ZLG's Subathon 2026
This was the first major event ever put together for my stream. I wanted something that would be a fun event but hopefully not too much pressure on anyone.
During the event, my community unlocked a good amount of stuff for the stream! I played some Pokémon Labyrinth with Tamago_Bento, took a few shots (responsibly), and after the subathon, I played through the rest of the ALttP-Super Metroid randomizer, which was quite an enjoyable challenge with the right settings.
Acknowledgements
I want to thank Tamago_Bento and Elomeno_ for showing up in person for the event and assisting in preparation, snack procurement, etc.

Afterthoughts
Due to some circumstances outside of our control, there were some logistical problems. There was also a lack of preparedness on my behalf that delayed things during the event. I was too zeroed-in on getting the promo graphics correct. They're important, but other things ended up getting missed and I didn't establish a proper schedule for actual participants, so coordination suffered. That's squarely my fault.
Still, the event was largely a success and I've learned a lot from the experience. I hope that the next event that I plan lives up to at least Game B levels.
Thank you again to everyone who attended and made the event more fun! I couldn't have done it alone.
