I would like this. But also a trackball version.

As with music, I think a lot of the beauty and art of gamedev comes from working within your limitations. I'm a mediocre (at best) guitar player--how can I make pretty music with guitar? Well, get better. But also make music within my skill set. Some of my favorite games from the last few years (e.g. Moonring, Caves of Qud, Wildermyth) are not AAA powerhouses, but they're fantastic games using the tech and development models they chose. (And they run on a potato.)

This is magically nostalgic for me. I had many friends in high school who were really pushing what could be done with VGA graphics with the tools we had available at the time (when we were supposed to be doing arrays or something in Turbo Pascal)

Hilariously, one of the infamous little stupidities of the GWoT-era US Army was the obsession with wearing reflective belts for safety in anything that could be considered less than perfect visibility conditions. No faster way to get yelled at by a senior enlisted leader than by not wearing your reflective belt (over your camouflage uniform) in a motor pool, or 10 seconds after mean nautical twilight. On a FOB in Afghanistan.

I bet they already had the reflective gear issued.
