RIP Oliver
@Fim has given us some sad news. Newgrounds user Oliver has recently passed away due to cancer. Oliver has been part of Newgrounds since 2007. He attended Newgrounds meets and was a fixture on the Newgrounds Forums. It is a sad day. He started a fundraiser to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. If you can make a donation to help out, then please do. Which if there are any Newgrounds members you haven't spoken to in a while. Check in on them. Remember this, you are never promised tomorrow.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! As you have read above, we have lost a member of our community. Oliver was a user who I have crossed paths with before. I unfortunately never knew him personally. Loss here is something that hits pretty heavy on a lot of users, no matter how close or apart you are. It is important to value one another for not only our talents and skills, but for our friendships and kindness. We have people who don't care for Madness Day, Clock Day, or Robot Day. Pico Day though, brings us all together. It is sad that Oliver didn't get to experience that day with us. I don't have too much more to say than that.

Back in 2015, @Aaron-Long would give us a new series on Newgrounds. The adventures of the mascots of Subpar, Sublo & Tangy Mustard. This series shows a realist point of view and tends to hit way too close to home on certain matters.
"After I moved to LA I didn't make a personal short for a couple of years but I was brainstorming ideas for them. I had plans to do more Fester Fish but I also wanted to do something that wasn't a pastiche of existing stuff, something more inspired by my own life in Toronto with my friends in my early twenties. I put a lot of my own personal experiences into it and the mascot suit idea was just sort of a gimmick so that the two protagonists were visually interesting and that it wasn't just a totally self-indulgent autobio project. Season 1 was written as six episodes but ended up just being the first 4, which we recorded in 2015. Then season 2/episodes 5-15 were written and recorded in 2017, and I'm only just finished that batch now! Yes I do want to make a season 3 and I have a bunch of episode ideas, but I'm not sure when it will happen yet. I think I need to take a break from it again (as I did after season 1) and recharge while I focus on my day job."

If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.
I don't really have an outro for you here this week. If you have a close friend here on Newgrounds. Check in on them.
