Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

[6661] INTV Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin "all 256 levels" by Winslinator in 06:47.810 - Always a sucker for luck manipulating layouts on roguelites. [6380] INTV Reversi by Winslinator in 00:01.23 - Funniest TAS I've seen in a long time [6567] PCECD Ai Cho Aniki "2 Players, A Rank" by Pepper-Color in 17:28.36 - Weird and fantastic, you're missing out on this one [6862] PICO8 Rolly by Merl_ in 02:41.933 - Archetypal TAS [6897] TI83 Mega Man 83-ASM by Twisted_Eye in 07:39.667 - Can't say much more I haven't said before. It is a delight to watch. [6552] ZXS The Hobbit "game end glitch" by DigitalDuck in 04:42.49 - OK I was not expecting that to go like it went. Amazing.

These are missing in the poll
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.
