• game Amstrad CPC Puzzle Bobble by Crazy Piri [web]
• Tried the new version, there is some animation of enemies falling after making matches, which was missing before. Sometimes things are a bit flickery, but otherwise this is a good remake with more musics and backgrounds than the original.

• demo Amstrad CPC Onescreen Colonies #2 by Vanity [web]
• Liked what I've seen, works fine on my real CPC.
  
  First part, it's impressive the number of sprites over split rasters, so smooth!
  
  Second part, diagonal rasterbars are wow, I see this R technique that moves half mode 0 pixel is used, to make it look like mode 1 with full 16 colors. I guess also palette changing and/or vram offset per line? Wonder if a future improvement of the effect could also rotate those rasters in realtime (like the latest Benediction demo does with the kefren bars)
  
  Thumbs up just for the demo not taking any position about the scrolltext, since the it is in French anyway, I don't even understand or care about the drama.

• My post can be taken under any context. If everyone is separating people in the good-bad buckets, anyone can be the Nazi, even those who call others Nazis or other epithets (like far-right alt-right and whatever), because the title sticks, it puts them automatically to the subhuman category.
  
  And I need to say something, but I am sure this will put me on the pro-Putin bucket list. So I have to preface it with "I don't support what Putin does, it's totally wrong!" (I am actually angry that a country in the civilized world decides to invade another country in our home Europe, it's close proximity to most of us, and makes me wonder if things are stable in the world).
  
  Ok, after I did this preface, I only want to mention the one thing that rubbed me wrong in this whole situation. Instant virtue signalling from the media and all the world about poor Ukraine and evil Russia. Instantly profiles all around social media with yellow blue flags, we stand with Ukraine, solidarity, Onlyfans modes and pornhub caring. Suddenly the people switch from an old narrative to a new one, like everyone knows what's going on in eastern Europe, have taken a side while they don't understand the complexity of the situation and all others who might simply want to discuss in more depth the complexities of what is going in certain Ukranian regions, might be called Putin apologists. Meanwhile a lot of bombardment by images and videos of destruction and poor people, some of them fake news (like showing images and explosions being from the war, but some are footage from years ago, like some gas explosion in China, etc). And I am not saying it's fake, I am not saying war is not happening, but how can I trust the media when it's obviously news trying to sensationalize things towards a certain people.
  
  And the trouble most people will see the news and instantly it's going to be a wave of sensationalization towards certain narratives and everybody suddenly caring fueling the senationalization of certain groups or countries more. It might be more easy to fall into this virtue signaling, with this war as it's obvious which country is the invader and which the invaded and anyone supporting the other side will look obviously bad. But my annoyance here is not whether to support someone (both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers are anyway in shit right now, in fact I'd think the Russian soldiers are more demoralized sent to a war being the bad guys), but how easy the media and social creates a barrage of virtue signalling, and now regular people who might want to discuss might be put in the bad-guy bucket (although I don't think a demoscene forum is the best place).
  
  Because that shit happened with other groups, and most mainstream media dominate one opinion and the other opinion is called far right. Because this virtue signalling and media sensationalization split the regular people in pro covid restrictions and anti lockdowns, and now people are hating each other. Because they were reprogrammed like pavlovian dogs from the mainstream. I'll admit it if you tell me that I was also reprogrammed by the alt right cycles (except I will not accept the are far right or even alt,. because that's a strong accusation, one of the context of my "we are all nazis if you wish" is also that). But that's happening all over the place and it's making me sick. It is a (let's use another recent "dogwhistle") Mass Formation Psychosis. See something sensational on the news, start with the bumper stickers, create a global narrative of good vs bad guys. Where good/bad = the regular people whose opinions support the perceived good/bad in the world.
  
  Sometimes I wonder if I should be writing these things here. But I should own the things I believe. If people post certain stuff, I should tell my opinion, even if I will be on the unpopular side.
