abit cleaner - needs more ofc but the laundry is a fact of life too. Slowgress is progress in a place with no way out and all exits to the future blocked, the night was really quiet doing it. The 1000 katawara were quite silent. Thats worth a lot (how small life has become) ... As for the 64topic ... not much seems to have happened since yesterday - m stilll curious about that 16meg expansion but "just to have it" seems like a waste since we would need a 2nd real machine as the 1st one is untouched as far as we could see so turning it on every single time is a bit of an adventure with original capacitors l m a o indeed ... it only gets switched on for testing anymore really. Last time was the new years greeting card which i think is still not linked on pouet but only on demozoo and if you ask thyself ? yes on vice on the celeron pc it sometimes did funny but we couldnt see a glitch when we ran it on the real thing thx ... so that would have to do then... as its stretching the vic with all the bitmap animations outside the irqchain AND in as well as 48 sprites it might act different on different revisions WE REALLY HAVE NO CLUE AND NOT ENOUGH HW TO TEST ON ABOUT THAT ... bem bem ... the point is "looking for a plex to add more pixels to the game later" was a succesful operation ... and i think the pixelcat with the springstep is one of our best yet (after all were not the Sarge with 5000 picsels to our name here ... we really like that sprite/anim we do ... the little guys and all that aint bad and the tankies but the cat that crawls under the gate and presses the button is certainly our personal fav of our personal pixels so far. As well focus on the game in matters 64 theres no saying if there will be more demos for lulz ... but theres also no saying that there wont. The big question is who cares heh ... if the game sees fruition and birth before the resource wars kick off for real that would be nice, but if no one ever plays it thats just as good (unless suddenly the situation changes and we can make money doing retro games - but we still have the physical condition ... and the mental interrupts ... and then some ... doubt very much that will all get fixed in this life and)
well the site looks abit more presentable over the past two days - NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT : wet panties, socks and t-shirts need a-hangin'
...
right - dawn is creeping up and with it the stray alpha waves that are so painful for catstar betazoids
the retroscaler in the pix left is somewhat meh but i guess for €150 back then its what you can expect these days if it doesnt come from a bedroom solderer in poland or germany (or the UK before the brexit but now its sometimes as bad as getting stuff from ben eater in california - sorry 8bit guy - otherwise maybe an x16 would have been considered tho we cant find time to finish anything as is ... with the db9 adapter from Sintech for the mister fpga now capable of playing c64 (and Atari ST) games with authentic controllers there probably be more (its just not the same on VICE, the mister is "kinda" better but also not b/c it cant do easyflash. The monitor that works for the low hz rate for the ST works onthe mister vga output but we dont have a vga adapter for the c64 so its coax (WE HAVE A 1080 P LED TV WITH A COAX INPUT ! still baffled as to how philips put that there in this day and age but its really handy to have tho OFCOURSE its far from that 1970s hand-down tube the kid had - which doubled as a space heater in the winter) ... and i dont think we'll be spending much - the adapter was like the first €30 not spent on cat/food this year and until the world is fixed ... WELL ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY xept propability seems to be 99% chance of downward. But theres plenty we want to revisit there, not just beach head 1 :p ... space taxi .. the kid LOOOOVED space taxi ... but with friends theres was a lot more run the gauntlet or the epyx-games-series (and ofcourse exploding fist) ... archon with some people ... pitstop i think more than outrun or buggyboy ... i think run the gauntlet must have been one of the topper multiplayers back then toe to toe with california games ... but for now ... welll eventually after the jag game we like to do a "soulforce"-like for the jag as we think that thing should be fit for games like that par excellence as long as theyre horizontal aaaand ... yea ... cycletime ... if anyone's got my money be sure to let me know, ive been looking for it - about 950 million to move to Asia and start something up at this point in spacetime.
