DiHalt - reviews
Lilka
Many events are held throughout Russia every year
a lot of festivals, most of them are quite
are not common, while some are impressive─
stand out for their originality.
DiHalt is exactly unusual and cannot
fit into the framework of any hundred─
standards. And its winter version DiHalt Lite -
very fun and positive time─
a place where friends gathered together can
fool around, fight in virtual battles,
give free rein to your imagination and, of course, indulge
nostalgia.
But if you remember how it began
the entire IT industry and who was at its origins?
Of course, many of us! Now, modern─
The new generation does not understand at all how
what and why it works, because you don’t need anything
soldering or writing, there is not even a question “why-
but it doesn’t compile?”! But then we could─
whether to sit nights and days writing but─
some effect or toy or something else
just as terribly interesting. We have grown up and become
adult aunts and uncles, met their
halves, raising children, going to prestigious
work and little by little we begin to forget it
a feeling of completeness and integrity,
the importance of what is happening.
A festival, even for a very young one─
whoever the circle of people, allows you to breathe precisely
that forgotten air. When conducting
always fun and always a lot of energy, perfect─
but it’s not clear where they come from. Of course
organization, whatever it is, is businesssur─
quick and time-consuming, but everything is always re─
covered by the people who come, bringing
many wonderful moments. I don't think so yet
the walking house will soon be forgotten by the shaking
Keeper's snoring. Or a red cauldron like crayfish─
people splashing into the snow screaming and screaming
after a hot bath. But the most sacrament about─
issued during the display of submitted works,
when you realize that not everything is gone yet, that
there are still people who inspire, who
I want to imitate.
Inspired by events and positivity,
I really don’t want to say goodbye and leave.
Always ends with a slight bitterness
DiHalt,you always want to extend the weekend,
well, or at least pause time...

I was on DiHalt for the first time in the summer of 2012
year. It took place on the outskirts of Nizhny Novgorod
city, outdoors. Guests and participation─
nicknames came in cars, brought with them─
fight food, tents and good mood. On
that moment was the second time in my life─
nor when I was traveling somewhere with an overnight stay near─
in a different way. I liked that it was nearby
the venue was a river, where they could
everyone who wants to swim.
There was a partytwo-day. The first day is
preparation of organizers for the show itself
works and voting (at night). The second one -
summing up and awarding diplomas
to the winners. Even if you don't get a prize─
places, you can still test well─
Take some time and chat with demosceners. So
called lovers of old computers, on
which you can code demos, compose and write─
create 8-bit music. It can be called
a party that unites the destinies of people,
seeking to support the demoscene on you─
saute.
At first I didn’t understand the demoscene and
was just a bystander, but
submitted an animated film to the competition
Wild. Even took second place (in this but─
there were six works).
I am a fan of the groupOtto Dix and
I was glad to see one of hers on DiHalt
participants - Slipa. I talked and took the car─
count and took a photo with him.
In 2013, I was unable to go for years─
niy DiHalt, but in January 2014
shaft on DiHalt Lite. Since in winter there are two days
be in nature and sleep in tents
It’s cold, the party took place in one of the cottages─
zhey on the outskirts of Nizhny Novgorod. Organi─
congestion in advance the day before arrival negotiate─
talked with the owners about what they want to arrange
here is a demo party with a lot of on─
sort of. Unfortunately, on winter DiHaltit happens
not as many people as we would like, but ─
there was someone to talk to!
On the ground floor there was an entrance hall,
the hall where the party was held, as well as the kitchen, where
the girls cooked food for everyone. In 2014
I was one of them. We spent about half a day─
tili to cook food for everyone. Worth it
give us credit, because we tried
good thing DiHalt Lite :) It turned out even too good─
com a lot. However, they were still received
positive emotions, despite the fact that
I liked the summer party more - na
nature and over a fairly large area.
In the summer of 2014 I visited the summer
DiHalt as a spectator. It was despicable there─
There was a competition called Your Game 5, and it was held
championship in the game Edge Grinder, where they could
those who wish to participate. Demosceners reception─
Hali with their children about ten years old, these re─
the boys took part in a competition
game. Some played better, some worse.
It was clear who was an avid gamer, by─
because he plays deftly and much faster,
than the rest. Even I was interested
take part.
The latest DiHalt to date,
which I visited was winter DiHalt Lite
in 2015. It was held in the same place
the same cottage as in 2014. There I even
(for the first time) took part in the creation of a demo.
Come to DiHalt and see everything for yourself─
those! :)
