@Gatabud I thought this video was parody.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@oldyzach Looks a lot like Winamp

[John Romero 🤘🏽 @romero]

Everyone at Romero Games is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bobby Prince. He left an incredible mark on games and on my life.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@SwellAlexander It was good. I did wonder how many people were first introduced with that show, liked it, and went to see the new movie.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@NES_Professor Yes. I completed it back in the day. A great game if you like Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@jbzfn I have an ISA Hercules card. But it doesn't look like this. I should check it out.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

I fixed the Commodore Callback. Now we're willing to spend $500 for 25-50 year old technology. Show us all the ways it integrates with the C64U.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@spencerg83 @stichstichtom08 Brian May on guitar so good.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@kinsie The C64U wasn't a mainstream product. I have a spot in my heart for Commodore. But I don't use my Commodore to browse the web, send emails, watch movies or listen to music.

Where would Commodore have gotten the idea that people would pay upwards of $500 on outdated tech!?

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@KabiPlays @BluntzyD I am unaware of Leto's baggage. I'll have to look into it.

But given the level of computer effects and prosthetics, I'm sure there were local community theater actors that could have performed just as well for a whole lot smaller of a budgetary footprint.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@realaaron @CptSparky360 There is no market research that people use or need phones, especially ones that look like they are from 25 years ago. But devices that look like they are 50 years old are hot!

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@tandemar Hash tag Christian Simpson? 😭

I'll likely never buy a smart watch but should Apple burn in hell because they decided to make it?

Why the hell is Apple making an MP3 player all of a sudden!? Stay in your lane, Apple, and give us an Apple II Mini like we've all been waiting for.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@MuseumCommodore The Ultimate II+ has an FTP and a Telnet server I used to deploy and launch development builds with scripts remotely. I'm guessing the C64U is even smarter in this regard.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@MuseumCommodore Nice overview. Many details I think a supplement video or website needed for the reveal to quell some of the confusion / concerns.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@CptSparky360 @MuseumCommodore $500 does generally price out Gen Z I suspect. Whoever is moderating the Retro Recipes YouTube channel told me the phone costs more than $250 to make. I'd venture a guess these $50 phones are ones that are sold at a loss specifically to recoup with service fees.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@ModernVintageG Plenty of products some companies make that I have no desire to buy. And these are very successful companies, with or without my purchases.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@mindinpanic @verge For a company already selling ways to run 40+ year old video games, it's the actual definition of retro and is on brand.

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@commodoreofcl Clearly this is a wellness device Perifractic feels strongly about and has used personally. Companies sell products not everyone buys and that's (inhale)... okay (exhale).

[Andrew Dieffenbach @puzzud]

@norbertruecker @commodoreofcl I don't think we'll see a 128 as anything but a core.
