the weather. Looks like this whole excursion is gonna end on a high note.

Probably not gonna go on another road trip like this again, but that's for future me to decide.

I'm pretty much set to make it home without a single lost deposit, but I've got wi-fi here, so I can get a deposit in next morning just in case the homecoming trip ends up taking two days.

Enjoy the Dreamcast Collab, and I'll see y'all tomorrow.

Ended up having a repeat of Day 1 / Day 2 - Mum got lost and faffed about due to general incompetence, I got yelled at because of her general short-temperedness, and we both got rained on due to generally crappy weather.

On the bright side, I got some good food at The View (plus some delicious Magners' Dark Fruit) and got a bed at Carnbarn (Cairnbarn?) (both in Oban).

Depending on circumstances, I'm going home either tomorrow or Wednesday. Once I get my deposit in tomorrow, I should be set to finish this trip without losing a single point of EXP to a missed deposit.
