Get out there and get Grizzco their Golden Eggs!

I used to be extremely active in the SR community, but had to take a break for several reasons. That was a little over a year ago and I'm missing SR BADDD. I used to be a consistent top 5% solo runner easy for every event. I've been seeing all the advertisements for Raiders and decided I want to start playing again. I'd really love to link with a solid teammate to twin with to get back in the swing of things. I am SO so rusty!! My very last serious game vs last game dropping in after a year. Doesn't look that bad, but I know I'm better than 18 bosses and 841 pegs with those weapons. Time to lock in

Not exactly 999 but I was very proud I came this close!

This was during the Ark Polaris rotation! I spent 9 hrs non stop playing this at night haha. I loved the previous rotation on Spawning Grounds, and I just prefer playing on S2 more.

I never reached this far, neither in S3 since my switch 1 lags so much :(

Thank you to anyone playing SR on 2! Its the only mode I play on there so I’m a frequent visitor lol

No one else ever seems to step up so I usually have to fill that role for the team. We almost lost the one I’ve attached bc when 3 more flyfish spawned in during w3 with 45s left no one bothered to even injure them so it was just nonstop missile hellfire to the bitter end.

Please do better freelancers!

Yes. I do judge you for your choice. Happy fish otherwise though!

The return of Big Big Run and the multiple battle stages turned into overfishing sites:
(Friday, June 19th, 2026, at 8:00 PM to Sunday, June 21st, 2026, at 8:00 PM)

Date of the First Lossless Run achieved:
(Saturday, June 20th, 2026, at 10:08 PM!)

I had achieved my first ever lossless run towards EVP 999 during this Big Big run!! This run was a technical lossless as I had ended up disconnecting twice in total, both times were just after the match was about to complete.

Nae!!, Lizzy!!, and StoRm!! had once again made my third EVP 999 during a Big Run possible, this time without a single loss upon reaching the finish line.

Each wave was more intense than the last as we didn’t know what we were going to be dealt. High tide scenarios while wielding slower weapons felt especially threatening. There were a couple of times where I was the last of the crew left and the final defense of this perfect run. I remember an instance where I was wielding the Grizzco slosher and suddenly everyone on my team went down by the far right side of the stage. I almost succumbed to an ink storm while retreating, just 20 hit points away from being downed.

In that very moment, I had suddenly remembered that I’ve been in this exact situation before. I thought back to the time I completed my most difficult run in Side Order with just one life and a low hack palette.

I wasn’t going to let their efforts go to waste.

I quickly regained my composure and rapidly observed my surroundings for the best solution. I waited for the whiting frames to finish after my last shot and threw a splat bomb over a steel-eel that was blocking my line of fire. The stray splat bomb had landed on-point, allowing Nae to revive the rest of the team. With our collective efforts, we had managed to save a run that was certain to end with the circumstances dealt.

On top of this grand achievement, we also achieved a new best highscore of 222 eggs in 3 waves while playing with my dedicated salmon run crew at Barnacle and Dime! We had achieved this new all-time best highscore on Sunday, June 21st, 2026, at 5:35 PM!

Our strategy for this score was to only play on Barnacle and Dime or Um’ami Ruins. I remember humorously using Booyah Bomb at sea level to have it cancelled in-sync with my crew plunging into the deep waters to reroll the stage.

(We had gotten Wahoo World chosen as the stage 5 times in a row! How unlucky!)

We also got a 200+ day only result at Barnacle and Dime!

Furthermore, our highscore had placed in the top 1% of calculated scores!

After reaching our best highscore, we did a few princess runs and successfully completed this challenge while at Hazard Level Max difficulty! I was extra careful not to put any eggs into the basket while passing them.

This was by far one of the most eventful big runs I’ve ever played since the scoring rework! I’m astonished at how much we accomplished this weekend, we truly did it all.

It had been 492 days since we first teamed up on February 14th, 2025, during the time of the 8th Eggstrawork.

Special Thanks to Jona for being a dependable fourth member to our crew during the intense climb! It was a real pleasure to overfish with you once more! You’ve come so far since we had last met on the field.

I continue to give my utmost gratitude to Nae!!, Lizzy!!, and StoRm!!, for being the most commendable and dependable team that I’ve ever had the pleasure of overfishing alongside!

Thank you very much for making it all possible!

Finally, thank you reader for your interest in this log!

I had a lot of ups and downs on this journey, but I was determined to see it to the end , even through all the demotions, and I finally did it!
