Completed for a dragonned gambit: golden Kilauea in under 40 hours.
This is technically my hardest (or 2nd hardest?) golden, which really doesn't feel like it. That said, this map is REALLY REALLY dense. It's also pretty damn janky, which was a major issue when first starting out this grind. I originally only had dragonned's strats to work off of, which were good, but multiple choke points and inconsistent rooms were still present. Probably for the first time ever, I labbed and found a ton of new strats that eliminated a large amount of the jank from this map. These new strats probably drop the golden down a tier, but it's definitely much more enjoyable. Despite my subpar luck, I think low T14 is a good placement for this map. I can't really compare this to anything I currently have, as my top hardest goldens are both anomalies when it comes to the grinding time. This is probably the most normal golden experience I've had of this difficulty (I did take a month long break at some point but my muscle memory largely persisted). I'd recommend this to people who enjoy higher density goldens, or ones that rely a lot on muscle memory.
Not sure what to do next, probably some one-off goldens and a lot of mapping (might stream this). Still have classes so I'm not super free yet, but I'll definitely be streaming often during the summer. I do have quite large plans for the year though, so watch out for that.
