[ ZINE: The Radio Show ] #16 Even nostalgia isn't the same anymore

The scene is nothing if not a giant ball of sobbing about how everything was better when computers were just growing their eighth bit - but is that a good thing? Are we taking up the space from the future with the past? What's better, to make a fresh demo on an old platform, or an old demo on a fresh platform? The show dives into these weighty questions while, naturally, reminiscing about old times, because of course.

Send us your questions, suggestions and voice messages to zineradioshow@scene.org

Join the discussion on the Demoscene Discord server or our own.

It's official! InérciaDemoparty 2021 will happen physically in Lisbon, Portugal, in the weekend of October 30th and 31st. While we are still finishing the last details - health and safety, mainly - we have the OK from all parts involved and we will kill that "saudade" (watch inércia'19 invitation for the meaning...) that we all have from seeing our friends.

For more information, visit our website and spread the word. Pre-register and save your spot. And please, pretty please, with sugar on top, work on your demos... Remote entries are welcome, but we'd love to see your ass down here!

Don't forget to come!

[ Demoparty.net News ] MountainBytes 2022: COVID survey results are in

Some weeks ago Echtzeit has created a survey on your thoughts on COVID measures for demoparties.

Now that party organising across Europe is finally picking up again, debates have sparked around the right level of measures, safety concepts and the vaccine in the demoscene, just like everywhere else.

In order to support organisers with reliable numbers, we conducted a survey and collated the results from 79 respondents from the (online) active scene into this analysis. Organisers and others alike may freely use and reference this document for their COVID-concepts, party planning, etc.
