So this was all fresh at the time with no backstage knowledge or Baby Yodas. And who doesn’t love a good foaming at the mouth nerd rant?

In the event anyone cares, the old one was broken in latest Hugo. So, time to table flip! We’re now on PaperMod, like everyone else. Because creativity is for the actually creative.
