So I've made up my mind, I'm not putting it off any longer. From now until I get it, any time I have available for Touhou will be put into going for my first Lunatic 1cc.
Today's session was a huge confidence boost. According to my player data, I have made it to Stage 5 on a credit only once before, on 4/4/17. Today, after the usual run of annoying Stage 1 deaths, the first credit I had that got through stage 1 made it all the way to Kanako. That included a few deaths that were just due to nerves from getting so far, or disappointment at one mistake leading to others. The final death was very disappointing; I twitched into a laser on Medoteko when I was already safe. Now that I've got that score in the bag, I can be calmer next time. I can actually do this.
