I'm the one that needs to be taking risks here. I haven't read this, but I never should have played my last move if I didn't intend to follow it up.

My, this game has become violently entertaining. I think I'm good here, but I'm not sure if white is in the top left. Time will tell, though. Obviously, if only one player loses a huge group, it's the game.

This move is forced. I have no idea of the outcome. But catching the one stone is only one eye, and anyway he'll live in gote and I think I can save the left. I had to try something.

The Plan:
I think I can do this. As DTS said, I belive white is dead up top left. So I just need to lose less and I'll be okay. I'm looking at a sequence like in the diagrams below, where if I have to I can sacrifice a few stones to ensure life. There's a lot of complexity, so my opponent will look for monkey wrenches. However, these diagrams are what I read that I would play as white, so I'm feeling optimistic.

Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].
I resign. You're alive easily by my reading, at least three or four eyes. I might live on the left with half my group with something like C14, but it's not enough. Sorry I barely made it 100 moves! I should have read this out before playing a game of chicken. Getting some points in the middle made it close enough to go into endgame at least.
Thank you very much for the game. It was challenging and exciting. I was afraid of your reading, so I was doing my best to keep the game in larger, direction-of-play strategic areas as long as I could. I think I'm going to try to get it compiled into a sgf with our comments. Once it's there, I'll post it either for review here, or try to swindle somebody into doing a video review. I would love to play you again sometime, if you would be up for it. Thanks again, and thanks to the observers who commented.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].
It was really frustrating when I lost my progress halfway through... Took a few hours but it'd definitely be faster next time. I figured out how to do a lot of things like deleting and moving nodes, which helped.
