Love it! Although more problems with with this kind of article e.g. β€œThat’s not my problem.” (Translation: β€œI don’t care.”)

OR...

That's not my problem (not because I don't care, but because it's actually got bugger all to do with me and so truly isn't my problem)

I’m now intrigued about β€˜religious version’ of games! Not that I’m religious in any way.

I’m sure this could form an interesting exercise to reimagine many classic (and modern) games… Smite of the Heretic Camels?πŸͺ

Total classic sounds of my childhood ✊

Thanks for the commitment and effort! Installed the other day on my Pi 4 and just figuring everything out but very impressed so far ✊

These are the people that make me ashamed to be a human and reinforces how social media drives poor behaviours where an extinction level event is looking more attractive everyday to give some other species a chance.

Alternatively, they need to wind their necks in and stop being dicks.

Thanks @commodoreofficial.bsky.social! Received my gold (plated) C64U 'dog tag' necklace today from my Commodore Coins, whilst awaiting my Starlight.

Can't wait to hang this round my neck and get on the dancefloor with an open necked shirt and splash of Old Spice!

Soft all the way for me for that 80’s retro goodness.

Although with my ageing eyeballs in their 50’s now, I can probably just take my glasses off to achieve the same effect! πŸ€“

This image will, I have no doubt, become the most popular meme imagine in history.

I’d bet some confidential information on it!

Maybe they think they might catch a virus based on your lurgy post? 🀭

A fellow Manic Miner (C64) & Lemmings finisher myself ✊ Eugene’s Lair was my most hated level.

Wonderful! Totally my thing for those early games before the β€˜mainstream’. Can’t beat a bit of Radar Rat Race, Sea Wolf or Heroes of Karn.

A genius and legend.

He was perfect and amazing on Man Down with Greg Davies.

One of the only reasons I use social media for the retro gaming pr0n.

One of my older treasures…

We need more of this!

Might add a C64 to the Technology Roadmap I’m doing at the moment. Might look a little odd next to Azure Cloud and iPaaS, but hey!

See! This version is pretty cute vs the original horror from the depths of hell

Wonder if the WachowSKIS, during their childhood, were fans of Hungry Horace... 😢

One things that’s baffled me (as well him creeping me out in general since I was a child) is how/why is he Hungry?

Because he has no mouth and can’t eat or he doesn’t need to eat because he has no mouth?

It was the article I saw about US plugging Grok into Pentagon networks (Google AI is already in there).

Have they not read the script of Terminator and other sci-fi stories. This is the ONE fictional milestone that leads to this πŸ€–

Great article and loved the fright factor described.

I recall the apprehension of hearing the monster footsteps before seeing them and that building fear. 😱

Was my favourite Amiga game and help define my love for RPGs that started with C64 Bards Tale followed by Eye of the Beholder etc.

If anyone has seen the film #Valkyrie, I wonder if similar is happening in the US at the moment…

Unsure of the context here but an example of where this isn’t the case? seems the be the C64U Starlight keyboard thing. Or is this what you’re referring to?

I recall seeing a video late last year, before shipments started, showing a level of flex. Always can improve comms though.

Thanks for the update and confirmation on the production tweaks to address this.

Given the nature of innovation, a 1% issue rate overall isn’t bad. I hope there’s no table flipping with customer service looking to resolve for those impacted.

Can’t wait for mine in a month or two’ish.

Absolutely! Before Amiga and X-Copy came the double cassette radio ✊

It’s amazing the level of venom people experience through internet platforms. Giving people with poor values the opportunity to multiply their inappropriate behaviour and push it to others without consequence.

Live life by one simple rule and the world would be better… Don’t be a dick.
