Such things are really only impressive when the material balance is relatively close; when things get lopsided--as they do here--it becomes little more than a stunt.

You had a million other ways to mate along the way--including the quicker 34 Qxd7+ followed by 35 b8/R# (when you could also boast that you ended a game with an underpromotion). And on your 35th move there were a remarkable number of ways of forcing a mate in 2 (including incidentally 35 O-O+)...but 35 Qe4 allows him a couple of spite checks instead.
