So, stock C64 with cartridge or floppy. As with some other C64 incarnations there might come out a couple games that require some or all of the extras, but I think that’s not the appeal of the C64 platform. I can imagine that the demoscene will come out with a handful of demos that require the Ultimate hardware. But I doubt the games will follow.

Had an issue at work, we are supposed to use LLMs A LOT. The thing was: my code was working on a graph, that was keeping track of indices into a text buffer. One routine would add new vertices into the graph, but didn&#39;t know the index into the buffer. It was a bit tricky to understand. I asked Copilot to see what it would make of it. It identified the rough issue, and suggested a fix. Which didn&#39;t work. But the reason was identified correctly!<br/>1/2 2025-12-18T08:08:07Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsx8k2jdlj3vl2xw8443mfxfgs65hhk9zxsn3drn2la4mlauncp3xszyrfgv8pzcz395h7497r2ust9g707gmgag5nwt49xenthq5ztr20pqc7350p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx4jkyvt97jvguzv3zczgjla3g965fr8f06m5pkym9e4mwag3vn7ccdsa7n'>nevent1q…sa7n</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I could WALK 5km in 45 minutes and have a workout and a lot of fun. 2025-12-16T15:05:29Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrnch736cgmekl3qraxqp8vn66d2czqg23h8ygq3hw4rhwdthaqgszyrfgv8pzcz395h7497r2ust9g707gmgag5nwt49xenthq5ztr20pqsljgc0 And the award of „Most unreadable turn disk screen goes to…“<br/>„We are the anomaly by Genesis Project and Extend. <br/>#commodore #c64 #demoscene<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/115/663/303/445/206/288/original/91946ed09ab838ae.mp4"></video><br/> 2025-12-04T21:00:39Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdag660t5hem3emmrjnnmryhf2rlh6yvg9zymw268ryp8rhr90ugczyrfgv8pzcz395h7497r2ust9g707gmgag5nwt49xenthq5ztr20pqw9n6tx Yeah ok, new #commodore IS doing proper production and shipping.

It’s basically a variant of dodgeball with different animals. It’s fun for a while, however I think it is still quite limited. In the later rounds, if the opponent strikes you, it’s basically game over. So yeah, it gets quite difficult pretty quickly. <br/>#retrogaming #nintendo #penguinwars<br/> <img src="https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/113/653/404/633/814/572/original/34e85e68260c7a26.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/113/653/405/162/543/939/original/179da6f5ad6af38a.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/113/653/407/298/190/185/original/1c5bd783acbebedc.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-14T22:00:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs22gkvzk47ch3f2ty8mcvs25xr0mywrpyz343vekx8t4jt04qwtwqzyrfgv8pzcz395h7497r2ust9g707gmgag5nwt49xenthq5ztr20pq6y42x0 Yay!
