Gold NSC is honestly a pretty fun category. Initially I learned it just because I wanted to have a short category to run, but I ended up taking it more seriously than I initially intended. Learned all the encounter manips and then ended up learning Toto manip as well over the past few days, and brought it all together during this run!

Highlights:
- Not getting confused a single time (Hiker Daniel god item)
- Only 2 extra encounters the whole run
- Box naming practice paid off

Lowlights:
- Failed R29 encounter manip once
- One of the extra encounters was in Well
- Slow Bugsy fight
- Sloppy menuing, *especially* in the last few minutes

I'm happy encounter with this run for now. Maybe I'll push for a 40:xx at some point, but that point will not be right now. I'll try Gold Any%, and then maybe I'll try Glitchless if I feel like it? I've already learned most of the manips so that's a possibility now I guess lol
