90% of the time I know what I want to listen to.

The other 10% of the time I will listen to new things I've squirreled away in my personal listening queue, because the art was interesting, I've heard good things, or I randomly heard a song I like. Sometimes recommendations from friends will make it into that queue.

Random mixes, not usually. I'm far too picky. But there are niche subgenre mixes that can be good.

Are there any consistent flaws with the songs I write, or just anything I could improve on in general?

Chiptune is hard to critique because of the self-imposed limitations.

Your best bet is to use reference tracks. Pick a song you like by an established artist that sounds similar to what you want to make, drag it into your DAW, and compare your decisions against that song each step of the way. Music production is a bunch of different skills that can be practiced and improved, and a reference track can give you a clear goal for each of them.
