• cdc #1: Generation X by Binary

• demo MacOS acceptance by BRZ
• Acceptance by Breeze, aside from having very tasteful audiovisuals, implements a lot of extremely lowlevel firsts that will be missed by demosceners outside of a nearly nonexistent very small group of Mac game and demo coders from mid 1990s.
  
  The Performa 5200 is somewhere between 486 and very early Pentiums (think 60MHz Pentium), but only if you:
  - equip the x86 with the weakest possible barely working VGA adapter with super slow and small framebuffer.
  - hugely underperforming bus
  - run an OS on top that works extremely hard to *not* give you supervisor level access
  - have close to zero low level hardware or OS documentation.
  
  To "win" over this machine, you need to know 68k assembly, PowerPC assembly and literally take the machine apart and study the motherboard.
  
  A simple thing, such as installing a VBL interrupt that actually gets executed on time with no latency requires literally hacking the OS nanokernel, reverse engineering native video drivers and likely jumping through a layer of Motorola 68000 emulation.
  
  You do all this, then you do the effects and 3d engine that are heavily optimized for the particular instance of PowerPC 603 in this machine and L1/L2 cache and bus speed and then you put some real effort in design.
  
  Oh, by the way, then you invent a custom synth and get that in too.
  
  Epic effort that is likely to go unnoticed by many sceners.

• Whatever it still hacked my brain and made me stack overflow and reboot. Love it.
  
  Yeah, you are Finns I think so probably plenty of people to test on real Amigas, but LMK if you want me to try it on Fat Agnus A500 with 1MB Chip, Amiga 600 w/2MB Chip or vanilla Amiga 1200. My friend's machine is a 1MB Amiga 600, and yes I have no idea how he acquired a 1084S with a working flap :P

• By the way, anyone else got this. My friend's Amiga 600 right after the title screen (and before text scrolling):

• 64k Amiga OCS/ECS Yksi, Kaksi, Kolme by Desire [web]
• The multi-cube goraud, with transparency has never before been seen on Amiga 500, and doing space-cut or whatever the hell it was doing is even more impressive.
  
  But what really gets me is the [everything] credit. That level of pushing oneself outside of your comfort zone.. inspiring

  This just turned up the whole Amiga scene upside down.
  All hail Blitter. All hail Hackers.
