Pretty reasonable comment section. This is just as stupid as the TikTok conversation. RISK-V could be a real game changer, something that is ultimately good for business, but the rabid Sinophobes of America would rather stab themselves in the gut than do any real competition.

The entire computer stack is beholden to open standards. We'd be living in proprietary hell, and computers would be dog shit without them. Hexbear would only exist as a dial in BBS or Usenet instance.

Legend of the Red Dragon or Usurper

Why you gotta make me feel old like that?

Also, this has got me seriously thinking about running a doorgame system for the good people here. Mostly because I haven't played Tradewars 2002 in literally decades and I feel an itch to do so.

That's pretty sweet.

Shit that looks so cool. I was maybe 10 years to late to experience the BBS scene.
