Love how most of the comments are all "here's something that's different/better than what you shared" instead of appreciation. Show HN should be motivating instead of one-upmanship.

I browsed the website but I could not find a simple url I can put into my radio player. It appears the only way to listen is either on the website or twitch[.].tv which seems to defeat the point of a radio stream.

I was able to extract the audio URL track via yt-dlp. Ifyou also add ffmpeg, a FIFO and soco-cli in the mix I was able to play it back on my Sonos speaker, although I had to jump a lot of hoops to curb the HLS stream into a standard shoutcast/icecast URL stream. All of that to end into a bland chiptunes radio, not worth all that effort

Are there any music festivals for chiptune? Something like Bonaroo but computer music, or the closest thing because I don't think something like this actually exists

There was Blip Festival in New York, 15 to 20 years ago. As I had family in the area, I went to most of them.

After Blip Festival NY stopped, there were some other festivals and festival-ish events in other cities that were not as convenient to me, so I stopped following as closely.
