(ipi). When chasing that balance of _fast_ and _packed with sound_ (to the extent of, let's say, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfu4vfVjmcI), "Ultra-Velocity Party!!" in turn distills a form of lyrical expression through the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16's hardware constraints, and took part in the tenth annual Battle of the Bits Winter Chip. This called for more hands on deck, and that became a group effort! Following the rapport established by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DJ3LfZhLKM, what became the "Ultra-Velocity LAN Party!!" mixed everyone's styles... with Sidetable as master of ceremonies for her supposed show and tell?? The roster included veterans and regulars, steering clear of most 'classic' sources to put emphasis on what's specific to each participant's own niche, however unconventional their nature. That in mind, when it remained in flux throughout gestation, the guiding seed would've taken root in common ground, expressed in different hands through one collective feed. It didn't make the final cut, pro forma, but the following description almost stuck: _"The Ultra-Velocity LAN Party!! (featuring the liēks of Mount Rushsnore, Blimp Shimmy, Funtime Graggle, Uber Nippleflick, Nosey Botkins, Knitwangle Gaming, Caterpillar Whizzbang, Penile Scalp, Goofball Gubble, Junile Ballslapper, Jungle Baby, Nape Mango, Zott Monte, and Ash Throttlebottom) marks the first time a first-timer's first-time collab went beyond measure for the first time.."_ Had it come through, the afterparty would have played a different role, as would the button. These needs needed focus, leaving little room for the usual "funny collab quotes" (for lack of a better term), though a couple slipped in through the necessity of a hurried subtitle pass. Still, the last stretch allowed for some fun and games (case in point: part IX) to reinforce an identity; while the label suggests a physical assembly, and spoke more to intent than timing, it comes to embody the push and pull that kept everything in motion, more than enough to steer over the finish line... And the timing felt kismet!! After months of planning, the once-February deadline lined up with a comment made by ipi on "wow", which gave an extra push to finish the cycle. For a first party, where any specific leaning (or, the clues of a blueprint) can find its voice amidst the deluge, we trashed the place just right... everyone but _Steve?!?_ Why, we have him to thank for a well-stocked fridge, some shoe stickers, the Cleavland Steamer (Edited), and even a TurboGrafx-CD System Card for the classics (alas, _It Came From the Desert_ and _J.B. Harold Murder Club_ don't boot by sheer willpower). Besides, this chunk was written with the Thinking Chair all to myself... the way it's been since evolution? No matter how plans changed, the "Ultra-Velocity LAN Party!!" closed it out the way it was meant to, and the HuWSG-native entry held up exactly where it mattered Looking ahead, I will work harder
