I'm sure some of you remember Johannes Bjerregaard's amazing SID music form the C64.

I'm sure some of you remember Johannes Bjerregaard's amazing SID music form the C64. I still have a bunch on my pc that I pull out occasionally.

I don't normally do gofundme's, but I donated to his cancer fight appeal.

These are my favourite tunes off YouTube. You might notice a pattern...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PalkTB1BAM - Black Celebration

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POzb4jGKOA4 - Flexible
This one totally blows my mind. He captures the essence of the song so PERFECTLY. The fact that its a lesser known tune makes me love it more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POzb4jGKOA4 - Get the Balance Right

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIER1giCbCs - Any second now

All of them are faithful reproductions and excellent. If you consider that all tunes are shipped in a package of probably about 5kb for playback on a sidplayer, I'd have to nominate it for the most awesome in a small package.

The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t...

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...
