Sorry for not uploading that much lately. I know it's only been 3 months, but it's felt longer to me for some reason. After my last video, my channel inconveniently started underperforming right before it reached its monetization goal of getting 4000 watch hours in the last 365 days (it used to be 3945 hours, but now it's 3500 hours), which made my motivation fall off a little. I did manage to finish making three remixes during December, but I ended up submitting them to a winter-themed megamix rather than uploading them to my channel since I didn't feel like making them into videos. (if you want to check out those remixes, check the timestamps containing my channel name from the description of this video:    • VGM Winter Megamix 2024  )

On the subject of Mindwave, I was really excited to see an ambitious indie game take inspiration from the WarioWare series. The demo was really fun and the game had some really great visuals and music. I also thought it did a great job of providing a fresh and modern feel to WarioWare-style gameplay. I do have some gripes about some aspects of the game, tho I'll keep those thoughts to myself since I don't want to go full-on critic mode in the description of my "Although the Sky" remix video lol.

Speaking of "Although the Sky", it's a song that I don't particularly have a strong opinion of. Not to say it's bad, it's obviously a very well-made song. But for me, it kinda lacks the oomph of songs I really like. tho I did expect a lot of other people to like this song much more than I did (which I'm judging by the almost-million views the song has on YouTube). which gave me some incentive to remix this song since I figured it'd make some people happy and would help my channel out a bit,

also, one more thing, if you like the art I used for this video, please consider casting a vote for it in the official mindwave fanart contest! The artist, sumpy, was picked as a contestant and is competing with 49 other artists. if you want sumpy to win a top-five spot, vote for their fanart in this google form:

Midi Sequencers: Deni and LuminousVale (just to be clear we didn't collab. this remix is heavily based on Deni's midi file. I made my own midi of the song before they did. after deni's midi came out, I opted to use their midi since it was way better than what I made. tho I ended up using some parts from my midi, which is why I'm crediting myself :P)
