       | incredible, a true piece of art. This is great!

           | Quality is terrific. Probably because the lo-fi frames
           | compress nicely! Underscores the need for a dedicated video
           | service for live coders, algo ravers, demosceners, etc. Mux
           | would be an interesting sponsor here ;)

       | If you didn't know they were entirely rendered in realtime by
       | just 4K of code, you might think you were just watching a series
       | of beautiful, well-produced music videos.

       | (A few of the 256-byte ones afterwards get pretty hair-raising
       | too.)

       | I might ask here; RTX has been out for 2.5 years, has there been
       | any cool demos (in the demoscene sense) that use RTX in an
       | interesting way? Because I can't recollect any, but then I have
       | been following the scene pretty loosely lately.. I would have
       | imagined its a tech that some coders would be very interested in.

         | On one hand, I'm shocked that this actually happened, but OTOH,
         | I can't say I'm surprised by this. Companies like twitch have
         | no respect for art and creative expression. Their very purpose
         | makes them incapable of truly caring. They'll impose whatever
         | policies make their business more convenient to run, no matter
         | the collateral damage.

       | Not enough titty streamers in hot tubs. Twitch is now (since
       | ~2017) Chaturbate-lite, they don't care about content like this
       | because doesn't bring enough thirsty viewers who will sub and
       | donate.
