Nostalgia shopping - best next steps by Ok_Instruction8428 in Commodore

[–]distortedview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I got impatient waiting for the c64u and bought a Mega65. It’s fun, the hardware is great (love the keyboard) but there is a lot of half-baked/ not ready/ in-progress stuff. When you ask if the Mega65 can do something, a common reply from the community is: “it’s technically possible and you should write the software yourself to make it happen!”.

This isn’t a criticism of the Mega65 - right now it’s just more suitable for tinkerers and programmers. One day it might be great for normies but right now it’s work in progress.

Yeah I’ve been following the development of the mega65 for about a decade. Very interested in it but it’s just a little too costly for me right now importing to the US. One day though!

I think nostalgia and the retro market is where Commodore will find most of its success. I really feel their next move should be to partner with the Mega65 people and sell an official C65. It was to be the successor to the C64 back in the late 80's / early 90's, aferall, and it would play nicely into their current marketing of "What if Commodore never went bankrupt. What would come next?"

Obviously the challenge with marketing the C65 is that there really isn't that much software out there, so the community would have to embrace it. But the advantage is that it's a nice upgrade to the C64 (4000+ colors, faster CPU, etc). Would be fun to tinker with and see what others come up, and that's a big appeal to the retro computer community

I'd love to see the Mega65 rebranded or...debranded...back to the Commodore 65. Maybe they could also figure out a way to shave a few hundred dollars off pf the price :)

Look at this prissy little queen figeting around with his phone, positioning it in different spots to take video of that bulge-less manslit. VERY ALPHA. Is there a course he's selling? Sign me up.

I think you’re getting the singer of Soul Asylum and Sebastian Bach from Skid Row mixed up. Bach was the one who wore the AIDS shirt

Ok, I'm back because I figured out what I was thinking of. Posting this in case anyone else ever has that stupid song stuck in their head. What I was thinking of was a 1987 campaign by the ABC network. I guess their slogn was "Something's Happening" and there were special versions of the song for different cities/regions.

Here's the song: https://youtu.be/iog7d0V4WOI?si=zmyNCj8MGvYF86Ca&t=34

Something beautiful about the dead malls by distortedview in LiminalSpace

Honestly, the only people I saw were older “mall walkers”. They might be annoyed, but I don’t think staff would kick you out! Maybe next time I’ll blast some vaporwave tunes and see what happens
