@wyatt i only consider the fairchild channel F retro, everything is too new /j
Show threadwyattMar 11
@mjdxp yeah i only hoard modern computers like the VIC-20

@wyatt what will i do without my three VIC 20s? (one of them works!)
Show threadwyattMar 11
@mjdxp the others don't? what's wrong
also if you really have three i could use the function key caps from one, or an entire keyboard. I don't have one with the sandy coloured function keys.
(PET typeface keycaps would also be desirable)

@wyatt i'm not completely sure, i'm not an expert at diagnosing old computers, all i know is the two broken ones don't show any image on power on. one of them is really beat up and has some missing keys, another smells really weird and has double sided tape all over it.

and unfortunately i'm not really able to ship stuff at the moment for personal reasons (and if i had a PET style keyboard i wouldn't want to let it go anyway lol)

@wyatt Wii is retro dangit!!

I wish the demosceners and suchlike didn't seem to have the view of *waves paw at the picture* unironically

I mean they'd probably be /okay/ with Wii and stuff but not really excited about it

@IceWolf wii hardware is too well-behaved for intriguing demos imo
pre-3D stuff is much more fun and crazy and usually has lower level documentation
that's just my opinion though, also to me the wii represents the last time i got a game console new, and it's new enough to be an emulation station

@IceWolf if a wii demo made me question what was possible on the hardware i'd say it was a good demo

i just don't think it encourages that kind of thing like, say, drawing in the border regions of a commodore 64 does. Stuff that the hardware wasn't really supposed to be able to do but due to some bizarre design quirk is actually possible

@[email protected] this is old enough that it applies to the ps3 and xbox360 and nearly to the 3ds

my nephew who has a switch didnt know what my 3ds was and when I turned it on he thought it was a wii ​​
Show threadwyattMar 11
@oriiyon i disagree because they only stopped making the 3ds under 10 years ago
