Someone came up to me after the presentation and said:
"Those pictures of the kids weren't just any kids, right?"
I responded, "You caught that, did you?"

I took a moment to check out the progress with .NET 8 `PublishAot`, specifically, with a vbPixelGameEngine example and I have to say that I'm very excited to see the attached.
