next time i get on steemit june 09 part 2
(continued from pt 1)
(o i thought they called this blogging ? im just saving it in a textfile lately so i dont have to edit the post 10 times, its not like steemit will get us all that pension fund after the stripmine and its not like anyone seems to be putting in effort to make it go somewhere ... that means "SOMEONE WITH CLOUT" ... you cant push mush when you're trash in the gutter ... even if you were to find someone to take you seriously because you also dont use the right words even if your understanding might surpass them because you wrote hello world before they could spell s-c-e-n-e anyway ... BUT BON, its not like were bitter or whatever, we dont really suffer from IMS
its MENTAL FLAT LINE, wether local doctors beleive that or not, its CHRONIC FATIGUE, wether local doctors say it exists or not, and ITS CHRONIC PAIN , which seems to be simply discarded and
THE KID WAS BORN A BORDERLINE AUTIST (which should have been clear by the kid who stood back against the wall from kindergarten year 1 to the 2 gradeschool year, just observing the humans) but maybe even outside salems lot in those days "THAT DIDNT EXIST" ... and by now due to belgium salems lot and mainly "humans" the catham joker has an acquired personality disorder (because its all not true i guess partially) and WE have become janes ondergrond, which is not a doompatrol metafor at all but the closest one we can find, trying to explain what it is
Would be nice to write a little demo actually again but due to the fact that our non existing conditions leave us with so little time per day ... stuff like "A3" is made on PC in the "primitives only" compo on a sunday afternoon while yawning and stuff like refurbished hallmark is scraped from the code of the jag shmup that will probably not get finished after the via dolorosa of facing umpteenhundred von neumann defying bugs that sometimes get fixed by commenting code that never gets called or dimming an array by 480 instead of 64 (457 worked too) with some altered gfx ... already using the raptor engine via jagstudio, with a few mods to have small parallax fx on the tilemap plugin (it doesnt have that in the engine itself) but stuff like last stand took like somewhat over 30 days as we were trying to set up a multiplexer for the Middlersted game and ended up trying it out into a 64k onefile demo (its 32 but unpacked it uses up pretty much all available space the machine has)
so "one does not simply" do a c64 demo unless you do a sid tune from hvsc with a dithered pic and a scroller and call it "partyscroller" but we have one of those already so
i think we'll just stick to the games and update those as more get to the point of "functional"
our mission statement :
- DO NO PORTS, originals only
- dont do "this is version 1", "this is version THREE, we now have three levels" , only put out functional or better
- .. what was that again, o yea DO NO onehourgamejams, they already do those and its great to keep the machine alive
...stil working on it ... if we can rip you off for a 100 million we WILL do evil but for €100 it doesnt seem worth the trouble but we probably wont put that in it
62820b i wonder if steemit can hold this as "64kb" im quite sure it wont hold 65535 becuase its gonna add stuff when you click the post button
a new group ? Element 54 founded june 6 ???????? with a demo released on june 6 ...
User Comment Submitted by iAN CooG on 7 June 2026 I suspected it but I had to google for confirmation, 54 it's the atomic number of Xenon, to confirm it's just a subgroup of Xenona huh, well they say theres only 4 but they list 6 people in the credits, not a bad little demo, ... those raistlin papers sure have paid off over the years ...
63525b 10:56 im already yawning ofcourse due to the "NU GAAT HET LUKKEN" demented fuck who is trying it AGAIN, it will end up with LESS TIME AGAIN BITCH
yes well, that happens when you're Janes OnderGrond but its quite unnatural to wake up exactly at 9 for days when all you are is tired ... and the mental damage is done, you cant fix broken eggs
HERE : personally i LOVE this kind of shit : Dragonbond by Abyss Connection , ofcourse the comments section shows the nature of "the" scene again somehow as technically this demo is not impressive at all , its not about art its about ... i dunno ... some kind of narcism (with respect) finding that pixel in a hidden place that wasnt adressable yet is more important to most inthere i dont mean that as an insult its just one of the traits of the sub culture PERSONALLY i love that shit ... i think if youre at the edge of the machine theres always an infinite number of stories to be told, ofcourse, handpixeled art takes lots of time and a lot of demos use a mix of older hasbeendone fx with one new quirk ... always thought the future of retro demos was storytelling and comics but it looks like they still found a few pixels that were hidden this year (its 44 now?) made with a tool for handmakers : https://github.com/Hammarberg/pixcen that alone deserves superpoints, could have been a bit longer but probably the compo has a max of 3 disks or something so you cant use full shoeboxes, .d81s or 4megabyte magicdesk images
65117 bytes im gonna try to post this the rest will have to wait for later
11:12 ... my alarm clock will ring soon anyway so i dont oversleep TOO long , but that would be closer to the normal hour so i can get at least some lawn or something done which certainly wont happen today
well it said 65280 bytes but it wouldnt post at 65270 so i cut it up and will be looking for the magic number ...
if anyone doesnt like this, then dont read it, if you pay me $100 ill have some chatbot look up an article on some forgotten artist and post that instead ... gud ?
not gud ?
ook goed ...
