So it turns out that there's more game after the credits. What's next?

Well, that will apparently have to wait until I find some extremely well-hidden items. I got distracted for quite a while trying to find one of them, before being encouraged to try the B-sides instead, which I'd been holding off on as I have a vague idea of how much harder this game can get, but probably makes a lot more sense to focus on next as they're hidden much less obscurely than what I was looking for. (If you get tired of watching me fumble around in the Old Site, skip to around 1:45:00.)

The B-sides definitely show they mean business relatively quickly, as they start requiring you to make your movements and dashes count for more, though there's still sometimes plenty of leeway. They even call out and incorporate additional mechanics that existed the entire time, but that casual players might not have realized were possible until now, which is pretty brilliant.

I definitely started feeling like I couldn't trust my brain to tell my muscles what to do in time, and there were a few times where I failed to learn from my mistakes because I forgot about them by the time I reached the same point in the room again. So I may be approaching the limits of what my middle-aged brain is capable of, but for the time being I'm still making progress.
