Death Is Not The End

You heard this before, you will hear it many times more before you kick the bucket. The ultimate reassurance. Death does not mean end of content. You will create footage, just of anorher kind. Your camera will be still rolling. Isn't that a relief?

Well, NO.

It isn't.

Continuity can include being humiliated, fooled, ignored, talked down, all those goodie things that really spiced up my life. And it never really stopped because I didn't punch anyone in the face to make it happen.

We must have that dramatic transition... Otherwise we do what we were programmed for. Stir up shit for no good reason and call people names to feel better.

'Death is not the end' is not a promise of radical shift for the better. They may treat you just as badly or even worse on the other side.

Sound more like being conditioned early on for another disposable avatar in the matrix.

Weird Colors / Not Booting

Hi,

I have a major issue with my A500. It started with weird colors as I was playing Creatures. Colors were all of a sudden mostly yellow, blue and green. Picture also started waving a bit, like a flag or something.

I turned off for few minutes.

Then It booted but didn't load the game, instead I got Guru Meditation Software Failure message.

I turned off again, after this I get nothing. Power led works. Floppy led does not respond, no clicking sound either. As if I have no drive. Caps Lock key does respond so at least I know my keyboard is still okay.

I have Amiga 500 rev6 with standard memory expansion of 512kb.

I'm not familiar with electronics, so any suggestions what should I check would be greatly appreciated!

Gotek Sound Issues

Hi everyone,

I have some odd issues with my Gotek (Artery AT32F415). I have A500 rev6. It loads into game intro but has no sound at all. I'm not talking about buzzer sound, but the sound adf file should produce. This does not happen with games loaded from 3.5" floppies. No issues at all. They work fine.

Also, my joystick (in port 2) is iddle when using Gotek. So I can't even stop the intro. I have no mouse at the moment. I tried 4 games so far:

-Cabal

-Pang

-RodLand

-Wonderboy In Monster Land

Same thing, with every game.

I am releaved though it loads adf files, flashing was anything but easy for me.

Should I try using another Pendrive with same adf files? Any tips would be great.
