Man, Yousef’s encouragement and engagement throughout this whole saga felt so wholesome and couldn’t be any less than a glass that’s half full. Big props to Yousef for being a key factor of keeping Nick going and advising him through the caffeine stuff. Nick couldn’t be more true that we need a Yusef in our life. Big congrats

[@guhbruhmaste4557]

Yousef was the MVP for keeping Nick sane. He was a real one for being there for bro.

he literally saved the run when Nick started going insane over the caffeine

[@psychogirl8714]

Bro... panic attacks are actually a nightmare in reality. Mad respect that you were able to play after. You are an absolute trooper and I'm glad to see you do so well.

[@everythingpizzaandknuckles6268]

Congrats dude. Seeing you make it through those caffeine super jitters and an actual panic attack reminds me of how I was able to make it though countless restless nights, trying to stay strong (with energy boosters less than coffee, cuz yea, that shit can skrew u up). As cheesy as it is, this reminded me that we all can make it through our struggles and achieve our goals.

[@Syalix]

So happy to have been a part of this bruh the overdose arc was the scariest shit but THE TC APPRECIATORS ALWAYS WIN!!!!

[@johnstevenson3628]

This video was so well made, carefully crafted, and you can see the passion put into it. This is definitely one of TCNick’s best videos all the way from the editing to the gameplay. The thing that really put it over the top for me was the creative and accurate music choices. Specifically the choice of the song “Anxiety” from Celeste during 24:10 really hit out of the park for me, especially due to me being a huge Celeste fan. Anyways, great video and keep up the awesome work!!

Nick i sure felt that when the caffeine induced panic attack happened. It happened to me once when i went with my GF to an argentinian restaurant and i tried espresso for the first time and i had an almost instant panic attack (and back then i didn't know what was going on), luckily she tried her best to calm me down and we went home. As for now i don't drink regular coffee anymore. Take care of yourself, King.

Got a few questions Nick and I hope you can answer them. 1. What kind of counter clock were you using there? Can it go past 99 hours. 2. Did your breaks count toward the total time, or did you have to pause the clock whenever you went for sleep? 3. Did you choose to start from scratch for this run or was this a requirement set by Guinness?
