I changed the viddump settings AGAIN so now we can have 1440p again. You're welcome.
Thank god. A breather map. Would probably be considered a challenge of a secret map in a lot of other wads, but it is actually the easiest map in this episode. It seems intimidating but its not bad at all. There are a ridiculous amount of cells in the basement. Its enough cells where you could probably kill most of that huge flood of monsters, but that would just be a death trap and kinda a waste of time. You have the option to leave, so do that and let them sort themselves out. So basically, get the BFG, leave, come back for cleanup, done. No sweat. Could probably do under 3 minutes but I'm tired, someone else can do that.
My biggest compliment is that it is a lot of fun. Which makes me happy and reassures me that I have grown a lot as a speedrunner over the last year. When I first started posting, I would've shit myself if I tried to do this saveless. I do not think I would be able to do it at all. But a year of experience on top of being all ramped up and focused from the last 2 maps, and it is now very easy for me. I hope I continue to grow so I can experience more and more of Doom. Even now I know my journey has still just began, there is still so much I see as out of my league, but 2022 ado has greatly expanded my confidence and what I would consider within my range.
It does concern me somewhat that a lot of my difficulty ratings are probably inaccurate because of how much I have improved, so a lot of what I thought was hard before I would probably rate lower now. Sometimes I try to account for that, sometimes I don't, so I think there is some inconsistency in my data, but I will just keep working with what I got and try to be fair with how it feels to me.
