I'm a full-time streamer primarily focused on speedrunning SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (2003). I began my streaming career speedrunning BfBB in April 2016 with the goal of growing a passionate community surrounding a game I believed was fascinating and underappreciated. I occasionally stream other games and attempt other challenges/ventures, but BfBB tends to be my primary focus. From what was initially just a few people pushing the game forward, BfBB has had many contributors over the years having helped it reach its current form. If you're interested in learning how it reached this point, I recommend watching the [speedrun history series](https://youtu.be/djkC8vLJ6Vw). As speedrunning requires concentration, I will miss messages and notifications while playing, though I try to acknowledge things as soon as I'm unoccupied. Just know that I appreciate your support and questions about what I'm up to are always encouraged. You may also know me from my 80-day sub-a-thon in 2022. This was a fun culmination of our community's memes and variety interests over my many years of streaming, and if you missed it, you can watch all 1,900+ hours [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWezsNrdCeRTh57hLOiq25RA91FFZRHpM).

Q: When do you stream? --- A: Evenings and degenerate hours every day. Follow me and enable notifications to know when I'm live! Q: Do you stream other games? --- A: Sometimes. Catch the highlights [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDzuZShnnVbbgiYIlPNCmCh0zccwxrQHa). Q: How may I most effectively contact you? --- A: Message me on [Discord](https://discord.gg/shift). For business only, inquiries go to shiftspeedruns@gmail.com Q: How did you get into speedrunning? --- A: Watching old speedrun videos of BfBB encouraged me to try learning some tricks on my own. Eventually, I learned enough tricks to decide I should try beating the game as quickly as possible. I taught myself how to speedrun BfBB through watching Coel's 1:09:29 and testing my own setups for the tricks I observed. However, there are many [resources](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDzuZShnnVbaziKoF8gNDUpkFBsCSQypO) in the modern age which I recommend using if you plan on speedrunning this yourself! Q: How can I learn to speedrun BfBB? --- A: By watching [this tutorial video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEyu4KrlrGo). It'll explain everything you can possibly imagine needing to know as a beginner or intermediate player (up to date 2023). Q: How many hours do you think you've spent speedrunning/practicing BfBB? --- A: [A lot](https://twitchtracker.com/shift/games/9683) Q: Have you ever played the SpongeBob Movie game? --- A: In 2022 I completed a playthrough of the movie game without receiving any damage, dying, or failing a single challenge. This was part of my 80-day sub-a-thon which you can rewatch [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWezsNrdCeRTh57hLOiq25RA91FFZRHpM). Q: Will you ever speedrun [insert game name]? --- A: I don't take requests but if there's a new SpongeBob game releasing I'll probably run it for a bit because my fans enjoy it. Q: Will you ever do another sub-a-thon? --- A: If my audience is up for it and I have an idea for a theme I'm passionate about, yes!
