I loved my Amiga 500, I liked the gaming part, but mostly made music on it all day every day.
Fantastic machine that had a 4 channel audio Paula chip and with the right software called OctaMED, turned into an 8 channel music studio. I could sample, mix, hook up external MIDI hardware. It was the heart of my mini home studio back in the day.
May I add an article from 2008.
As might be anticipated, Amen is not a stranger to controversy. In 2005, on Quackwatch.org, a nonprofit that investigates health-related frauds, myths, fads and fallacies, Dr. Harriet Hall, a retired family physician, outlined concerns regarding Amen’s practices. In addition to those I’ve mentioned, Hall was critical of Amen’s unsupported claims that SPECT scanning provides “guidance in the application of specific medications or other treatments such as supplements, neurofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.”

He is known to be a quack for almost two decades. Reminds me of Hulda Clark and the likes.
I have a large collection of unplayed games, and most of them came from Humble Bundle.
That’ll do idiot, that’ll do.
I learned about the killing of Topsy because I am very interested in the life of Tesla and his inventions. I dislike Edison because imo he did Tesla wrong, but I learned quickly that the most dispicable thing attributed to him is very likely not true.
Although I agree with most you say on them being fascist asshats, there is not the slightest evidence Edison had anything to do with the killing of Topsy.
The killing was done by her handlers as they wanted to get rid of her, they could not handle her anymore after an incident with her original handler. The film of the killing was released by Edison films yes, but Topsy was killed a decade after the war of the currents, and Edison wasn’t even in charge anymore of the company after the merger with General Electric.
He wasn’t present during the electrocution of Topsy, did not have any electric business anymore, and again there is no evidence whatsoever that he was involved.
But Yeah, fuck 'm all, except for Topsy, may she rest in peace.
So men have just a single switch or what? Let me guess…women RTX on or off? Fuck this shit brah.
Saturday off to the barbers to get the beard and hair cut. Going to surprise them tomorrow, they are good guys and talk about food a lot.
I’ll bring red roasted chicken with Sranang bami and asparagus beans. Chicken is already marinating…
Have a good weekend fine people.

First of all I am a big fan of everything Clinton does, but also Weather Report, Wayne Shorter (RIP), Kamasi being certainly doing a worthy iteration. i am excited. Thanks for the enlightenment zecg.
Herald for a fascist theocracy.
Yeah, that is certainly why the DLC was positioned at 7 and not 5 euro.
I also think needing to pay for the second half of a mission is like the businessmodel of a drugsdealer giving you your first shot for free. If Bethesda really had any good intentions introducing the creation club for the modders and gamers, they would have given those missions for free.
Craftyindividual, pugjesus, adjjj, nanoUFO, all the frequent content posters in the magazines I am interested in. Sometimes I recognize people by name who post less frequently or just by avatar in the sidebar when logging in.
kbin.earth is where I hang out lately, I like it here. I hope kbin.social comes back to it’s former self though.
And one stll has to spend 10 euro’s on the creation credits to get a 7 euro dlc. But at least when you buy 2 times 500 credits you have paid 1 eurocent less then the 1000 credits pack. Yeah…
Nice pictures. These birds are getting rare in the Netherlands.
Oh, thanks for reminding me there is a second game out. I enjoyed the first one as well.
Word!
I had the Techno Sound Turbo.
Friend said his IBM pc could do music…bleep bleep from the motherboard speakers, lmao. Everything changed with the 16bit Soundblasters though. My first was an AWE32, it was like a betrayal to Paula.
It was Atari ST or Amiga for music back then. The Atari didn’t have the sampling capabilities of the A500 until the Atari Falcon, but Atari had Cubase, and if you had a shitload of money for outboard gear, Atari was the way to go because it was compatible with most studio’s at the time just as Protools today.
Before I had an Amiga 500 my fosterdad had a C64 with Steinberg Pro 16 and a MIDEX interface, a Fostex 8-track tape machine and outboard gear back in the 80s where I learned how to produce music. He had a DX-7, drumtraks and six-trak from sequential along effect pedals and what not.
Still making music on the Amiga seemed less complicated, more spontanious, my own thing so to say and a fraction of the money.
I wish I have the energy and enthusiasm for equipment and music I had back then…I have the Akai S-1100 samplers I could not afford and stuff now, they are all in storage, minimal setup now.
Yeah I am rambling on, please forgive me.
