Have you had a chance to check out the brand new SPRINTSTREAM podcast? Join Toasty_Stoat and Sothangel as they hang wth Apollosmug and discuss NES speedrunning, Home Alone, and what exactly is up with Where's Waldo, anyway? It's a good laugh, throw it on in the background while you work or grind! youtu.be/nh9gMfnbaIs?si…

Ugh it feels quiet... let's kick off some announcements tomorrow?? hehe

The funny number has surely changed a lot since my days

Monday's meeting was amazing energy and we're SO excited for what we see in the community. We're going to be cooking a LOT here and we cannot WAIT for you to come with us on this journey. ESA Forever <3

if u don't hear from me i'm getting The Fear instilled in me by the new resident evil in the vague hopes of someday speedrunning it (I won't do it because there's not a more talented runner to carry me through it)

this is the easiest we've ever seen people derust and prep their submission videos, this is gonna be a HECTIC submissions window, good lord.

Want a free mouse from our friends at Logitech? There's currently a super quick and FREEEE Bag of Dreams speedrun competition where the winner gets a Logitech X2 PRO SUPERSTRIKE, with other prizes for other entrants who don't take the top spot, check it out!! twotrickpony.games/leaderboard

Edenal confirming the rumours: ESA Summer '26 will be the biggest ESA ever.

Can't believe it was all over almost a week ago.. Over $42,000 raised for Make-A-Wish International and we couldn't possibly be more proud. Response to the event and hype for summer has been unlike anything we've seen and we CANNOT WAIT to share the next step with you ahead of the BIGGEST ESA EVER.

ESA might be over but the Bag of Dreams speedrun competition isn't! You've still got a few more weeks to give the Bag of Dreams competition a try! - download the FREE demo and see what time you can achieve!! prizes from Logitech for the winner!! ;)) Current record is a 6:05.. surely you can beat that right? ;) store.steampowered.com/app/4224580/Ba…

Didn't do a post-event total post yet because I'm sick but I wanted to tweet 'who up pumping they plums' so I need to sort it out

That's it. Another event is over. It never gets any easier but the sadness of going home is far outweighed by the warmth of knowing that soon we'll be together again. Post-event Sunday is always one of the toughest but the tear-down and lorry-packing conversations and selfies make it a little easier. ESA took so many massive steps forward in terms of energy, relationships, production and so much more and we could not be prouder and have never been prouder of the people behind the scenes who help bring ESA to us and the world, it's the closest thing we have to magic. We're so proud to support the crucial, crucial work done by Make-A-Wish International all over the world and you should be too. They are helping dreams come true for the people who need it more than anyone else and it's an absolute honor to get to support that. From the smallest donations to the largest reward claims and every bit and Twitch sub, everyone helped improve the world a little bit more out of nothing but pure kindness; We will never be able to thank this community enough. We are so grateful for every single one of the viewers, donors and runners. Everyone who pools together their time and effort to make ESA what it is and always has been; A community-driven event that is far greater than the sum of it's parts. There is truly no place like ESA. ESA Forever. The Sunday ice-cream is always the saddest.

We're almost there, it's so sad but feeling sooo grateful. Tune in for the very bitter end of ESA Winter '26 <3 twitch.tv/esamarathon
