This one really means a lot to me since this time I did everything including code (C/C++/assembler), synth code, graphic and music. There is not one sin, cos, addition, multiplication etc. in the synth and graphics engine that I don't understand as well as the placement of each musical note, texture, 3D object, filter setting etc. That is quite the feeling :)
For context: 64k intros in the demoscenen is a competition in which you have an executable no bigger then 64kb that has to fit everything (synth, music, 3d engine, animation etc.) This means that everything you see would fit for example 22 times on an old floppy disc from the eighties. 💾
I have even written my own tracker based DAW for creating the music.
I will release a final version with fixes for AMD cards and some other fixes (better audio mixing and color grading comes to mind) that didn't make it in time for the competition deadline as soon as I have recovered. Almost didn't get any sleep the last three days before the deadline and would not have made it if it wasn't for the support of Sigmund Floyd of FEE1DEAD who helped me flip compiler flags and scan assembler outputs from the compilation in that state to get the size under 64kb. ❤️ So need to recover a bit. :) /cryptic ^ approximate
Nothing but praise but mostly : when the resource collapse IS , and amy sits there asking Siri and siri wont reply ... most of these guys will be ded from age ...
not really when it HAPPENS but after losing jobs by the 10s of millions i doubt many will be inclined to help keep the boss rich
and
lots of them have fallen for the trap ... its like the devil in the mirror, right : YOU are great, YOU can do this , but who actually IS
who IS doing it ?
Anti a.i. ? im totally not anti a.i. but first of all i dont even think that thing is more i than Eliza, its just eliza + google on 2026 search algorithms
i am ANTI removing creative minds and seekers from the genepool ... you will need them hard enough in a few decades i cant wait to see the look on that face that realizes : "the board no longer needs a CEO, the a.i. will do that for you, you are fired, son-of-Kotick"
if you want to convince me :
have the thing win 10 matches of go while disconnected from its datacenter
once it can do that, i'll give you five more
this one is funny for the introscreen alone
if you know what bad apple is or -*nic

showing off the power of the old GBA ... that thing could have SO been a smartphone a hum
well im at page 10 of my pouet demo backlog ... i bet once i get past revision i can skip half of it for not having shots, vids or being 256b or invitations or what i came to call finnish penis demos but that probably sounds like im hacking on finland which is not quite the fact ...
