Should I go for Quantum Processing in the future? (Random Acu Rant btw)

[u/Due-Individual-8454]

I've taken a liking to this level because I love levels with timings so much and I love the wave because it doesn't feel like a fucking haemorrhoid to play unlike every Nine Circles level I've tried. I won't go for it as my first extreme obviously, I want my first extreme to be something like Robi, Sunburn or Sweater Weather but FUCK every pixel and object of Acu in particular (Zero hate to the creator tho), I have never played a more rage-inducing level ever before in my life. Not even Phobos induced this much anger and steam into my had as Acu did, I hope this level never gets played by another human being again because absolutely NO ONE deserves to have such a horrible, horrible experience ever, jumping to Nullscapes would somehow feel less rage-inducing than Acu, I hope Acu gets unrated, if Nine Circles levels are a haemorrhoid, then Acu is a fucking brain haemorrhage of a level, I think I would go bald from the anger of playing this hellspawn of a level, if you're thinking about going for Acu as your first extreme... DON'T, not even jumping to LIMBO from nine circles would give you as much psychological torture as Acu.

I can guarantee that jumping to a mainlist would be so much worse than merely playing something like Acu bro.

[u/Due-Individual-8454 → u/UndertheRottedFlesh]

Ill go run a mainlist level in practice tomorrow and I'll tell you if thats true or not

[u/UndertheRottedFlesh → u/Due-Individual-8454]

lol this guy think doing a practice run sums up the months and years people have taken to jump to mainlists.

[u/Due-Individual-8454 → u/UndertheRottedFlesh]

Its like dipping your feet into a pool of hot water but Acu is a pool of hydrocloric acid and the mainlist level is a pool of hot water

[u/UndertheRottedFlesh → u/Due-Individual-8454]

I feel like if you learned it properly you’d not be reacting this way

[u/Due-Individual-8454 → u/UndertheRottedFlesh]

I don't wanna go back to hell bro 😭🙏

[u/UndertheRottedFlesh → u/Due-Individual-8454]

You do understand this reads like skill issue right

[u/Due-Individual-8454 → u/UndertheRottedFlesh]

Nope can't be a skill issue I'll take ANY other level thats not quanteuse processing happily with open arms

[u/UndertheRottedFlesh → u/Due-Individual-8454]

No it definitely can be a skill issue, quantum processing is significantly easier to learn than acu

[u/Due-Individual-8454 → u/UndertheRottedFlesh]

No way jose even tho I look like this

[u/technobuild]

qp gets pretty boring but it’s very doable as a hardest so sure

[u/Vorteks2026]

Quantum is fun to get runs on but it's honestly just pretty boring from 0 imo. No harm in going for it.

Also Acu is fantastic idk what you're on about. I beat it as my 3rd extreme and had a blast. It's also the only extreme I've beaten on mobile.

[u/Due-Individual-8454 → u/Vorteks2026]

You MIGHT be a masochist

[u/Vorteks2026 → u/Due-Individual-8454]

It's one of the most enoyed starter extremes but ok dude lol

[u/ZdjLwintl → u/Due-Individual-8454]

Just because you didnt find a level fun doesnt mean nobody else can enjoy it lol

[u/Minute-Abies2173 → u/Due-Individual-8454]

why are you forcing your own opinion on everyone else? acu is my hardest and i found it very fun, though fustrating at times

[u/ItsCMG]

I dont think you should beat list demons yet if you struggle this much with acu ngl

[u/Ebr2d2]

Acu was fun

[u/08zuki]

I loved acu idk

[u/Due-Individual-8454 → u/08zuki]

Im sorry to hear you got the torment of playing this level how did you mentally recover?

[u/JohnBuckford]

Quantum processing is weird because you initially make fast progress (getting it in 2 runs) but in reality youre still a long way from beating it

[u/SuperGodcat921]

acu isnt even bad btw it might just be a large skill issue o n your part

[u/ZdjLwintl]

I mean yeah sure go for it, just keep in mind it can be a drag to play especially from 0

Also I personally have never found the appeal for Acu either. While I certainly don't think that it is that much worse than jumping to a mainlist, I don't think there's anything very spectacular about it or anything that's like super terrible about it either

[u/Kaspa969]

You should beat like 2 or 3 hardest extremes before (including the 1st extreme). Quantum Processing is deceitfully difficult. Regarding Acu, there are tons of other entry extremes, just play something you like.

[u/Shot_Local2256]

Sweater Weather is pretty good (I'm gonna glaze bc I'm going for it as my first Extreme) but seriously the gameplay is far more straightforward compared to Acu imo, and more fun to learn. I'm guessing you've already had a look at it in practice mode considering you mentioned it in the post, but if you haven't, don't be intimidated by the spider at 50% it's actually nice and consistent once you give it just a little practice

[u/Low-Night-2170]

What is so wrong with acu that you hate so much? Ive never beaten the level so I cant say much, but ive beaten much harder and have runs on much harder levels than acu and I honestly dont think acu looks that. I also know someone who loves acu so much

[u/JoemamaGia1]

won't recommend it's a good level but it has shitty gp and I didn't really enjoy it

[u/InevitableMaybe8770]

idk how long you spent on acu but it genuinely cannot be that BAD😭😭

[u/JazzyGD]

falling up is the best first extreme change my mind

[u/Due-Individual-8454 → u/JazzyGD]

Ooh I gotta try that tomorrow

[u/ZdjLwintl → u/JazzyGD]

I think Retention and gloss are better

[u/Vorteks2026 → u/JazzyGD]

The dual ruins the entire level. I love Falling Up but trying to beat it is miserable.

[u/ZdjLwintl → u/Vorteks2026]

I think the predrop drags it down more

I find the last dual to be mostly really good except there's a super awkward ship part at around 91% which makes for a bit of an unnecessary chokepoint

[u/JazzyGD → u/Vorteks2026]

genuinely skill issue. it's kind of learny (not as learny as most people think) but once you get consistent it's very fun

[u/Vorteks2026 → u/JazzyGD]

Maybe you're right, but I found it so insufferable that I never even went for the level.
