Another custom C64 completed. I call this one the "Vader". 🙂
New keycaps have given my Ultimate64 its own look. Expensive board, expensive case and three sets of keys, but it looks like it means business. 🙂

Jim Drew's Indiegogo campaign to produce new keycaps for the Commodore 64 has come to fruition. Apart from a few printing issues, which he had no control over, they are fantastic.

I'm biased because I worked on the project, but I'm genuinely delighted with how they turned out.

So this exists: The Secret of Monkey Island intro scene on the #Atari 2600. Impressive stuff.

The kind and talented @commodorelad has modified this Japanese #commodore VIC-1001 power supply for me from 110V to 220V.
It arrived today and I added the euro plug.
Thanks a lot mate, it works well.👍

Why do some people feel the need to 'model' beds / mirrors and such they're selling? Is it a case of any excuse to pose like that on the Internet? Is that just how people are now?

Maybe they're not genuine ads and are actually looking to steal someone's van. Either way, it's kind of terrifying.

Keycaps *really are* coming. After at least two years worth of delays, following months of development and many late nights tweaking the shapes and decals, they are on their way.

I just hope and pray the end result is absolutely right. Nothing else will do.

Is there a word for when, for example, you have to fit three weeks worth of work into one week and the end result is so messy and rushed, the process of going back and fixing all the mistakes takes a month?
