LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Hello again Newgrounds, here's another update. Tankman Triweekly will return in January 2022, and this time it will be a guarantee.
In the mean time, we're just filling in @The-Great-One's shift as editor for @TheTankTribune as he deals with at least three separate personal issues, those being COVID, memory issues, and his dad's recovery from surgery.

$400,000 To Deliver a Drawing Tablet in 12 Seconds
The NG community donated $1,250 USD to pay for this year's annual drawing tablet giveaway, despite ongoing protests by dedicated mouse users. @Sabtastic is also helping out to send tablets to Canadian recipients.
Current winners include @Ahkihoun, @alyxandr, and @dandyjack.
NG Exploit: Infinite Art Zoom
The Art Portal received the first brand new update since 2017. You can now set submissions as comics and you can now zoom in to art pieces bigger than your own screen. However, if your submission is smaller than your screen, you can incorrectly mark it as Pixel Art to allow extra zooming.
Ninjamuffin99 Misses the Point of His Own Game Jam
Taking a break from FNF @ninjamuffin99 hosted a 3 Star Game Jam from November 26th to 28th. However, his game『さかさま MOOD』 completely missed the whole point, which was to get as close to 3 stars as possible. As of December 4th it sits at 4.02/5 and won Daily 4th.
UPDATE: (Dec-17-2022) Score increased to 4.06.
ART COMMISSIONS OPEN RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
@mock2 is open for commissions on Fiverr, going from $5 to $15 and he doesn't have to go through 5 different revisions.
* Not representative of the actual number of A's in "RAAAA".
We start the week off with @TheChalkeaters winning their first Daily Feature for Furrýmon: Gotta Smash ’Em All! (Animated MV) — The Chalkeaters feat. Black Gryph0n and PiNKII The self-proclaimed "video game-themed overproduced sh*tpost music team" started out on YouTube in 2019 and have joined Newgrounds very recently.
Hits such as COUNT TO THREE, which featured the voice of GLaDOS herself, have over 10 million views.
@Potatoman and @Cryptospore won a Daily Feature for their short Gym Confrontation. A skilled 2.5D artist best known for drawing the Dankmen, Potatoman is usually never seen in over a minute these days.
@NIKOYOART wins her first Daily Feature for the movie The Big Kahuna- Short Film. This is also voice actors @Mikeysota and @Shiftybred's 3rd Daily Feature as well.
@Maplestar-NSFW wins their first Daily feature for their movie Makima gives Denji a reward!
How in the almighty King of the Portal StrawberryClock did that get in here?

UPDATE: Here's the 2nd place winner instead, from @Hosogm.
@jonathan and his team won a Daily Feature for their movie RATBASTERDS: UNDERGROUND, a 1 and 1/2 year long passion project that's worth a watch and full of dumb humor (the kind where the characters are dumb, not the creators).
The team also consists of animators @AmazinLarry, @DeadlyComics, @Emrox, @Ghost-Bat, @JacquesTheron, @moonslothart, @Nihaho, @Peekaywalsh, @Shufflehound, @Speedo, @sveekins, @thecooldrawingguy, @ThePrimatePunk, and @Urbs, artists @Brewster, @MikeCarf, and @paperisfood, voice actors @Gianni, @InexpensiveJew, and @nevarky, and writer @Pjorg. I'm not going into detail how many other Daily Features they all won, that's 100% unnecessary.
@BrandyBuizel wins a Daily Feature for Tankmas ADVENTure 2022. It's an official NG advent calendar that started in 2018, and thus needs no introduction.
And to close off the week, @SPANGLESNG wins his 2nd Daily Feature for his movie Mordecai sets up an account ( animated )
2009 was a very big year for Newgrounds, and @Kirbopher and @Rina-chan's Brawl Taunts series played a big part, with the third and final installment, One More Brawl Taunts, being a full-scale collab. Although well-received, they weren't without criticism, notably for their lack of humor.
Then came Brawl Funnies, a parody of all the lame video game parodies flooding Newgrounds at the time with either Kirbopher and Rina-chan front and center as the butt of the joke. Submitted by @CoolDrMoney and featuring parts by other popular artists such as @rtil, @Blordow, @Ukinojoe, @f0d, and @Emanhattan, Brawl Funnies was so big it had to be split into two "dicks". Most of the creators were also responsible for Tank Award nominee Metal Gear Funnies, which was removed around 2013, but we know our ways around it.
"For the most part, I'm not incredibly bothered by them. I know several of the people involved, and I know a lot of it is done in jest. Otherwise, when it gets down to it they're allowed to do whatever they feel like, so who am I to judge."

Here are the Top 5 songs from the Audio Portal, except this time based on what showed up on the RSS feed on November 30th 2022, ie, who actually won the Audio trophies this week.
Kicking off at Number 5 is stargazing by @nuphory.
Number 4 is REPENT MOTHERFXXXER (CLUB MIX) by @onumi
Number 3 is @TheThirdRates' cover of Escape From the City from Sonic Adventure 2. It's a little slower than the original, but otherwise incredibly well-made.
Number 2 is Jay Eskar - Face 2 Face (ft. Justin J Moore) by @jayeskar
And finally at Number 1, we have F-777 - Airborne Robots (Zoftle Remix). @Zoftle's version of Geometry Dash superstar @F-777's song.

This week's featured artist is @Lisnovski. Although he joined Newgrounds in 2019, he only recently started posting pixel art here and let's just say he's already giving @ScepterDPinoy a run for his money.
Do check out his six-part Super Smash Bros character collection which he spent around 2 years on.

El artista destacado de esta semana es @Lisnovski. Aunque se unió a Newgrounds en 2019, solo recientemente comenzó a publicar pixel art aquí y digamos que ya @ScepterDPinoy está dando una carrera por su dinero.
Echa un vistazo a su colección de personajes de Super Smash Bros de seis partes en la que pasó alrededor de 2 años.
