And again. New magazine. Great! Monthly. Great! Release announcement in english, so given that this is the first issue, and we have no reason to believe otherwise, what language would you assume the mag was in? I don’t even get why people put release announcements in a different language to the content, but if you are, don’t you think it would be wise to make note of that fact? :)

Jailbard can’t have quit the scene, there was no ’goodbye’ thread at csdb.

[18] : 09. May 2005 20:34   
@17: it depends on what he meant for the scene. Me, I would get poop-on-a-stick.

Shut the fuck up or I’ll come back! And you’ll all get a huge dick with "I came on your back" tattoed on it.

Someone from my home town claimed that one of the past visions presented by our fellow elected politicians was to build a bar on top of the sewerage central. The bar was supposed to have a glass floor, so you could look down at the wonders. Dunno if it is true, but if so it would be a great place to host comeback parties.

Ouch, that WinCommodore64 emulator is really horror... Slow, awful sound, and you immediately puke at the compatibility (quickly tried it on Deus Ex Machina / Crest). Rofl...

Question: why gets the cevi-aktuell replaced into "c-64 related news" while the last lotek announcement can be read regularly (in march)? Can someone explain that to me as a "wacky german" ? Thanks.

[43] : 23. May 2005 21:45   
@finchy: because you made the mistake to spend your time and energy to the C64. learn from it and move on! Look at CSDb! It is gone because their authors did not want to provide a platform to infant lamers any more!

[44] : 23. May 2005 22:29   
[40] I did it.
CreaMD

[45] : 23. May 2005 23:45   
Well, i’m fairly sure it wasn’t me but i wouldn’t like to quote myself on that... [puzzled look?]

[46] : 24. May 2005 14:01   
@CreaMD: So why has it been moved? May I assume that when I post issue #2, this news will get moved, too?

[47] : 24. May 2005 15:45   
[46] After up-to-24 hours. Releases and links in main news should be accessible for english-speaking visitors. Lotek was probably news added by by MacGyver an he as an co-admin of c64.sk could have some independency...
CreaMD

[48] : 24. May 2005 16:10   
[42] Seems like these expert opinions are related to Pocket C64 which is IMO quite cool emulator for hand-held computer. C64.sk supports Clickgamer’s Pocket C64 and exchanges links with http://www.clickgamer.com/c64 because I think every potential new/old/retro user of C64 should know that there is still activity in the C64 scene.

As far as Official C64 emulator is concerned, I hope owners of rights will leave the choice on people. Their tactics of releasing 1 news once in about half year is quite interesting. I wonder if there will be PAL DTV under our PAL christmas trees ;-)). (if there already isn’t one released, but I would probably learn about it from somewhere)
CreaMD

[49] : 24. May 2005 16:22   
I don’t get the point, but I guess complainig doesn’t help. Nevertheless i’ll try ;) Lotek64 is a german pdf mag which (mostly) focuses on C-64. And so is the cevi-aktuell. I’m not accusing Lotek here, don’t think so. But what the heck has this to do with independency? There are several ppl posting THEIR news here. So what? I thought that would be the idea of an open news forum? Even polish forums get announced officially and don’t get removed, so why the freaking heck are we? English speaking visitors can go for it, but won’t be able to read it - that’s why I wrote "in german language only" - as many other diskmags do and never get moved to "related news"?! Phew, guess I’m just stupid or narrow minded - but just imagine you explain it to a little kid ...

[50] : 24. May 2005 16:44   
Try reading what CreaMD wrote - the *admin* who left it in the main news was independent. There were three of us, now there are two and we don’t always have time to keep up - it *should* have been moved but wasn’t, and will be in the future.

[51] : 24. May 2005 16:49   
Thinking of which... if nobody objects, i’m moving that official emulator link and the Retro Soft PR post to beta news end of today for similar reasons.

[52] : 24. May 2005 17:21   
You mean you want to exclude news that are only relevant for one specific country or group of people? Then you also have to exclude, say, a news-posting regarding a C128-related software. Or a posting regarding a party that is too far away from the reader. Too far away? Everyone could go any distance you say? Anyone can learn any language, so what!
The Nonsense PR duffy

[53] : 24. May 2005 17:59   
The point is, to make main news section supporting active C64 scene in the following value-ranked order. New software, New demos, New games Competitions, Parties, 8-bit scene. The rest of the news is evaluated according to it?s importance for active C64 sceners. Active and/or creative C64 sceners (according to our own internal definition) are those who use C64 to run or produce new software, or hardware for C64. Thus www pages, mpeg movies, PC executable game remakes, mp3 remixes and similar stuff usually gets into the related news. Still 12-24 hours in the c64.sk news usually gets you quite important ammount of traffic, so I think it?s worth to add your news even when it get?s moved to related news after some time. Btw. sometimes MacGyver had to add some release news at C64.sk. Now it is on me and T.M.R. But anyone can do this instead of complaining about c64.sk having many "non-release" news. If you want more news about latest C64 releases here, don?t hesitate and post them, please.

@ finchy: It was moved to Related News because ALIH is not able to read (especially not the clear hint Cevi aktuell is in German), instead he yelled here. Actually I also wonder why some links to event related stuff were moved to Related News.

And as for the "Latest Downloads": I took care of this almost alone - WHEN I found the time and motivation. Now I left as it was time to move on. Thanks to the haters.

What I dont get is, why is the KRZYZ:KROSS stuff put into related news as they do something with the c64 at least and not like e.g. this mega-cool retro-trader shop doesnt even have a single c64 related thing on the homepage but still takes like 50% of the news space? Maybe there is something in the "50 Professional Web Site Templates" offer? strange stuff is happening lately... and why are there even cracks for that WC (hence the name)emulator in here? It seems that several people didnt take their daily dose of anodynes... (a totally clueless slator...)

[61] : 24. May 2005 22:53   
[60] There is that 1-24 hours tolerance factor we give to the related news.

Wasn’t the comment about Mermaid just a comment about comments about Mermaid being deleted? That’s a bit wacky isn’t it? I can understand removing comments about one of the admins of this site tho, that’s just the kind of censorship we’ve come to expect from you guys ;)

Maybe you don’t get it, but I hope Hollowman got the joke even when it isn’t extremely funny. I?ll be sincere to you Slartibartfast. 1. This page was running smoothly thanx to people like Mac and especially you are not entitled to give your shortsighted judgements here. 2. Since some recent controversy caused by you. First with Wanderer (believe it or not, I first thought that your claims were valid) and then later one. I gradually found your behaviour irritating. I don?t like you. Now when you know it, please consider not posting your offtopic reactions here again, ever. I?m not interested in your babbling. Thank you. Bye.

I visited my local toy store yesterday to have a look at the TV games they have for offer (lots of Jakks and Radica, nothing DTV yet for obvious reasons). They use a flat screen monitor to demo the TV games on, and the brand of the monitor was Mermaid [something]..
