i have no idea how they do it. do you mean they call external libraries or just that they reuse code between demos?

it's that your 64k demo pulls in 200mb of DirectX dll's

I don't see how that's an issue since it's poo poo every computer has now unless you're running linux on your desktop which is a loving stupid thing to do

it's about the ~scene purists~ saying that using all those libraries is tantamount to cheating because your demo isn't 64k because it uses all this code from the directx libs

my guess is, it depends

windows demos might do but i doubt there are many c64 intros pulling from directx libs. i thought that for some of the older platforms they even included their own hardware drivers to get access to undocumented haxx and exploit display bugs and stuff

most of the older platforms don't really have drivers, and they just talk directly to hardware. this is possible because for these old machines the hardware is all the same.

for pc this is not the case anymore, so i think that it's not realistic to expect a group to code demo's direct to the hardware. directx is the platform now (or opengl or w/e)

dunno, the scene is small, the group of people actually making demo's is tiny

home properties can only rise in value

it's been literally non-double digit amount of years since the housing market collapsed, but no worries, it won't happen again. this time, wall street is buying houses with straight up cash and forcibly moving the cost of housing up in the world's most transparent scheme ever.

tbh i figured it would have happened sooner after QE ending but if AM radio is anything to go by the speculators have picked up the slack

no clue when they'll run out of steam but i wouldn't give it long
