• I mean, the solution is _so_ simple. Just vibe code a Pouet replacement, host it somewhere, wave goodbye to us Luddites who inexplicably value things like "art" or "craft" or "anything of value, really", and foster a new, thriving community made of...
  
  people like you.
  
  Well, fuck.

  You could have the same debate about hand-painting a portrait versus just clicking on the button of a camera.

  
  
  Absolutely not.
  
  Yes, a camera frees you from getting out your paint brushes and a canvas and painting the image yourself, but even with a camera,
  
  You choose a location. You choose a motive. You perhaps arrange the people and stuff that you want to photograph, or set up lights, or other equipment.
  
  You set up the camera. You balance ISO, shutter speed, aperture, you set the focus, and even if you leave it on auto, you check the viewfinder or display and don't just press a button and hope anything comes out.
  
  But first of all you don't just sit at home and tell your camera to go out and photograph some stuff, and if it's not what you wanted, tell it to try again.
  
  And then you don't print your photo, go into a gallery, and hang your photo next to the paintings, and you certainly don't visit a gathering of painters and go "look at what I've made". (ofc in the beginnings of photography people did that but turns out, they don't anymore. Curious!)
  
  You didn't code anything, you didn't do any graphics (let's skip the music, different discussion). You didn't acquire new skills or sharpened your existing ones. You may have learned how to prompt AI better but that's akin to getting experienced in calling a pizza delivery service and then serving it to your friends, going "I cooked this". "A delivery service is just a tool for my culinary expression".
  
  Seriously, the difference between "I made something" vs "I asked someone to make something" is basically Sesame Street level, and I don't really know how to discuss anything with people who can't even comprehend a concept as simple as this.

  There's an output, so I had to intervene at some point.

  
  
  Had you though? Would there be any difference if you just told an agent to zip the result, upload it, create a pouet account and add it here? All you did was the grunt work, the stuff the machine could easily done by itself, but for some reason you decided that the boring, mechanical part is the part you wanted to do while leaving the interesting, creative part to the Bullshit Generator. If Claude (or whatever) wanted to prove it's capable of writing NES intros it could have just done it itself without leaving that to an unpaid minion.
  
  Yet, here we are, and the only good thing anyone was able to say was "oh look how edgy and provocative it is". They can't even explain how and why, or how that's any different from the same edgy, provocative shit from two years ago.

  I think the issue is not that you didn't keep it to yourself but that you didn't actually _do_ anything.

• I'm fed up with nostalgia pandering in PC demos.
  
  Which makes it even more impressive that I love this demo so much. But it's doing so many things right that others don't.
  
  First, the premise just fits. A 40 years group anniversary is _the_ occasion to pull on those Xennial heartstrings - and it comes from a genuine place. It's not some cheap faux-school attempt, it's an honest reminiscence, and that alone elevates it miles above the usual unprompted boing ball you see so often.
  
  And then all the details are just right. Pretty much all the typography is proper PETSCII/ASCII/ANSI, with the right fonts, the right palettes, the right techniques, the right UI and beloved tools from each platform, and a visible love for the medium and the culture around it. And when it deviates from "canon", it's done with artistic intent. This alone is enough to raise the bar for this kind of demo for hopefully the next decades to come. Right? ... right? O.O
  
  But then it goes on. That soundtrack. The way it switches from SID to Amiga to AdLib to modern production, each one again done just right, and then mixes it all up and goes extra hard, and all of this while staying true to its melancholic nature with those lyrics and those 80s and Futurepop vibes. The way it's doing all that and still gets to be an instant earworm.
  
  And as if that's not enough already, all of it is wrapped in (almost) impeccable direction. It keeps throwing thing after thing at you, but all of it makes sense narratively, and the motion graphics and transitions, as detailed and overwhelming as they sometimes seem, act as a guide through the eras. You may lose track of everything that's happening right now, but the emotional and story beats always hit.
  
  My one point of criticism would be the last "act" where it goes newschool. You can feel the visuals running out of steam a bit. It's still good but the effects and transitions lack some of the polish and momentum that the previous acts had, and that fact clashes with the music going into full-on mode at the same time.
  
  But that's a pretty minor nitpick in the grand scheme of things. The whole production just oozes love and dedication, and has an emotional quality that only very few demos are able to reach.
  
  And also all those fake endings and including your PC's desktop in the right places - *chef's kiss*.
