Speedrunning: An Emotional Odyssey

The First Step is a weekly show brought to you by GDQ Hotfix and regular hosts JHobz and Keizaron. Speedrunning can be intimidating to get started with, but it doesn't have to be! Learn just how easy it can be by utilizing semi-blind races -- races of games you've played before, but never tried to speedrun -- and (hopefully) find a few laughs along the way. Tune in live on Thursdays at 7pm Eastern at twitch.tv/gamesdonequick to race alongside the hosts! This edition of The First Step aired on November 16th, 2023
Today's game: Super Mario Odyssey

Could you please add the show name in the title again? :/ The new title format makes it hard to tell which hotfix show this is. even just TFS would be helpful. I often can't see the title in the thumbnail because of how YT shows a bit of a preview.

As an Odyssey Runner myself this is gonna be a hella fun watch

I think a fun way to switch this one up since hobz has some experience from before, if he started from the beginning while kiez started from the couple worlds in that he had on his practice save. That way hobz had to catch up then get ahead and as we see in this video he probably wouldn’t have had that hard a time

I think it's only fair that next week they dig up some game that Keiz used to run like 5 years ago just to balance things out lol
