#MODtober Day 18:

The Weather is X-C26 by Amgorb

From the demo Broadband by T-Rex

Another exceptionally high quality tracked tune that held up against the new streamed soundtracks that demos were starting to use.

atbia3 Tracked Music by Dune / Orange, released 5 August 2000

#MODtober Day 17 catchup:

atbia3 by Dune

demozoo.org/music/49662/

From Nonstop by Orange demozoo.org/productions/...

This is the kind of tracked music that really doesn't sound or feel tracked. Esp in the era where demos were starting to use MP3 music. Some great tracking in this tune

I love the Amiga Demoscene but sometimes I watch an AGA accelerated demo and feel like "Hey - you know it's okay to just make a PC demo, right?"

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You donโ€™t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you donโ€™t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as youโ€™re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if youโ€™re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Donโ€™t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that youโ€™ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney โ€” no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Cropped photo of my TV displaying the opening room of the game โ€œLumo 2โ€ - itโ€™s a hexagonal space, displayed in black and white, with a door in the back, and a corpse of an egg (having cracked his shell) wearing boxing gloves and a pair of boots.

It doesnโ€™t quite beat Hades II with its ability to pet the frog, but the opening to Lumo 2 has me HOWLING at the mysterious egg-like corpse in its opening room.

RIP Dizzy. You arenโ€™t missed at all.

family ties final Tracked Music by Fndr + Radix / The Black Lotus, released 30 March 1997

#MODtober Day 16:

Family Ties (final) by Radix

From the demo Captured Dreams by The Black Lotus

Another tune that I fell in love with long before seeing the demo. Radix has put out so many AMAZING tunes that it's impossible for me to pick a favorite. (Warn: demo NSFW)

IKR? It actually took me a bit to remember how I did it. I remember only having like 6 or 7 floppies to work with so I installed the base set one day, then took the floppies back and wrote the next set and installed that. Skipped perl entirely because that was another day's worth of floppies ๐Ÿคฃ

Trump can simply give $40 billion in US tax money to his pals in Argentina, openly admit it is for the intended purpose of keeping the MAGA allied right wing government in power, and pocket billions for himself. The US has no laws anymore and that's your money they are stealing.

Nah - you don't have to have 20+ years experience to enjoy using Linux. We love to joke about how much you had to go thru to run Linux BITD but It's great that more people are using it today

Stranglehold Tracked Music by Jeroen Tel, released 22 December 1995

Nice use of XM "instruments" to (ab)use the single sample.

Never ran that one. I was a beta tester for Corel Linux though. Still have those discs (unless I sent them to @bloopmuseum.bsky.social ). It was good - very user-friendly. Very comfy desktop.
