Thanks @boogie , et al. Genuinely appreciate and cherish the ups.
Have been popping in and out lately due to IRL workload, and happened to see it myself today for first time as well. (Came as a bit of a surprise, TBH, as there was talk along the way of not nec hosting anything from the contest on the Splash this time and having it just for fun.) Feels weird/humbling to have made it to the front with such fantastic ppl/artists in play. Proud papa, but feeling lucky more than anything.
(Admittedly also getting a chuckle out of the fun and targeted theme reappearing on the front again briefly. Reminds of @Frank22 with that great ship-vibe before. High-seas represent.)
[Edit/PS: Ever/over-critical me seems like res is different on splash version compared to original. Shrunk/pixelated. Maybe just my setup or something lost in translation. Still fun/funny to look at.]
