  Other than that, the replies have so far focused either on something someone else has said, or something I've supposedly said but clearly haven't.

  
  
  Ok fine, I'll bite. Let's reply to what you said directly. Because the fun part here is that _you_ are the one making one wishy washy strawman argument after the next, and haven't managed to address anything that's actually _in_ the demo at all.

  This is the establishment pushing establishment views packaged as if they were subversive or contrarian: preponderance as punk.

  
  
  Two logical fallacies in this:
  
  1. Nobody claimed it was punk. There's a lot of guitars in the soundtrack, yes, and the point is presented in a rather loud way, but this doesn't make it "contrarian", it just means that there's something that according to the authors really needs saying, and after all the bullshit that has been going on on this very site in the last weeks alone, I'd wholeheartedly agree.
  
  2. You're conflating "establishment" with societal consensus. You're right in that punk goes against established power structures, but that doesn't mean that punks start murdering people left and right because, actually, they kinda agree with the "establishment" that this is a bad thing to do (billionaires notwithstanding of course). Of course you could construe an argument now that what I call consensus is in fact brainwashing by a small leftist elite that's operating above even the for the most part conservative and right wing governments in the western world, but then please excuse me in advance for laughing about the stupid far right conspiracy theory that this would be.

  the lyrics seems to make the point that equality and solidarity means total, unquestioning acceptance of the authors as the sole judges and jurors in every case of linguistic minutiae, however misconstrued

  
  
  I know you said "seems [sic] to" to get yourself out of any accountability in that regard, but in reality there's exactly nothing in the lyrics or demo that would suggest anything about "linguistic minutiae", as you wrote so eloquently, probably because the actual meaning of this - "you can't say anything anymore" - is again a far right fantasy, as is trying to frame the left as authoritarian ("total, unquestioning"). That's the biggest strawman right there. You're literally just dumping a bunch of talking points in here that have nothing to to with the content of the demo whatsoever. And in fact, it even contradicts what you've said earlier - if they're just pushing already established views, how is it possible to become "the sole judges and jurors" of those views?

  I have a hard time accepting how it's framed and, more importantly, what seems to be the suggested solution

  
  
  And I have a hard time believing that what you seem to think is the framing and suggested solution is anything more than projection on your part, but if you're intersted in actually discussing it without resorting to vague generalisms, feel free to elaborate.

• What tempest said about the soundtrack - it's nice composition wise but it just sounds lackluster (not the Finn) IMHO. The effects, especially the bubbles at the end, more than make up for it tho :)

• Nah, we‘re impressed because the 1541 has even less video hardware than a 2600, and it still works :)
  
  Great trick with not doing hsync for a portion of the screen btw, I think you just made the unrecordable(st) demo :)
  
  No, honestly, this is the level of madness I‘d expected from you, squids, and I love it.
  
  (not a selfvote btw, the soundtrack is a cover version, I just consulted a little)

• Fine, I wanted to wait with the next release a bit but this bug warrants one - 0.3.0 released, available at the download URL.
  
  Now with - Oldschool Upscale
  
  Did you want to upload your older low-res stuff or your favourite emu output, but Youtube completely destroyed the video with its low bitrates? Fret no more! Because with Oldschool Upscale (TM) you can convert your precious pixels into perfectly sized little squares until you hit the resolution where even YT can't help itself but give you the good bitrates!

• Much love for the visuals and that raw soundtrack; and as far as the "losing pace" thing is concerned - That was certainly a point when watching it in the compo but actually went away when I rewatched it. There's a certain patience/flow mindset that you need for this kind of production, and if you get into that, it's just paced well.

• wysiwtf: Get the ffmpeg binaries here: https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases - The v4.4-[...]-win64-lgpl-shared-4.4.zip one should work.
  
  I currently don't include them in the zip bc of patent issues, and I'm waaay too lazy for writing an installer, sorry :)
