I'm already subbed to all of the subreddits about Commodore and retro computing. But, good tip for anyone who might not know there's such a thriving scene still hanging in there. The old machines are fun in ways that modern things can't replicate. Sure, we can do so much more today, with so much less effort...but a single human being can hold all of the Commodore 64 in their head (by that, I mean, it's possible for someone to understand every component, and if really ambitious reproduce all of it, or some components of it, from scratch...and a few people have, in FPGAs, among other things).

I have a real C64 (along with a MSSIAH cartridge to make a nice synth), but rarely have the time or space to tinker with it.
