I have a lot to say, but first off I'd like to give a shoutout to Exyl. He recently got 97% on Erebus on 60hz, which is absolutely incredible (keep in mind that Erebus is harder than PPF on 60hz). Go subscribe to him and show him support, he deserves it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIPVJI8lad2VsKRnaY0Jp2Q

I'd also like to clarify why there's no FPS counter. I've heard from others that the Steam FPS counter can cause input lag, so I kept it off just in case. You can tell this was done on 60hz regardless, since my trail doesn't cut at all.

Moving on to my journey with this level. As soon as school ended for me last year, I figured it was time to tackle a new hardest. After looking through the list, I decided to give Plasma Pulse Finale a try. Even though it was top ten at the time, it seemed 60hz friendly, and I'd seen Hotball make significant progress on it; besides, I had plenty of free time. I started making progress much more quickly than I'd anticipated, and managed to get 76% after just a few days of grinding. After that death, though, my motivation to play this level rapidly declined for whatever reason. For the rest of the summer, I played this on and off, unable to fully commit to it like I'd done at the beginning. Once school started up again, I had to stop playing this altogether due to a lack of free time, but I told myself I'd come back to it sometime in the future.

Recently, I decided to attempt this level on 60hz once again. My current monitor has 1ms of delay, so playing on 60hz now feels significantly easier than playing on my old 60hz laptop. Unfortunately, 60hz looks incredibly choppy on a 144hz monitor. Despite this, I decided to deal with the choppiness, since I didn't want to go back to playing on a delayed laptop. The reduction in delay made a huge difference for me. On my very first day back, I got 18-96% out of nowhere, which greatly increased my motivation to finish this off. The next day, after a death at 89% and multiple deaths at 76%, I finally managed to beat this level. Words cannot describe how happy I am to have this done. I'm immensely proud of this accomplishment, and this will most likely be my last 60hz completion. Thank you all for your support.

One last thing: I switched to up arrow for the last 5% of the level, since doing microclicks with my current mouse (G502 Hero) is difficult.
