Although not as straightforward as all of my other month long grinds (Deimos, Kenos), this one will always hold a special place in my heart. Unlike the previous two I took a lot of breaks. Becuase honestly, this one was a hell of a lot harder than the other two for me!
Maybe it doesn't seem like something like this is that hard of a challenge. And for those who think that, I encourage you to pick it up. It's much harder today than the one I started in late 2020 but I promise that it'll teach you a lot about the game and about yourself (unless you're spaceuk i guess but that guy isnt human). It'll force you to do things you don't want to do. It'll force you to face challenges you never thought you would have to face. It'll force you to stare down an insanely mentally taxing level directly after completing one that you'd describe in the same way. It is truly one of the most mentally challenging things I've done. And it made me a HELL of a lot better.
Despite all of that though, despite all of the terrible levels I got, I had so, so much fun. I don't regret any of it. I'd do it all again even if I knew what it had in store for me.
When I first started this challenge I knew I was in for a ride, and although admittedly I did think I would be done much sooner I'm not too dissapointed with myself. I didn't give up.
I hope you all enjoyed this series. I had a lot of fun streaming it. I don't know if I'll ever do another series like this, honestly. In terms of the multi month long grind next up is Return 0. I have a few more extremely long grinds in me before I get too old to continue doing them. I hope I can accomplish everything I want to accomplish in that time. I look forward to Return 0 a lot!! Even if I know it's going to take me so very long, I feel like after this I have the mental game to handle it.
Thanks to everyone who stuck with me, the good, the bad, the unbelievable to the unbelieveably boring. I don't know what I did to deserve such an awesome fanbase but I seriously love you guys. Not in a parasocial way. But I do. I know eventually we'll all part and go our separate ways but I just want you all to know that you've improved my life so much in this brief moment of the universe we have together. I hope I've improved all of yours as well.
I'll try to upload more frequently... I'm really sorry about that. Esfera should be dropping sometime before the year ends at least. I know it taking so long is kind of weird because of how long this took me, and it is, but I was also dealing with some computer issues/mouse debounce issues and I'm playing much better now so take that with a grain of salt, I guess.
And I want to do more easy fun videos as well! It's been a long time since I've just done a stream for a video. Maybe a day with Acheron or something. Or some more videos with friends. I rewatched the crab game video with some friends the other day and it's genuinely so funny. I want to make more videos like that! I just need to get over myself and allow myself to make and upload videos that aren't necessarily 90 minute blockbuster masterpieces lmao. I might as well have some fun every once and a while.
As for Zodiac itself? I don't know, I'll always have a soft spot for it. It just heavily represents a time in my life that I never want to forget. It's the last level I beat without bypass, I play on 360 now. I wanted to give it that respect. Not that I have a problem with bypass or anything lol I just, since it represents 2019 for me I wanted to beat it like it was 2019. And bypass still wasn't like SUPER big back then.
The level can get rather boring but overall I like it a decent amount. Very chokepoint heavy though. Not very fun to die over and over again to Sami or TMN or whatever especially if you're not consistent at getting there, which comes and goes. I'd still say Kenos is my hardest for me, though. With my eye problems Zodiac wasn't too bad, it was mostly at 2x speed and didn't have a lot of eye intensive parts, can't really say the same about Kenos.
I guess that's all I have to say. Thanks for reading this if you did actually read it all. Take care of yourself and have a good one. I'll see you all soon.
