scene activity
more and more i get the feeling that the my world (the scene) has become smaller and smaller. after a chat with the overkiller it was clear to me that the dutch scene isn't alive anymore and the italian scene either.
but what about the polish scene, the slovak scene and the german scene? how did the c64 survive through all the modern thinkings and technology?
sure as hell i bet the german scene survived because the pc-sceners adopted the c64 on their parties like mekka+symposium.....

> "Emulamer" is a nice term indeed, especially when it is used by people like Murdock, people who cannot prove their supremacy over more skilled sceners otherwise. <
Isn't /VARIOUS/G-L/H_M_Murdock/ directory in HVSC a sufficient proof of Murdock's supremacy? ;-) |

cant remember if it was me or someone else who started
to use the expression 'retard scene', perhaps it popped
up in a few places at about the same time when several
people felt that things had gone way to far.
we need to have a name for the retarded and inbred
scene where backscratching and degeneration is
the norm. and for the sensitive: retard doesnt
necessarily have to refer to mentally retarded, a rolling ball that slows down is retarding without offending anyone.
unlike the offensive releases which deny much of the progress that is still going on in this scene
now back to what started this thread..
declaring the scene in a certain country to be dead
is probably not a very good way to encourage people,
and if i was an active scener in a 'dead' country
i would be rather pissed off to hear that the activity
i put in doesnt count.
but then the initial post wasnt very accurate anyway,
the polish scene doesnt live up to the reputation
some are trying to give it. yes, the very delayed
biba2 was great but apart from that i havent seen much from .pl in the last few years. i heard about some c64 news site in slovakia, and i know that the germans like to publish magazines in their own language and getting beaten by foreign demos at mekka and breakpoint. no, i am not trying to upset anyone, what i mean is that most countries are pretty much at the same level, and theres no need to ask why country A has better scene than country B, when one active coder can make so much difference.
and as usual puterman is accused for elitism when he's actually just being honest. if you think his or mine or whoevers c64 productions are crap just say so. but as usual just keeping quiet, or whining and then running off is a more popular choice. if you feel pointed out as being lame, why not stay and defend yourself. atleast i would if its about products that i take pride in having done |

Smalltown boy yeah you are right, but you know that I never meant to preach for "talkers" only. I once wrote a poem about that. It was called Creativity and Indifference ;-). |

Hollowman you forgot about well-known multiplattform 8bit party in slovakia called Forever ;-)
...and I like to read your opinions, (most of the time) probably because they are so fresh and sincere. |

> What devilish substance that is!
Slator, no, please, do coke and everything else one could think about. I just beg you, don't act like a rebelious schoolboy who just discovered that it's actually possible to get high and impress friends with speaking of it. In other words: this is not an IRC channel, full stop. |

Michal, what's up with you? :-)
Don't be so serious, this coke thingy was a joke. I figure you're concerned that innocent eyes of the uninitiated might see the public "praise" of hard drugs, but kids of that age usually hang out on the pcgames.com forum. ;-)

what a discussion! i opened this discussion to know whats up in the scene today and sometimes its a rough time, but never a waste of time!
i know there are some ppl here who takes this so serious that they left the board. i cant help it. just like one already said (t.m.r.) to commander: who will stand for your ideals if you leave?
i never heard the word 'retard' in this scene before and i think it's a quit lame word to use. it really hurts ppl that they got kicked out in such a negative way! somebody can be a lamer and everybody puts jokes on him for some time, but even scorpe is back in the scene ;-)
do we have to kill eachother? do we have to be so serious? do we have to use the word 'retard' ?
do we have to use coke? or even beter: colombiana.
and there is a diet for it......there is more than only sniffing. ;-) |
