Well theres a new monday-bokeh @rudyardcatling, all smiles, all fun and games, a true reflection of life as always

The introstyle

is at 63% at time of writing (2023 02 06 1AM-ish)

you can check the youtube feed to see some kind of evolution - tho compared to the meteoriks picks it doesnt look all too impressive ofcourse but if everyone were Dali, Dali wouldnt be Dali either and no idea where we would be with a team of elite pros 20 years from now (which is often the time minimum those people have been at it, dating back to retro maybe 40 sometimes even 50, for the code-god and the self backpat - with total disregard for all or anyone present in the forest to hear one hand clapping when your tree falls)

its 63% b/c the dropping logo echos dont exactly do what we want, - - and its "introstyle" not intro b/c JoG hasnt had a release in 40 years so we can hardly call it a release-group - introstyle is a fine example of what could win the 50 steem (or whatever the prize is at the moment) for a submission to galmeetsdemo.

8 am p.p.s : fresh Voss :

63 + 4 +4 of 80% - which is a strange denomination but not if you live in our head - when we talk to each other we always understand what we're saying. If you saw the chatlogs (im sure some stalkers did) some probably think its a chatbot - but its US ... all in our head as they say ... so we accomodated

or adapted to survive b/c with pavlov gnome on top its a bit much so

80%-ish b/c ofcourse its not all in place to be the 80% thats 80% but theres the thing :

• the elite doesnt do previews for the obvious reason that if you actually compete all your lulz and punnies are gone if you show them up front, the audience and panel, the suits of scene and jury will lul more with the others bc yours will be have-seen ... so thats pretty obvious

• the other bit : if you dont work towards a release party demos never get past 90% , or if actualy past 99% because theres ALWAYS a pixel in the wrong place if you look at it again somewhere, and comeing from 320x160 to 4k thats a lot of pixels but even a PETsci (like triads master-series) has the same syndromes ... if you look at it again and theres no deadline to the party : you WILL find a pixel in the wrong place ... its inevitable and THATS WHEN YOU KNOW you're doing it right hahah

... SO ...

basic rights for basic !

if you know how its done then please understand its not like that for others by default, as the great white american hope rapped : fuck the planet til it spins on a broken axis, it aint work unless it fucks up your health and if the body wasnt broken wed stand here another 10 hours met die loopende tapedeck die ik urelang check en al me buren worde gek van die dreun die nooit vertrekt ...

umlaut design is one guy too ????? or did we misread that on pouet

THATS MASSIVE, MAN !!!!!!

as for the rest and nothing - trying new stuff is always something but in the end we probably settle for "demos for the deck" b/c thats actual set hardware which wont change or expand and to the c64 do games only - ... and occasionally try out stuff like tic80 and whatever comes along because

CODE FOR THE CODE GOD !

new bumperstickers available : "we shoot chatGPT on sight"

only €49.99 in early access (if you pre-order NOW)
o 2023
sorry

only €89.99 in early access (if you pre-ordered before anouncement)

(personal data plus panties mandatory on order)

m mm .....

nothing to prove ... we KNOW we are slightly above average and sadly only half of us can be ...

Beware : in '23 the scene has people you call ... i think the word is toxic who would tell you the exact same thing isnt real b/C its not written in their language . In other words, it has been infected by mundanes ...

If you wanna see stuff that most likely wont get the prize or any, check out the lineup for assembly 2023 winter ... it looks like it was a ball but that is no longer a demoparty (tho they for some reason pretend, we suspect its crotter trying to rek it with money for some reasons crotter thinks its good - world domination and the likes)

"The scene"

ps makes it kinda easy b/c if you just want a roundup without diggin yourself (like browsnig on a flea market - the reason why we like steam giving everyone chances - something a lot of boxed-up folk think its bad but often the gems are hidden under another dusty box or under a shining standout gem. It depends on your taste ofcourse, do you like stuff like "riparian" (commodore 64) or not ... because its not standard but its got a thing

So check the guy out and give 'im a hoot, he's practically a martyr b/c for keeping the scenereports standing by himself almost apparentely he still has to pay for his own trip to revision '23 ....

a point in spacetime that might be defining for the future of scene and its image, which, sadly might cause Elric , the teknomages and some other aliens to withdraw even deeper ...

