Critical reception
Wayne Stronell of Cyclic Defrost said, "Ctrl Alt Delete is a blistering record of intense synthesizer wizardry, but along the way it has absorbed so much more than just another electronic album, the influences are varied, and the result would please many a fan in varying genres, from dubstep, grime, hip hop and wonky abstract beat science."[1]
Ctrl Alt Delete was listed by Chris Ziegler of OC Weekly as "One of the Strongest Local Releases of the Year".[7]

gollark: I could probably have it share code with a disassembler, too, although even the ISA-as-currently-implemented allows a bunch of obfuscatory tricks.
gollark: I'm considering implementing the assembler in JS or Python or Rust or something, but it *would* be nice to have this available from within potatOS.
gollark: Honestly that's entirely unnecessary and I would probably only need simple splitting into lines and label handling, but you know.
gollark: That's how you would do it in my thing, using a somewhat insane S-expression assembly-ish language.
gollark: Using hypothetical assembly syntax I haven't actually implemented:```# start of memory to add kittens to(add r1 r0 0x1000) # maybe there would be nice dedicated syntax for "set register" actually# end of kittenized region(add r2 r0 0x1600)(label loop (add r3 r0 40) (poke r3 r1 0) (add r3 r0 94) (poke r3 r1 1) # and so on (add r1 r1 8) (jlt r1 r2 loop))```
