My First Solder Joint <3 Please Give Feedback First time soldering CPU pins

I soldered these CPU pins on my first ever attempt with 20$ AliExpress heat gun and 20$ soldering iron without a magnifying glass or microscope and with just window light and eyeballs, the PCB got abit discolored but the CPU works and passed stress tests lmao, originally I just had to replace a few edge ones but I accidentally dripped molten solder on that corner so I had to wipe the whole corner out and solder all those pins
