A new personal best to close out the year, this speedrun includes a risky Mission 7 exit (42:30), a 21-second M13 lineup-to-saveclip (1:35:37), a solid Nest+Reactor sequence (1:42:30), and all 3/3 facehugger boosts (2:28:34). Mistakes were made: a troublesome terminal grab in M5, 2 hack misclicks, an unprecedented Joe grab in M12, getting shot by revolver guard in M16, getting my flares locked at the start of M17 until I switch hotkeyed items, and taking too long of a wash break before the M9 cutscene end (the mission of all time). If I can clean up these issues, and barring any black swan glitches and bad RNG events, a sub 2:31 run should be possible in the future.
