Bonus stream tonight! Mr. Ongaku is ready for another bad time. Perhaps this time he will best Sans and complete the No Mercy path of #Undertale.

Things I'm thankful for this year:
- The VGM Community
- Those crazy ass Undertale/Deltarune fans who pulled up their Bergentrück
- My MySpace Top 8 (they know who they are)
- Working with nerds who sing Driver's High in the lab with me
- Team Ongaku, the best crew
- Dunkin on Billy Mitchell

I played Jet Force Gemini for the first time in like 25 years. That's a game that definitely needed a second joystick. Controls (especially aiming) are rough.

I'm progressively more annoyed that YouTube keeps recommending me video game concept albums that are obviously AI generated. We have plenty of human video game musicians that could be favored by the algorithm instead.

I never heard of NESMaker until these dudes submitted a panel for FPF about it. I have picking their brains about it in my down time and how they got their games on actual work NES carts.
