I was actually set up from a migrated account several years back. But thank you for the awareness.

I said that on my self-comment below yours, I was actually using the site for at least ten years now. And the main reason I moved through other accounts in the past was for a name change, but I would also say I jumped around certain formats of backlog which kind of messed up my historic stats. But now I'll just not refer to them anymore while I move on. It's pretty specific what I do but my "early spring note" will address most of it.

"I found the shortcut to Bowser's Castle on Star Road and was like "WHAT?!?! You can just do that?" lol"

And that's not even the only castle-related skip, either. There's a secret exit in the Valley of Bowser that takes you to the back door of the castle (I used to think "Front Door" was a weird name for the last stage), skipping it completely and going straight to Bowser. 'Cause... sure, why not!

How is Doom II on Ultra-Violence treating you? Going for the secret levels? Map 20's "Gotcha" is a good one, good song, too.
GZDoom is definitely the way to go. It has so many bells and whistles, the Options menu has its own search bar.

Your banner and color scheme.

Because why not? Haha!

I should replay Yume Nikki someday, haven't played since I completed it years ago, it was a trip and a half, but then again, I need to be in a very specific mood to play it again, that ending is f up man...

Kudos on sequence breaking Mario World, even if it was an accident. Curious which two doors in Bowser's castle you ended up passing. (Always thought it was too bad that you only have to pick 2 of 8 possible rooms. It would feel more like a last level if they took all 8 doors and made a gauntlet out of it.)

I see you brought back the "extended transparent banner", whatever you want to call it. "🔸🔹" was brief.

Now that is an unique way of using the png in a banner!

P.S. You just keep finding better and better Yume Nikki themes, love the colors

Merry Christmas to you too
