The backstory between this LDC being the first and only twin LDC is that it's quasi the outcome of the already longer-lasting rivalry of paradigms between story legend MoD and pure platformer master Buff. So, both of them hosted an LDC with their fondness as a theme, and both also were judges on their side, but: They were both forced to make an entry for the OPPOSITE site, Buff made a story entry and MoD made a platformer. Originally, MP3 was only supposed to judge only Story, but jumped in for Cave as Asterocrat and nin10mode both had to drop out. |

Trivia[]
- Of course, as this was the unique twin LDC, many comparisons and stats were made soon after the results. Cave was superior to Story with the overall better placements on top (getting 2nd to 4th), while Story had the grand ~MP3 Amplifier~ shining on Top. Both MoD and Buff_ were content with the outcome of their halves.
- Though it was already clear at the beginning that no ribbons would be given out for the individual LDC's, it was debated if MoD was at 4 gold medals now and MP3 was at three. Officially only MP3's win counts, meaning that today both MP3 and MoD are the record winners with four golds each.
- For all the following LDC's, we returned to the tradition of the host also announcing the results, after it has mostly been the cup defender before from the 12th until the 19th LDC.
