    Way more even. Just look at emulation on Android, you can play good damn Sekiro on it by now.

    Even if they manage to take away our desktops, Smartphones become beautifully powerful and can be docked to TVs and all via USB-C easily.

    We need to get MUDs more popular again. But that would require getting Telnet popular again.

        It means Multi User Dungeon. It's a networked multiplayer game, usually focused on dungeon-crawling as the name suggests. Early ones were based heavily on BD&D and AD&D, but others got more creative.
