And they asketh, where thy content and we sayeth : why dont you ask THEM how many of theirs is written with chatGPT ?
And they sayeth : thats not the same, and we replieth : "oh" ?
And we stick to it , reporting and fanbased promotion is better buzz than ads on facebook b/c you know ppl send thru stuff they like, not stuff they get paid for (not that we hate money, we just hate taking it up the ass ... its a HUGE problem in this fabulous world you created)
And so :: do what you like , you'll like it more and probably do it better since you do
If the worst word against pig quest is difficulty ? No one here remembers complaining you had to re-do wonderboy "a few" times before you hit boss-level and pwned it. It must be the plastic in the water, the ecosystem and subsequently everything that spawns from it that makes it all soft and pliable and "i made a game thats easy so everyone can enjoy it - well frankly my dear : i never like farmville and i think i speak for all of us. If anything's the problem it might be the lack of games that keep you coming back and actually frustrate you b/c they wont let you have it for free.
Or maybe thats just growing up in the gravelpits and east-flanders drukkerland fatalism, which we grew over but in the end you live in dreckland or the frozen wastes, its somewhat of a fenotype ... makes it easy to pick out the americans in the room b/c they're shining while the earth rips open under their feet while you were at the side expecting nothing
that way you dont get disappointed
And ...
(not to mention the amount of 20francs and before that 5x2 i suppose that went into arcade cabinets for Yie Ar Kung fu , kung fu master(thomas), vigilante, double dragon, road blasters and on the seaside that ultimate animated thing like dirk the daring or space ace where one guy out of 200 in the hall drops one piece into it and finishes it like with one hand while talking to everyone else with half an eye explaining and this and this now that and such)
no one complained it was too hard, they just kept pumping coins into it, another nice way on "how crotter slowly kills itself"
probably nice if you see the 50k layoffs (big ones counted only) in one week who probably get replaced by lvl 3 chatbots and now will be charged for the service while having no income, download a movie for free
and then get sentenced
b/c the judges have time b/c the A.I. does the rest and
then have no money to pay the fine , all b/c crotter sacked them in the first place but
o we go diverging , i see, well its us , and we are divergent from the norm anyway. Since birth, but we werent always like this, but we were definitely always "not norm"-al to begin with. Thats a fact we fully understand now, sadly in salems lot
"insert ice-T quote here"
But whats most amazing there : not only "after 40 years the machine is alive and kicking (as much as i would love to like amigas but no one will send us one ... DUH! amigas cant say that (hah hah hah) and a game like pig quest here shows just HOW alive it still is, it looks worse than Cyberpunk 2150 with RTX at 4K (tho that is debatable since no pigs were harmed for the motion capture of this game, RTX is always on by default AND you can not not have 50fps ... thats a 1980s design for ya then .. sapients just have devolved (and are as we are speaking)
but the fact that these things are PAID downloads and the bigger fact that these things sell PHYSICAL CARTRIDGES ...
thats "old men iin new cars for ya - they certainly dont need daddy money to pay for it"
miCrooter could suck carrots for 40 years and still not have an xbox people pay for after all that time
or could it ? (no it cant)
(the gfx ARE pretty amazing for the system let me tell ya and if you ever wrote something in basic (what pc comes with a programming language embedded in its hardware btw ? ... its too hard probably ) you would understand the magnificence a little probably
As for the rest : if its of intrest check it out, if its not the check it out to see what it is out of curiosity and if you're like "thats not chatgpt trending" then maybe dont (or something) the other perk here is you're getting an audience thats not in their teens mostly and is very likely not to consider 8 bit 1 pixel nippels nsfw either so you get a bit o' leeway with the jokes, puns and content too
whats not to like ?
We have no intention of reviewing the reviewers roundup review , but we do wanna spread the word as we said : its time for #ourstuff now , the rest of the world can mange brioche b/c it seems to be hellbent on imploding
CHECK IT OUT :p
Well why keep a long story short, ask a London skinhead on UNITED and they'll keep you chatted up for a day and a half too, whats the difference ?
well says who we are not gaming hooligans lol
(actually we dont really take it all that, tho we used to play unreal tournament a long time , and quake for a while with guys who ... gamed from work before work at home became a thing and the management didnt have a clue between a quake server or mariadb anyway (well, do they today?) with a sign on the door that said "dont disturb, working against deadline" asking for more time and then finishing it in 3 days to be able to play quake or tourney for 3 weeks before explaining just how much blood sweat and tears went into it ... (and it did, b/c 3 days was done FAST - but also done gud b/c doing it twice is a drag, the thing about computers (or "insert fancy title + "it"+ "exec" + "officer" here) : you're only good if you're good enough to make the machine work for you (which is maybe it wasnt weirken back in salems lot)
So, ... maybe also b/c in the middle of the ton of people who create free games (theres a TON of releases okay, a TON , tenTon as we like to say), the ones who give up paid for stuff probably dont set out with the idea of "what would people want" and "this is gonna make me an Audi or two" (thats guttertrash for "rich"), they do stuff b/c it itches - and even the cartridges that are sold are sold smart enough so those are in pre-order, and probably limited ed. so you get a batch and thats it, and all orders are paid for so theres not much risk to it ... (no thumb rules tho) , but they want the name you see.
