Am I gonna recognize you right away by your name? If you're a demoscener, likely, or you're from one of my past lives.

If not, You _gots_ to give me a reason why you wanna follow.

@ne7

Would you happen to have the _amiga_ version of mOsOul ? I can't seem to find it (:

Got the other important ones (b-strict and b-struct even (: )

@drslem

It looks very good live as well (:

It's #demosunday and I have returned from 68k inside and cannot share the winning Amiga demo from Revision just yet, as it's not up. This staement will make sense later.

Here is some SQNY:

@lea @sarajw

Yes. That's the whole reason to make demos.

Sure, some folks obsess over some things. People obsess over lots of things. For some people, that's fun. For people who don't obsess over those things, it's important that they have fun also.

I think the community has managed to 'grow up' enough where that's possible, while still having the whole 'childlike joy' of making something/seeing something.

One last thing ... or... one more thing, as I notice various folks liking these who may have, during the 90's (and definately in the 80's) been shunned/actively told to go away by closeminded male teenagers:

Yes, we're more open to ladies, enby, trans, gay, and even folks of color - though we're rather weak on the latter - BUT:
Like any microcosm of the overall planet, there are folks who still have issues with change - but there are far more of us who don't have issues and very much encourage _everyone_ to be involved. It's a great hobby.

This does NOT mean you're not welcome if you fit into (or don't) those categories. Some folks will suggest that, as everywhere. And when you have no more spoons for that sort of thing, well... those of us who would like to see more participation from all types of people (except fascists, racists, and other malignant types) would say "take the time you need but don't leave. You HAVE support."

@sarajw

But let's just ... here's the Meteoriks, our yearly celebration of the demoscene (from demosceners.)

meteoriks.org

Now, this isn't ALL the joy from the demoscene each year, it's a selection. But it's very much a "If you don't have a lot of time, here is a good selection to start from." And also "If you have time for just one, here's a reccomendation for this category."

#demosunday (ok it's not sunday.)

2025-05-23

@sarajw It... might, though I honestly am spending less time on fedi these days because quite frankly, the amount of "not joy" that exists these days just overflows into everything and it gets a bit much.

HOWEVER, I should do more posts for demosunday, and, well, yeah. Post more 'joy' about the scene to help ruduce the "not joy" ...

2025-05-23

@sarajw

or perhaps:
Would you like a tour of the current demoscene by someone who enjoys talking about it, is involved, and knows a lot of people and areas which he'd love to point you to if you're so inclined

OR

Would you like to be thrown into the deep end of the demoscene (today, tommorrow, yesterday) and fend for yourself?

OR

A combination of both?

(This offer extends to anyone, not just Sarayjw.)

Also, do yell at Truck to post more demosunday hashtags. So you can see other demos. Of all types.

2025-05-23

@sarajw

You rang?

(About the demoscene: What would you like to know? Recent productions? Upcoming parties? Which it has been certified as cultural heritage by UNESCO? Is it more welcoming to ladies and non-males than it was? Can Amiga sceners be in the same room as Atari sceners having sensible conversations? What can I see on a week to week basis? How can I participate? etc?)

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.

There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.

"Curious. What ritual is this?"

"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"

"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

@proteque

I don't know. He's still not about.

I've been talking with various people about it and the codebase ... just needs to be... it's just got things in it that many folks who I speak to agree with me on - it's just got things in it that make absolutely NO sense.

PERHAPS a fixed version that is slightly better for development will be made, but someone else I've spoken to has another project they're working on in a similar vein, tho they, like me, have too many projects and can't spend all their time on the projects due to "work" and other things (:

anyway. I needed something from this thread so that's why I'm digging it out of the ancient tomes of fedi (:
