15 attempts later, finally cracked sub 2hr. Was rather annoyed throughout this playthrough, as the a few moments before I had just gotten a 2h00m18s PB and felt the need to run it over again. Felt very good about this run despite the absolute idiot moment at Ferenia around 57m.

One last note: please excuse the weird FPS drop from 60 to 30 around the speed booster E-tank. I've noticed some weird capture card issues with only the new Nintendo Switch OLED which I haven't seen on my PC, PS5 or the old Switch. I have seen some similar issues with other Dread recordings. Will be researching what the issue may be, but if anyone has experience something similar, please let me know your findings.
