Too busy melting ...
and stuff ... waiting for the proverbial Godot
and stuff ... the other one is quite the fast download and needs no install on anything from USA-DOS to a raspberry pi 5 ... heres hoping the webmaecenas isnt gonna end up feeling scammed and we can finally try "a website in Godot"
(the free hosting doesnt allow uploads over 10mb and the godot player for web alone is 32)
we'll see....
What caught the attention ?
THIS CERTAINLY :
RGN has taken a different approach since ... some years maybe already ? I bet they're still sponsored somehow, all that kofi and patreon stuff and other but only writes articles as if they are a quality label now
no reporting on crud ... i kinda like it, wether its sponsored or not i havent seen much crud in it since they turned that way
As per us ?
Well i kept saying : if we gonna have a kickstarter well need someone to do that for us because our no-nonsense direct approach is of a kind that drives natpackers away and more ... BUT
if you really feel supportive, instead of all that "support us for the future"
you can simply by a game on itch , pay what you want and leave in the comments : "i bought this because" or "i bought this to support the future project X" or something
then you already get something that works and you can pay whatever you want between 0 and elon musks wallet ...
WE think its a better system, but in reality it just suits us because we suck at sales and discord. Coming from "almost finished social work in college" before they stuck us back here
...some things must have changed , i dont think anyone can go through the years in social work while avoiding humans like the plague and being not able to talk the talk ...
bUT BEM ... next life we'll do it like everyone else : HERES A SCREENSHOT : PLEASE KICKSTART ME 120000DOLLARS, ILL GET BACK TO YOU IN FIVE YEARS , and move to argentina ...
back to the c64 game there , monte boyd is gonna have a time keeping up, but if im not mistaken he is 1 and they are 2 ... which doesnt mean they dont source the music or something to some scener
i THOUGHT i remember on musketeer, i asked on the comments (its the last game i bought on itch before income = 0) and they claimed that all boxart was actually hand painted by some guy ...
ITS POSSIBLE , I WOULD LOVE TO BELIEVE IT LOL, ... authenticity
im not saying i dont but A.I. paranoia gets me on everything these days, fuckers lie about it all the time ... i dont understand why , that must be a normal, sane person thing that is out of our scope
and further ?
ITS BEEN HOT, its been like mid-august before the 4th week of may ... literally ... over 30 degrees and all that
what climate change ?
(what covid btw?)
what resource collapse ?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?
Man, those gfx are almost like NES - level ...
the scene might be at the end of its rope, but the game-scene certainly aint
heh, ofcourse Psytronik has bagged it again, theyre becoming like the microsoft of 64 ... they got all the logistics and connections for hardcopies on carts, tape and disks...
if you got a good enough game i doubt they'll refuse AND
you dont have to sell it yourself HAH HAH
maybe if we get a playable version of middlersted we'll poll them a mail ... assuming they're not the type to pite your idea and put a 20 man team on it to pop it out on their label in six months
PEOPLE WOULD NEVER DO THAT RIGHT ? if only a few 100 or bucks are involved ??
right ... ?
:)
dunno, i dont know them but since they seem to have taken the spot at the summit of release and production house64 they're either supermafia or not that bad in person
Ho man , so warrem, WORREM (how do you rite that throaty r van geint of bruesel ... which isnt the same actually theres a difference but foreigners wont notice ... like american actors spending two years with a voice couch
trying to get that oxbridge accent until theyre convinced in the mirror they nailed it but the first guy from the UK they meet says "oh youre from America huh?"
All cleaning done, laundry, dishes, sa shi bu ri too but considering the elders health .. well well see when they get back
made lots of backups, checked lots of drives ... and hosting providers ...
mowed the lawn
had some smalltalk with the neighbour about this and that, and the small piece of Flint-Michigan developing on the corner across the street ...speculation about but i think we can assume at least one thing that will ahve happnd
So where are MY gelijke kansen in that case ?
hmm, i see... 20 years ago ... 25 huh already "they need it more than you" and i could just go out and lose the appartment instead of "heres 3 months help until you find a job or something"
bon lets not get started about that or else im gonna get isms thrown at my head een though im just talking about a personal experience with this fabulous place and i dont see any -isms or names inthere
What next ?
