Irregardless of the fact that it could conceivably replace nearly all of
our existing consoles and games, I'm willing to put up with the
nearly-negligible loss of space (totally negligible if we use one of the
broken cabinets or the lounge pc) in the name of a project that a few
members are interested in working on. Heck, I'm willing to put up with
the loss of space for the sole purpose of not having to spend a meeting
talking about and voting on something so trivial.
