Hey friends I really don't want to do this, but today has been a verifiable Shit Show. If anyone is okay with it, I'm on Venmo as papahoodwinker. I can divulge more privately but would rather not make the timeline more depressing today. I can also do creative trades, commissions

los angeles chiptune to me is/was literally @8BitLA because I don't know anything else. i hope someone proves me wrong because there should've been more people doing what they were doing here. i know gen z bout that hyperpop, but there has to be a new chip gen we can champion

Tutorials are something I’ve been meaning to make for a while now but I might just do it live instead, next week! Starting from scratch I’m gonna go thru the basics and answer as many questions as I can. If you’re a beginner or want a new approach this might be of value to you

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Proto Magnon from Canada will not be performing at Brew Game Plus October 16th in Vista CA. However, I will be heading there to fill in and bringing a ton of surprises along with me! This is a stacked lineup of VGM, see you there SoCal!

I wanna go to LA again and play music. I found my post-freqfest zine when I played as Solarbear and I miss it. 😭

We told ya there might be updates to the lineup, and we weren't kidding.
We're super stoked to share that @starfarermusic, who started making space-themed synthwave music in 2017, is joining us 9/2 for Splatterhouse at @dnalounge

You may not rest here, there are monsters nearby...
🚨 UPDATE 🚨 Splatterhouse is now happening SEPT 2 to ensure that all unvax'd guests have adequate time to get their nanobots installed (lol) in compliance w/ venue rules.
We even may have some lineup updates soon... #chiptune
