@vwbusguy @ikkeT @timojyrinki @vathpela i remember seeing some demos that take advantage of VIC-20 differences to C64. it is not only the CPU speed but also that CPU is not interrupted by the video chip so you can predict clock cycles used almost exactly. there was a great article about these differences in finnish skrolli magazine 2016.3 :-) that's where i learned these differences (just to denote where credit is due). after that i watched a bunch of vic-20 demos because i had always thought that it is just "worse version of c64".

@vwbusguy @vathpela @timojyrinki @ikkeT yeah and over time people did learn to take advantage of ocs chipset better so that cpu advantage of atari st melted down :-)

@timojyrinki @vathpela @vwbusguy @ikkeT MOS6502 vs Z80 was sort of the first Intel vs Motorola battle. Z80 is Intel 8080 derivative and 6502 is Motorola 6800 derivative :-)

@ikkeT @vathpela @vwbusguy same actually applies to atari st and amiga. ST had a slightly faster clocked CPU and memory access speed. Thus, some 3D games run faster on ST.

@ikkeT @vwbusguy @vathpela vic 20 has a faster cpu than c64 :-) it is clocked 1.10 MHz while c64 cpu is 0.985 MHz

@vwbusguy @vathpela commodore was huge in 80s and early 90s. there is still active community in finland writing old school demos and stuff like that for c64 and amiga 500/1200.

game and graphics industry in finland inherits directly from 90s demoscene. e.g. max payne and alan wake series of games and also RTX technology in nvidia cards derive from that (RTX was engineered in finnish offices of nvidia).

@blainsmith @ljs yea, the problem is not that e.g. goodnotes would have been implemented somehow wrong or anything like that. the problem is that it is an app and not the device...

@ljs @blainsmith Might consider. With iPad I feel that Goodnotes being an app already gets in the way, vs. using a real notebook. So I end up still prefer latter. Taking notes should go sort of in the same phase as your thinking...

John Gartner is a psychologist who, as founder of Duty To Warn, has raised the alarm about Trump's declining mental fitness. This week, we had the honor of interviewing him for a disturbing conversation about why he’s more worried than ever that the media and the public are missing all the blaring red signs that Trump is slipping rapidly into dementia. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/john-gartner-trump-cognitive-decline

Found a solution for General MIDI: I forgot that I had upgrade my KORG Classic Collection and it has VST version of Triton, which has a bank for this. KORG's plugins are overally so much better and more stable than what Roland offers and no cloud crap required. They are actually the best software versions of their gear, which is how it should be. With e.g. TB-303 emulation you are better off with D16's Phoscyon2 or perhaps Arturia's ACID-V (have not tested the latter).
