# Editorial

It has been six months. We are not sorry — good philes take time, and the
half-baked ones go in the bin where they belong.

This issue leans into the scene that raised us: the cracktros, the trackers,
the four-kilobyte intros that did more with a 7MHz CPU than most apps manage
with a teraflop. None of this is nostalgia for its own sake. Constraint is a
teacher, and the people who learned to fit a whole production into a
bootblock
are the same people who can still reason about a system from first
principles.

A few housekeeping notes:

- The submission window for 0x48 is open. See the News page.
- Yes, the music player now does Future Composer and SID. Stop emailing us.
- No, we will not add a comments section.

Read on, and turn the volume up.