Even us rank amateurs, skitzo driftwood with no degrees (tho we bet we are not the only ones on the scene and we're not even "on the scene" who dont or dont really have "a job in" or had) or money, if we actually get the middlersted game
https://janesondergrond.art/middlersted/
to a state thats displayble and someone like RGN here or similar would "just mention it" in the passing by section we'd already be like
just for the mention
(but dont expect any updates soon, it will happen when it happens IF it happens before the world goes dark)
if that makes no sense then dont try to make sense of it
b/C you'll probably get a migraine wondering "why would anyone do that for that"
but you see this
or this
(i mean a gods-damrung teletext demo) ... you have to be ancient to even know what teletext is
"why would anyone do that?"
if you have to ask that then dont
i dont think it can be explained but the itch
like the guy who wrote grep (overnight) in back-then assembler ... but not quite
you know? no you dont
its impossible to say unless you got it, why would someone stick to "i wanna do something in 128 bytes" ?
wel "CUZ"
and thats it
the mention is one thing, the backpat to the self is probably more "the" thing there when you go to yourself like "hmmmmmm actuallyy today i am slightly not meh" with no one in the room to hear the falling tree clapping
...
its a thing
so that game (c64) .. had the idea back when getting back on asm after 30 years to do those little intros and there's some fleeting thoughts, defender of the crown , hillsfar , dungeon master (or better known eye of the behloder lately - another nice example, 16 or so years in the making, a loose collab by high level scenoids - and its all for free , and its, let me tell you, not just ART for the pixels, but as the writing goes, the coding, thats one piece of work there, guv ... also hard to explain b/c there is no nobel prize for creative coding literature )
If you are stuck to about 4 hours of clarity/sanity and have 2 sleep cycles a day b/c that grew while you were living in a black hole with walls made of kryptonite and are born with OOh - stringy ! syndrom
... theres so many interesting things - it would be beter if we could go for 18 hours a day still but if we could they would mule us out to de baas and we wouldnt get to it anyway
so theres balance and symmetry in the end : nothing gets done
its like every time you think , NOW im gonna
they come up with something
we havent gotten to tooll.io, now they release godot 4.0 and only yesterday we bump into this
...
theres always something but atm
we actually got back to this here (warning, site not optimized so the page size might be about the size of a standard webpage with analytics and some plugins to it)
on the framebuffer device , after booting up these to keep a little track of it
as it turn out
ash != bash
so where you for loop
#!/bin/bash
for i in {1..5}
do
echo "Welcome $i times"
done
or
#!/bin/bash
set counter 'c' to 1 and condition
c is less than or equal to 5
for (( c=1; c<=5; c++ ))
do
echo "Welcome $c times"
done
you cant do that in ash (its a minimal version used by smaller linux builds like openwrt in embedded systems with low memory and all that - like your dishwasher, or a vocore (which is actually a full pc , not just a router))
you have to use seq
#!/bin/bash
for i in $(seq 1 2 20)
do
echo "Welcome $i times"
done
but not the standard syntax so you backquote
`seq 250` or similar
but running that on a small vocore, iterating 640 times a print command that prints hex colour codes to a file which is then copied 250 times in the outer loop via the dd command to put a gradient or oldskool rasterbar on the screen
if you do that on a pc that can run elden ring, you can actually see the lines come from up to down, its not instant
if you do that on a vocore it turns out to be slower than print statements in commodore basic
so we thought we would insert the printed out sequence (640 numbers to the shell scrip file and see what gives)
never did ash so half the syntax from bash wont work and
well lets cut it short here then
not just a doompatrol metafor sadly
not just c64 but it was the first machine to show us the truth, the matrix AND
way of the exploding fist
so like your first kiss , if you like the 1s and 0s , its always gonna be there
(is that okay ? )
no it doesnt matter if someone reads it because we talked about #ourstuff
and the rest of the world can mange brioche, just like we could when it mattered
gud then
to another year64 and 40 more to come (we will need pickle-jars for a few brains soon)
check out todays loader
since webdev is torture and only crotter gets to automate, the in-page javascript musiq equalizer and player probably wont work until you click the ten magic clicks of allow somewhere but you can click the pic to load the video on vimeo
fast tracker 2 ... opcode tablature (never had any musical education either, we are REALLLY unschool but highly educated b/c we can read before school pieces of rekt driftwoord, it would have worked if they just let us do, if born in america we might be ...
a soft version of manson maybe b/C we dont believe in pimpin we want you to want it, sweetie)
right