20250314 :
clean-the-site days have arrived for a few by the absolute rule of the god of flipcoin ... if julius and alexander conquered the world on chicken entrails then the god of flipcoin certainly isnt a worse decision maker. At the very least no one with power less than aliens capable of manipulating microgravity in a specific zone can sort the outcome of what we're made to do ... On the 1stlove folder we cleaned out the scene tab. Lots of screenshots from csdb didnt make it past the webform (well ... maybe 5 or 6 hm ...) and there was like two ASOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE filenames on the server ... cant delete them via FTP so before starting to mess around with system calls or dig out how to login via ssh we just asked the support desk L o l ... maybe were getting lazy but i have to admit im clueless as to how a filename thats 550 (not there) is there in the first place ... im gonna throw the towel in an easy and fastmove out. Maybe the support guy or gal can explain it if they have time in the reply (sure would like to know ...) or maybe its some kind of injection hole we accidentally bugged into ... sure as hell did not intentionally main the personal site to prove something ... stranger things have happened. So we remain curious if Dibbert can hack it on a medieval fantasy track the way Jason Page or Vaissey could for dragonspire (=kusoge but those guys always have the best in- and outtros and muz) and Murkasada (which we like very much and hope sometime in the future, preferably before dead or demented to see the missing eps for ... ) its all personal taste but im sure the main moat of the public woudl agree that dragonspire was kusoge lol HOWEVER ... if you wanna display 1980s spirit and soul ... like us : you beat it without cheating anyway ... THATS GANGSTER !
20250312 :
once more not much heavy news on the 64 front the that 16meg expansion looked nice we're not really sure if it has persistent memory thats modifiable during run like EZF and i bet its even less widely adopted .. what a shame, as well as the fact that no one ever bothered fixing up the 2mb version of ezf but stuck to the 1mb .... beats me why. Now with the adapter arrived to use a REAL vcs or atari/amiga style joystick on the mister i bet we'll see some more retro games on that one coming back up and otherwise ...
well yea ... everything going on is out of our power and all exits are still blocked, the condition aint getting better and the world is disintegrating<
what do you want me to say about that ? BRIOCHE, JONG and leave me alone youve done enough damage.
20250307 :
its nice to see people coding up stuff on the daily but its nicer to see people like SJA or Boyd putting real time into it - as well as psytronik at least trying to polish it before adding it to the beermoneypool ... i see mostly onescreendemos or tek-demos (what we would call them) and sunday-afternoon-tea programs ... things is : we have an EXTENSIVE collection of retrogames from way back who all cover all of that so we dont really need more of that (BUT ITS GOOD TO SEE FUCKERS SHOW THE PLATFORM IS ALIVE) ... other than "o look its space taxi with a hiscore-SAVER" most of these things dont really stick so they wont make the c64-list on the mistercompatlist either - pray you understand at least that, in a day with four hours left in a life behind enemy territory with no future and no way out, testing onehourgamejams is not #1 on the todo-list
i guess we wait, if the thing wont work on a mister but only on windows at least i can please 64games on vice using the original stick ... the problem with the real machine here is that its unaltered so at that age it becomes risky to turn on, the last time we did was to test the newyears greeting card demo and we neither have the material nor the number of sessions-xp in soldering to fix it up if it does, NOR DO WE HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A SPARE REFURBISHED ONE ... the db9 adapter is the first euro we spend this year since the new gov't announced they will take everything from the poorest 20% and give it to the police, the army and their own pension funds ... the future's looking bright. How were you gonna make us care again ? i forgot, ... nevermind ... rhetorical ...
20250304 : first of all id like to say gratz firefly but what we really think is this : "plz dont start the circlejerk b/c you are ahead of europe" .. 60 years later you cant even manage what a guy did 60 years ago with a 4bit calculator and 1% of the funds and tech, in a tin can
with 3 humans in it ... so theres room for improvement b/c it seems like you went backwards in time ... the only way this is more impressive than hayabusa or the arabs is if the moonlanding was actually fake and the conspiracy is true and this is actually the first time it succeeded. Otherwise you did a lot less with a lot more 60 years later (did i sound like the ex boss here ?? hmmmmm .. motivation hum, nothing gets the murricans going like the chinese saying "well have a moonbase by 2030) so ...
dont wanna rain on the parade but either the 1960s landing was fake or this is retrodevving and selling it like quantumcomputers ... THAT SAID ... (drifting offtopic there, i guess its a nice feat for a private company in the current "climate" (political and economic) but that doesnt take away what that other guy did 60 years ago with 1% of what they have today ...
that said : certainly wanna find out the magic of 9 sprites but we got stuck at 48 in the new years demo and whatever anyone says : its not glitching when we run it on the real c64 we have here ... tho when opening the borders things seem to change as some artefacting or mirroring happens that has to be worked away , thats actually the original routine for the newyears card demo which lead to "we need a multiplex to add pixels to the game" and ended up with this 64kb demo full of spud and rank amateur noob lamish as "the 5th prod" which is why we called the routine leeloo multiplex .. THAT SAID
its time again ... my legs been hurting like ass and tits again for days , its like someone made a streetfighter kick to the knee while we were sleeping ...
remodel your mindset b/c spacemines or die ...
