Chip For Change: Tenacity, by Bit Crushed 19 track album

Hey! BCFriday reminder: We have three #chiptune compilation albums and ALL the proceeds go to the ACLU! Feels like a super important organization in this current climate... just sayin!

NEW MUSIC!
Over the span of a week in November, the Marshall Art collective rallied together to record an arrangement of Good Night from Gimmick! in memory of composer and our friend Masashi Kageyama.

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!

Chiptune Monthly A monthly chiptune community newsletter where you send us your music and we promote it for you, for free, forever.

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!

If you wanted to do one thing to help us help you, please tell any of your chiptune friends who are releasing an album, performing live, organizing a festival, throwing a game jam, programming new trackers or are in any other way contributing to keeping this community alive worldwide to let us know!

TIME TO ANNOUNCE The Chiptune Webring! After coming home from #MAGFest and talking with friends, I thought "why not combine my love for coding & chiptune into something useful?" If you're interested and love #chiptune of all kinds, please feel free to join! sephlow.net/chiptune #neocities #indieweb

My upcoming shows for the first half of 2026! Excited to be playing the Bitdown and to be returning to Wood Chip Fest!

Y'all, I had NO idea that it looked like this from the crowd 😵

For any LSDJ chiptune artists who have been avoiding the Analogue Pocket due to audio distortion in the WAV channel the issue has been fixed with the Budude2 fpga core for GB and GBC. @defensemech.com has actually forked the core and further improved on it as well. #lsdj #chiptune #analoguepocket

DEICER : DEI Community Engagement Reporter A web application to help immigrant communities report ICE locations and access resources

People heard that the DEICER app was removed from the app stores a few months ago.

It was removed, but it’s not gone!

You can't get it in app stores, but you can download a web app that works on both platforms here. deicer.org

It seems important, with the recent escalation, to share information!

YouTube video by Viking Guitar Live Guitar Laptop Rig - Use Amp Sims Live (Viking Guitar University)

I've got a new video out on the ULTIMATE LAPTOP LIVE RIG. Play guitar live with any amp sim and a ton of other features. Give it a watch! youtu.be/tL8pYmKin_E

#ampsims #liveguitar #guitar

Development on VGMdb was slower than we'd planned in 2025. We only have one developer, so our focus has been on maintenance and bug fixes rather than new features. We hope to continue making progress in 2026. If you're a web dev passionate about music and data, join our Discord to connect with us.

I released an album yesterday. It sounds like this.

H0l0 NYC - 4/6/19 - YouTube Went to an incredible show in NYC at H0l0 and this is the footage we took!

Anybody else out there remember this sick AF #chiptune show from NYC in April 2019? Bitshifter, Anamanaguchi, Nullsleep, Starscream (?!) -- here's some video!

One week until @magfest.org 2026!
While we won’t all be there in person, a few members of our musical collective will be taking part. Here’s a quick run down of what we’re doing.

Where will you be next Saturday at 5:40pm EST? Because I will be on the MAGFest main stage playing bass for The Arkadian! Hope to see you there!
