It’s not the past though when it’s a computer that actually exists. Are you also gonna tell me not to grow my own vegetables bc we have agriculture? It’s fine to enjoy old things, there’s no reason to throw it all out just because a new thing comes out


maybe you haven't seen the amiga community, it's pretty weird. they still make new hardware for it like expensive Holy Shit accelerator cards with HD graphics, hundreds of megabytes of ram, and hundreds of MHz CPUs and people buy them so its not always about being retro.


What's weird about making new hardware for an old computer? I don't get the issue


well not really an issue with it spend your money how you like etc but I don't really get why you would replace most of the components in an amiga with something like 50x more powerful and act like its the same thing. it still runs amigaos so i guess it kind of is an amiga, but still, why would you do that.. I guess i just don't get it. And the amiga is like the only community where people do this
