silas of trees

i knew sub 7 was possible so i figured i'd give it a shot. execution is still not quite there - could have rerolled for an earlier fertilizer on day 2 but didn't, which wasn't really worth the electric looper. i got extremely lucky with a hot streak of teeth dropping on day 3, and that pretty much set me up for the win the rest of the way since my DPS just went wild afterwards.

turned a failed normal Greed into a pretty nice time save on a Greed Endless run - previous time was 7:15

tried out messing with the resolution and 800x600 seems to have sped up things like snake explosions. the weird part is, it seems like once you've switched the resolution to a lower one, the speed improvement is consistent for higher resolutions. unclear why this is happening - might be that changes display resolution refreshes something, so things speed up?

edit: turns out my monitor accidentally got switched up to a 144 Hz refresh rate. gonna talk with the other mods about this, but pretty sure this is just a strict "better hardware equals better speedrun" situation so we'll probably need to make a rule about how high the refresh rate is allowed to go. feel free to comment on this if you have an opinion
