Song name? I feel like it's way too fucking good to be an ad jingle

Yea, just sold to a prominent retro computer YouTuber (though I'm blanking on the name atm) so I think it's in good hands now (though too soon for this product, it was literally like a week or 2 ago they closed the deal)

Perifractic is the name of the YouTuber

Feels a little pricey to be successful. A pity.

It’s an extremely niche product, to be fair. The general public was never going to buy it, and diehards will buy it at a premium price. When you consider the small manufacturing runs they’re probably planning, the price seems less ridiculous IMO.

I wouldn’t pay $300 for it, so I don’t claim it’s a “good value”, but I can understand from a mathematics of manufacturing standpoint why the price is something like that.

Better value than a cocaine or Warhammer habit, probably not as good value as a good chainsaw

Lmfao, what a scale!

They cost $2,000 (in 2025 $) when they released in 1982. Sounds like a deal to me!
