There's a time and space for games, but I'll just note that for HN readers, following https://www.amazon.com.au/Digital-Design-Computer-Architectu... and building a RISC-V in Verilog is easily manageable.
I'll look into it. I think I acquired frugality from reading a few books that made me frugal. I'd like other traits too.
Those are easy to see, but there are few people who clean their dishes for fun/leisure.

Looks great, but my partner needs something more convenient. It needs to be web based and work on desktop/mobile.
Nice. I've been looking for something like this to self-host, to avoid my partner uploading sensitive documents to random PDF manipulation websites. Any better alternatives I should be considering?

Wow. If anything, working around 8 bit's limitations seems to make 32 bit look simpler in comparison.
