Hi there! I’m just a guy looking for a place to be and stuff.
“I teleported home one night, With Ron and Sid and Meg. Ron stole Meggie’s heart away, And I got Sidney’s leg.” - The Teleportation Blues
Nice! I’m going to have a look at my old HS yearbook and see who’s opposite page…
“Future Farmers of America”
“It’s the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that’s not important right now.”
I’m interested enough in this game to pick it up when it comes out, but I have to admit that I didn’t finish the first one. I liked it well enough, but my interest in it just petered out over time, and at some point, I just never came back to it. I hope that “i” will be a little more compelling. Either that, or I hope my attention span has increased over the last ten years!
“What role did you get? How did you get it?”
“Please count to 10.”
“… um, I’ve run out of fingers.”
Hold my 401k, I’m goin’ in!
“Replicator, give me a slice of mushroom pizza.”
“Hot or cold.”
“Hot.”
“Space-warping travel mushrooms or the ones that grow on old logs.”
“Uh, the log ones I guess.”
“Coward.”
“You want me to play a robot? But I want to show off my acting range!”
“Don’t worry, you’ll also get to play two other robots and a couple of old guys!”
“Aaass yoooou–” *squish*

Sweet or dill?
“You already reversed the polarity? All right, but did you really? Let’s do it one more time while we’re on the phone together… oh, it’s working now? Yeah, that is weird, goodbye.”
“Paige, yes!”
I can’t remember which model it was, but wasn’t there a MacBook Pro that had 4 USB-C ports, only two of which supported Thunderbolt? Want to connect your monitor to the right side of the machine? Well… tough shit, I guess.
It’s interesting that Dave mentioned education as a possible market for these. I thought kids were learning Javascript on their school-issued Chromebooks these days. It would be nice to teach students about the concepts of computer hardware architecture… but the Commander’s architecture is kinda weird, being a hodgepodge of ancient (6502) and modern (FPGA), with bank-switched memory and the desire for backwards compatibility with Commodore peripherals hanging off of it like a lamprey. Sure, students could learn about computer architecture on it, but it’s hard to see how it’s better than other, cheaper options. Big money awaits if they can pull it off though.
“What is… a ‘Puppy Bowl?’”
“You have much pain… share it with me.”
