Description:
Merry christmas!

A 1 second improvement over the previous 17m55s record by Looper.

This was the one, surprised this turned out to be it after a rather poor first half or so. At the end of map 17 an ok/decent run would be 10m00s, anything above that are seconds that are hard to recover from. Especially after map 13 I figured this run was completely dead, but then I did quite well from there on out until map 22. I knew at that point I needed to do really well for this to be a record, but at the same time it was unlikely to happen, so in some way it helped remove the pressure.

No major route changes, but I've refined some stuff since my last 30uv run. Not everything worked out as I had expected so I made some smaller changes to the route to increase consistency throughout the attempts.

It's been so long since I started running doom that for a moment I couldn't even remember why I was running the game in window mode, but it was because of frequent resetting and loading the game in fullscreen was annoying. Starting from my ultimate doom episode 3 attempts I made the switch to fullscreen as there's an ingame reset key now. This solved an issue that I was having where my game did not run smoothly if I was watching things while playing in window mode, so I would never do demo recording while watching twitch streams etc. With being able to combine those it's just so much easier to find the will to do attempts, like maybe while I watch others do their runs. So thanks to Fabian and the chocolate doom guys for this port. Also a shoutout to Vortale, this demo was recorded while watching him play runescape :)

Looper has had some far more impressive runs than what I've managed during these attempts, particularly his 13m53s time after map 25, and my best e1 (map 1-10) is 4m54s to his 4m47s. Loopers goal was sub 18 minutes, and my goal was sub 17m55s, so that explains the large time difference on map 29.

Thanks to Looper and eLim of course, I've noticed some small but nice improvements to the route that helped out a bit since 30uv1830, not to mention runs before that.
