Yes, I have been using eshell exclusively for the last 7 years. It does have a few drawbacks, but for me it's definitely a win overall due to a) everything being in a buffer, b) being able to run both elisp functions and executables from the command line, and c) tramp.

P.s. I chuckled a bit when you mentioned sixel graphics support as modern. :) Jokes aside, I have my own toy implementation of sixel graphics in elisp, so decent emacs support is probably out there already.

Indeed! Computer Recreations was the absolute best. I remember implementing an algorithm from this that displayed 3d projections of a 4d rotating hypercube; then extending it to support red/blue cellophane 3d glasses (or as best as possible with a 16 colour pallette). So much fun and learnt so much!

Reading Mickey's stuff is always such a joy. Must remember to buy his book one of these days!

Wholeheartedly agree. Personally I believe that the only chance we as a species will be able to respond in time, is if there are a string of very acute very tragic disasters to galvanise a lasting global response. I don't see how cooperation on such a scale is possible otherwise.

Agreed. Any solution that involves somehow magically convincing billions of other people to do things that aren't in their immediate individual best interests is not a solution. I.e. we don't "know how to fix it".

Wow, I actually searched through both the Emacs and Elisp info manuals before making that claim, and came up empty. Sorry for the noise!

Hi, what do you mean by "tab" in this context? In Emacs there are buffers, windows and frames. Maybe you mean frame?

Ironsworn is amazing, just be sure to pick up the Delve expansion if you're playing the original, it adds a lot of depth.

Fantastic! What do you play?

What a great write-up, thank you.

Thanks for creating the community! Hopefully a few from /r/solorpg and /r/Solo_Roleplaying can make the jump.
