Hey Patrons! Here's a recap of today's stream for those who missed it.

The results of the 2025/2026 GaMetal Song Ballot have been revealed! Here's a quick rundown of some of the top voted songs:

It would appear having a separate section on the ballot for individual popularly requested series led to some interesting diversification of the main vote. While there were still a couple of familiar series in the top 10 (Deltarune, Kirby), we had some games/songs break into the top that may not have otherwise in Clair Obscur, GaMeTerraria, Touhou, Antonblast, and Silksong.

A full breakdown of the 2025/2026 Ballot Results can be viewed here. Note that you can view the breakdown of the individual series votes in the "Extras" tab at the bottom. Final shoutout to Revolver who put this breakdown together for us!

As for today's monthly Patreon Request List stream pick, the song chosen was:

Chased by the Knaaren from Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, from the list of Thaddeus! A bit of an oddball pick here, but we'll turn it into something even more awesome. 😎

For this month's handpick, I've decided to begin preparations for the end of 2025 lineup... we just got a really short song added to the to-do list, so how about something a little longer?

Maybe something a bit... unexpected:

After years of Patron requests and remaining the series' strongest ballot soldier (BARELY missing the top 10 this year at #11), Pizza Tower's Unexpectancy is finally coming to the channel as part of the 2025 end-of-year lineup! This is currently on SIX Patron lists (Account #4, Buttertoast64, Jazz, GaMetal Sans Discord Ballot #2, Josh Point Zero, and Matthew Bankey), and has been on a few other since-changed Patron lists over time.

(Note: currently not planning for this to be the finale!)

That's all for now, thanks to everyone who showed up and hung out today, we heard a lot of great songs and many of them I plan to get through over the next several months. Till then, I'll see you in the next post! 😃
