I've decided to make actual news more prominent and moved TOP STORY to the place after 3 actual news. It can be moved anywhere now so If something really important is happening it can be put to top again.

Ok, my comments in Emufuxxor post got edited by other editor (ah yeah even the chief editor needs supervision sometimes). Anyway I'll put my 2 cents in here then. People should try to make their product abailable to everyone, not make fuxxors.

Rough: ;-) Okay. Yesterday I couldn't connect to net, so I'll add it today. Thanx for info. And hey people it seems this is real hardcore party weekend ;-). There is a Demobit 2001 party in Nitra-Slovakia this weekend. I'm of course visiting it even when it's only *yuck* ;-) PC party as it's the best slovak computer party, and I actually live in Nitra, so no problemo ;-). Have a nice weekend everybody.

For those who didn't know, SGSC
and HVSC are completely different projects and even aiming at completely diferent
types of c64 music. HVSC is a collection of SID - standard emulated c64 music
format. CGSC is a collection of three different C64 formats (MUS,STR,WDS). MUS,
STR are music data, WDS files contain song lyrics!!! Read more in CGSC
FAQ. It's very interesting project. Use Sidplay2 to play the tunes.

Anyhow, pretty unfair for Highend PC users that C64 music is participating vs them on TP11.

For second time there is a post about somebody leaving the scene "because" (there was also Mr.Alpha's posting, you maybe remember that incident). There were more people leaving the scene, e.g. AEG and SONIC (GBA games producing), or Cadaver (which lost interest when he realised that his next project would be impossible to implement without limitation and which meanwhile returned) but they left giving a good reason. I remember sooner this year there was some guy who decided to leave the scene and invest his powers to politics. All those had a good reason to leave and said it out loud. But is whinning about emulator geeks, irc based groups acting virutally (????), lack of respect from newcomers and similar crap an excuse? Didn't you just found yourself lacking motivation, found yourself inactive for all those years and running out of good excuses of your inactivity? Yes the scene in general (not only c64 scene) sucks these days. We know that already! Please next time use plain&straightforward and what is most important true reasons. Do you need examples? Here they come: "I lost my interest", "I grew up from this hobby", "I've found other interests", "I fell in love with a girl", "I'm married with children", "I found a job which demands all my creative energy", etc. etc. blah blah blah. I really don't like when somebody instead of fighting against "lamenes" uses it as an excuse of his inactivity and lack of motivation. This is not a divorce dudes, you don't need to give the judge all the dirty details just to show how good you are.

"Is whining about emulator geeks, irc based groups acting virutally (??), lack of respect from newcomers and similar crap an excuse?" - It's not an excuse, it is a reason to leave. It shouldn't be necessary to fight against lameness, lameness shouldn't be there.
ThBl
[24] :

It's an excuse for lazy people and okay if you wan't so it's a *very bad* reason to leave. I take these reasons as a direct insult of scene, a spit into the face. That's why I'm taking it so personally every time. Excuse moi, if you, or anyone else think these reasons are credible and are not just a hiding of the real truth, feel free to provide them in your farewell, you will get the same treatment as Neotec, Mr.Alpha and all the rest who finally departed after years of inactivity leaving just stench behind them. IRC based groups? I don't know such. And what is "not acting at all", and finally departing giving scene a "fart-ewell" in comparison to "acting virtually" (whatever undecipherable meaning these two words has).
CreaMD
[25] :
27. Dec 2001 11:44  
Interesting news about Neotec, especially since this is the first time I hear anything about it. I wonder who posted those news... It should actually say "anonymous" underneath it, since I definately did not post it.
[26] :
27. Dec 2001 11:45  
Btw: If it wasn't for the internet and emulators, the latest Padua productions probably would have never happened. The Padua teamwork heavily relies on the internet.
[27] :
27. Dec 2001 12:05  
Actually I thought you (Anonym/Padua) posted the news! I think the author should have left his handle behind. But maybe he already could foresee that his statement would not be liked, and that's why he preferred to stay in the shadow. It often happens that people who feel criticized criticise back. However I don't understand why you, CreaMD, are so upset - you yourself are making fun of those retro people only active on the net etc. From Neotec's quote (given it is real) I understand he criticizes exactly the same...
ThBl
[28] :
27. Dec 2001 12:31  
I criticise, make fun, and this way I try to influence the things. Most important I'm staying. If I ever leave the scene, it will be because I will fail to be active, and I will (not proudly, but at least sincerely) admit that fact. That's what I'm asking from those who after years leave the scene and make false excuses, or some final statements like Mr.Alpha or Neotec. As one assembly slogan said: "Coder does it with routine". So if anyone leaves, please give us some sign of real care, instead of insulting the people who still stay in the scene jungle.
CreaMD

