Obligitory shoutout to ProjectM!

And butterchurn! Web-based.

MilkDrop 3 got released not that long ago and works on any audiosource. V2 was basically our digital fireplace in the 90s.

Thanks, appreciate it! I probably would've missed it. I still use Winamp and Milkdrop2 today and still have like hundreds of my own presets. Super excited to get into Milkdrop3 now, especially with multiple audio sources and this new "double preset" feature.

"MilkDrop 3.0 is a portable program that supports any audio source"

Unfortunately what they mean by "portable" is in the context of Windows only. :(

Is it compatible with WINE?

Me too, but I'm old enough to remember TV interstitials looking like that.

Here is an example of what they looked like.

True that! Though with Pentium MMX turning on those WinAmp visualizations led to significant drop in system responsiveness that I don't do anything other than watch those visualisations when I turn them on. Simpler, fun times though.

Aaahh, AVS Society FTW! :)

Holy heck what I'd do to bring AVS back. The possibilities were endless... HOWEVER, I was with the Geiss/Milkdrop party XD

so Geiss vs AVS; much like the editor wars, but with visualisers. So cool back then.

i was thinking the same. cthugha where are you know?

we had a big glass lens we'd place on the monitor to project it onto a ceiling.

i picked the wrong decade to stop smoking dope

Those of us "of a certain age," may remember Todd Runtgren's Utopia Softworks Flowfazer screensaver.

He was an Apple Registered developer, and we'd see him walking around the WWDC, in the '90s.

Exactly what I thought!!
