Funny how a little brainstorming changes things...
As usual before Ludum Dare, I took the morning off to go for a hike and go through the list of final themes, and brainstorm a few ideas I could do with each of them. Now after that, I have to adjust my votes, it always amuses me how some theme I really didn't like inspires some game idea I love while brainstorming, or a theme I like leads to no games I want to make... Basically, my conclusion is: the voting is probably basically random in the end, if everyone's brain works like mine ^_^.

Also, don't forget to wishlist the full and expanded version of my LD54 entry coming to Steam as QuantumPulse 2A, if competitive multithreaded assembly program optimization sounds like your kind of thing.