20250302 : finally got through the backlog on csdb ... with a final reaction thats like absolute-american post 2020 ... on a forum thats supposed to hold 50yo intelligent weirdos ... over a word the dutch use like water running from a tap unless you're part of the 5%er media ... this is probably one of the reasons why i only asked once for an account and when "some guy" replied in the mail "we dont see why you
need an account (i didnt come in referred by some l33t scener even tho the kids c64 died before most present day groups were established) i realized "indeed, i dont
need one" (lol) ... americanized drama like this is a nice reminder WHY I DONT NEED ONE ... jeezes man ... we all have lost ... we probably wouldnt last 24 hours before running into some kind of americanized neo-hippie over a word that doesnt even exist in this language ... but nevermind ... not too much super-snazz in the latest haul it seems ... when i saw windigo had a new one we all like O YEA CRONOS 2 BABY ... but its the other one, which is a nice one ... but not the supreme one of '24 by JoG ruling ...
20250301 : We musta been training that youtube and google thing for 3 weeks now telling it "we dont want to see those and those videos anymore but every next day its slips one in like "you HAVE TO see this" ... but anyway ... Kouyate seems to be shaping up pretty well, and still hoping the girl doesnt release it early but only when really satisfied like "this is a game I WANT TO play :)" ...
20250222 : no shit :
RAD expansion - just sawre it on Sabermantube ... is this ... RAM ? as in can you alter it during run which would make it like a 16mb easyflash ??????? ( = drool?) - gotta read up on that later ... i see ofcourse it has DOOM ... (i think it runs on the dishwasher too ... and the coffee machine) not something we personally have been waiting for on a c64 but the equivalent of abit more than 5*16 floppies sounds like a cool thing, if it can write back and alter the image ... for middlersted that would be ideal instead of using expansion floppies - but does it run in vice ... well DOOM looks pretty snazzy64 but i wish whenever they do this someone would at least put that effort into a NEW game ... but bem, i guess its the benchmark rite of passage of all times
20250218 : ZeroDesign is the most flexible organic way of life however it does require research as not only syntax is a waste of brainspace but most schoolbooks are outprinted by the time one graduates after all... (xept perhaps cuneiform or basic archaeology ... i bet even ancient history suffers from it - even more so now revision is trendy in many western-soviet-democratic states as well) ... thing is : this is probably what we were looking for after trying to switch to CHROUT from the standard TRSE routines
Commodore 64 PETSCII code to screen code conversion - figuring out how to print $A0 (the poke) using CHROUT in an edited charset ... we have been stretched thin due to een gat and also het gatste gat in gatland so the most effective way to chill is to fill all of the remaining braincells with 8bit assembler until nothing else remains (there is no mountain to sit with here) ...its a proven technique but probably doesnt work for crackbabies ... we notice the catham joker coming through more and more in the last few weeks and the thin skin of polite cracking too easy ... its too early for Ragnarok, we have a few promises to keep.
