- I’m sorry, but, no. Re-using the Kevin demoscene meme, which was one of the most opinionated demo from Revision with themes such as latent discrimination towards disabled people. Using the pedobear meme, which is somehow rape culture – just think of anyone who was raped looking at such a stupid meme.
I didn’t laugh and I didn’t find it funny at all. Man, am I diverging that much from demoscene jokes and people from it? I feel uncomfortable right now. - sucksadded on the 2017-06-19 14:26:15

- demo Windows Soul Splitter by Cocoon [web]
- It feels like a recycled demo, but the overall looks good. However, I had a very strange feeling about the city scene in which it looks like you’re rendering into a smaller framebuffer and upscale, which gives a poor and weak visual aspect.
Also, chromatic aberration is a nice effect, but you over abuse it.
The music is “regular”. Boom boom. Not my cup of tea.
In the end, as always, a good demo, but not as good as I thought it’d be. :) - rulezadded on the 2017-04-27 10:28:13
- 64k Windows Vessel by Conspiracy [web]
- I can’t give a thumb down, because, hell, it’s an impressive 64k. But as LJ said, not crediting Aldo Aréchar and Matthew DiVito disappointed me. Almost all scenes are the same – even the opening roses can be found in the original audiovisual clip by Aldo. You had the place to credit both the two guys. Why did you not?
Having hesitated between a thumb down and a piggie, you’ll have the piggie, because it’s still an amazing work for a 64k. - isokadded on the 2017-04-26 14:20:21

- demo Windows sp04 - Hello, Kevin - A Dental Journey by Spacepigs [web]
- I’ll iterate over, but I said I’m pretty convinced it wasn’t your intention. The main problem is the the emphasis on the teeth – you even make them move and upscale them bigger than the whole scene at some time; the use of a very, very common name – often used as an insult btw and the violence. The second part of the demo – when Kevin gets hit in the face by the ball – made me very uncomfortable. Like “Wait. The whole beginning was about his extreme dental condition, and now, you hit him in the face and explode all of his teeth? Wtf?!”.
Once again, I don’t know whether you meant that, but it reminded me kids in kindergarten. Afraid of another kid who had skin issues and tried to knock him down – who’s actually never witnessed such a cruel scene in one’s childhood? That’s the feeling I had. Now you have the choice: try to understand and accept that people do get offended, or go the I-don’t-care-about-how-people-react way. We all have different sensibilities and it’s important to adapt when you don’t know your audience.
And I know there’re more layers to your demo. I like some weird aspects of it. But having some smart things doesn’t excuse the discrimination. And once and for all, I’m not saying you want to mock disabled people. I say you do that by latent discrimination and I hope you understand I’m not judging you. I’d also like to thank you for being comprehensive and reading me, I truly appreciate that you make the effort. - isokadded on the 2017-04-19 11:56:21
- demo Windows sp04 - Hello, Kevin - A Dental Journey by Spacepigs [web]
- I think my comment was not very clear. I’m not saying you meant to mock disabled people – I’m actually pretty convinced you didn’t mean it. As I said on IRC, the problem is more about latent discrimination. I don’t want to bring that up once again but I just want people to be aware of that phenomena. I wanted to reach you, the authors of the demo, and tell you about the fact that it might offend people – and I know several ones who felt very bad about that demo. And I’m not saying you’re bad persons or whatever – that’s the whole point of latent discrimination: the act of using words and doing things that we don’t know they might offend people, but they really do, in a hidden way, because of how society has shaped our minds and habits and makes us do very bad jokes without even coming to the realization of it. Some years ago, a good friend of mine made the same ranting at me because I was making jokes without knowing the harm I was doing. And today I feel happy he was there to point those things out. That’s the whole point of my intervention here: sure you can find the demo funny as you wish. But to fight discriminations, it’s important that people are aware of what flies hidden. That being said, cheers!