... melting..tomorrow even hotter, FRIDAY CLOUDY AND EVEN HOTTER THAN TOMORROW, im gona sit in the bathtub all day
if i sit in the guilded cage, on money for the doctor gotten from the old folks as if i were 12 and i look like im doing okay
.... consider the 25 years that came before this and keep 2 miles distance so i dont catch your thoughts
AAnd
watching up some demos and
.. actually, who cares
demos
hm, my little friends sit waiting at the stairs for 30 minutes then clearly wants me to go outside with him... there he drops in the grass and jumps me and then runs off to the side ... no clue what that was about
oh
im a bit confused here, it says for oscilloscope but has an .exe (which sounds like windows) and references no specific hardware
looks pretty good tho
whah
For a 4k (4096 bytes ... actual size ... its a bit strange at all, because the unpacked size will be more but thats how they came to see it over the years, personally if we would do big parties 4k would be 4k unpacked ..
but bem, it remains impressive nonetheless ... for reference a TIC-80 has a maximum of 65535 bytes as a program if im not mistaken, (= 64kb) BUT that actually is the syntax , meaning your brackets and point-virgules in javeasctip
count as a byte, your NEWLINE (pressing enter) counts as a byte and so on, so the more readable your code, the less you can have of it :) uncle bobs nightmare lol (WE LIKE UNCLE BOB OKAY, THE MAN HAS ALWAYS DONE THE LORDS WORK
teaching the illiterate to actually write something because its too hard by forcing structure) ... so im not sure what the preferred lng is since for instance lua doesnt care much about whitespaces and doesnt have brackets either that i know of
or semicolons (the thing is : in javascript normally you end with a semicolon BUT you also press enter (you dont HAVE TO but you do or you get a mile long line of text thats off the screen) so you get TWO
those no-delimit languages for people who cant read like python (... well i think python is probably great for arduinos and home automation and wht not but i wish they wouldnt forcefully cram it in my OS , i can NOT belive
that benfits performance) ALSO USE A NEW LINE , AAA - AAND , every tab is a byte (if you tab in a TIC-80 it will advance one "space" so pythonwise by the time your 3 nests deep you would be 4spaces to the right BUT since
you have 65535 bytes total FOR YOUR SCRIPTING code you kinda dont wanna do that)
for people who dont like Claude hah hah hah
Šichta by ddlblue
im not a groupie scener but i cant shake the feeling ive been seeing lots of names i havent ... so they're either new or returning after "having a life" (...) because i had a life too once ... morelike seven , and other than this half-life
another no-life at least ... so im probably on my last one.
o here's a good one
the legendary ProTracker v 2.3 FC lha , FINALLY a reason to boot that amiga core on my mister FPGA (hurrhurr, i like seeing amiga cultists jump because someone spoke its name in vain)
tbh im not tribal but my hometurf machines are the C64 first and the Atari ST second (which makes me an outcast on both sides already as i can only pick one of those to worship and sacrifice virgins to by the standing laws of retro-cultism)
because i have an emotional connection to them and that is that, im Amiga-curious i admit but since i have so much stuff i WANNA do and due to my non-existent conditions so very little time in a day left next to eating sleeping , ... excr-eating and STILL TAKING SHOWERS AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS YEA MAN !
like a boss
... i dont really get to it, i got all the goodies on the mister, the amigavision desktop on the A1200 is top, i got redpill, it comes with amos, i got scorpion somewhere, i have protracker for the STE so i know it
... BUT
i just havent gotten to it ... , i would need my 20 hour days back for that and if i had those i probably would be making money robbing people or doing business anyway.
TOUGH ...
LIFE IS SHIT
then its shitter
then .. i have no idea what then
i know i knew when there was no future and i know we SAW the future BUT
observers paradox as we call it : you can see the whole observable universe EXCEPT THE PLACE WHERE YOU STAND
so i havent seen mine, only the future of the world but since they stuck me IN IT , and of all places here, we can extrapolate somewhat
add non-existent conditions that sadly have a real impact on real life
we can speculate from there to a certain degree of certainty :
conclusion : high probability
that
its
fucked ...
