And as a reminder - we have this hosted on Patreon exclusively because they have infrastructure for newsletters and Discord integration (if we ever make one). We're not charging for Chiptune Monthly, we're not paywalling it, they're just the easiest platform to use.

Help us help you help the scene!

Our reporting is inherently biased due to being based in the US East Coast. We don't want to just talk about the stuff we're involved in and our group of friends! We search out what we can, but the #1 way to help us tell people about the world of chiptunes that they're missing is submissions!

This is probably not a thing we want to, like, actively report on, but it is good to have closure. -Adam

Also featured is Celestial Circuit, a charity compilation album by ChipT4T, a release party hosted by our very own @donutshoes.bsky.social is happening TONIGHT over on the @geekbeatradio.bsky.social twitch channel! More info here: bsky.app/profile/aubr...

Adam and Ethan used to be cohosts on Rob Carballo's geekbeatradio - that station sadly succumbed to some computer issues, but word on the street is geekbeatradio might be back on-air sometime soon, if but briefly. They do of course still have the Twitch stream for live events though!

Making a note to check back on this for the Dec issue, but @bitcrushed.bsky.social please feel free to shoot us any promo info you want to for this over at chiptunemonthly.carrd.co!

I (Adam) very explicitly don't want people harassing you at all, I just wanted to cite the thing I was correcting. I would hope the very small number of people who read this newsletter aren't the kind of people who do that.

Re: your other questions - not ignoring them, but do want to think on them

happened afterwards, we had to correct it, and then tell people why.

I hope this brings some kind of clarity on this at least. This project is exclusively meant to be a way to tell people about new & upcoming albums & shows & to promote cool things happening in the community. That's all we want.

-Also, speaking as me (Adam) for a sec - I really agree with Peter on the "don't like it, don't buy it" & the "if I didn't like an album, I didn't promote it" points! If part of this conversation happened before the newsletter went out, these albums wouldn't have even gone in. But since it...