20250214 : i nominated the red princess for my secret Valentine this year. Certainly a potential morgana to my merlin lol but bem ... i wouldnt wanna get
that big brother jealous ... fascinating woman, Watson .. TO THE POINT, however ... c64 future looks pretty decent, upcoming Pig Quest 2 and SJA's rpg id say 2025-26 (? we alway like those retrodevs to take their sweet time getting the last pixel in the perfect place instead of rushing out and patching later ... after all we are generation
press play on tape and personally born with the patience of the cat , closer to kingbenny and not by a lightmile close to scarface ... when it comes to patience, sadly money ? ... maybe i can ask for political asylum in north korea or china ... id consider el salvador but its too hot, question is in my current condition what is my added value, right ? ... THE POINT .. Oh , still havent finished Battle for Cronos and havent even touched infeztation barring a testrun for the misterCompat list. Booted up a game of civ1 again (no, it NEVER gets tired of that, like never) and have been fiddling with 86box ... pauper times are coming over poor times, guttertrash sinks deeper and small fry cant hold a candle to the big players ... WHO does Pootn pick the phone up for ? is it a bird ? is it a plane ? is it ... topminister or minister 10 miljoen ? NO, ... its uncle Xi or uncle Donald ... (i bet he picks up for Modhi too ...) .... AH TO THE POINT ... well we had to recalibrate this week as the takeover by the NSDA-KMO-P seems to have blown out the last potential motivation and brought "in 20 years ill die alone" (its a choice since if i have to end in belgium i have no need for humans anymore) to "will i have to take your kids lunchmoney to eat before the year is over" ?
the point seems hard to focus on ... anyway, C64 looking good :) !!! carry on have at it
20250207 : its not like we havent 64d since last month but game updates get written on the middlersted page and the rest ... well atm we are somewhat convinced Atari was "made in china" ... (https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=40000) "
but really Atari did a jungle mess with on board implementation."... those Americans huh ... blame it on the dawg ... Avorys thing is shaping up looking good as for the rest, de zelfstandigenbond and de anti-socialisten taking over belgium i really cant say anything but investing in a decent 9mm and a bag of bullets is starting to look like the better option towards food-security
20250102 : lol, The Mechanic (ref as in the last stand demo by JoG) at work :
Eeben has to do special again ... the guy might not be Dali the 2nd or Squarepusher Fuji but its certainly an 8bit heavyweight ... as for we ? i think we gonna do about a month of sorting hard drives, staying offline a LOT (we found this to be most helpful) and maybe try to finish the Jag game first as for some reason we feels this one (as strange as it sounds) might be the easiest to finish. The c64 game is a life-project but at some point the core game should be playable and ready, the rest is all about enlarging the world ... and the actual Jag game we wanna do is a shmup which we could describe as "soulforce-like" (?) after soulforce we found it to be the bestest shmup we ever played on the c64 ... gouts et couleurs apply .. aaand, the Atari ST .. since the boy never programmed an ST as there was no programming langauge or docs available thats gonna be more than a journey. But yea, thats also TBS, since we back then bought a PC for 110% of the then monthly wage just to play warlords and panzer general TBS is TBS and you have more soul to put into something if its in your soul. So we'll leave the snazzy platformers to Monte Boyd and the ports to Haplo and we will do our ooown thing ... looks impressive for a vic-20 by the way. I wonder if we'll see another FLT.CNCD megademo sometimes ? for the c64 perhaps .. gud, enough talk for this week at least, maybe longer, oh yeah, and fixing up the mister power button but i thought it was a star screw but it look like some kind of rivet. No longer have to worry about warrany but we'd prefer to use as little crowbar as possible on opening it up heh ... "new one" ??? i dont think so, we have enough ideas to spend money on , if anything gets spent on a mister it will be the legendary mister2 (a bit like the Yeti, we dont know if anyone will ever see Nessie either) or the replay2 (IF that adds value that is not defined as "quality of life" but actualy real innovation to the system) ... otherwise .. i think if we were to get another 8bit it would be like a ZX b/C thats like the most omoshiroi torture machine, like doing 50fps scrolling on a stock ST, the thing is like an iron maiden , ... if anyone wants us to do an amiga demo or game, you should send a fully working and decked out A1200 to 1-800-Jog b/C amiga is not on our priority list even if we recognize it as coming in 2nd place in its generation (after the sharp68) but 1st by popular demand but still overall through all of history we have to say the c64 takes top spot .... GUD, now THAT ... is enough for two weeks at least. Offline = gud, online = bad head parks often.
