• wild Wild pc-10: Panda³ by Panda Cube [web]
• Placing that Panda in the cube is pretty much promising it moves! HOW DARE YOU! I had a hard time not hating this, had to repeatedly tell me "Judge it without the Panda!" Also! Why not laser eyes? Or smoke? Or BOTH? Well, anyways ↓

• 4k procedural graphics Windows Who Left That Shit In Our Engine Room by Loonies [web]
• Technically impressive, but i don't feel that scene at all. Don't know. Simply doesn't touch me. Still thumb.

• 4k Amiga OCS/ECS Painter's Euphoria by Loonies [web] & Unstable Label [web]
• Minimalistic. Almost TOO minimalistic. Guess nothing can be wrong, if there's almost nothing eh? ;) Very good soundtrack, good design, good sync.

• 4k Windows vierKA by Nuance [web]
• Nice use of light temperature colors =) Also nice sounds. Not too much action here, and i slightly dislike this clap/pingpong thingy (i know that this stuff is rather difficult ;)
  
  Still gets the thumb :)

• 8k Windows 8K Reality by Fulcrum [web]
• Good news first : it runs =)
  
  When starting, it does nothing initially, but goes to background and gives me something like a blue/pink menubar(?) over the desktop. The cursor goes to busy state. If i switch to the application, Win7 goes like "xyz doesnt react, watch wanna do now", also the background goes black - while keeping said menubar (full white, if try to escape). If i just leave it in either state, it eventually goes full black and the music starts. I guess i wasn't patient enough :D
  
  Rewatching it several times, missing tones or tones which are half off really hurt the ears :/ That's what you get if you cover something THAT famous :D Also, some stuff looks really cheap (i watched it on the stream initially, compression made it look somewhat textured). But you know what, it runs, a lot of work went into it, it is 8K, and the scenes which feel right in my own subjective universe, are pretty decent (plasma, cube, sword somewhat) ... so, have your thumb already ;)

• 8k Windows 8K Reality by Fulcrum [web]
• I'm a bit puzzled about this. Of course it brings back old memories, but i felt it was compressed too much. Not from the technical point of view, because this is no normal 8k one trick pony raymarcher with maintheme, reprise, reprise, fin - rather an "as close as possible" approach of a remake - which certainly eats up more size. So sizecoding-wise it might be impressive, but it fails to reproduce the original in a proper way imho. Anyway, the reproducing is done by the brain, no matter how good or bad the impulse (the demo) is. I would guess almost everybody judges - as a first reaction - by what this reconstructed memory makes him feel like (yay! oldschool ♥) Others might skip this step entirely and think "yeah i got it, remake, but how PRECISE is it?" - and rate it rather bad, because it's not original (designwise, as it's copied) and also not what the average 8K coder goes for to make something that looks, and sounds, GOOD. I think we're in a region where the scene has no scale yet, and there might actually never be such a scale.
  
  As a simpler example : i tried to figure out what Mona would look like if i had actually never seen the Mona Lisa. Go on and try it ;) Everybody's first reaction is "holy crap that IS Mona Lisa!", but in fact our brain does the work here, and after rewatching it certain times it's much less impressive.
  
  Likewise, if i try to rate what actually IS here, minus the reconstruction of my brain of "2nd" then there's not much (it's just a remake, without own design) besides lots of effort to make this happen. The crazy thing is, that sticking to the original even causes some things to be rather bad, because of size restriction, and there might be effects where more varying could have saved space AND been better (that's an assumption of course) And each of these tradeoffs is perceived differently by each person viewing it.
  
  I certainly know something about the pain of trade off decisions, since i bring down code to even more insane sizes. So i won't thumb it down, but for a thumb up i would at least expect one of the versions to work ;) (Win7 64bit, Quad Q9300 , Nvidia GeFocre 9800 GTX+)
