To be fair to Neil, his fence sitting approach is exactly how a corporation would position itself; neutral, opinion-less and avoiding controversy at all costs.
Having a strong opinion on a controversial topic poses a threat to his income stream(s), so from a business point of view, he’s doing the right thing.
Morally however, that is a different discussion, and I have no doubt he harbours strong views on certain topics.
I have a LinkedIn profile which projects a very corporate and ‘safe’ view of the world.
Whereas my twitter profile is littered with strong views on atheism, Qatar’s stance on human rights and how shit the Atari Lynx is. But they mix like oil and water.
Yep, which is why I’m always pointing out to people that the whole political correctness thing grew out of capitalism as it was about maximising profits by not offending potential customers. Of course that’s now gone the other way and they’re actually employing activists who are making brands political much to their disappointment when they realise the majority don’t share the political views of their latest diversity hire.
yes quite right like kathleen kennedy and the “the force is female” mob of idiots she installed at lucasfilm to ruin star wars. that went REALLY well ! from possibly the biggest franchise of all time to something that is derided and hated by fans and newcomers alike ! the only good star wars stuff are things like andor and rogue one that KK had ZERO to do with. anything she’s involved with turns to toilet immediately.
She was utterly clueless and clearly had an agenda. Saying there was no plan for star wars, no material when Disney took over. What? there was a whole plan that George handed over and she didn’t want to do any of it. I think part of the deal was Lucas got 30% of any money made from merchandise over his characters so they bumped them all off and created new ones.
they also didn’t create new ones in a lot of cases they just changed them to avoid ip infringement. it’s why the tie fighters have “red bits” now, it’s enough of a distinguishing feature to sell them without paying george. it’s why c3p0 had a red limb, too. a lot of the changes were red so the factory could use one colour instead of multiples with the toys then being more expensive to produce. jj abrams only came onboard when they told him he could do this, it was all just a cynical cash grab from the off.
it’s why the millenium falcon looks different, too. everything looks different in subtle ways but just enough so they could nudge aside the old product and offer “the same but new” and keep the money for themselves. it backfired though as no-one wanted any of them !
I think Lucas said something like he expected it to go how their takeover of Pixar went. Basically nothing changed other than reporting lines, profit share etc. But nope, they bought it and got him out of the way as they wanted to do an even worse job than he did with the prequels.

Said it before, will say it again..
Neil was the person who deleted comments exposing Jane Whittaker for the proven liar he is, on his guest appearance slit on Neil’s CDTV repair video.
Downvote till your fingers bleed, it won’t undo the FACT Neil puts views and likes, over fundamental morality.
He knew Jane Whittaker was a recognised fake, someone who constantly uses other people’s platforms to self promote, lie and remain in the public eye.
It would of taken no time for Neil to issue a simple update comment/disclaimer on his video, but instead he deliberately deleted comments warning people Jane was lying.
once again mate fully agreed and lol yes isn’t it surprising to see the dislike brigade out in force ! well the saying goes that if you don’t have any enemies you’ve never stood up for what you believe in and this is playing out as true here as it seems this report has certainly ruffled as few feathers ! truth hurts ?
All these folk good and true, white-Knighting Neil via the downvotes…
How about you have the stones to post a counter argument, detailing exactly why likes of myself are wrong in our views.
Explain how morally, Neil was perfectly justified to leave Jane Whittaker as a guest speaker on his video, had no obligation to his YT audience (Neil) to point out he’d been duped..
And why Neil was justified to delete genuine comments warning people Jane was lying through his teeth in the video making out he’d worked for Microprose on various Amiga flight sims etc.
I personally don’t care if people are down voting my comments as they support Neil, Jane or both.
Not if they absolutely hate my guts.
The fact is Neil’s actions earn him his reputation as do Jane’s.
quite right mate as i’ve said, the downvotes simply prove the facts of the situation. all they can do is log in and think “oh yeah this’ll really SHOW THEM ! let’s DOWNVOTE !” but lol this isn’t youtube, people haven’t stumbled onto this place, it’s a bastion of truth and there is no place here for these fucking arseholes and i think that irks them greatly. they can’t report, they can’t have things taken down by crying to some higher body. if they want to complain they can contact myself or geezer and we’ll pop the complaint in the bin ourselves ! arseholes !
it is nice to see sanity prevailing though as even with 5 dislikes the ratio is still heavily in favour of people with their heads screwed on, not screwed up ! neil’s a narrative shaping parasite. sooner or later these people are going to finally realise that the middle of the road is the most dangerous place to be in ! as soon as AI can present shows they’re all fucked. get an AI bot that isn’t interested in begging for everyone’s “old tech” and/or doing fucking manscaping adverts and they’re all done for. any AI will be able to crib from wikipedia or other online sources just as they do and it’ll be much more pleasant to listen to something with no ulterior motives or insidious begging built in. this current crop of “uk retro tubers” are fucking horrid. the way they close ranks whilst still trying to step on one another to remain in the light is something to behold. truly awful.
That’s one of the reasons I unsubbed from some of these channels. For years I’ve wanted a CDTV and an Amiga 1000 and people just hand them over for free to these people.
yes mate they’re scum. i feel similarly, although it’s my fault for making content that no-one watches and for having an audience who’re above funding it (despite this endeavour actually costing, unlike youtube which hosts for free) but i made about 5 grand last year and that was all the money i had for the entire year and it all came from my very generous and extremely appreciated patreon backers and basically selling everything console/game wise that i had collected over my life just to pay bills :/ but yes these arseholes just getting sent all this stuff as if it’s nothing just so some prawn can get a mention on their show is bizarre to me. half of it winds up monetized in some way or another, too, either from being fixed up (or not) and sold on ebay or charging people to look at it or from ad revenue from videos about it. all very odd. these people are real slime !
Tubby Gristle likes David but can’t see why it needs a kickstarter… HOLD THE FUCK UP. Tubby cant see why it needs a kickstarter BUT she got involved in the Barcadia grift even though Peter admitted they didn’t need the £25k.. Let that sink in.
there’s no end to the fuckwittery of that one really. it’s all about what pleases who and upholding uneasy allegiances. pathetic !

