This was a lot of fun to watch. Tons of great chiptune music coming out of the #nesdev community right now.
A man is setting up a DJ stage with two NES consoles, a switcher, and a small analog television.
A man is sitting behind a laptop in a convention hall, smiling at the camera. His shirt reads “Homebrew Game Club.”

Very cool NES homebrew DJ set on the Midwest Gaming Classic main stage yesterday by @raftronaut.bsky.social with video by HBGC’s own @bartman311.bsky.social
And also some sweet new drink coasters, if you’re into that 🍺
Imagine taking a cooler full of provel to Wisconsin. They would ban us from the state
Ooh, do you want us to? Happy to throw some provel in a cooler if you need your fix 🤣
