In 2018 we went to Japan. Eve-Marie, the kids and I. It's one of our most memorable family vacations. It was filled with adventure, discovery, drama... love. 🧵

The Demo Scene. I've never been a part of it but, growing up, I got all the Atari ST demos and was dreaming of that world of creative nerds. These two images won the recent Fjälldata C64 demo party... #nostalgia