---

personal .. cant stay a whole lot REALLY stood out and ofcourse after seeing a list like the meteoriks lineup its always gonna be hard, but despite that daily people are still having pets, and all kinds of creative spasms on all kinds of platforms, for the love of the code-god - so its far from dead

and its far from crotter

BUT (and we stronly feel) : allowing "chatGPT teach me shaders" as a submission on a creative contest, thats as good as an insult and a slap to the face)

not all drops come with a vid (and in case of meteoriks apparently one of the nominees has a private vid (... politics you say ? OFCOURSE NOT, the suits of scene would never do that) which is somewhat unheard of, and really strange that you would have your prod on private so only a few ppl can see it ... its almost like an intruder (maybe its chatGPT and they dont wanna tell it b/C FOR OBVIOUS REASONS)

this one

kinda stood out - we think we already linked the cow demo by abovementioned ps "trip back to calodoxland" for TiC-80

There will ofcourse be more we havent seen since we havent checked today yet

and so, if you secretly like coding, have a go

you dont have to release or submit, you can just keep it to yourself, post it on facebook, or put it up on demozoo and tell no one

Revision usually has some of the biggest releases of the year due to the sponsor money turning it into (the next assembly) a major event and ofcourse people start having small mutations on their egos if they arent aliens or teknomages and immune to all that - THAT

is only normal

so tschuss, i think i hear a coffee calling

if you think WE should get some luck : you can always send us a billion in steem, we dont have patreon since they once removed some comments without warning or notifying and everything would be "providing a service" in belgium, for which you need a business license, which certainly cost more than you can get out of it unless you have massive online clout

as proof of that we always simply say

name 5 belgian/flemish well known youtubers who are in the money off the top off your hat
name 3 belgian billionnaires by name (who are...)
name 2 belgion companies or corporations (who are ...) globally
name the capital of belgium

name the capital of europe

...

and so

we could go on

but we wont, wed like to some coding done and the night is quiet so we should use that to heal the mind before they start the next damage run

hhaaaaa

sure, but topminister who wanted to give 100000 euro for the sector likely gave that to the mayors cousin as they probably do with the national lottery (which is not gambling but everything in a bar is) - which is probably not even enough to boot an event the size of assembly or revision and certainly not enough to create an AAA game or even crowd- or self funded like Kingdom come (50 million crowd + later funding ?) or Senua (10 million (="microbudget") own money the studio had from previous engagements) unless you're like the gods of code and design and one guy comes up with valheim and adds 4 others and basically does it

(we never count pokemon - - - not sure if a collectible sink is a game anyway but we dont wanna insult anyone b/C no matter what you say it seems to be always insulting)

so once we get the money, we'll show you a demoparty (ofcourse!)

and in belgium 100k is what ? enough to pay one employee who gets avg wage for one year ?

close

anyhoo, this has NOTHING to do with belgium

check out ps and airwolf_64 on youtube, check out pouet , csdb , demozoo and all links from there lead to some part of rome

.. tschuss (yes theres more but these really get points for dedication)

you can leave submissions for the site via mail or in a link here - if you have any questions on that send a mail or leave a comment - theres not much prize and even less prestige but we do the site anyway and we have a few steem on the side to give away anyway (the prize wont grow if you wait longer - if you dont do it for the code-god then send it somewhere else and if you use chatGPT WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN - (hurr-) then send it somewhere else, assembly maybe or something

... tshcuss

GGGAH

NO !

thats b/c if you were to pay a guy or gal (or other?) or anything thats not a robot or human-simulator 25k a year you need 75k for costs + taxes to the state THATS WHY

but theres no room for politics here, since we felt pavlov gnome invading we decided to not youtube until march for anything but demos and thats it

see you next week (if no one submits anything you wont hurt our feelings, dont fret over our well-being, you never have when it still mattered :)

TSCHUSS (?) (does that need translating?)

