This game keeps pulling me back in and I don't know how to fight it.

Another weak-ish start, this time followed by a gold heavenly with a 2-cycle cutscene-skip and seemingly no mistakes.

Followed this up with MASSIVE SNOWBIRD SKIP which ACCIDENTALLY PROVED THE SS CAN BE REACHED WITHOUT THE CAT??

This would have been a gold no matter how long i took on the rest of my first cycle but I missed one of the logos and ended up losing time to a 3 cycle. Followed this up with an average valley, below average Mt. Hood, and a pretty flawless 3 cycle Gotcha
