hi gang if you head over right now to gamesdonequick.com/donate you can choose which hat you make me wear during the middle portion of my run

i will note that if cauldron hat wins it is not only the largest time loss but sometimes when i die w/it on it gets stuck mid-air and i can't put it back on
