Ooo, yeah, um . . . I’m gonna to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

I agree with Guesser. Just because two things share a property does not mean they are not equal.Ast A. Moore wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 3:29 pmOoo, yeah, um . . . I’m gonna to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there.

The conclusion is shirley backwards anyway. I can't see how any logic could arrive at that.ZXDunny wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 11:33 pmI agree with Guesser.

Logic, logic, logic . . . Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.
You both seem to be missing the jokes altogether (two puns and one joke so far, to be precise, for those keeping score at home). Or . . . Could it be the case of the airing of personal grievances? A little too early for that; wait until December 23.

Re: ZX Vega+ Discussion
Can we rename this thread "3 men talking absolute bollocks" ?
Re: ZX Vega+ Discussion
Hi Folks,
I think this is all very sad. When I read the latest message I sent an official request via Indegogo for a full refund. Not expecting to get my money back but you never know.
Personally, I don't care who's fault all of this is - it is just a real shame that something so special has ended this way.

This affair became a Chess game. Of course the winner will be a master in chess. I never won a chess game by the way

I never got this abstract sense of humour and once it was quite frequent on old WOS.
Re: ZX Vega+ Discussion
An absolute fiasco from start to finish.
There is absolutely no excuse for this product not being in the hands of backers already 2+ years later...it's a crappy little handheld, not a ground breaking new propulsion system for sending man to mars.
(btw NASA to make 'major announcement' about red planet discovery today)

You've conflated missing puns with just ignoring and refusing to acknowledge them

Re: ZX Vega+ Discussion
We’re on a bloody third page, man. If that’s “ignoring,” what would “unceasing nitpicking” look like?

I'm not sure if it's connected, but the day after the announcement we smashed* our must users online at one time record.
Most users ever online was 60 on Thu Jun 07, 2018 7:30 am
*I do appreciate that 60 users online at one time is not huge, but for this little site it ain't so shabby!

Re: ZX Vega+ Discussion
Controversial subjects do sometimes have this effect, especially if it's in the news or similar.
With regards to the ZX Vega+.
I'm not surprised, but it is very disappointing that bickering, fighting and what looks like deliberate sabotage, as well as possible incompetence has resulted in this outcome.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

From that newly released video of a supposed ZX Vega+ V2, the games list is, um, slightly less than 1000...

Re: ZX Vega+ Discussion
Being careful here. Mods, I won't be offended if you scissor any or all of this!
What is the point of this video? The users know there are no consoles, Indiegogo know there are no consoles. How come this video surfaces just after the adjourned board meeting?
We know Clive has a proxy at these things and isn't well of late. Was this an attempt by RCL to sway his vote? Because it can't be an attempt to sway the users (look at the comments) or Indiegogo (who require production units).
I was surprised when the original unit came out given the 'unconventional' games licensing techniques used by the company. I was not surprised by the allegations that swirled around said games and the royalties after it was released. I was also unsurprised that some people suggested the Plus was an attempt to pay debts off from the original Vega.
With that in mind the entire thing was doomed from day 1. It was never coming out because there wasn't the money there to do it.
Why it drags on I have no idea. Wouldn't you just wind up the company at this stage and go "ah well we tried". It would all be forgotten in 6 months. And yet it rumbles on.
The project has had such a profound and bad effect on the community. I really just want to see the back of it and everyone involved in it for good.
