19:14 The Final Dream
This week, I 'ave been mostly playin' They Bleed Pixels. Released in 2012, a fun (if fiendishly-difficult) precision-platformer with decent combat, it still holds up a decade later. I was looking through my library, checking achievement stuff, and realised the devs added two more levels since I last played in, uh... 2013. So I've been brushing up on my skills by going through earlier stages and cleaning out all the earlier achievements. And whilst this game has manageable par-times (listed with each level), I figured it'd be worth sharing these for those interested. Most of them will be deathless clears as they ended up faster than the speed-clears I'd picked up before, but some of these WILL have failures.
This one in particular is the reason I'm uploading ALL of these, because in spite of some stages being deathless clears, they were IMMENSELY scuffed and made me value the achievements all the more. Though it IS entertaining to see over 32 hours of game-time condensed into 45 minutes.
This video covers the fourth dream, where a baptism by fire for the book does little to quell the nightmares, as a grand conflagration gives way to crude machinery. This is followed by the finale, where the young lady makes a final stab for freedom.

[15/12/2022 EDIT: Seems Youtubes decided this stuff is popular enough that adverts need to be stapled to them. I do not monetise my videos, and have no control over adverts being placed on my videos as per Youtubes whims; I apologise to folks who are unable to circumvent these things for one reason or another. If you have a problem with this, I suggest sadness; its about all youll get when those adverts insist on playing.]
Its the Summit! The final stage before the credits, where Madeline finally climbs the whole dang mountain! In one go! Which of course means getting the Golden Strawberry should be easy! Right?
...yeah no lol this took nearly 20 hours of progression, practice and prat-falling before I finally got that wondrous toll of the bell. And I still have 7B to do! Aint that grand?
Theres now a Failures video here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WthU5qMMLI Give it a watch to remind yourself that this wasnt a one-and-done thing!
(two things to note with the video itself - I didnt use the colour corrector for this one because Im starting to realise that whilst it makes the extreme colours a bit less dull and drab, it also sorta washed out a bunch of other colours; also, this bit pertains to the video itself - at Flag #03, the framerate gets wonky, repeating a frame for two frames before hopping to the next; not unwatchable (unless youre REALLY finicky), not sure why it happened (I blame NVIDIA, of course), but just in case you think your visions gone weird? it hasnt) Celeste - 7A Golden Strawberry](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xAo1GBrpcSQ/mqdefault.jpg)
