127 lines was a huge mental barrier for me. I'm so glad to have finally broken through. (wall of text ahead)

If you watched that game, you'll probably remember how it was a huge choke, and also only 9 lines behind the WR at the time (136 by Joseph, hey look this ties it). Since then, every single time I've come close to it (and I have, a lot), I've choked the run. With tapping alone, I got past 100 at least ten times, 110 at least six or seven, and 120 twice. Each time, the run ended with me missing something easy, or making a bad placement and getting screwed by the RNG.
With rolling, this mental block became even more apparent when I got 124. That was the most soul-crushing thing ever, because even though I beat my roll PB by 22 (at the time), overall PB was literally free. Afterwards, there was a point I was getting 100+ lines on 29 nearly every day, I just couldn't pull myself together for the final 20.
Then, on this fateful day, I was getting used to a new technique for making rolling easier, taping a piece of paper to the back of my controller in order to reduce friction. Before this game, I'd gotten 102 and 126 lines back to back. And believe me, that last one was pretty painful.
But after taking a small break, I had another good game, and finally broke through.
Played on 9/8/2021.

If anything, it's pretty crazy how far the game has come in just nine months.
