like @Airwolf_C64 , unrelentless with no regard for "what people want" :p
just a short pick on the celebration of 256 bytes that are 40 years old (moving for 41!!!!) apparently for demo-machines, life DOES begin past 30 ... sadly, we can testify for entities stuck i
And then you have the non-believers ... heretics one and all joining up against a global religion (whose artifacts are getting rare and fake relics getting more and more pretending)
riddle me this, batman
40 years later, after a charset was born, 256 bytes in all - people are still having PETs ... and its not like its all remakes of old PETs is it ?
just how far can you push 2048 ones and zeroes ?
Compared to stuff like rossdraws (just naming something) probably a lot of disneyland people go like o but thats so crude, my half a million dollar of gear can do so much better here
Ask thyself , what can i do with 2048 ones and zeroes given shape into one set of characters, including the alphabet and some more obscure signs ?
If you wanna find out, you dont even need a machine, you dont need vice, you can just get Petmate (or similar) and with no regard for memory limits start prodding an animated gif
now the first intro is 4k (4096 bytes)
it stands out in its complex simplicity
the others show more what you can do with 2048 ones and zeroes in 16 colors with pixels 8pixels wide and high
you CAN
get petmate, try to come up with something thats AT LEAST as gud as any of these
you wont get it in 64kb on an animated gif
you certainly wont get it in 4k (4kb)
but you can, if you think , ah MEH thats childsplay
DO IT :)
we suppose all of these were released at Fjalldata 2023 where the main theme (surprisingly) seems to have been snow effects (wonder why ...)
et thus
dozo
as the world turns
finland has been prepping for decades btw, WITH government support for that matter
this is not america
europe isnt even europe actually
you wouldnt understand
well yes, somewhat in dubio if the first 1 is 100% pure petsci but it wouldnt surprise me if it is, people seem to have gotten down bad with the artform , in finland they even had exhibitions in galleries and musea we thinks last year
...
seems to be mostly northwest eurotrash territory tho (still)
maybe because ...
well who cares why
its amazing by itself what you can do in 4000 bytes, its more amazing that after 40 years the machine has more groupies than Manson
suck pet and die, Crotter
oh
or you could try a still
just one frame of petscii, made in petmate, export as JPG, no need to encode it
O WAIt, you can save it as .prg and then go "CHECK MY ONEFILE" (lol no offence we kinda know who wouldnt)
but you can and its not about you should
you should do what you do
but its to the commentators
you know the kind on youtube, who never creates but has something to say about EVERYONE and everything ?
sitting in a room full of $kk equipment (probably in a house thats falling apart)
?
mhhh
ars gratia artis
sponsorless like linux tech tips soon (lol no offense but you know here in the gravelpits ... o first of all : name one belgian youtuber making bread online off the top of your hat, you got 5 seconds ... name one belgian billionnaire off the top of your hat ... one company that rings ... ???? okay then, you know what they say in the gravelpits here : "GET A REAL JOB, REAL MEN WORK WITH THEIR HANDS ...")
always thought living in a place thats statistically know for alcoholism and domestic violence more than the grey zones of poland (of niet soms?)
thats fucking precious
like someone going "just following orders" after they rekt a town full of women and children
but ... o wait, wrong track
hey, if you think this is easy childsplay, give it a try
google petmate
its an artform thats now 40 years old and seems to be living on
thats what it is, as original as patrick rubinstein
hand crafted
with 2048 ones and zeroes
praise be (i hear in arkansas no more titties ... you know when we were saying shit starts to look like the handmaids tale ?)
doesnt it ?
no ?
okay
must be our perspective then
