beeblePete @beeblepete.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Gonna nerd out: the BBC got 18 chip cameras in '87 to modernise OB – those less-sensitive early sensors somehow feel a bit different to outside broadcast video like in 'Robot' – whose tube cameras sent light onto phosphor paste under glass. But chips in cameras – and in the music – were The Future! 040
beeblePete @beeblepete.bsky.social · 03/10/2026me pal Seelo explained that even cave art seemed like magic so art was pretty much born conjoined to The Divine and even secular art is, I think, magic to wield. So of course clerics want their best trick back but some good stuff *was* said about art being necessarily human, which was nice to hear. 000

beeblePete @beeblepete.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's not the revolution that won't be 'televised,' it's the dissolution. They imagine there's a 'side' and they don't want to 'let it down' but it's like a racing driver putting on a blindfold. Wildly hazardous. 010

beeblePete @beeblepete.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This came up because I've settled on 6 sections for my site and two of them are 'Bits' and 'Play'.

beeblePete @beeblepete.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The 'computer gaming' days are over. You no longer have to know or care how a game works, and you can have no interest in modifying it. Any modern game must play for your time with almost no guidance, like conkers or hopscotch. Games you'd tinker with are a cul-de-sac again; the rest are just play. 110
