My most grinded and current best room time in The Messenger. I honestly was doubtful in the past if sub 20 would ever be possible as the TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) itself was barely able to achieve it.

But after coming up with the idea to keybind an extra dpad-left input to my B-button so I could use a piano grip (having my right hand hovering over the controller to press the buttons sort of like pressing keys on a piano) and relearn the room using this new grip and keybindall for the sake of hopefully saving about 1/60th of a second per turtle boost.

This over the years, has been my most grinded room in the game for sure and to actually achieve the sub 20 and be only a few frames slower than the TAS on a room this difficult is something I'm very happy with.

I'm not planning on returning to The Messenger for full runs or anything for the time being, I just really wanted to finally give this new keybind and hand grip idea a real fighting chance and was feeling pretty inspired by SortofAlpha's continued pushing of the game (who recently got Laser Climb, a previously TAS only strat) and also Kyleberry's incredible grind and time in this room.

I hope you all enjoy!
