OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Wow, look I get some backers are just hopeful and willing to gamble, but people like that posting everywhere, going on an on about how this is Atari's big comeback? Damn, you are all Icarus flying way too high up and too close to the sun and we all know damn well how THAT turns out........

Because I'm positive that'll amuse me far more than the Amico ever will. Both you and Tommy, knock it the hell off, or I will kick you both out of the thread. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new console is so hot and on the cusp of such greatness that one person has to spam about a box on Reddit. Just like a real tech product! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy the Atarian Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 In case anyone's intelligence hasn't been insulted today, then I've got the article for you. It sounds like it was written by a bot that was forced to read through hours of posts on the VCS fan page. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromeOS can literally run on a Raspberry Pi out of the box. The VCS is going to need an external drive for it, that'll probably cost you more than a Raspberry Pi.

Still better value than the 'All-In' bundle though. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 In celebration of the lameness surrounding atari vcs I just ate plain tacos. A shell, minimal un-flavored beef, and a smattering of mild cheese. Nothing else! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark-aleph Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 It's Ubuntu based, so I took the lid off and had some open sauce. The AtariOS is not OS though, so I couldn't put any on the taco... Had to pass on the beef, too. I kept asking "Where's the beef?" but the only answer I got was "No moos is good moos." In the end it was just crackers and cheese. Like the whole campaign, really. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't describe it that hot though. I know that arrogant bastard has been brought up before. But has anyone tried the Punishment sauce? I know Crime has a good rep here. Thinking of putting in a order. If yer looking for some good heat, check out Marie's smokin habanero. This stuff is like liquid smoke in a bottle, a really good flavor, nice spice profile and lots of heat. heathotsauceshop.com sells it and they give you a free dried ghost pepper and stickers when you buy anything from them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
