Okay. I just realised that there was recently some Amico news.
Intellivision has created a mascot for Amico. The mascot is called "Mico"... and here they are:
Well, there you go. Time Extension also reports that the CEO, Phil Adams, gave an update on Amico Home, the app that lets you play Amico games on mobile devices:
Time Extension wrote:Intellivision CEO Phil Adam has issued a Valentine's Day update on the troubled Amico console, and it makes for pretty depressing reading if you're one of the many people who pre-ordered the device all those years ago.
Rather than give any update on the progress of the Amico, Adam instead talks about Intellivision launching games on the Amazon App Store, bringing the Amico Home app to other platforms (such as Android TV) and compatibility between the Amico controller and Amico Home:
"We continue working to make our Bluetooth hardware Amico Controller compatible with Amico Home on Android devices. We have made significant progress in recent weeks. We hope to provide a working demonstration in the near future. Compatibility with Amico Home is the first step in our plan to manufacture Amico controllers. Our goal is to sell Amico controllers this Christmas season for use with Amico Home."

Time ExtensionI wonder if folk will be excited to buy an Amico controller to use with their mobile device? I guess that it at least
proves that the controller is needed for the full Amico experience
.
Finally, if you'd rather buy Tommy Tallarico's home than Amico Home,
his US house is currently available for just under $3m.

That unique mascot is exactly what's needed to turn around the project's fortunes. Well done, Intellivision!

I'm wondering if Green Gecko may use Mico as his new avatar image

At least all that money wasn't completely wasted.

^ My Mico graphic was a little large and bold on my signature so I've taken it off. So long for now, Mico!

This feels like a huge plot twist... Tomous and Knoyleo are fighting to bid for Tallarico's house?!?

If you give him the money in advance, you’ll get an NFT ”key” to keep until he vacates the premises.

Seems topically relevant that for some reason there's a giant face of Willy Wonka in the cinema room, wat
Themed rooms in general
(when you don't have anything else to do with all your rooms)

Not something I want to meditate on right now. Too many hacks, if they have talent, they let it carry them for 100 years somehow.
As I constantly tell myself, there is nothing more sad than wasted talent. If you have a mouth on you, it seems to be a lot more easy...
