am i doing it right

After getting the game down on normal, I jumped straight to extra hard and managed to get to the end on my first try. All those Jade Vines are ones I grabbed doing a fool + world + ascendant surge combo, with nothing to spend them on but rerolls now! I also banked a ton of strong weapons and money but that's mixed in with a bunch of other stuff I got from a few runs back so it hardly counts for showing off this specific win I think. Also just as an extra brag, I didn't get any bonus extra lives, so those 3 are the ones I started the run with, and I never had to use them!
