[c_reider@sonomu.club]

@tsrono @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Cognessence @oscillik @Rushup_Dee lmao, i've listened to these more times than i care to admit.

[elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org]

@Cognessence exactly!
Thesis link, might work in the morning. Very annoying server error https://polen.itu.edu.tr/items/4d4df2ee-b5bc-431d-b2e1-25925b98d9e3

i did talk to older guys when I did the interviews for thesis hmm but I don’t remember the exact age range. Or you may want to take part in an updated version to be with new interviews @sean_ae
Maybe some nanoloop to play with again

Super nice thread sad to leave for bed! Argh just when @c_reider joined in.

@Cognessence @oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee yes! i loved those. it also introduced me to rube goldberg.

[emenel@post.lurk.org]

@oscillik @Cognessence @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee i was also doing that. they are not mutually exclusive

[c_reider@sonomu.club]

@elifyalvac @Cognessence @sean_ae @oscillik @Rushup_Dee oof, y'all euros going to bed at the wrong time

[tsrono@mastodon.social]

@c_reider i can't handle much of them so i ain't gotta worry about that but it's very interesting to hear it in these contexts no matter. love that someone put all that work in

@elifyalvac @sean_ae @c_reider @oscillik @Rushup_Dee c.reider is right. The night is young! The day is just beginning.

Look forward to the server behaving properly soon so I can read this.

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@emenel @oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Wonderful to hear! On both counts.

[miblo@mas.to]

@Cognessence @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Ohhh right, yeah, I think I get the two wrongs bit now, maybe? I mean, just that B♭ figure – D-F-D-B♭-D – was crazily throwing me off, I kept hearing that first D as an E♭, which had been in the bass! Amazing stuff.

[qebo@c.im]

@sean_ae @janne808 Just for the record, the PiStorm cannot emulate the 2 meg chip ram needed by Quad Track, so you need to find an original memory extension for the Agnus trapdoor..

Best solution is a 1200 (with PiStorm or other) but that combo can be anything from 700£ to 1300£. Unless of course you go for a A4000 for ~£2500-3000

[qebo@c.im]

@Rushup_Dee @sean_ae it's tons of fun!

[janne808@lacommune.social]

@qebo @sean_ae Yes, only the later A500 revisions can do 2MB Chip RAM to begin with. A600 can do it if you can find one for a reasonable price.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@janne808 @qebo eesh, ok then, as you were

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@kaneel @sean_ae @Rushup_Dee I like that you saw! ️

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@miblo @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee I'm glad that that worked out for you!

I should admit that I rarely think about these things consciously in playing, and found that in reading (in a search for higher-level examples that weren't just based on pure tone / sound stuff.) So respect to you for more deliberately trying it out!

(After the fact of playing obviously you notice these things - patterns - and may investigate "why", but generally in the moment it is instinctive. )

[miblo@mas.to]

@Cognessence @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Oh yeah, of course! By the way, that figure, with fresher ears and at half-speed, pretty sure I'm now hearing right as E♭-F-E♭-B♭-D. 🫣

[elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org]

@Cognessence what else have you got there? I still play my 3DO Gog games although I had to pause that for a year or so now due to work commitments. But I always go back to Heroes of Might and Magic 2, and 3 is ofc amazing - My dad made a whole map for it. I need to translate that into english. Then there are the Might and Magic 6-7-8 series rpg versions. Oh no let’s not restart them now

[elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org]

@Cognessence + thesis link should work now. There is a picture there with him :’)

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@elifyalvac ah, lovely! Finally reading will commence.

Thank you, server. Therver.

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@elifyalvac that’s quite a nice collection you have! Like you I haven’t actually played video games in years, really, despite still being interested in them…between work or music making and being on here there doesn’t to be as much time for it.

I mainly have old point n click adventures, like the ‘Broken Sword’ series, ‘Grim Fandango’, ‘Monkey Island’, ‘Sam and Max’…most of them, actually; and more games I loved as a kid, like ‘MDK’, the ‘Worms’ series, ‘Little Big Adventure’, the ‘Creatures’ series. A couple of less old indie games like ‘Botanicular’ - those ‘S.T.A.L.K.E.R’ games.

Am totally guilty of getting things on sale and never playing them too.
