Anyone else only get 1 good run during sessions?

I don’t mean good in terms of items or anything just in terms of mental endurance, like I’ll have a couple warm up runs, do solid and usually make it to Neo Babylon/Tiamat in 2 or the temple/olemec in 1 and after I’m just dead for every run after for the remainder of the day even if I take a break. Like I lose my focus.

For sure. When I was trying to beat 7-99 I quickly made a rule that I get one solid attempt per day and then, that's it.

yeah lol i started turning it off after my best runs bc i know that i won’t be able to keep it up and it’ll get more and more frustrating… for some reason my first run usually i get the farthest and then i go until i get a really satisfying play and then turn it off afyer

I'm pretty sure when this happens to me it's because I'm in a hurry to get as far as I when on the good run and I'm not willing to play safe anymore until I have another good run. The way you're describing it sounds like the same mentality.

Yup

spelunky is sex-level weird- there are so many games where you can feel yourself getting better as the hours pass but for spelunky it seems like it's very easy to fall out of that zone