---

o -

structured as always

(well part of the money would at least employ one gal who does the talking and kicks us around b/c we pay her too - obviously a woman b/c us bigots bow to no man ... tsjah)

well our first machine was (actually an atari with paddles, cartridges, 1cm² pixels and a game called yars revenge among 10-15 others but that one always stuck around) a c64 so theres no order of liking to it

obviously one would do this in a scroller but thats not possible here

no sponsored links since we dont do sponsored links (unless we already agreed with their stuff and they insist on paying later , otherwise fat chance)

Submissions

1. ask

galmeetsdemo (2x a year 50 steem) july , january (or more like before august, before january)

logorrhea (4x a year 10 steem)

freestyle (whatever / 1 steem)

1. ask

2. you dont have to

Got money ?

our first thing has always been independence so sponsor dont fit inthere , but crypto did, so since that could be independence crotter-global,america, china and others who NEED control fukt that for everyone

We live in belgium so everything is "providing a service" and you need a business license for that so donations only.

We dont have patreon since they censored us (what do you call removing comments without giving a reason and not even notifying?)

we dont have anything else either, kickstarter would be taxorism so

if y'all have any of dem spare billions, you can always send it in steem or any crypto - we'll gladly provide a wallet and file it on the tax return next year and have about 40% of it left in fiat

if you dont then dont, if it comes with strings attached and its not b/c you wanna see us do what we actually can, requires a banner or ads on site

then keep it

...

yea i know

"thats not how its done"

if we did it how its done , would we be here ?

no , we would be in our fifth divorce paying the third mortgage for the fourth wife and alimoney kids

SO

... nevermind

:)

as a closer :

last election we were gonna vote on PP but they still havent gotten foothold here

see here it goes : you need like 50.000 sigs or something (fairly impossible unless you have something people want like MONEY or something)

or ONE SIG by an already established parlementarian

so that ONE SIG ... no one gives = sabotage (they must be scared, notleft enough notright enough, too savvy for yo momma ... youngest meps youngest female meps in EU , talk about stuff using facts, dig up inconvenient reports - its almost like HACKERS DO POLITICS and they have a nice root so)

if you live in finland :

they can code too (no chatGPT heh heh) and probably wont sell yow ass to the A.I.

i dont know how to call it ... green-tek-neo-socialism or something but you cant take that the american way because the word means a WHOLE different thing overhere

(we never had the russians for sparring partners, actually until the americans started dragging europe down to bring the dollar back they were more like trade partners and export markets, both former ucle Vlad (now dark Vlad) and uncle Xi ...)

but the suits seem to think the americans are "our allies"

lies indeed

but no politics here

vote PP ! (.....:p)

---

allright last verse :

there seem to be some decent entries there and no one claims to have "chatGPT teach me shaders" entries

which is gud, Finland, as a lot of scandinavia has always had a thing for freedom ...

(you can pay Njal.la with crypto btw, all legal, vat included ... its not finish but if you know then you should know who peter sunde is and the guy deserves some butter ...)

(not sponsored btw - - - but if he feels like giving us a few domains for free b/c we like him that wouldnt change anything but we'll take it heh heh)

THATS NOT HOW ITS DONE

... well heres the deal with YOW-ASS , your bullshit ...

we look at your world

and hear you claim at every turn how to do this and how to do that

then we look at your world

and we look at your world

and we look at your world last year

and this year

and five years ago

and today

and we conclude : "YOU OBVIOUSLY"

"dont know shit"

"about how its done"

just look at the place

doubtful there's any entries for "suits-of-the-scene" awards next year (with videos SO gud they're too private or it would burn your eyes and only invited can watch them to make sure no one but the chair votes heh heh sorry mate .... its gud picks every year but we have our doubts on some of the things)

...

but decent entries nonetheless and certainly some that fall out of "we could do that" but none out of "we would do that if we got through the stack"

and
