I had also assumed that the venue would carry palatable vegan options, or that I could cook my own. After missing the Strange Loop meal service twice in a row, due to talk scheduling conflicts, I managed to queue long enough to acquire the remaining scoop of utterly awful vegan soup, and then returned to stealing whole fruits from the gym and eating them in my room, which I was content with. The problem that wasn't apparent at first was that eating sweets all day kept me up all night.
Despite these mistakes in preparing properly for the road leading to the talk, I managed to show up on stage on time, give an (hopefully) entertaining presentation at Strange Loop 2023. I'd love to give a special thank to @jack for the tea that brought my voice back, and @jcmorrow to let me borrow their laptop and install Uxn on it for the presentation.
Also, I learnt how to cook instant noodles with a clothing iron, which was pretty neat.
