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.

He's not in it.

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'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.

Here's some games I played for the first time this year in a list.

And also some movies I watched in the last third of the year.

Crimbo.

The Vega Route has begun actual development.

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.

This should be the last of the serious issues with the Vega Route. I'd at least hope it would be, anyways.
