@ferristootsnow Just don't tell any dutch people about your newfound interest in 68060 pOEP sOEP. :-/
@Dozer "The other A3000" (which I didn't even know existed!)
@jope
Ooh, this is relevant to my interests!
πΉ Dan, you know coin-ops, I run a small business and would like some coin-ops in there, how does that happen?
π¦ That depends on the sort of coin-op.
PINBALL
π The whitest man you've ever seen hands you a business card. After mulling it over you call the number and a pinball machine shows up. It develops a fault within three days. Within two weeks you have eight machines and weekly tournaments, during which your bar is full to capacity but nobody buys any beer. Two of these machines work at any given time.
FRUIT MACHINE / GAMBLING
π» A large stranger turns up with a large cabinet. He places it somewhere inconvenient, plugs it in, points at the plug, says "See that? Touch that, you're fucking dead," and leaves. You mind your own business.
JAPANESE RHYTHM GAMES
πΏ These are delivered by a trans woman you met on Discord. She brings five friends to help. Setup takes longer than planned and you want to close and go home. They offer to finish the job and lock up. In the morning they're still updating firmware. Their pizza boxes attract mice. You have to remind them periodically that they're not allowed to sleep here.
ARCADE / VIDEO, GOLDEN AGE
π¨ A man in his fifties asks if you want a Pac-Man. You say sure. Next week there's a Pac-Man, all good. The week after, it glitches out, and he puts in a 60-in-1 emulation board as a temporary measure while he fixes the Pac-Man board. The 60-in-1 brings in way more money. You feel you have to persuade him not to fix the legit board. This discussion becomes far more heated than the situation warrants.
ARCADE / VIDEO, 90's
π These are delivered by a green-haired guy you met on Discord. There's no firmware to update but he still brings five friends and wants to sleep there. The Japanese rhythm games lady is his ex but they're on friendly terms.
CRANE / CLAW PRIZE GAMES
π These are delivered by a big hard-faced woman with places to be, but not so quickly she doesn't pause for a cigarette before unloading the truck. She explains the scam and you would prefer if she hadn't; you feel robbed of your innocence and complicit in something seedy. You ask her to set the payout as high as possible, to soothe your conscience. As she pours cuddly toys from a big black bin bag she tells you people have more fun if it doesn't win as often, but if you really wanted, she could set it to give a toy every time and you would both still make money. She smiles as she says this, and calls you "Honey." You feel dirty.
GUMBALL / BULK VENDING
Scenario 1: π¦ a man in his fifties with a moustache and Willy Wonka energy talks you into a single gumball machine and then two months later you're selling Pokemon cards.
Scenario 2: πΊ a man in his seventies arrives with a small girl in a brown vest. He says πΊ Go on honey, ask. She mumbles something about how her π troupe's raising money and can we please put one of these on the counter please. He says πΊ good job honey. He has a kind and careworn face. Thirty years ago he told a man "Touch that, you're fucking dead."
Zoo 2024 was a ton of fun, it was nice to see old friends and get to know some legends once again. http://csdb.dk/event/?id=3297 #c64 #demoscene
I finally got around to doing this write-up of our Amiga OCS demoscene production "Inside the Machine" that we (DESiRE) released at @deadline_demoparty earlier this month.
Lool, it's a Matt Frequencies take on Variform! Go bump those thumb ups so we may get part 2 as well :D

Gerp 2025: 31st January - 2nd February 2025, Sweden πΈπͺ https://www.demoparty.net/gerp/gerp-2025?mtm_campaign=event_new&mtm_source=mastodon #demoscene #demoparty
This year you can compete in more competitions than ever before!
We split the combined demo into Oldskool and Newschool. Added text mode and 4k executable graphics and so much more!
We kept all the compos we had, for example, last year's popular Black Metal compo.
And since we are letting everyone compete, even if you are not at the venue there are no excuses for few entries.
We are looking forward to your contributions to our competitions!
