Wow I’m surprised this isn’t more common knowledge. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

But seriously, very impressive to see the creativity in this. I thought the first animated film would be more crude.

First thing I did was try to turn up the volume on my phone. Then I realized it was pre audio. Then I started to rewatch it and caught myself thinking “why am I watching this dank-meme video without audio?”. That this is nearly as trippy, maybe more trippy, than some of the dank videos I’ve seen on the Internet these days, it’s amazing how far we haven’t come, or how perverse we’ve always been.

Then I realized it was pre audio

Probably it was screened with largely improvised live music (piano), so this isn’t quite the original experience. There’s a version with some music on archive.org linked in this thread. Watching the silents without any audio feels weird, “empty”, and the original audiences must’ve felt the same.

And yeah, early films were a bit similar to circus attractions, so the comparison is pretty good. They wanted to show something visually striking, so e.g. they filmed many variants of “serpentine dances”, or fights between a chimney sweeper covered in coal and miller covered in flour.

Hank ,

That fight film has such an early internet vibe. Just some dudes filming bullshit they think is entertaining.

Someone commented on archive that the music was a bit out of its era so I’m curious what contemporary accompaniment would have been like.

antonim OP ,

Here’s one example of an original musician from the silents’ era, playing some fragments: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lwsA0n8OBY

The overall sound was like that, but of course different pianists had different styles and repertoires of typical melodies that they’d improvise with.

Some more ambitious feature length films would employ ensembles or an entire orchestra, which is what Griffith did first for the Birth of a Nation. Of course in that case the music had to be written in advance, though I’m not sure how much of it has been preserved over the decades.

VERY well-made, for the first animated film!

oehm , to vexillology in Today, August 1, it is 147 years ago since Colorado gained statehood (1876). Here's the state flag, featuring the possibly best usage of a letter in any flag.

What other flags make use of just a single letter?

They should have lined up the ends of the C with the stripes:

neosloth , to technology in Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

Been using it with a SP9. Overall it’s been a great experience, but not perfect. Cameras don’t work, shutdown doesn’t work properly when connected to power and the rotation is funky. I knew what I signed up for though as it is a very new device.

Still much better than using windows

DecentFarts , to technology in Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

Neat! I just started using my surface pro 6 because my framework laptop is waiting on RMA parts. Truthfully, I’m surprised at how well surface pro 6 performs. Having a machine from the OS OEM makes a big difference.

Scrath , to technology in Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

Hasn’t that project been around for quite a while already?

FarLine99 OP ,

yup :)

Nuuskis9 , to technology in Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

Is Surface arm or x86?

Just asking for my personal curiosity, that why you don’t use immutable version of Fedora?

FarLine99 OP , (edited )

X86. Because I like tinkering with my system and kinda see no purpose in Immutability for me.

There was even some tanks/aircraft mini game, like Worms Armageddon? I think you had to unlock it, possibly with cheat codes.

at the title screen, type in “DESTRUCT”

tyrian.fandom.com/wiki/Cheats#Secret_Gameplay_Mod…

I had so much fun with that mini game I can’t even believe they just had it hidden in there. It honestly could’ve been sold as its own game

axby OP ,

Ahhh… memories are flooding back now. I remember the screen would get distorted and change into the mini game. Agreed, it was amazing and I also can’t believe it was hidden. I miss little gems like that in older video games.

avyrla , to retrogaming in Anyone else remember Tyrian? Any other recommendations for classic games with a decent mobile port?

Oh wow you unlocked a memory I didn’t know I had.

bop , to retrogaming in Anyone else remember Tyrian? Any other recommendations for classic games with a decent mobile port?

Dodonpachi my man! Blissful Death is on the App Store.

TwistedPear , (edited ) to retrogaming in Anyone else remember Tyrian? Any other recommendations for classic games with a decent mobile port?

While not a straight ready-to-go port…exactly, I was really impressed by DeltaTouch and QuadTouch. It ports over a bunch of id software sourceports to Android making it possible to play not only Doom, Heretic, and Strife, but Quake and Hexen II - most with mod and controller support.
