Packed up, packed in... Just celebrated one of my best friends' birthday and thought it could be fun to start yet another thread on Pouet... So go on, beloved demomakin' fellas ! Let's share ! :)

Your friend has a birthday on Christmas?

Almost... His birthday is the 26th... Another one I know was also born on the 26th, and so is the daughter of another friend... ^^

Turns out this became the Random Shit Chat Thread...

Don't feel bad about it, that happens every now and then.

Christmas birthdays suck! I've got a friend whose daughter was born on the 24th and another whose daughter was born on the 26th.
You're always going to have that cheap shitty uncle/family friend (like myself) who only stumps up for 1 gift cause "the days are so close together."
God, I'm a cheap bastard. Not too poor tho. ;)

yeh. it sucks. I meet my fam just for a good xmas lunch and they still have to shake and blah and gift. shit I'm getting older. but sure I like the xtra cake with the coffee. :D

If it sucks, put it in your pants.

Nothing like giving some bloke a Fleshlight for Chrissie that he has to open in front of his whole family. Eh?
"Happy Birthday!"

I think you got your wish Korg BTW. ;)

My second son was born December 12th ;) just enough days away from christmas! And I finally got my new windows phone two days ago, the nokia lumia 800. As a silverlight developer and student, I'm going to have lots of fun making apps and releasing them to the marketplace for free, yay! :D Good and sleepless times ahead.

I was born 02/12 & it never stopped my mum giving me a "combined" pressie.
Starting to see where my stinginess comes from...

Thank you all for these awesome replies ! :) While we're at it, are there sceners who were born on Xmas, or really close to ?

A lot of sceners born on Jan 3, that I know.

That's what she said.

Who? Your mom?

"A demo is a form of interactive electronic art and not generated in real time," says Stamnes, who we met in 1987 at age 11.

My, my, my... How long has it been since the last time I posted on the pouet BBS ? I feel some of you will try to compute that, well whatever. Trying to keep at Balmer's peek right now, got some good booze to help me.

It's some sort of lucky event this thread comes out handy for the big coup de cœur I wanna send the scene right now. How cool's that ? I wanna be honest and open about that. I love all the work all of you guys've been doing all these years to keep the scene alive through your awesome and passionate work. You all rock !

I've been silent all these years. Felt ashamed and thought I'd better be humble. Ringofyre, hope you're doin' fine on the other side of this lump of rock ! All of you, keep going. Make us dream or go "meh, can do better" about your outstanding work !

I didn't wish for sofascening being a thing, yet here we are. Gosh, I wonder how long a post can be before it gets eventually cropped or rejected. My, there's so much to say, right ? I'm wondering if a post can rival with an oldschool scrolltext.

Funny, as I'm gonna say things as they pop up my mind, I've always felt like I couldn't code well enough to "make a demo about it", however all you guys made me "want to believe".

I'm typing as ideas flow. Hope some are coming. Well, gotta hope so ! I remember... sorta... Who was that schizophrenic guy who introduced us to "Dead deer" ? Oh yeah, bartoshi was it ? Right ? Is he still with us nowadays ? Hope you're doing fine. Was your cancer real or just part of your imagination ?

Dear Sir GarbageTruck, it's a pleasure no matter what to watch you introduce and comment stuff. Wayfinder, do I remember and still love the track you wrote for fr:027. _kb, keep going, and that's an understatement. Chaos, ryg, what are you up to these days ?

I can't stop now. There's so much to say, now that I find a use to this thread ? How are you gonna respond ? There was a time I made some of you laugh. We shared a bit. I thought I said too much, but is there ever too much to be said ? Is there too much to be done ? I wanna keep dreaming. Keep us dreaming. I wanna see "Rink-a-dink redux redux" ! I wanna Voyage again on the wings of Razor like it's 1911. I wanna play Vespertino.

I wanted to be part of your community, even if I think I won't ever be able to code like you do. I wanna have fun with all of you the way you do, having a good beer and some laughs. I hope there will be a Revision, a Breakpoint or whatever I can attend.

You rule, and I'm glad I can say this to all of you. Cheers buddy, and keep the good things coming. Hoping to see 8088 colours on an XT someday !

Thank you. See you someday !
