That huge drop from Battleblock to Super Marisa Land :cawg:

On one hand, I want to defend it because Battleblock went on way past my bedtime and I'm part of the group who went to bed the second it finished.

On the other hand, if it wasn't bed time for me, I would've tuned out anyway.

I would argue that some of the runs become a lot more interesting if you know what to look for. Makes you appreciate when the runner clutch a hard glitch or segment.

It's also super interesting if you think you know a run since you last saw it a year ago, then the runner breaks out some new trick or glitch that was recently discovered and bends the game in a way you weren't expecting.

Holy poo poo how the hell did the donations jump to 1.3 million? I know Humble Bundle donated 200k but that still leaves another 200k that seemingly came out of nowhere over night. It was stuck at 910k when I went to sleep.

Alright, short, quick summary of what went wrong with the donation tracker.

There's was a latent bug in the way that incoming Paypal notifications were processed, and one "bad" notification (not really bad but it was enough to trigger the bug) led to the creation of a donor that was in a corrupted state.

Due to details I'll go over later, that corrupted donor was enough to prevent anybody who had not donated in the past from successfully donating. I'm not 100% sure on when this happened, but judging from the Paypal notification logs it started happening on the 8th.

After sifting through some of the logs, there may be as much as :siren: $427k :siren: in donations that never got properly processed until I fixed the bug.

That said, we still have all of the notifications and can potentially "replay" them to get them properly sorted. Some of them will get replayed by Paypal itself, which is why the donation total is still rising so much even after the stream went down, as we're now getting donations from the last X hours that are being properly handled.

tl;dr: gently caress everything I'm going to bed

I didn't even notice he typed like that.

It's like a 90s chain e-mail all over again :stare:
