trip down memory lane, i think someone actually stopped trying for a moment and let those fingers run free without thinking and out came a demo just for the love of coding that old machine that never died.

Oldskool Guide by Genesis Project

almost everything id like to say after watching it is in the scrolltext at the end so those whom it might concern read that

the flipcoin has been very biased to program 64 lately id almost replaced it because it started feeling weighted ... i think this week we'll leave it to gestate but im gonna stay offline mostly anyway, its not like life has changed much otherwise

notable stuff (in the real world, not that fake thing on tv and youtube ...)

a drive sound for the Atari ST core on the mister fpga

SMS BASIC (!!!!) for the sega master system ... this is pretty rad and awesome stuff , turning a console into a computer ...

i think we dont need to explain how we still believe its the end of the sumerian era and all laws of physics, + energy + human behaviour of the past 10k years predict the resource collapse around 2050 so

i think thats it

o wait :

if someone could get me a map thats JUST FOR THE STE

instead of this https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/atari/Docs/hardware.txt "all machines Atari had in one, just figure out which memory locs are for which one yourself" type

a bit more like this

https://sta.c64.org/cbm64mem.html

including what each bit on each address stands for depending on read or write or (machine state) depending on the computer

that would be nice

---

im sure everyone else has very nice and busy fulfilling lives so everything must be great

---

offline is the place to be

---

Hmm praise be to the mental flatline ... 5 otherwise breakdowns later ...

this is nice :

so far my c64 and atari STe seem to be unaffected

It has been brought to our attention that, despite microsofts biggest buy ever being blizzard at a sloppy 80 billion (with a small tuppence of 100 million for Bobby "the demon of selling out your crew" Kotick) and Zenimax (bethesda ... ? no ?? SKYRIM ??? okay FALLOUT ??? uhuh) for a small 10 billion (probably the spare change from the year before) on which the EU already had to make some kind of decision which got successfullty bought out by Satellius because i havent heard anything about that afterwards

people still think its just games

other than cocaine, heroin, and news , entertainment might well be the biggest

and due to the datacenters closing in on the cement industry when it comes to footprints

start taking it seriously

BESIDES ...

they had debates about 10 - 15 years about the curvature of bananas ...

it still doesnt beat "jews shot santa from space with lasers"

the americans still hold the monty python flag there but

...

i wish (again) they woulda let the kid do with that little computer (which wasnt "working") in the 80s
but you'll never get anywhere with that

even generations after IT here was more or less bookkeeping and working with office

...

but i dont think i need to express my love for this country and het gatste gat in gatland more than i already have

i was gonna game some, so far i succeeded in about 20 minutes, and im still waiting for a meteor to strike because i was uninterrupted for all that time

---

hoooo and the beat dont stop :

getting a GX4000 core

https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=9261

and a mac2 ?

https://discord.com/channels/647909397477195803/1466808873485598833/1502099277537874055

never was interested in macs (not even the burgers) because they were more like for yuppies who got it with daddy money and didnt know the sharp end of a screwdriver from the blunt end of a hammer (and i bet still today) but having these cores in the soapbox sized museum is ALWAYS GREAT ...

if i repeat myself its possible tho i have tested , im not going demented yet, im just more etheric as time goes by, i used to be an egg

they broke it

then fixed it with maslows neanderthal hammer

then it was eggshell shards with yolk coming out

so they fixed it some more

then it was eggshell bits with no more yolk in it

so they fixed it some more, KEEP HAMMERING THAT BRUISE UNTIL IT RUNS AWAYS, if all you have is maslows neanderthal hammer what else are you gonna do, if i were jesus id be something about meek and they dont know what theyre doing but

DO I LOOK LIKE FUCKING JESUS TO YOU

so they fixed it some more

shell dust

and more

egg particles

and more, im like a hole in the universe now, thats how dispersed i am, eerie has been an egg-dust spread across several dimensions, i go right through me

im unstuck in time

but i dont seem to be going demented yet

my leet acme adventures support my theory

---

yea, but i probably edit this post more as i go over backlog, due to having no income im pretty fast through the youtube part since everything thats about "something you can buy" i can just skip ... that save about 99% time there

thats too bad, the good thing is since we are a stranded alien who saw the future from a nearby galaxy in a future far away we got some scrap metal and the original mister , so i push update-all and i get like all these retro computers in that box, right

for free, right, it HAS to be, i mean i CANT EVEN BUY miracle boy, the best ST game in over 20 years i bet

unless someone bought my game on itch 3 times (i would be inclined to spend it back because unless its the proverbial (literal) 100 needed million euros declaring small bits (YOU HAVE TO, ITS BELGIUM TRUST ME THE IRS HAS THE POWER TO SEE ALL YOUR PHONE AND ALL BANK AND ALL RECORDS WITHOUT A WARRANT they got like stasi level access here, YOU CAN LOOK THAT UP IF YOU WANT)
is just too much and i bet they round it so selling a game for 1 takes 60 cents but they dont do cents so thats a euro (get it ?)

...

so back when steemit was a thing we already addressed some witnesses that they should have a cooldown period before posts get locked in the chain instead of keeping every edit

but the guy back then said Ned Scott (the boss back then after Larrimer bailed .. who has a reputation for that i learned later) who allegedly had had a job at the fucking NSA before, wanted to KEEP ALL EDITS IN CASE OF AN AUDIT

there's your personal blockchains origin ... im sure the post must be on it somewhere

since its an immutable ledger

(now we all know by now you can re-stream a chain and leave out the blocks you dont want but you would have separete chain, not just a fork but in essence thats not even rocket science)

and so ... its already that time huh

uhuh, neo geo popped out a neo geo thats like the old neo geo, MEGA NEWS IN RETRO LAND , however ....

if it were an Atari Falcon id be like OMG I GOTTA ROB SOMEONE but i have no emotional connection to that, other than a friend who had one back when

that thing cost ass and tits , at a normal factory wage one game cart would set you back around a quarter of your monthly income

but we DID play art of fighting a dam' whole lot (i think the other two games he had were Andro Dunos and (belive it or not on a neo geo !) : tetris ... (2 player version))

AOF is the best really no one in the circles back then was much of a streetfighter (some were on week-ends though but thats another matter ...) everyone just had it in for Tekken, tekken 1,2,3,4 tag tournament ... HOURS AND WEEKS A£ND MONTHS, countless pass the controller days, winner keeps the winning pad, loser passes the controller ...

but we DID play quite some AOF .. maybe just CUZ it was "that one neo geo game" when the console was on loan from the dude and

back then you had stuff like game mania where you could RENT games ... yea even in belgium they had that for a few years

probably still the only neo geo game i boot sometimes on mame and such

RYO SAKAZAKI ...

if this is my 9th life that must have been my 5th or so ... those werent too bad days really

concerts, "the cockpit" the sherwood, cherry moon

the notorious mushroom (got closed due to a stabbing)

THERE ARE NO DRUGS ON THE SCENE OFFICER ... actuall cops would warn places like the kings the week-end before a razzia

so the only ones that got caught were "strangers" from outside the city region (the place was well know ... for some reason heh ...)

17-18 ... early 20s till later 20s so ... yea that must have been the 5th life but it could have been the 7th

honestly i think at that time and the late 80s belgiums biggest export product was XTC (certainly not chocolates) so it wasnt that special, i remember those little pills go for 50 cents or co at some time ...

crazy

but those werent too bad days ... MUCH TO MY SURPRISE I HEARD LAST YEAR "theres cocain in the harbour of antwerp" and this year THERES EVEN CRACK IN BELGIUM (they showed that with an image of a syringe btw, the crack news)

so when i was 17 i must have dreamt all those guys (didnt touch that stuff - i think i musta been past 30 when i first touched a whiff of cocaine

and yet ...

all working class now mums and dads made nothing of it

and back before that the cops wouldnt even stop if the whole terrace was blowing so much smoke there was a green cloud across teh parking lot, too much paperwork

and

i got two panels here , 420 watts each but due to it being belgium i had to mount them on the roof of an old shed under a tree

bought then back when covid and everyone was gonna have no electricity anymore . Learned how to install a PV (its actually far from rocket science) that way, 9mm cables and 1.2mm for the short ones too (why not, its not needed but why not) MC5 connectors, you could probably lay those cables under a riverbed and it still wouldnt be a problem, shoved them in a PVC tube and now

in midsummer i have about 120 watts for 1.5 hours

:)

and two months later covid was gone from the planet

remember ???

its definitely time but i think im throught the youtube log

excelsior !!

thing is, knowing what i know from what i picked up putting that together, some low solid material bats , inverter and all that, IF THIS WERENT BELGIUM

and i had income tho back then i had some left - i would have bought a lot and made a fence out of them, put them instead of the windows in some rooms too, linked it all together with some fuses and Bob's my trans aunt for the day, there's a pv on the roof

effectively all summer the counter goes backwards but in belgium you have to put your power on the grid

then they deliver it back to you (VAT + ofcourse) for a small fee (no one believes me when i talk about belgium ever) and transport cost (i see Reddy Kilowatt driving that truck of electricity around the country there) so the bill is at least €200 while actually there's a SURPLUS from april to september at least

so the small practice stuff i have, would need to be connected to the GRID if i actually used it for anything but practice (it makes for a great replacement roof on the shed though, watertight, hailproof, weather resistant, withstands hot summers and freezing winters ! )

and so it isnt connected most of the time

at best during summer i connect DC fans to it and they blow from dawn til dusk, its like a chicken-clock (no need for the inverter that way) and the bats at full can hold the old fridge for 48 hours and certainly run a steam deck during black outs

i shoulda dug a nuclear shelter ...

probably ...

in case the russians keep advancing and stand here in 125 years at the borders of brussels at that pace

....

JEEEZES

how could i possibly end HERE ?

it must be a curse, i thought long and hard

the passport shows its sabotage but the rest over the course of decades

ITS A CURSE, its like the swamp of mordor dragging you back

once you set foot in this place

it never lets you go

... BON

im sure television will say otherwise

so everyone believes what they need to to stay sane or something BUT

dont come tell ME how things work ... dont come tell ME how the world works and dont come tell ME how its done

one look out the window i see YOUR world

"so THAT is how its done?"

i beg to differ
