Manifesto Jam is a game jam where participants don't make games but manifestos about games.

Oh so this is where MEATPUNK came from. Nifty.

All manifestos not predicated around SETTING FIRE TO THINGS and CRUSHING THEM are inferior to the purity of infernos and crushing that is the INFERNOKRUSHER manifesto. I denounce them as FALSE-INFERNOKRUSHER and reject them.

I just wrote a cocktail manifesto, apparently.

By putting them on display, the jam makes them manifest manifestos.

I can do this. I was born to do this...

ALL GAMES WILL USE CUSTOM TTL CPU WITH 4-BIT ALU

VECTORS WILL BE DRAWIN AT 100% INTENSITY

BASIC INTRPRETER USING FLOATING POINT AND HGR GRAPHICS

SOUND GENERATOR ALWAYS THRU CASETTE OUTPUT

Making the manifest of manifest manifestos manifest, as it were.

Also I feel like this is not where MEATPUNK comes from, if it pre-dates February 8th, but maybe the manifesto is an attempt to express what MEATPUNK is.

Inspired by the jam, I have finished my Vow of Bogosity.