ORLEY ? did i hear someone say "loading times" ? we are the last generation who pressed play on tape, your loading times have no power over us ... Otakus that shower b/c tapes is loading hard , the last remnants of an epoch at the end of the Sumerian era ... soon you might find out what happened to Mars ... tho it seems unlikely you'll be able to put that to use :) (soon ... for a creature unstuck in time that might be on a generational or sociological scale but i think it wont be another 100 years before even politicians cant deny it and Nestle is too late to sue ... how offtopic can i get on a thursday night ? time to cycle)
s
20250101 : After checking it on the real thing after asking the shrine guardians to let us pass so we could pray to the holy relic for a mite we have to conclude "Last Stand (JoG writes a card)" is finished tho it could use another fine two weeks to re-arrange the sid i suppose since its just a lulz freestyle it doesnt matter and we sure learned a lot in doing it ... offline time seems to be GREAT for mental health too. The .d64 file is available since last night on JoG
Demozoo Page . We'll ofcourse add an entry here on the site and upload it to pouet sometime this week (for the children !) for posterity ... There's limited space between $C000-$D000 and optimization didnt happen since we were seriously OOT at 23:59 on 31/12 here, dinners need to be had , stuff needs to ... i dont know what or why exactly, probably something commercial, its not like theres much to celebrate other than advisor Bo in health and we still breathing so we still have a chance to last until the humans go down under the weight of their own mistakes ... SO IF YOU were desperately longing for a mention from the supreme being and its not there i suppose you left less of a lasting impression than the ones who are ... dont take it so hard, after all JoG is not even on the scene but i bet we can code better than RGN or Amigabill (hurr hurr ...) anyway ... we have, as always, nothing to prove. You can check Bubblegum Galaxy or Mandala v2 on demozoo page , they're 'cracktro-style' and have very lengthy scrollers with lots of names in it , if you're not in THERE .. well then you probably didnt leave an impression at all ... try again in '25 heh ... anyways euhm ... life with a battery that starts at 5% when you wake up isnt too convenient and im afraid we overdid it a little again. So its time to cycle. We gonna get back on the game and keep our offline stance , its REALLY quiet inhere (in de ondergrond where the jog-beats kom from) without the mindstorm induced by western-democratic soviet propaganda and webpages with 95% ads and 1% content hidden between the headlines. Just checked the game and apparently we left it somewhere at the point where encounters would come into play. I bet Sarah-Jane will release her Ultima game WAY before middlersted gets born but thats GUD, even better would be that she releases her second ultima game AND briley witch 3 before it, meonlawel gets an actual final state and the guys and gals(?) from EOB do another one (and take less than 15 years this time heh, but thats okay, we might as well) ...
the very best part : 64 = still alive, and kicking more than ever apparently , the demoez the games last year were an hommage to the single one bestest machine of all time ever... we has an Atari STE here too and we love it but all history combined we still have to conclude the c64 is the most epic relative to its time and bitspace ... WE HAVE SPOKEN ...
20241231 : guess even skitzos unstuck in time are waiting for supper ... wed love to get another two weeks into the christmas card to arrange the sidtune and put some pixels one to the left (or right ...) but it was actually intended to be 32 sprites bobbing with a scroller and time left to do a card in GB studio to expand the repertoire with a small gameboy exe ... it ran out of hand by slightly epic proportions relative to the 5th prod ... still 39years til fairlight tho (if they stop coding today that is or we'll never catch up ... that doesnt mean we wanna under-state the others ... its just you know, FLT is FLT ... like Triad is Triad ... you know, or maybe you dont ... the kids computer broke down before "the scene" actually rose up but the flt and tri intros still resonate tho all those eagle, Ikari , BROS and what not, HTL .. are gone down history lane .. (well and FLT has a nasty habit of appearing everywhere from "ah lets do a quickie to win revision AGAIN" to strange places in the gutter next to skid row where the skeevy people live ... or else someone is using the name i dont know ... doesnt matter ... dont feel left out, compared to "the big seven" we know our place, but compared to "the 10000 followers on facebook" we also know our place HUrrr hurrr ... just like to do one or two bars to the tune before the dinnerbell rings and the dir art will be what it is... we might be many but theres only one body to go ... so "everything by JoG", we borrowed a christmas tree from syria and some reindeerjets from Ukraine to do the .."small" onefiler which is literally the biggest prod64 we did so far AND the fifth, featuring resonating names like Leeloo multiplex and plex Luthor this time we think we are slightly not meh with this one so far and CERTAINLY LEARNED A SHITLOT THAT CAN BE USED IN THE GAME (!!!) to which wed like to get back but ... who sits at 3am on a xmas night in front of a screen writing op and looking nop for 8bit demoez ? "raise hand" ... we fear we're gonna mutate into a democoder at this rate lol ... ANYWAY, as far as blasts go , this was Omoshiroi+1 ... now ... some gud games end year too, twas a great demo year AND ... we most of all hope when we load it into the kungfu cart
........... that it will work on the real thing too heheh...