Nice video George
Its good to see someone calling out Wide-boy Neil for a change
How Heber and himself has been milking the MiSTer project for every little drop of change they can over the past few years is a sight to see. Even to the point of Richard from Heber fishing on the likes of the Official MiSTer forum of ways to fork the project to milk it even more. This is without giving anything back to the project or making their designs open source of course
You then get his great mate Jurassic Dave promoting blindly everything that comes out of Heber
One of my recent favourites is the “Super Video Custard Cartridge” their MiSTer Multisystem board at only £65.99 which enables S-video and composite output by converting the RGB signal. Ironically the MiSTer project recently added the ability the get S-video and composite direct from the core with no RGB conversion via the VGA connector (which the MMS has) with a simple Luma trap which costs around £16
Dont get me started on the CTRLDock Classic SE Joystick Adapter they launched recently which costs over £100 including case and is based on a £3.60 Pi Pico……
The one good thing is at least Rich is getting called a parasite now which is a start
i’ve called him out a few times mate his behaviour is bullshit. he’s a bully and a gatekeeper just like the rest of them. in public it’s all pea sized eyes and wide smiles but in private it’s pea sized eyes narrowed to hateful slits and scheming to the max ! all about the grift and how much money they can make this lot. “oh but neil doesn’t have any money he’s not coining it in, none of them are” well it’s not for lack of fucking trying, almost every week there’s some new bullshit get rich quick “off retrogaming idiots” scheme hatched with one or more of these twats at the center of it !
Yeah the scene seems to be very full of grifters sadly but Neil has quite a dedicated bunch of followers lead by Jurassic Dave and its horrible to see him riding on this
The whole ” Retrogaming Museum” makes me laugh every time
To be fair on Neil and Heber, they’ve done a good job of making the MiSTer easier for normies to understand. Though I don’t know why they bothered. The MiSTer community is full of more angry autistics than the Amiga and ZX Spectrum community combined, which is quite an achievement.
i like a good story mate i like to see all the pieces spread out and to check the allegiances and suchlike it is all very interesting i think humans are interesting in general just the way we interact with each other and the stuff that spirals off that and people’s public and private faces etc there’s not much more duplicitous than the retro gaming scene it’s a real pit of vipers and shifting, uneasy alliances !
kim justice did, too, more or less. it was obvious to ANYONE who’s not got an agenda of self preservation that overrides everything else. neil knew the situation he just didn’t want to say as per usual it’s pathetic. there’ll be some excuse but i think it’s very obvious.

your videos are so good, the editing etc is so on point.
well to be fair mate i only really started editing them recently or at least putting in the micro edits and stuff it started mainly with the SLOPS video as i just got a new pc i couldn’t import lots of files into the video editing software on my old pc it would just lock up. it does take a lot longer to do things this way but in some cases it’s warranted (because it’s funny lol)

Neil is absolute slime.
you will get no disagreement from me there mate i remember that, too. horrid people, the lot of them.
So we have 5 fans of Neil here.
Welcome one and all.
Downvote till your fingers bleed, it won’t undo the FACT Neil puts views and likes, over fundamental morality.

I was once given an Amiga 3000, it was rescued from a skip at Psygnosis by someone who worked there. He obviously removed all the hard disks.
Tubby Gristle likes David but can’t see why it needs a kickstarter… HOLD THE FUCK UP. Tubby cant see why it needs a kickstarter BUT she got involved in the Barcadia grift even though Peter admitted they didn’t need the £25k.. Let that sink in.

I guess he’s a Mister Man. Mr Fence?
Mr Milky Milky
You can see why he loves the MiSTer. Just like himself it can be programmed to be all sorts of things.
very deftly put mate. at best it’s a wonderful emulator (of an actual human being) but it’s obviously not running on original hardware.
To be fair on Neil and Heber, they’ve done a good job of making the MiSTer easier for normies to understand. Though I don’t know why they bothered. The MiSTer community is full of more angry autistics than the Amiga and ZX Spectrum community combined, which is quite an achievement.
Bloody hell George, you are on a roll 🙂

Even his mate Mark had the balls to call it snake oil
