I really don't know why this became such a difficult mental experience towards the end. I was expecting that to become an issue after my 38-89% fluke, but it was really only towards the end of my time playing this that I really was feeling bad about Deimos. I think it was the fact that I was somehow completely incapable of doing the last dual from anywhere meaningful in the level, and the thought of still having to do it from 0 was weighing on me. Based on the fact that I died there 5 times in the end, I'd say my fears were well warranted. I'm just glad I got it done even with 2 deaths there in the same day.

Despite my mental struggles, Deimos is such an awesome level. Something about it feels so perfectly crafted to fit the music and match the intensity that you would want from a level like it. The gameplay is all a lot of fun, too, despite its difficulty. It's the sort of gameplay that feels very skill based and similar to the sort of thing that I've been able to accel at for so long. My favorite parts include basically the entire second drop (with one exception that I'll get to later) and the very start of the first drop. Everything outside of these was also a good bit of fun at the very least. Unfortunately, there are always some major problems that arise during your playtime.

For one, a couple of parts I just found to be downright horrible to play. Most notably, Juhou was an awful chokepoint all the way up to the completion day. I would have sessions passing it very often, but it still felt so difficult and every attempt past it was extremely meaningful. The part itself is fine, just way too difficult. Then, Lieb's part may be my least favorite in the entire level due to the sheer awkwardness of how it plays. I'm serious when I say not one click in this part felt controllable and I can't really explain why. I just got really tense every time I got here and passing it felt almost as meaningful as passing Juhou sometimes.

I would talk about my thoughts on most of the other parts, but I'm afraid I'd pass the description limit, so I'll save them for later. Despite how much I still enjoyed this, I am very happy to move on from it. It feels pretty cool to have beaten my #1 and #3 hardests this year :)
