Last week, tntfalle and mikachelya announced a small contest, where competitors had 7 days to TAS Mika's short new map "The Mines," solo or in teams, without sharing strats or times. After submissions closed, tnt chose me to host this results showcase stream.
Doesn't have correct reflections or any HDR, or even good detailing, but I'm proud of it. So there. It uses no custom content, so I had to make do with props and textures from TF2 and HL2.

Download the map (requires Team Fortress 2):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3tres60solja1vt/iji_sector1.bsp
When you load the map, open the console and type mp_waitingforplayers_cancel 1, phys_timescale 1, and cl_drawhud 0. If you don't know how to do that, don't download the map.

This original song was made for Cabob's Expert map "Psychokinetic" in the Strawberry Jam mod for Celeste.
The request was for "a nice psytrance beat," fitting a "cyber mushroom forest" aesthetic. Despite having never made psytrance before, I think I succeeded? Fun facts: this song unironically uses Delay Lama, and the guitar melody at the end was originally written for Cyberstrider Madeline by Circl3s which is why the instrument and bass progression are the same as in that song. I finished this in August 2021. Also shoutout to the funny melody that got cut

Welcome to my dubstep EP, have some electronic rock for some reason! Eustress is psychological stress that is beneficial and empowering, which given that this song is inspired by the game Celeste, I felt was fitting. Little bit of trivia, this song was made in the same project file as Boilerplate.

More trash plays and painfully loud dubstep! This time with color grading and better editing (no higher skill plays though).

Two years of saving captures, two straight weeks of editing (in January), a half-decent SFM, and many, many technical issues* later... it's finally here. Hope y'all enjoy, and hopefully you find this subset of a friend group that somehow stuck somewhat together after high school to be almost entertaining sometimes. Also yes, you can hear other people in the VC sometimes, but they don't get text colors cause they don't play a 2007 video game

(Also the 1440p is actually upscaled 1080p, for extra bitrate)
*Mic not capturing, mic being narrowband or quiet, loud PC audio (so Discord) being very distorted, panned PC audio, levels just being generally all over the place, very stretched footage, clips being "taken" too soon, OBS not opening (once I switched from Game Bar), bitrate accidentally being left low, Premiere not supporting Unicode text, SFM in general (and camera animation is hard okay, don't judge), probably other stuff I'm forgetting

Wasn't happy with the late game of my previous PB (or the fact that I accidentally recorded it at 30 FPS lol). Also, did my first ever dream hyper in a run at 36:58
