Our Intro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights. Our Outro Music is Malo Mart, from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Game Cube and Wii, composed by Tōru Minegishi, Asuka Hayazaki, and/or Kōji Kondō. 

 

Our final (of three – plus two Archive Super Bonuses) to be produced [at least partially] in Microsoft Windows – on the new Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 gaming laptop [shipped with Windows]. Also partially produced in Fedora Linux – on "Stickers" (the old primary laptop). Now that I've completed these productions on the ROG, I can finally flash it with Linux (probably also Fedora, or else possibly the Fedora-based Nobara, since this is a gaming laptop after all) and resume my life as a Linux-Exclusive user and producer. Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!