And i thought like "Hm, cables? after a minute, because if you wrote your own engine im gonna have to be impressed, otherwise im gonna have to be GREAT animation ...." maybe, .. but they'll get the difference im sure
but its TIXL ( https://tixl.app/ ) .. which isnt cables but TIXL ( ...) its still not a given that you'll pop out something like this in five minutes btw but like Godot to games it probably takes the load off. Just like those amiga cores
(for programming) these things are "on the list" but i just never get to it between the c64, the ST and those fantasy consoles and linux and whatever, websites, php, javas CSS ... actually sizecoded CSS written in php
... i got on that for a few weeks like "512b" of php = this in CSS (with no javascript to it as a rule ...i only compete us right, and we only compete me, theres nothing to prove to anyone but ourselves here, we are very weird)
... 512b of php CAN do something, and im sure a competitive scener could get more out of it, 256b gets harder to do something thats at least a bit snazzy i think 1024 would be the standard more or less .. you can do a TON
with "just css" really, if you add "can use javascript" to your 1024b php-generated page you could ofcourse do MORE but the thing is in the cant
it was kinda interesting for a bit ... but then i saw a stringy and my inner cat went off to another dimension
and ofcourse, browsers are HOGS, maybe you can write something flashy in 512 or 1024 bytes of php script (;s included ofcourse), you write it in one line because a newline is a byte, just like the TIC code
BUT the more moving parts the heavier it gets and it doesnt seem optimized to run strictly animated CSS ... for the better stuff, youd need more than a pi , but these things in tool or what else exports to online javascrtipt
theycn need some pretty beefy pcs too
im typing this in the raspberry pi (xed?) editor so the bottom line always gets hidden by the scroller. The display port on the other machine gave out and my eyesight is too bad to use that small VGA screen, the computer works FINE
still but due to screensize its no good for programming anymore , i intend to swap it for headless home assistant and use the raspberry pi running HA os atm instead of this one because that one has one of those whatchu call that
NVM drives ?
instead of an sd card so its faster in some aspects
WELL
i saw the future i told you so we prepared ... if i out-program everything i have here before i die i will grow to be quite old ... and considering the non existing conditions, even if they get worse somehow, ...
i always think, while CAT-bro is lying on one arm and i have to do ACME with five fingers on a keyboard and mouse
"hawking could do that with less"
kinda hoping i dont deteriorate THAT far ..
but it could be parkinsons, like my uncle at 63 or my cousin at 60 ...
if it exists
it runs in the family
we have options
WHAT time, ah that backup
...
(o its called blogging or something i dont know what they cll it today and i think youre supposed to do it in five seconds in a tiktok video but we are oldskool, right)
the only thing i ever did in five seconds was my GF when she was SO hot i couldnt help myself
today it seems to be the norm
pity those wives heheh ... good thing they have toys today ..... OOO lalalala , what ?
ah that backup, yea
those movies with the hackers who transfer a data center to an sd card in 19 seconds because at 20 the guard dogs come in ?
i wish i had an sd card like that ...
ah time time piece of time
Bad nipple by Schaedelproduktion & 0dayFarezLiGHT , this one is full of references and remixes an ultra-classic to a GB (a?)
The heat is terrible for may ;. i wonder how many forest fires have already gone on, dislodged from the world as we are due to having no vested interest in it anymore , pretty clueless there.
Life in the 8 to 16 bit dimension is still doable ... everything outside is nothing we can help anyway AND
physics and thermodynamics, human behaviour, do i REALLY need to end with our firm belief in the end of the sumerian era and that resource collapse they were TEACHING ABOUT IN HISCHOOL WHEN I WAS 17 ???
tomorrows gonna be even hotter, glad i mowed the lawn up front and the house is too clean to attract flies ... the rats are everywhere outside, i can hear them at night in the garden and the neighbours ... this use d to be a place
full of cats
in the 80s ... 90S ... never seen one rat here back then (xept the kind that cops you out but the kid was too young for all of that back then)
so despite everything
and seven lives and trying so hard
here we are
same room
same computers
same 8 to 16 bit dimension, if anyone told me that i would have laughed or smacked them
haa yea, see what the mail says at 8, that makes it 48 hours
BE HONEST, any ict company in 2026 can set up a set in 48 hours, right ?
but this is belgium ofcourse ... pfffffff and my brain has melted
im gonna prepare for first cycle, if i had some chains id sleep in a half full bath tub tonight
dont read between the lines
read between the vids ...
wow 2 days ago hmm took me that long to read it eh :)))
chains eh sounds kinda kinky ....
