But I saw this and it's infuriating. The policies of the US government are absolutely wrecking so many different things.
What's the actual acoustics of it like, and how do you clean that up? Like, not in a rhetorical sense, what's the best way to really make that audio better?

On the other hand, he's gone crazy-go-nuts hard right now, and SO MUCH of retro gaming feels that way.

It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released.
Now, I'm looking for your memories.
Let's turn back together.
Face the flower and speak.

A picture of J.D. Lowe holding his cat, a young girl named Stalker, from February 2025. She's swaddled in a blanket; this is the night we said goodbye to her.
A picture of J.D. Lowe giving one of his cats, a young male named Sheldon, some Churu. In this picture he's standing on a cat tree; he's had his back left leg amputated due to cancer.
A picture of J.D. Lowe holding his cat, a young girl named Addie, from July 2025. She's swaddled in a blanket. We said goodbye to her that day.
They say bad news comes in threes, and this year has been a year of loss.
February, said goodbye to my oldest cat, Stalker.
April, said goodbye to my next oldest cat, Sheldon.
Last night, said goodbye to my next oldest cat, Addie.
My family went from 5 cats to 2 in five months.
My heart hurts.
It's been bugging me, like, I feel like I have seen these elsewhere, so I did some digging:

The pics all came from this video!
(Admittedly, The Megas has apologized and will not be using the AI art any more. Rock on, y'all! <3 )
This is how it's done. Hell yes; a mistake was made, there's no need to decimate anyone or anything of that nature, but it's fine to have accountability of things. Well done, GDQ and Megas <3

A screenshot of a Twitch VOD of the first song The Megas played during Summer Games Done Quick 2025. It appears to be an AI generated image of Dr. Wily.
A screenshot of a Twitch VOD of the first song The Megas played during Summer Games Done Quick 2025. It appears to be an AI generated image of Quick Man.
A screenshot of a Twitch VOD of the first song The Megas played during Summer Games Done Quick 2025. It appears to be an AI generated image of Heat Man.
A screenshot of a Twitch VOD of the first song The Megas played during Summer Games Done Quick 2025. It appears to be an AI generated image of Bubble Man.
Four of the five images from The Megas concert on Games Done Quick that I'm 99.999999% certain are AI.
Disappointed! I don't know if it's The Megas or GDQ who made this choice.
Hey, sorry to be a sort of jerk (well not THAT sorry, and not THAT big of a jerk), but did y'all use AI art as an overlay during songs?
www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequi... for the clip
I don't know if it was Megas asking for it, or GDQ adding it. Either way, big time let down, you're right.

...although I think they used AI art for their first song? The second batch of robot names they said, they had "pics" of robots.
Martha was absolutely perfect as the well meaning, tech ignorant Mom, and Jon was perfect as the dad who wants to say something but keeps getting distracted by minutia. It felt so lived in!

Leave It To Beaver went off the air in 1963.
If that song were written today about a TV show that ended the same distance of time, Al would suggest we sit around the house watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Bad news, America.
