Do you happen to still have a link to this software?

Not plate, unless at very close range and at a very favorable angle. Mail, sure.

A traditional roguelike, in the line of TGGW/Cogmind/Nethack/Brogue/DCSS, would probably be nice. Not really a "slow strategy game", granted, but the fact that animations/colors aren't necessary makes

Shelob is not a primordial being. She is one of the children of Ungoliant, who is herself a fallen Ainur.

Barrow-wights are Bombadil's servants? Ridiculous. Tolkien made it clear that they were the spawn of the Witch King, sent out to ensure that no men could settle in that particular area. This is reinforced by the fact that Bombadil hims

Imagine all the adult toys that would be dug up. Fertility cult or something.

(Author here.) Fair enough, I should have done my research on that. I had barely touched Myrddin, was just beginning to look into Zig, and hadn't heard of (or felt the need for) that feature in Rust at the time I wrote that post.

It was public but unlisted, so you won't find it from the frontpage. (i.e., the same level of secrecy Hare's website had before the release.)

(Author here.) Yeah fair enough, it's not really a complaint worth making. I was more just listing things I noticed in general than faulting Hare for it.

Yes, it is indeed outdated, however some of the criticism/praise is still relevant. I'll see if I can take a second look at the language in the coming days.
