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").
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.”
Blatant self-promotion, to give myself a nice story to pin
