Editing Npesta (section)

===Kenos===
About a week later, npesta took on another verification project, Kenos, a super-buffed and extended rebirth of [[Sakupen Hell]].

On 29 April 2019, npesta did a 64-100% run on Kenos. Then, after 18,000 attempts, he got to 53%, making it to the second half of the level. On 23 May 2019, npesta achieved a 31-100% run and then got 69% 41 days later. He then achieved 83% on 13 August 2019.

On 16 September 2019, npesta heavily buffed Kenos because he switched to a 240Hz monitor and found it not difficult enough at that frame rate. He started getting more deaths, over 100, in fact, past 70% and 80%, and on 17 November 2019, he did an impressive 17-100% run on Kenos, which, before completion, he would end up doing three times. On 30 November 2019, npesta got 90% on the level, making it past the two difficult wave parts he had struggled with.

On 14 December 2019, he finally verified Kenos on stream after eight months and 135,320 attempts. The stream peaked at 1,000 viewers, making the verification one of the biggest moments of his gaming career.

Reddit user u/AGT-AM posted a video on 16 December 2019, of someone beating Stereo Madness in practice mode on the popular meme subreddit ''r/okbuddyr*tard'', with npesta's face-cam and the Kenos reaction in the corner.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/ebeq8i/i_beat_square_game/</ref> This meme inspired people to make more memes, such as the C**k Island speedrun,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keTQSU-aj-s</ref> the Google Earth Cat speedrun,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckLM_UBk38A</ref> and the black emoji speedrun.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxGynpQxWcQ</ref> These memes caused npesta to have a page made about him on ''Know Your Meme,''<ref>https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/npestas-kenos-verification-reaction</ref> and even getting noticed by PewDiePie.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq8QxKnN_5I?t=75</ref> PewDiePie said that npesta was an 'Impossible Game Speedrunner', which resulted in RobTop calling out PewDiePie on Twitter.<ref>https://x.com/RobTopGames/status/1236071032571785216</ref>

Toward the end of December 2019, npesta would stream Sakupen Hell, the original level for its remake, Kenos. He believed he could beat it quickly since he had verified the buffed remade version. However, after npesta beat the level, he asked Doggie (npesta's editor who applied for the position just days earlier) to edit together a stream highlights-based video as content for npesta's channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k05q30apCN8</ref> Because of this video, the concept of stream highlights received a massive boost in the Geometry Dash community. People such as [[Technical]], [[Juniper]], AmorAltra, and Golden hired editors such as Lake Iverson, ViewSonic, RiceNStuff, PoisonArch, and Doggie himself to make stream highlights for their channels. npesta has stuck with the stream highlights format since the Sakupen Hell video, with Doggie continuing to edit for him.
