I've less than zero love for Commodore stuff, I'll admit up front. Even as a retro computing enthusiast and computer historian I think the adoration that Commodore (both the C64 and Amiga) get far outweighs any practical reasoning of what the machines are capable of

But the thing I've truly struggled to understand, particularly with PeriFractic and his bleating of "I OWN THE COMMODORE NAME NOW!" is just

...who cares? If you like Commodore stuff, great. Do things that make you happy. But does having a C64 with "the commodore name" printed on it owned by some slop peddling youtuber (both in his embracement of LLM's and that bizarre "dumb phone but also not" project) truly change anything for fans?

If you're buying an "A1200 accelerator" does the fact it says "AMIGA" on it make it more valuable than if it just said "68K accelerator" or some other generic term?
