It's time for an MCH photo/video thread! Like I did with EMF camp last month, all photos and videos will be tagged with #mch2022 so please mute that tag if you do not want to see them! Hopefully it won't break this time.
Day 0! Arriving at Gatwick airport and taking flight from the UK to Amsterdam #mch2022
Landing in Amsterdam and taking the train to my hotel where I stayed the night before travelling to the camp site. This was my first experience travelling on a double decker train! #mch2022
Travelling to the hotel, catching a tram! I stayed in an ibis budget for the night. #mch2022
Day 1! Travelling to Nijkerk to catch a shuttle to the camp site. I do like the trains here. #mch2022
Collected my badge from the angel tent, I did some volunteer work! There was a sauna on-site and a WHOLE SUPERMARKET the size of a co-op in a tent. I was very impressed. #mch2022
Japanese arcade games, the outside of the tent I was sleeping in and an evening view of the "ChaosFurs" village. #mch2022
A lone project diva cabinet, a shrugging ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sign lit up at night, a dataklo with pretty lights and some very pretty crystals. #mch2022
A quick peek of the music stage, my bed where I slept in the tent and checking out the badge for the first time! #mch2022
Day 2. World of Techno returns! I hung up my trans flag on the back of the tent and donated some stickers to the ChaosFurs sticker box. #mch2022
A fire breathing dragon with glowing eyes, a psychedelic display of OS/2 Warp, the presence of Italy (not serving pasta yet!) and the geraffel rave tent. #mch2022
The sound of the next few days that could be heard across part of the camp site. I wonder where the DJ was? #mch2022
The fluroclock that was at EMF Camp returns! A lucky cat you could control via an app on the badge, Miku the raccoon chilling out at the arcade tent and a view of CCC dome all smoked up, reminiscent of when null sector went overboard with the smoke machines. #mch2022
Yes, I stayed up in the arcade tent until 5 in the morning. You can't stop me! (I was kicked out). #mch2022
Wrapping up day 2. I now have pretty fairy lights hung up on the tent I was sleeping in. A nice peaceful walk back from the arcade and settling down for the night. #mch2022
Today was beautiful! The sun was out so it was time to go for a bit of an explore. #mch2022
A pleasant walk around the more silent areas of the camp. There were sheep! 🐑 #mch2022
Polybius biotech returns! A visit to the polycoin tent, there was a talkie toaster from red dwarf responding to quotes from the show. #mch2022
Lunch time, I had some wok. After lunch I did my first angel (volunteer) shift at the arcade bar. I've never worked at a bar before so this was a new and fun experience for me. The world of Techno bot passed by so I added some more stickers to it. #mch2022
The dragon, lit up at night. A pizza oven that does not contain pizza and Miku showing you their lua ruler. They want you to know that the lua ruler starts at 1. #mch2022
Byte Battle time! A spectacular showcase of livecoding on the TIC-80. #mch2022
Some video footage of the byte battle stage. The sound is being broadcasted through headphones that are worn by the audience as a measure to get around the noise cull. Really clever setup! #mch2022
Heading out for another late night stroll after the byte battle. Blahaj is now swimming in the air at the ChaosFurs tent and the EMF logo is lit up high in the sky #mch2022
It's MCH 2022! I loved the LED lights on the logo sign, so pretty! #mch2022
Continued.. was quite amused to see the representation of a LAN party with Windows XP machines. #mch2022
Emulation boxes to represent old machines that the public can have a play on without damaging the original hardware. Yes, there was a lot of small children on-site that could damage things, so this is quite considerate. I also doodled a raccoon on the Amiga #mch2022
Chilling out at the ChaosFurs tent, another blahaj has been added, and a classic IKEA shark too! (I forgot the name. #mch2022
A makeshift SDR setup, lots of string resembling lasers, pretty lights in the milliways tent and many meows. #mch2022
Offline Trello, Pizza delivery over TCP and a very dead hacker that can never die. #mch2022
A very upset polycoin point that was thrown out behind the bar at the music stage #mch2022
More shots of the camp at night. I added one of my raccoons to the map by the docks. The polycoin map was still showing the EMF camp map which I found very amusing. #mch2022
More night shots, these were all taken around the docks. ＼( ^v^ )／ #mch2022
A mini waffle kiosk was being pulled around the camp site, serving waffles with what looked like a bubble waffle maker. A tent that held the only love live cabinet in Europe, and TASBot (who would be live on stage the next day) #mch2022
Showing off my Taiko skills at the arcade tent, one of my favourite songs in the game to play, referred to in the English version as "SAITAMA 2000". #mch2022
Day 5! I printed off another sticker to stick on top of the sticker I printed for the world of Techno bot. Delicious crêpes were being served for breakfast in the MCF cluster and the local swans came out to say hello. #mch2022
Claiming my second button mashing prize at the http://team.blue tent since they couldn't find it the day before. Dumping some of my stickers onto the sticker pile at the infodesk and writing some positive post at the chaospost desk. #mch2022
A "car tent"
Yes this was completely normal.
For those out of the loop, if you couldn't bring a tent you could hire a tent called a "kartent", which was a cardboard tent shaped like a little house. Someone took one of the kartents and turned it into a vehicle. #mch2022
It's everybody's favourite song, being played through the mindstorm bot! #mch2022
TASBot takes the stage to demonstrate what it can do with Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64. #mch2022
A video demonstration of what TASBot is capable of, this was shown previously at a GDQ event but it was also fun to be able to see it shown live on-stage too. #mch2022
Someone hijacked the world of techno bot to play Mario music!!!! #mch2022
A friend attempted to send me some braille art of a raccoon through the chaos post system, it, uh, yeah. Random IP addresses were stuck on things around the campsite, bitcoin stickers were stuck on the bins and cats started appearing on the beam slides. #mch2022
@Violet KORALL HAJ!
@Violet blåhaj
I like the Wireshark visual pun
@tinyfluffs @Violet I simply started hanging the sharks up as decoration, and then we immediately realized the pun after they were up there!
@Violet TASbot is so shape
@Violet that is not the song I expected.
I expected either Unsatisfactory Pippin, the bleh version of Unsatisfactory Pippin, or Kokio & Finsprit.
@Truck I don't think the people of the hacker camp have been fully exposed to such joys of the demoscene yet.
@Violet I think some got unsatisfactory pippin during Gasman's set? Maybe? (:
I won a shirt for being "button masher of the day" at the http://team.blue tent! Someone stuck the world of Techno bot in a toilet cubicle and tweeted it, so I printed that tweet and stuck it on the bot. Also, cheese tasting at the food hacking base! Delicious! #mch2022
