After 135320 attempts, and 117 streams, Kenos has finally been verified. This is my proudest accomplishment to date. We stuck through a lot of setbacks, with fails at 90, 88, and 87x2. I died at or past the 70 wave a grand total of 131 times, the first of which being 5 months ago. I've poured 300+ hours into this level, more than half of which were streamed. I could have given up so many times, but I didn't, and now I reap the rewards for doing so. I have a lot to say, so bear with me.
This was honestly, overall, a really bad experience for me personally. My awful luck, combined with community pressure, was insanely taxing on my mental health. If I didn't have such a great community I never would have beaten it.
There's so many people I want to thank, people that found me through Kenos, people that grow close because of my streams, people who pushed me on and gave me motivation and cared about my well-being. They are the true heroes of this story. The people I met along this journey, and the community I've strengthened because of it, almost make it all worth it. In no particular order, I'll list some of the people who made this possible. Sorry if I forget anyone.
Huge thanks to Tech, Gizbro, Golden, Croanix, Steven, Artsi, Jollow, Mythical, Doaka, Airsoos, Knobbelboy, Viprin, Gabs, KaveKitty, Bianox, Astral, Indigo, and Luigi for being so awesome and helping me through this all.
There's a few people I want to thank individually.
Croanix. You're honestly such a good friend, you told me what I needed to hear and when. You've always supported me through this and I'll never be able to thank you enough. Thanks for almost always being there, and for shafting your sleep schedule so often to hang out with me :)
Steven. I respect you more than almost anyone else I know. The fact that you're able to play a level so long, on 60hz, astounds me. You're a great friend, too, we've had so many good times together. You're amazing at so many different games, too. Your future is really bright man. Look forward to seeing where you go.
Artsi. Never, NEVER, have I met a man more dedicated to watching me crash into a bunch of spikes for 2 hours at a time. I know you doubt yourself a lot, but I wanted to let you know that you're really awesome, and you've got a lot of potential to do so many things. Whatever you do next, I'll be there.
Tech, Golden, Gizbro. I honestly wonder how many hours you've had to sit through of me griping about kenos, and the stealing situation, and just the experience in general. Thank you for sitting with me and helping me through all those things. I would get more in depth, but I think you know exactly what I would say. I love you guys. Thanks for everything you've done for me.
The ID of Kenos, if you want to try it yourself, is 58673581.

And, because I know I'll be asked, I think this could place at 2 or 3. It's not a big deal to me if it's harder or easier than that, although I would like it to be harder than bloodlust.