20241222 : the site could use about six months of updating i suppose .. these dlogs arent even inc files yet from janesbirdie. As per 64 ... having nothing but offline screentime programming something that amounts to the 5th ever assembler stuffs and the biggest one so far, by code and pixels handwritten has been really quiet. Since we hear nothing about spacemines and when we happen to get close to a tv or radio we only are reminded of the reasons why we got off the train b/c the inevitable is coming anyway i guess we'll just stay like that. Got a C64, got an Atari STE w 4mb and an SD drive for a HD, got a mister that needs a powerbutton fix and about 620k unsorted roms + 2 games that NEED finishing and the jag one ... if by then we're still not dead or demented we can only assume the gods will allow us to see the humans go down. Aah, the christmas wont be ready for xmas as per today it needs cleaning up, cleaning a few transitions, checking if theres kb left for some extra whatever and 8
kb of SID which i dont think we can possibly manage by the 25th, probably not even by new year b/c a FULL sid tune is also a first and its not quite fast or ym-tracker is it ... for whatever its worth, back when fun existed this would have been "a blast" and the kid would have probably ejaculated mentally over it, so nothing lost but time in a life thats already gone since een gat became a forget-hole for life. ONWARDS TO euhm, nevermind ... its not like we got anything to prove so whenever its up is good, maybe an easter card if it takes too long ... by the time it gets posted most joy will already be derived. If anyone happens to watch it maybe they can pite a sprite for an upcoming game ... speaking of ... gud to see SJA go for a new RPG, i recognize the blacksmith from Briley there ... i wonder where the woman got the idea to do that i.o. BwC 3 .. not that it matters, if its gud game its gud game and we havent continued on Cronos but seeing the amount of titles like that released every 40 years i bet we'll get it done before the next one arrives.
20241215 : most of the screentime in a day that has at most 4 hours usable goes to programming what was gonna be 32 sprites bobbing around with a scrolltext and some goty shouts to "omg i only have 2kb of codespace left and 8 for the sidtune)" , barely go online , only if we cant avoid it, its not like we dont know where the world is going since 30 years. We would have loved to live that in Asia tho, not in a black hole where the law of attraction according to hippies breaks down under the weight of het gat. No one ever leaves the swamp of mordor. So theres no need to go online and hear the same story from the 1980s in a world thats 80% more empty of shit and 200% more full of biped monkeys, triffids and zombies. Game still on Battle fro Cronos mission 6 now but havent gotten past 8 turns left. and thats it ... ? yea, thats it i think, unless jesus fills it up or some other prophet of some other faction the collapse is inevitable, dont try to make us care after all you did to block our exits from the hole.s
20241207 : Think i finally got foothold on factory 2 in BfC moving from bunker-first to blockade while holding fac1 using alternating armour and assault .. it looks like it could be this time (no strategy guide xept lvl 1we stopped reading there it would be a total waste otherwise) ... Just like PG had a pc bought for 110% of the then monthly income, with subsequently shadow of the emperor still rated as ichiban tbs ever (from personal memories and immersion - just remember if you were there how VERY immersive doom and duke nukem was on that 14 inch crt with the 15 euro speakers paid for in francs still which didnt even have woofers but you were like INTHERE, compared to this 48" UHDr 4k ... it doesnt even come close since dark souls 1) ... Like civ 1 must be the only game the boy cut class for (shoulda done that more) if the kid had a game like this in the 80s on the c64 he might have quit school immediately and fled belgium as a statistical anomaly for places where shit is possible at the age of 10 ... or nine ... But the programming still helps best against the damage and subsequent mindstorms ... whatever last stand turns out by the day of posting we sure learned a lot that will be useful for the middlersted game. As a non 50fps fast paced action game 48 sprites + benefits will certainly come in handy. HAD NO CLUE you can have so many moving bits on screen that arent just colourcycling sections on the old machine that never died ... ofourse nobody here's the Sarge, or a dev, a pro, or an artist for that matter ... not a scener ... definitely not a lamer ... just LURV the old machine that never died , as well as the Atari ST for which we certainly wanna give a try aiming at battle isle as well ... deadline dead or demented (hopefully ? hope is one of the gates to hell so have none, you'll find out and life will decide for you when its over ... sounds nordic fatalist ? the people of the swamp et Bruoc Sala arent too far away, i cant imagine the primal drecklands gave rise to religions of hope but Ragnarok and end of days , gloomd and something in the fog must have been pretty popular ... SO WHAT AM I DOING TYPING HERE ?
