For those not in the know, I hold a few niche world records.
https://stgiga.github.io/stgiga2.xface and https://stgiga.github.io/stgiga2.face and its render https://stgiga.github.io/TallFace.gif are my record-setting most-complex X-Face (and Face) header, a format used in the 1990s and 2000s to store a picture in the MIME headers of e-mails. I'm most likely the only person who mixed modes because some considered too-large sizes to be a nuisance. So it's an impressive but BAD record that at best only applies today if Fedi or Discourse add X-Face-el and Face support as options for avatars or banners if using beyond-48x48, called "multi".
I also hold the record for most-complex VTF spray in Source 1 games, at https://stgiga.github.io/gigaware/shinymew.vtf which uses ALL features. It's HD (512x512), it is animated (3 frames), distance-fading (all 5 levels contain a unique 3-frame animation, and the invisible 16x16 mipmap is populated), and it has a transparent background. And it just clears the 512KiB limit of Source 1 sprays by the thinnest of margins. It is the most complex possible spray, and I think I'm the first person to FULLY max out the VTF format in terms of features. I even made Mew's cry plus the shiny sound into a sound spray for what it's worth. Of course, the spray is a Shiny Mew, a Pokemon that itself is a rare trophy. I own one due to an RNG project I started on ProjectPokemon in 2017, and this Mew is also 6x31IV. So I guess I hold another record. Also last night I on DeviantArt's 25th anniversary gave myself ALL 25 year badges by realizing how they were awarded. And these are just some of many badges, some of them more-or-less being obtainable due to site glitches. I don't know if I hold the DA record but I have WAY too many badges. By adding these 25 badges in a way nobody else figured out, I probably have a MUCH more niche DeviantArt account than I already did. Or at least notable for finding a glitch in DA's 25th Anniversary celebration, which is very funny. I DID share with people how to do it. It may have not been a glitch given people who had gone through multiple accounts via stuff like forgetting how to log in to their old one or such. But I wager I'm the only person to have deliberately obtained ALL 25 badges just because it was possible. Everyone after PST had already gone to bed by the time I did shit. And like with getting the DreamUp badges for lulz, I ironically did NOT machine-generate stuff. The DreamUp was done via 8x16+16x16 pixel art, meanwhile the 25 badges were obtained via the entire render history of my VRChat avatar plus some more-random art shit on my HDD, none of which was AI.
Also I have some badges for contests like the Baseball one which Team didn't post, and I also have another secret badge that wasn't fully announced. I am also one of the few people to get the 2017 anniversary badge after 2017, because DA had accidentally let it be available before Eclipse force. I didn't get the 2010 one because I didn't have a machine with IE and Flash until after DA went Eclipse, but the 25th badges are a good compromise. Due to uni getting Valentine's Day badges before the current system of them being award-based wasn't possible or I couldn't do it or such. But I have multiple other heart-shaped badges so it's fine, not to mention I dislike pink and my love life has been a mess.
Ah well, I'm a record-holder in the most niche possible ways, even SF2s and TTFs.
