I concur with redcrab regarding the hassle with cash for the snack wagon - add a few EUR to the fee and make X'2018 an all-inclusive event.
Also, a direct flight Umeå, Alvik (UME) <-> Eindhoven (EIN) for me and Dane. Norrland and redcrab can also benefit from this. |

Personally I like the food truck and wouldn't mind some more for 101% all-inclusive, but I know there are people with a different view. But arguing about food wagon and money? Really?
Come on, 6 free beers are like a warm meal, take a 7th free beer and you even have a drink with your meal.
Some people... |

? It's not about the cost. That's totally fine. It is about handling cash which I lazily prefer not to do. Especially when it is (at least in my case) in a non-native format :) |

It's general knowledge that any fritwagon = money laundry. I think the organizers don't want to get involved in criminal activities, that's all. :) |

Quoting TrapCome to think of it ... actually, I have one thing I would like to be fixed for the next X party. Please try to reduce the lag between audio and visual of the democompo. The sound was about 100-200ms delayed compared to what you saw on screen and a lot of the timing that was made, didn't really work. For our demo it was very clear, when you compare to running on a normal setup.
That's a good one. The video feed went through a scaler/switcher. This created a small lag of the video signal because of the processing. The audio came directly direct from the C64s and were fed via DI boxes to the mixer. Meaning, the audio was ahead of the video. To compensate we wanted to use a delay the mixer for the audio. So there might have gone something wrong there...
I will put it on the list of improvements (or better: things not to forget) |

Quoting Peacemaker- Its saying C64 Compo, not 64 reloaded(did not even know that exists)-compo ;) use a goddamn vsp-safe c64 :P
I still wonder who spread this rumour (and why). Real (vanilla) C64s were used in the compo. |

Quoting TrapThe sound was about 100-200ms delayed compared to what you saw on screen and a lot of the timing that was made, didn't really work.
Were you sitting at the far back, by any chance? Sound travels at 300 m/s, so even on the direct path from speakers to listener, there's a 100 ms delay for every 30 m.
Normally, as long as the audio is later than the video, the brain will compensate for the delay, and you won't notice. If the audio precedes the video, there's no compensation and it feels weird. So I agree with the organisers that adding a delay on the audio makes sense.
Still, if you heard a delay, then you did. It might be that at your location, the delay (due to distance and/or reflections on the walls) was simply too great, which broke the illusion. |

While talking about the food truck: is "patat & frikandel" the cheapest choice or just the quickest and the most accessible?
I mean, there's a ton of different choices on the market, with stuff like pulled pork, falafel, proper hamburgers, Indian food, pizza. I wouldn't mind something a bit more sophisticated. |
