I've finally set up my Matrix account!

I couldn't find any public #retrocomputing, #AtariST, #FPGA or #demoscene chat rooms though.

I can just wait and count on the Discord enshittification process to see the different communities switch to Matrix. Not sure how long it will take though.

Thanks to @BTowersCoding's Atari SAP player, I just re-discovered many of my old chiptunes on the Atari 8-bit Music Archive:

These tracks are all from 1991-94, full of careless naivety and outlook... different times indeed...

Several of this selection on ASMA I've created for different parts of the "Halle Project" group mega-demos which I co-organized and coded the framework for in 1993/94. Others were for intros of the ABBUC club disk magazine and some demos for our local Chaos Club crew...

Writing a custom music replay routine for #BendixG15 to play "At Doom's Gate": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no0CkQk7id0 (relevant bit starts around 6:40 or so)

This stuff immediately reminded me of The Story of Mel from The Jargon File: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-mel.html (if you know this file you're officially an old fart)

People of the #Demoscene: You're always looking for challenging and interesting platforms. Here we have one... I'm expecting some "wild" wild compo entries. I think we have to resort to using the emulator here though.

"vestige - erpholia" 4 kilobyte intro from Revision 2025 is excellent. It is like an Autechre track and video, except it takes four kilobytes (FOUR KILOBYTES, Karl!) for everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUQ-aP4SkDQ
