I believe the Amiga was fine for more than just games and word processing. It was also used in movie and tv show productions [1]

When I want to show people what an intro is and tell them a bit about the demoscene, I usually show them the intro Elevated, which won the PC 4k compo at Breakpoint 2009. For me it really shows the talent of Iq and the other people who created it. It’s truly amazing what can be done in just 4 kilobyte!

Elevated by Rgba & TBC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB0vBmiTr6o

Re:The demoscene as a UNESCO heritage in Sweden on Monday March 31, 2025 @03:08PM (#43538577)
Not sure if we are following the same demoparties but I still see plenty of great demos, intros, music, etc. being released. I do see new compos being add liked Modern GFX, Animations, Photo, and Videos but I dont feel that deminish the creativity of the Demoscene.

On a side note, I am looking forward to this year Revision demoparty.

I remember playing this one on the amiga 500 when it was maybe just 1 disk? Still the best version I have played. Fantastic game.

Ask HN: Best Approach for Operationalize ICPs?

Posted by onename on Friday August 23, 2024 @11:16AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hey there HN!It seems that Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) is somewhat important if you want to succeed in selling your product (even though some do quite well without it). Having read quite a few articles on the topic, I am left wondering how to actually operationalize your ICPs. It seems no one is discussing that part. I am therefore wondering if anyone on HN has any sort of experience in that...
