Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it.
I’m still in the process of finding my voice. I specifically want to call out
tech companies for their bad behaviour because people tend to just focus on the
tech and how cool it is and not on the impact it’s having on actual people and
their lives.
As for the swearing... I’m trying to keep it down but... have you met me? 😜 But
in all seriousness when a company is acting like a piece of poo I am most
definitely going to swear. Steve Jobs was a narcissist a-hole who never
believed in charity. Bill Gates is using his money to cure diseases that are
too expensive to cure but only save the lives of some of the worlds poorest
people. Yet when Steve Jobs dies there’s candles and vigils and people crying.
But right now people are saying Bill Gates is like putting chips in vaccines
like some supervillain. This is wrong. Objectively wrong. And I want to swear
when calling out something that’s wrong because that’s swearworthy.
Bringing it back to Commodore, I think Jack Tramiel had integrity. He quit in
part because he believed that Irving Gold’s use of company resources for
personal gain was wrong. And it was wrong. Company executives have been and
continue to steal money form companies which is stealing from shareholders. And
when I report on these things I’m going to call them out for being the
predatory narcissistic psychopath’s that they are and I’m going to tell them
that they can eat a bag of smashed apples, and I’m gonna swear about it because
people give technology companies too much leeway because they are so excited
about the new phone in their pocket and not the slave labour that put it there.
Thanks for the watching and for the feedback!

Ps - Commodore also contaminated the ground water when they were making chips
and if that were a new news story I would have called them on that as well. But
since the company doesn’t exist anyone I can love their computers with reckless
abandon.

Hi Chiron. I watched your new video. It was interesting, but you should tone
it down a bit. Use of swear words and sexual innuendo is not necessary. Keep
on truckin'!

Looks cool Chiron. I've subscribed.
If you want to cover some new games for Commodore PET, I've written a few
over the last year and in so doing I discovered that there are several
others who do this as well.
Check out:
Frogger (about 2 months old) by Chris Garrett:

Attack of the PETSCII Robots (also about 2 months old) by 8-bit Guy:
