The Elliott% speedrun has ended on Winter 3 of year 1 at 27:49 real time. My spite is not satisfied, I think I can do it even faster. I'm pretty sure what killed it was that instead of squids, I bought a cheap lobster from the traveling merchant and raised them in my fish pond. I picked the beach farm, managed to get my fish pond in the second week of spring, leveled up fishing and picked the trapper achievement that makes crab pots cheaper for more access to lobsters, but the Lobster Route really didn't pan out due to bad RNG and the fish pond taking way too long to level up to a point where I could fish them out, but if I'd reset the morning of the traveling merchant until she had a squid I could have probably sped it up.

If I wanted to, because I'm doing it on Switch and it hasn't gotten a patch yet, I could just gift him a bunch of random items and rack up the relationship points rapidly, but exploiting a bug to do it feels a little disingenuous (it might be funny though).

This meme basically sums up why I'm doing this speedrun btw