The IP address of original poster is lost as the message was edited meanwhile and I did the system the way that it only stores the identification of the last person who touched the message, so the anonymous poster will stay anonymous ;-). Anonym/Padua, you are right, internet helps, if used wisely, and Padua is a good example of reasonable use of Internet. If not the best. By the way, thanx for Xmas card Thunderblade (it came today ;-).
CreaMD
[30] :
27. Dec 2001 13:33  
Some people don't want to influence things to become like they should, they just expect them (as I understood Neotec) to be like they want. If something differs from your expectations, you can try to change it or to turn away from it. Which possibility to choose, depends on how hard it would be to change and whether it is considered worth it. The third possibility always is to reconcile with how it is and go on nevertheless. Neotec chose to leave. His words shouldn't be taken personal. Instead, everyone should think about how the scene and its activities could be made attractive enough to make people stay. Just my opinion. :) I can understand you CreaMD why you are so upset, because right you are one of those who exactly does this - c64.sk surely makes the C64 scene more attractive. Maybe Neotec wasn't satisfied with something but surely it wasn't YOUR fault, so there's no need to be angry.
[31] :
27. Dec 2001 18:59  
I wouldn't have anything personal againt Neotec or Mr.Alpha, if there wasn't news containing their "last witty words" posted here. If they don't have anything constructive to say they should rather save their breath (=shut their mouth up) and get out. The word is silver, silence gold.
CreaMD
[32] :
27. Dec 2001 21:22  
Who stays silent, agrees. And that would be wrong - everyone has the right to say his opinion.

Coder does it with routine. C64.sk would proudly spread their farewell note, demo, music, graphics whatever production for c64 ;-).
CreaMD
[34] :
27. Dec 2001 22:29  
Since there is a new message by Neotec (or someone who is using his nick?) I'm going to trash it, as I've trashed the first news. Since now all personal farewell notes or group jumpings will be considered betanews. So will be commebacks ;-) (unless they will also be supported by a release ;-).

What do you think about the new Digital Talk?
Nice texts, but the logo really sucks, too much green :(
But high quality like ever ;) I think there should be some more texts from readers, and at least there sould be a tutorial for music or something like.

attention: the competition results on www.theparty.dk and ojuice.net are not exactly the same (see c64 graphics, where the 2nd and the 1st place are exchanged). i assume the correct results were shown at the pricegiving, and these are the ones you can read here on c64.sk

Thanks for the new link on the MM releases. Does anybody have full releases of TP? And @lordnikon: What should be seen on a real C64 in your 4K? I ran it on CCS and VICE and it both displayed a DYSP. The new Triad games are re-releases btw if that's in interest for anyone (I dont give a fuck personally)
[45] :
02. Jan 2002 06:00  
TP full releases aren't still available. 4kb is not much for great stunning effects and it's sure hard and demanding to stuff even DYSO routine into it. I've checked the new Triad releases and practically all were just previews and few years old ;-(. Yes all of them were very (!) interesting on technical side, but that was all. I don't know how much today's crackers care about charts, but if there is still some coverage of this are I'm sure the maintainer of the charts will check if those games already weren't released by some other cracker group. For never stuff by Triad check their release of ANISO (but that is just a logical game, nothing special)