20241206 : well we woulda given the fiver to Battle for Cronos but i think monte boyd is a primus here too at the end-year64 ... not that nixy or color-Tony aint worth a fiver, as are many others. Primarily if theres screentime available wed like to at least get a v0.01 version of "JoG writes a card (a.k.a. last stand)" before new year as its a new years card (to the machine ofcourse) but everything in the last weeks has been colluding to prevent anything but menialities from getting done, nothing important advances, only the battle against entropy. We finally sat down again for a few hours , practicing "how would it be to program like the cripple we'll likely be in 10 or so years" with a cat occupying one arm and having only one hand available to use the keyboard and mouse. Its not 78 rastersplits and its not brozai but i think we got better than ourselves from last year again, and ofcourse, if and when deemed presentable if will just be put on pouet and demozoo in silence and quiet, dont give a shit about who likes and how much better or worse it is than he, she or other ... never have ... i think thats why they think we are not normal : will take hammer to get sandwich when starving from the biped monkey passing by ... doesnt wanna compete to be better than ... "other" (lol) ... NEVER MIND
20241204 :
xYou purchased the game on 2024-12-04 03:24:16 for $4.19 + $0.84 VAT ... we like itch for what its pretending to do (i bet its american so its just making money off of an untapped niche in reality ofcourse , lets see if they follow up on their 'come to america!' in germany and buy out VW .. o shit politics ... YOUTUBE KEEPS CRAWLING UP MY ASS UNINVITED WITH SIDEBARS IN STRANGE BROWSERS I DIDNT ASK FOR, LIKE OPENING UP the any tab on USA-DOS and getting msn no matter what and watching topminister and BV's UNASKED FOR... anyway, we LOVE itch despite that since they present a much needed platform, BUT THE EXECUTION AND SITE ? ... never heard of "vat-included" prices or bold enough in 2024 in IT to dare and say "thats too difficult to implement ..." ?
20241203 : itch is trying impressively hard to not let me view anything or purchase my coffee for this month support today ... last time i got charged twice on paypal and i hade to make a retard fuss about 2.99 ... but no matter what, i cant have neither paypal nor itch just do that and get away with it. I got the money back so we gud otherwise it would be like Valve and until i get my money back i buy nothing anymore there. ... its not about the amount tho actually currently €5 is €5 ... so the choice of the month would have been Battle for Cronos (by a lightmile to one such as us seeing as we have genes from panzer general and battle isle spliced into the system after so many sessions back on the first pc. But they dont accept a coffee for the ddl and sadly as much as wed like to have a basement full of boxes and a maid to clean them b/C the dustmite allergy doesnt like boxes. We dont have to worry about the issue b/C we dont have a basement and frankly no space in the borg cube for boxes either. Hopefullly they sell lots and get motivated to do "campaign editor", "Wargame Construction Set 64" and Cronos 2 : shadow of the emperors cousin. So i guess we go for monte Boyd (tho Felvidek is the clear winner in total this month december unless something really O-box pops up) but i been refreshing pages for the past good two hours and i still cant get to it...
on a sidenote : the frontpage updates tab wont update c64 when a scene prod is added, only when the pages are edited or something personal is added. Its a personal pick. If you want to be influence we suggest RGN and Dino for c64, PCN and Lu for the Mister and Ataricrypt for the ST .. but you could just go straight to the source and decide what you like for yourself.
