I'm making myself miserable (and that's a good thing)

Pretty sure I've missed/am missing the window I alluded to earlier, but I did warn about it not being accurate.
Anyway, I've entered depression speedrun mode, i.e. pretty much my entire life is being dedicated to finishing this update right now, sacrificing basically 100% of my free time outside of work.
The results have been great, and the past few days have seen rates of progress maybe faster than ever during this update cycle. It's a really painful throwback to how I developed the last two updates, and the fact that I worked like this for over a year for those really makes it obvious how I became jaded when starting Ep 2 Pt 2. Regardless, I'm going to keep up this pace until the update is out, basically because the finish line is so visible that any kind of procrastination would be excruciating for me to conceptualize, seeing that finish line getting further away.
Also, whenever I make one of these posts, I get a few "please take care of yourself" comments. Please don't do that this time, I know what I'm doing, I know how much I can handle. This is a very deliberate shift in workload that has a clear end goal in mind.
Right now, I'm in the final animation batch, with about 9 animations left to do, and about 80 renders remaining. In terms of renders, this tried-and-true method of self-torture has consistently put me on 40+ render days, so I'm not worried about those 80 static renders taking long.
As for the animations, I'm unsure. the reason I missed that window I last announced is because those previous animations took longer than I thought they would. They look great, so I'm not mad about that, but the animations looking better than ever unsurprisingly leads to them taking longer to make.
But also, those previous animations were done while I was semi-locked in, now I'm locked the FUCK in.
No announcement of a realease window this time, just because I don't want to get it wrong again and embarrass myself. But basically, soon. Sooner than ever.
More details in further posts, gonna put out the final preview batch for Resonants and above in the near future.
No sympathy for me, guys. Just let me fucking cook.
