Fractic’s tone, the repetitiveness, and gimmickery.

He’s pretty much like that in most of his videos.

Just because someone did amazing stuff in the past doesn’t mean they’ll have the ability or the desire to do it in the future—the relative incentives, market conditions, technological constraints, and just plain interests are completely different than before. It’s fun to think one is changing the world and potentially getting rich by pushing the state of the art further than anyone thinks is possible. That’s not where these folks are now.

This I completely agree with. From what I can tell he’s established relationships with these folk over the years during his coverage of C64 content, and likely felt having them be a part of this would legitimize it and make it feel like the ‘real’ commodore, but time and time again, when I’ve seen old legends try their hands at recapturing the magic of their past, it rarely seems to work out (a good example would be every ex-Sierra employee trying to make a new game with a kickstarter, all of which resulted in pretty sub-par stuff).

But I’d have a really hard time forking over any scratch to this guy, and will be astounded if this actually produces more than a curiosity.

I’m of the same mind.

I don’t think Frantic has any sort of bad intentions or scheme planned (he’s been steadily making classic computer content for over 7 years now), but I do think he’s completely blinded by nostalgia, which is an ever pervasive theme in his videos, and is ultimately wildly overestimating the commercial viability of the goals he has in mind.

If he really did refinance his house to help fund all this, I don’t foresee things going too well for him, as I can’t really imagine them being able to put to market something that will be affordable enough and with some killer feature to truly capture a wide enough market. I also would love to be proven wrong here, but based on how the Commander X16 went, I suspect whatever they produce will be far too overpriced for what it actually is, and will end up only appealing to a small subset of similarly nostalgic Gen-x’ers who have the disposable income to get into it, similar to the Spectrum NEXT.

While I can assume the OP wrote that with a male perspective in mind, at least in DnD, Wizard is a gender neutral class. Personally I read it as an ultra-prudish character reacting, but perhaps I’m being too charitable in my interpretation.

Thankfully Fedora retracted the 32 bit proposal.

I think you’re right, and they may be exaggerating a bit. From what I can tell, this would be almost act like a 4th setting between power-save and on-demand mode, so you still get most of the benefits of power-save mode, but without the need to switch back to on-demand when you do something intense.

It gathered 160k signatutes in 3 days thanks to all the new press, hopefully we can keep up the momentum.

I suspect a VM would introduce latency (big no no for music production), and I can’t imagine getting ASIO working would be easy (though I’ve never tried it).

According to WineHQ, Ableton’s compatibility with wine isn’t stellar. FL Studio works quite well in it, but switching DAWs can be a pretty major undertaking.

For Linux native DAWs, Reaper and Bitwig are the two best options. Reaper is the most affordable at 60 bucks, with an infinite free trial.

Pretty sure it’s just EU citizens. If you can’t vote in elections there, you probably can’t sign this.

Welcome back, and no prob! ^^

Yes! They’ll also be plugging it on their main channel soon.

Helping spread the word is still an option, and would be greatly appreciated! :D

None that I’m aware of :D

Also just want to mention you can export your subscriptions, blocks, and saved posts/comments as a JSON file from your account settings page, and then import that file at your new instance in the same spot!

I don’t know. Fascism hates art

Speaking of which…

Sorry to hear that they were so nasty. :(

Sopuli.xyz might be a good option.

They are a medium sized general purpose instance based in Finland with good admins, a consistently updated Lemmy, and fast speeds.

Also @shadowplayer2@lemmy.world and @HalifaxJones@lemmy.world

I think it’s been very hard for us to spread awareness into countries where a majority don’t also speak English, as the organizer and much of the coverage is only in English.

If you know of any big Italian gaming YouTubers or streamers that might be receptive to helping or talking about the campaign, could you reach out to them about it with a comment?

Thank you for your help! :D

Thank you for contributing!! :D

No worries, I’ll edit it to try to make it more clear.

Just to clarify, this isn’t a normal toothless petition, this is an official EU mechanism that allows citizens to bring problems to the attention of the European Commission, and force them to pass judgement on it legally. You can read more about it here.

It’s good to be skeptical of anything asking for that personal info, but I’d suggest researching into it to confirm that it is indeed legit.

Thank you for signing the UK one :)
