    This was one of the most stressful things I’ve ever seen. Like I straight up was watching this like a sport’s tournament, chips and all. Great job absolutely taking down some of these big names RT!

    The fact that Von Karma shows up whenever he's boasting, when he's doing the "I've got you now!"

    Thanks for playing mons RT. As a competitve player starting to get into tournaments, it was a fun watch. Also I mained random battles for a about a year in gen 7 and held top 100 for a good few months, so I very much appreciate the difficulty of working with what you are given. I hope you play more pokemon at some point, I always love to watch.

    I entered the Noita summit just for fun and it ended up being a speed run tournament against one of the best Noita speedrunners. I obviously wasn’t going to win but I actually was very close and was in the lead until the last minute where he got an insanely fast run in before time was up.

    RT Game and Joey Pokeaim, two of my favorite RUclipsrs in the same Tour! I loved this so much, RT, you played out of your God damn mind. This was so awesome! I hope you do a Pokemon Content video with him soonish if possible. Sucks you two didn't face each other. Looking forward to the next video.
