So first, some stuff about the run:
I lost a little bit over 2 seconds by the end of 1300 (I can get a 39 on a really good run and this had a low-mid 42). Most of this was 1200, but my old site time also wasn't great because of a mistake or two earlier. Still, somehow I was able to come back and do TAS 1600, then I just finished off the gem and finally got a run that I didn't choke to 2900. All in all I probably got like ~30 1:08s and 4 1:07s if I have to guess. In particular, 6 of those got past 2600 on pace. One died to 2700, two whole runs died to 2900, one died to 3000 (really early into the grind as well, that one hurt a lot), and one died to just being a bit too slow overall and got like 1:46.0x. This is the 6th run. I honestly could not even imagine what getting a 1:45 would be like and over these last few months I lost sight of what I was aiming for completely. Runs each day were to prove to myself that in theory I could get 1:45, but I was never actually trying for 1:45 because that's clearly impossible. It was a giant mental block for me that I only overcame through countless hours of grinding and a lot of people yelling at me to do runs at the exact right time. I still can't believe I got 1:45, and honestly almost all of me still thinks that run died to old site and as such I am not hype at all. This is not a meme, it is a cry for help.
Thanks to everyone in the Celeste Classic discord, you guys are all so cool and supportive and ily all. I'm going to be honest, I don't like this game very much, and you guys are the only people who have kept me playing this for so long. Which I guess isn't really a net positive for me but I'm still happy the community is so supportive. I'm not good at the mushy stuff just insert the 7D golden copypasta or something I guess.
I don't really know what I want to do now. I don't think a 1:44 is out of my reach because so much of this run was just the giant mental hurdle of the multi month grind, but I also kinda of don't want to play the game so heck that. We'll see what I end up comitting to, or we won't because I never finish it. Pretty epic.
If you read all of this, you get a cookie! And a scolding. Don't read snek's cringe or bad things will happen to you. This is the last warning. You do not want to know what happens next time.
