As an old scener myself I both love and hate it. The scene is about breaking rules, even it's own, and in that spirit it's hella cool.

On the other hand, at least for me, the scene was craft for crafts sake. Nobody would pay for somebody to optimize assembly code by the byte just to make art!

Spacepigs rule!

Prompted Claude Code to flex its abilities by creating a "demoscene" style intro and to make sure it was braggy in fitting with the culture of the scene.
