UPDATE: after all of the fails and frustration, I finally did it... I got one of the worst speedruns for the level, ever! I can't believe I really went through all of the effort and pain just to be subpar. I'll keep trying though, probably with a less frustrating level/game. does anyone recommend a low-stress game that is easy to speedrun and short (or it could have short individual levels, that works too), but with a fairly large community?
I usually don't get mad at video games. especially if it's singleplayer, when I lose a bunch of progress a game, I'll just take a short break and try again. with that said, currently my hands ache from hitting the table, my face is wet with tears, yet I didn't even lose that much progress. no, I was just a 15 minute session of a 2 minute speedrun, where I continuously failed the first part of it. why am I so worked up about doing this while speedrunning, yet I wouldn't be nearly as enraged if I had been playing the same game without trying to speedrun. does anyone know why this is?
here's the link to the level for those who are curious: https://www.speedrun.com/jtoh/level/Steeple_of_Meaningless_Decisions
i know why my run got rejected already, if you were wondering.
i spent lots of time on that run, and i tried to get a better run after, but kept falling for about 2 hours, and i don't want to speedrun anymore, should i keep going or stop?
...you rejected my run and only said "press shift + f5", what is that supposed to do?
ok but actually answer the question
ToSI and many others have ladder flicking
