The "Balance Update" is canceled. Here's a rough adaptation of the content aspect as compensation.

Not much of a gamechanger, but there's some extra fights here and there if you ever decide to replay this for whatever reason.

The new endings are really more of a "fancy game over" than anything super complicated, but I had the idea and felt like doing it.

I've been trying to do this for literal years.

My hands were numb by the end (although part of that was because of some videos I was half watching at the same time)

Now I can play Nuclear Throne like a normal person! I NEVER have to do this again!

Now the questionably enjoyable trial of will that is the Joyed Vega Ending is more consistently questionably enjoyable!

Also I changed my mind on how I wanted to handle Fatty's recruitment on the new route. It's the same method, but it's a bit easier now.

Crimbo.

Here's a vaguely defined list of all the games I played in 2025.

I'd also like to mention Fool Time, the recent Jon Bois miniseries about the telegraph, as an honorary "Highlight of the Year."

It's an honorary mention since Fool Time isn't a video game.

Started working on a thing.

No idea if it's ever going to get finished (it's still mostly concepts at the moment) but I've been playing around with this idea in my head for a while now, so I felt like bringing it up.

Anyways, here's front facing Buckets.

Labor Day.

I was done MOST of this a while ago, but I've been focusing on another project for the most part so it took until now to actually finish (even if it's not that big of an update).

I'm actually pretty proud of this one. A few of the ideas I've implemented for this (including this update's name!) have been my plans for months now. Glad to see it all come together.

Hope you enjoy experiencing this as much as I've enjoyed creating it.
