* The technical feat that was Chaos Fortune Cookie this year. While Jon can't feasibly bring his ''thousands upon thousands'' of games with him, a combination of an emulation machine, Jon's Steam Deck, and actual hardware allow for a decent slice of the pie to be playable in-person. What's more, thanks to a team led by Jon's technically-minded mod [=DeefDragon=], the process of selecting games and keeping track of game selections was ''significantly'' streamlined, to the point that donors were actually able to start picking games for both the in-person event and the inevitible bonus streams (where Jon ''would'' have access to his full collection, warranting a distinct split between main Cookie picks and bonus stream picks) right from the start of Colosseum. It's all in all very impressive, allowing arguably the most popular segment of the socially-distanced Colosseums to continue being a regular presence at the event.
