Just became the 8th ever person to SS "The Difficults", one of Dustforce's hardest custom maps - a 7 minute long marathon of spikes & prisms.
Probably my greatest videogame achievement, at least in singleplayer games? Enjoy!

@EmilSutovsky Can you please never again give 3 spots through the World Cup?
2 spots is already eh, 3 is way too many for a knockout event; this was already catastrophic last time
It also devalues the tournament itself, bc now the match for 3rd place is more important than the final
@CHelleaven @girlsbian_ My favorite people are my girlfriend, a collection of friends, my close family.. I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure none of them went to that island
@MADiSciullo What is the intention behind this statement
What is its purpose
Why do you feel the need to respond to "5+0 in TT is a good timecontrol" with some sort of ego jerkoff
@dsmerdon Of the 22 players since the Grand Swiss started in 2019 that scored 7.5+ points, 20 had 6w/5b. Keymer had 5w/6b. Could easily argue that should be the first TB.
Cumulative score would also have had Blübaum win, so I'm ok with it, but avg oppo rating is just a terrible metric
@EmilSutovsky Incredible event, poor tiebreak system, but overall two deserving qualifications, so not too upset about the finish
My main feedback would be unrelated: that three spots for the World Cup is ludicrous; very obviously so, and should've been changed after the catastrophe last time
@EmilSutovsky@Elinerdon Cumulative Score on avg performs best in rewarding the player with the actual toughest tournament run IMO; and most efficiently counteracts "swiss gambits"
Avg rating is a lot of rng, punishes you for facing overperformers (Woodward!), and kills you if you're 2850 (magnus issue)
Table at the end of Round 10 with tie-breaks.
These are the final tie-breaks - won't change after tomorrow.
Those in red have no theoretical path to top 2.
The Dustforce Alliance on @wplacelive have finally finished this awesome piece using art originally made by @tashizuna (Surprise!) Thank you to tashizuna and @hitboxteam for the inspiration and thanks to everyone involved in helping (check reply tweet as this one is too long.)
@VonMicktenstein@chess24com Have you looked at the image..................
There were 3 upsets in the open section, just two of those were by women
And why would upsets make classical more alive to begin with?
Ah why would I bother arguing with a person that has already proven to lack comprehension; nvm
@anishgiri On lichess, for a long time only games that took longer than five moves were added to the DB, which made it look like everyone who got a Fool's or Scholar's mate on the board then proceeded to play a wrong move rather than mate
Maybe something similar applies here?
