Note to Self: No More Sunday Streams Edition

(Oww…)

Hey guys, how’s it goin?

I’m just coming off of a Sunday stream that everyone watching live could only see half of. #PoopNet is at its strongest on Sundays and I should have known better than to subject myself to it at its highest levels. I’m also learning this lesson in the fact that I have a long video to render of a Marathon run.

(Ah, my hand…)

Speaking of, I have grossly underestimated the degree of difficulty on the 999k max score Marathon/Garbage runs. Every Scroll Off run is going to take over an hour and require me to be constantly on to do well. I’m not sure it is the type of run even experienced Puzzle League players should experience. It’s one thing to make dozens of double-digit chains. It’s one thing to deal with the maximum stack scrolling level for basically half the run. It’s another thing entirely to do both of those things for an extended period of time without stopping. There’s a reason I limit my weekday streams to two hours, even though I could squeeze in three.

Hours of high level Puzzle League games kill your hands. (Ow.)

Even after two hours of speedruns with some downtime in between, my hands will cramp up a little bit. These long Marathon runs have no real downtime whatsoever. Considering how I will probably fail once or twice along the way, I will find myself spending two hours just to complete one run—with much less downtime. My hands will be YELLING at me SO LOUD after ONE of these runs… and I’m basically embarking to finish TWELVE of them?! The hell am I doing with my life?

In better news, I was also able to make more progress in Rhino Rumble this week. It’s amazing that, every week, I’ve been able to improve the time twice. I expect that to slow down tremendously from here on out. I’ve still got deaths to cut out of the run, but I can’t seem to go through a single run without dying multiple times because hitboxes are very large and very BS in this game. I expect to continue working on this once a week in the coming weeks.

(Ahh… note to self: no more streaming on Sundays. Ouch.)

That’s my life story for the week. Until next time, everyone, thanks for reading!
