Peri-preview: So you bought a C64? (Patreon)

Dear Supporters

It's a good news/not so good news kind of update!:

Grannyfractic

As you'll know if you watched last week's Peri/phrastic vlog, Ladyfractic's grandmother had spent some time in the hospital last week. Unfortunately she's back in again. This means we've taken on some unexpected responsibilities which have slowed progress this week, and Puppyfractic is dog sitting for little Sophiefractic. (Why does everyone's name here end with an "ee" sound?)



Pooter

The good news is my computer is back and as you may have seen on the Patreon Lens (on certain tiers) Apple kindly replaced the entire base; everything except the screen. This means new keyboard, new logic board... But the bad bad news is also new SSD drive. Fortunately I had a Time Machine backup, but there were some complications (= more delay).

The better news is the black screen crashes I've been plagued with as mentioned in the vlog seem to be gone! 🥳 So this will really help future progress!

Video

The good news is the next video's footage is in the can and editing is proceeding well. I'm really pleased with it. But, it's something of a new format which took some retooling and extra prep. Plus it's multi-camera, and I have 6 hours footage to try to get down to around 20 minutes. This means it won't be ready till next week.

For now though please enjoy the first 7 minutes or so, as a special exclusive Peri-preview! Let me know any tweaks or suggestions.

This weekend I'll be publicly releasing the recent patron-only live unboxing, with a little Ladyfractic enhancement. You'll see... 😉

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support 🙏🕹️

Your friend in retro, Perifractic
