Run starts at 0:28, dunno why it won't embed the timestamp. Run ends at 1:10:10. Retimed to 1:09:41.000 lol
9 Months, 9 Days. 1:10 is dead.
After all the pain. After all the good runs lost in mid-late game. After all the garbage this game threw at me. After all the (admittedly funny) jokes about me being incapable of 1:09, I finally did it. It took 8.5 hours straight of grinding today but it was so worth it. This could have been a 1:09:1x but I lost a bunch to moon skip but I don't care. I will probably go for 1:08, but I am super happy to have finally broken the barrier.
Some may say this run is bad, and they would be correct, but do I fucking care? No. I don't care if this isn't even close to being considered good, this was a personal goal of mine for probably over 2 years. And I thought it to be achievable for almost a year now. Ever since my 1:17. I ran this game on and off since January of 2018, only taking breaks due to how downright frustrating this game is. But I'm glad I decided to come back today. This is probably my most emotional reaction ever, even more emotional than when I got a fucking WR. That just shows how much this fucking kid's game has put me through.
Here's one achievement for the Autumn of SpeedNintendo, and it may not be the last.
