Hi! I was in a Sonic Hacking Contest video! Yes, there's no more schedule that media panelists have to abide to. And yes I'm now a Head Judge! And...I'm considering streaming entries during Contest Week again! Not 100% set in stone yet but we'll see! bsky.app/profile/shco...
Thank you to everyone that tuned in for the premiere! If you missed it, you can still catch the video, as well as the written announcement on our website. shc.zone/news/post/148
