I know it's a bit early to call the end of the year, but I wanted to touch base with everyone since I have Saturnalia coming up soon and I'll be busy with my friends for a week or so. 

It's been a hard year. I probably made it harder than it needed to be. Some of the things that happened, well, I could have handled it better. 

But hey, everything's still standing, and slowly but surely we're getting our footing on various things. Please continue to bring in suggestions. 

On a few points that you guys haven't been updated on as of yet:

I recently started hosting a friend of the SGI community's site, LameGuy64—a guy from the Philippines whose a PS1 homebrew dev and been a good friend to the community

Here's the article on his site. I recommend everyone check him out, he's quite the neat guy. 

Theme color palette changes: This is on hold until after the holidays, but assuming all goes well, I'll be looking at it soon.

We have some new emotes likely to come in soon from CB_HK to replace Pentium's older 8-bit style. I of course am grateful Pentium granted me rights to the emotes, but we needed a little bump in quality. 

With my departure from my job, I'm currently starting a career as a novelist. I do not want to abuse my position to advertise my fantasy works though. If you're interested, you can PM me and I'll send you a link to the site I setup. I realize, after all, fantasy ain't everyone's taste. We're here for computers after all. But the point is, I'm working behind the scenes on some concepts, including a few ditched concepts from previous ideas. 

I'm currently curious if there's any categories you're chomping at the bit for me to add? I've considered axing a few or splitting them out a bit. Any ideas? The x86 one is staying for the few people who have VWS systems.

There won't be a New Years viewing party likely. It wasn't very popular last year and the service I used (rabb.it) went down earlier this year, and the proposed replacement, Kast, is beyond retarded. 

If you guys got any end of the year things you want to say, jokes, roasts, criticisms, etc, by all means, this is the place.
