@commodoreofficial.bsky.social, What happened to the original joysticks? It took 6 months to get my order, I tested it, loved it, wanted another, was disappointed... Will there be an option for both joystick types?

Dear @commodoreofficial.bsky.social, Where the heck is the joystick I ordered in February? You've released 1 computer 1 phone and pissed off an entire community since then. Please send me my joystick so my daughter and I can play games together. Sincerely, Modern Retro

I caught a Fox news headline about the Graham Platner mess and how the Democratic party knew and put him forward anyway. Of course they were outraged at the audacity. 1. Graham Platner is trash. 2. Trump is a convicted felon and rapist with multiple other accusations. Sadly the irony is lost.

More research needs to be done but I'm initially excited about the new Commodore phone. I do hate the thumbnail for the video. Commodore really needs to ditch the YouTuber vibe. The office page at commodore.net looks promising though. youtu.be/ixD_fqrnA_c?...
