Hello, I'm
Zloy_Yarik, and this is my first message in any kind of forums. Because of that, I'd like to share some of my story.
First of all, when I was about 14 years old, I was (somehow) interested in speedrunning, but mostly level speedrunning instead of completing the whole game as fast as possible. Specifically, I was playing Inertial Drift. You can still see those records on speedrun com.
But other than Inertial Drift, I was also playing Re-Volt. Just like Inertial Drift, I was completing certain levels as quick as possible rather than going for a full playthrough. At one point I decided to join discord servers such as Re-Volt Speedrunning (which I think no longer exists) to see if I'm missing something. But that server was dead. No recent messages whatsoever.
And then I stopped speedrunning. I lost interest in it, and thought that I will never be confident enough to actually race with someone... until one day rodik contacted me.
They figured that I was only in speedrunning server and told me that there are a lot more. And just like that, I was introduced in RVGL community. When I had free time, I was able to join the lobby and race with the community for the first time. And then I managed to win once! That was the best day of my life.
Also, when I was at the official Re-Volt discord server, I figured that I should stay quiet until I grow up. However, there were some moments where I sometimes sent unnecessary messages and making things awkward (sorry about that).
When I was 15 (almost 16) years old, on 28th of January 2024 there was an announcement that said that they're "
in dire need of new hosts". That message got me thinking: "This is my chance to help the community". And then I contacted MightyCucumber in order to become an
Official Host. However, by the time I'm writing this reply, I've lost my interest in hosting and currently I'm moving on with my life (specifically college). Despite that, I still manage to get some free time and hang out with the community.
Cheers,
Zloy_Yarik, (possibly) the only Re-Volter from Pridnestrovie
