Thanks Fifo! < has updated the post here, but it's still missing the results and spreadsheet links for 2026.

< has noticed the snow behaves slightly differently than < remembers, it used to change tilt depending on the user's cursor position. This year's seems to be indifferent. < wonders if the snow implementation is different?
< says we changed the snow script last year or so to a non-responsive one. < can't remember for sure, but thinks it was because we failed to salvage the old script after the server failure on Hallowe'en 2024...
Can’t be as bad as <‘s fail the other day, where < accidentally wrote 2983 instead of 1983 (referring to the Famicom release year), then < went on to say that < “will be 91 in 2983”.
As if that’s not bad enough, < then went on to type “what is happening to my brian”.
< used to work with a guy from Dublin called Brian, and many of the people from Asian subcons who used to work with him seemed to start their emails with "Hi Brain,"
Actually he called me "Brain" to my face a few times when I was first starting out

That, or Steo is an LLM.
< never realised this.

< is looking forward to a bit of calm after celebrating almost non-stop for two weeks.
< is also kind of just looking forward to things being "normal" if that makes sense. It was nice to see everyone and celebrate, but < usually just likes working on projects / programming.
< was looking at XML scripts for a couple of games in a certain series < likes. What < found was fascinating. <'s glad the instructions for the extractor were relatively easy for < (other than the fact that < had to run it as an admin).
< had a fairly relaxing day replaying Rayman Junior natively on DOS (framerate's a little too high but it still works!), and has now just updated their quote collection
< is curious to know when did < get into ^'s quote collection.
< had to shell out 27 dollars again so < could get the right version of Sparks of Hope. This reminds > of the time when < was present during the Chinese bot invasion years ago here.
