What if #ProjectKobold was actually a browser in it's own right, but instead of browsing the web, you browse a web of 2D platformer or topdown environments.

A playable web, where we can meet and talk to others browsing. And possibly with a privacy mode, where you're in your own instance of everywhere you go (that is, not connected to the server, just exploring the "site").

C (negative)

I hate that C is still the main programming language people learn, because it's fucking old and nobody wants to move on from it because "it's fast and it's too hard to learn anything else", even though the vast majority of languages are EASIER TO USE AND LEARN THAN FUCKING C

I have had this very conversation myself, many times.

It's remarkably similar to talking to economists about growth and thermodynamics.

I had a conversation with a bridge engineer one evening not long ago. I said, “Bridges, they are nice, and vital, but they fall down a lot.”

He looked at me with a well-worn frustration and replied, “Falling down is what bridges do. It’s the fate of all bridges to fall down, if you don’t understand that, you don’t understand bridges.”
