os computadores são diferentes mas o sentido de comunidade é o mesmo. falta é a cola para as pessoas se manterem em contacto e se conhecerem umas às outras.
e depois com o trabalho do blog do planeta sinclair de andar atrás das pessoas com k7 antigas a digitalizar o que elas tinham e entrevistar os developers foi-se descobrindo dezenas de projectos e catálogos de software diverso que o público geral desconhecia existir pela fraca distribuição que teve.
mas de certeza absoluta que havia criadores a fazer mais do que videojogos. dou-te o exemplo de portugal onde a comunidade achava que só tinha havido dois ou três jogos de spectrum desenvolvidos por portugueses.
antigamente era com os eventos de mostras de computadores, hoje em dia é mais forums online. basta haver um site que arquive/colecione activamente esse tipo de informação sobre os computadores daquela era. do que ouvi falar no brazil há muito retro computing, está é toda focada nos videojogos.
de certeza que há demos e programas feitos nessa altura para essas máquinas, provavelmente falhou foi na distribuição, sem internet, sem a comunidade activamente a organizar eventos para a malta mostrar o que tem feito as coisas ficam perdidas no tempo.
demoscene faz sempre sentido qq que seja a dimensão da máquina, mesmo que a máquina tenha specs muito limitadas e únicas, a malta tem sempre interesse em tentar puxá-la ao máximo e mostrar o que pode fazer.
acabei de ler um email que me faz notar que a Associação Portuguesa de Editores e Livreiros decidiu excluir dezenas de pequenas editoras da 96ª Feira do Livro de Lisboa "porque não há espaço". é assim que se promove a cultura em Portugal? sem os pequenos editores? -_-
it gives you a baseplate to work on. it's sometimes easier to rewrite what feels wrong and accept what feels right then to translate everything from scratch. but ofcourse it depends a lot on the quality of the translation, sometimes it is indeed easier to just human translate it from the get go.
we dont have the money for universal health care but we have tons of money for concentration camps and a surveillance society
seems amazon wishlist will increase the probability of getting your address doxxed to random 3rd parties soon, so i'm switching to throne, internet says it's better and the internet never lies! liked something i did recently? consider buying me something: throne.com/psenough

Our latest release mixes nu-metal, hip-hop and ethnic/folk influences, with a touch of romantic and platonic spiritual journey through chaos. Door213 - None of My Friends Understand What It Means mailchi.mp/ae286d070bf1... free for download as always!
Is this why god invented FLAC and petabyte SSDs? To make heretics question the quality of their 320kbps rips? 🤔
Downloaded a 320kbps mp3 version of an album that sounds "weird" compared to what i heard on the CD way back in the day i first discovered the artist, wondering if it's the ripping/transcoding or the mastering or my aging ears or all of the above. Other music sounds fine though.
Little patch to a little browser CSS animation demo i did some 15 years ago, now it's correctly viewable again! psenough.github.io/shogun_neoph... uses the stripthis library by @kesiev.bsky.social and audio by Varia.
tonight's procastination technique: brainstorm again who to poke and how to soberly describe/pitch to them a self-sustainable medialab/hackerspace/demoscene museum space in Almada. just need 15 more people to agree to pay 100eur a month and we're good to sign a lease!
fuck! i clearly jinxed by bragging about it. just wrote january 2025 on a draft article of the latest demoscene things i'm writing for skrolli. sad times, better luck next year!
is the problem that it doesn't boot without magic smoke or that you haven't got a flashcart for it yet?! pitfall ain't gonna play itself!
i do a radio show every month, picking some tracks from the netlabel i been running for 25 years. care to listen? enoughrecords.scene.org/release/enrs...
what a week, uh?
after over 4 decades of this nonsense i feel like i'm finally getting good at remembering we are already in a different year when needing to note down the date today, haven't wrote 2025 by mistake in 2026 once so far. come now, gather and praise me for my achievement internet!
yay we don't have a fascist as the president of the republic of portugal! now all we need is to reform housing, health and justice, while rebuilding what just got fucked in the storms and we're bestest country in europe. meanwhile government announces more jobs for the boys.

So last week @darya5711.bsky.social and I built this new thing to replace what OJ and then Bitfellas used to provide:
news.scene.org
Thinking about creating a Bluesky / Mastodon feeds for it as well, but not 100% sure they're really necessary.
