I make hard maps sometimes, it's enjoyable
I like playing them and I like watching people play them, seeing who fails and who succeeds
Sometimes I can enjoy easier or slower maps, but only if I'm playing very casually... If I'm playing seriously I only care about going fast or getting a high rank, because that's what I find fun most of the time.
And I think this "well, only a small fraction of a percentage of the playerbase can enjoy them!" argument is very silly... the amount of well-made, challenging maps is very low compared to the amount of well-made, easier maps... I think it's really okay that difficult maps do exist to cater to those players that want to play them, and for everyone else, they can go find something else to play. There's plenty out there.
Anyways, this map is really difficult! At least, I hope it is (as that was my intention)
