I understand there's a revival of bringing the Commodore back. I guess if I were a hardcore fan, I'd probably still be waiting for my gold plated commodore.

When the question comes down to "Don't you want to relive your moments with the Commodore 64 all over again?" no.. No i do not.

PICO-8 is doing things I wanted the Commodore to do. Without the need to learn assembly.

Nostalgia only works if the person is willing to accept the pain of history.
@S-Config oh i'm putting an eye on the c64 next time I want to learn assembly
