    Anyone follow Blaseball? I'm thinking about rolling some ansi stats-type screens for current games in the upcoming season, maybe some team ansi
    art. There's a reliable api for scores and player stats, too.

    Big San Francisco Lovers fan. But occasionally root for the Kansas City
    Breath Mints and Canda Moist Talkers.

    If you're curious, it's kind of hard to explain, but this is a good vid
    that breaks it down:

    I'm sure people will move on to the next fad, but the community reminds
    me a lot of the best of the BBS world: passionate, dedicated -- and a
    little bit wierd.

    Cheers,

    I probably won't get in to the game but I love your analogy with the BBS community. Happy to be thought of as passionate, dedicated and a little bit weird... should really have that on a business card I think :)
