Not a bad read. Looks like it's got a lot of technique(s) and basics. Could probably use some updates on materials and tooling for higher end (modern/powder metallurgical) steels.

Knowing how to sharpen your tools is something just about everyone should learn. Almost all of us have at least a kitchen knofe that needs attention.

I get so nostalgic about AOL. It's why I learned Visual Basic (a natural progression from QBasic in my DOS days). All my friends and I wrote "Punters", "Macros" and "Progz". It really jump started my journey into Software/Programming. A year or so later I installed NetBSD and never looked back, but I often think about those late night hacking sessions writing horrible VB...

What Is Textmode? 3 years ago

ANSI/Ascii Art will always hold a special place in my heart. The Good ol' WaReZ days and of course my more embarrassing AOL Punters/Progs scene years from my early tweens.

Hasn't this happened before? Reading the History of eSports will show 'pretty much' the same thing happening in the 80's with High Score Arcade tournaments, then in the 90's with Console Game Championships, etc...

We may see another round of interest when the new wave of gaming systems matures, but I think this will always be the case. Maybe next time people will learn from the past?

Just another example of how Organic (clean food) propaganda isn't based in science. I can't tell you how often I hear cooks swear by their redish, darkwe yolk eggs for having some kind of magic properties. Interesting article, good read.

Ok, wow! This is, by far, the most innovative "product" I've seen in years!

I will definitely be keeping a very close eye on this project!

I sincerely hope it does well enough to get to production levels large enough to be "affordable". I would totally buy this for my Daughter's as a way to get them interested in building/coding.

I'm currently part of a team trying to UNDO this very concept. It sounded great in the beginning, but after years of headaches and wasted cash; we're building the backend in something else. I wasn't part of the original team. Nor was I part of the decision to migrate off of the system. I just know that for my employer, it was a bad decision those many years ago...

had a lot of fun, but ended up getting stuck with the dragon. explored every room multiple times but never found anything that helped hurt the dragon. i'm probably just missing something... still fun, up until a point- which from the comments doesn't seem like anyone else hit this snag, so it must just be me lol

I sincerely hope there are some measures taken for the safety of your users. Inviting individuals with social and mental difficulties can, at times, can turn into a dangerous situation. Please do your best to inform your users of the dangers of "meeting" people online, and the risks associated.
