Well then, here I am. Black Blizzard, complete. I remember seeing this level way back in 2017 when KrmaL (or Krazyman50 at the time) finally verified it and released it. Words could not describe how flabbergasted I was, both at the design and the difficulty. It looked difficult, really difficult, and at the time, it was considered that way by others as well (although, as I type this, it sits at #272 on the legacy list in pointercrate). Over time, the list changed, and so had I, so come July 2022 I started going for Black Blizzard, planning to continue on to do Killbot then maybe become the first LRR victor of Wasureta. I really did not expect what was in store for me. I consistently played and made progress throughout July and August and into September, managing to get list% in that month. Within October however, I was so utterly burnt out by BLBL that I just stopped playing it much. I still did play it and made progress but it wasn't nearly as much as I would otherwise have made. Late December, I got 77%, and was at that percent for over 9 months. I could not bring myself to play the level, at all. I was super into TF2 at the time and would spend my time playing that, touching GD maybe once or twice in a month, tops. Then, RobTop announced the 2.2 release date to be in October 2023, and I began to grind BLBL so I could beat it before 2.2 got out (since 2.2 updates physics to use 240hz physics across all refresh rates, and I wanted to beat it on LRR). In August, I didn't spend too much time on BLBL, but after that I would spend hours back-to-back grinding. On the first of October, I made my first progress in a while, a tragic 95%. Twelve days later, out of absolutely nowhere, I beat it, in a session that lasted probably about 5 minutes. I NEVER knew I'd ever come this far, and being able to say that I beat Black Blizzard is honestly, pretty surreal, even if it isn't even considered a big deal anymore. I'm satisfied, and I think this is a good place to take my stand. I won't be doing any more new hardests after this. I'm glad I could finish off 2.1 with a bang, and I'm excited to see what 2.2 has to offer. I've been playing this game since late 1.8, and all the things that this community has accomplished and made is breathtaking, and I'm happy I could contribute to it. I know nobody is reading this but, this was a fun ride. 2.2's going to be just as amazing.
btw, all the clips in the intro are from me. the earlier ones are from 2014-2020 and i still played on my ipad back then so the quality isnt great lol.
