I must admit, I was thinking "fidget spinner" whilst watching it 🤣

My OH knits, so she can see the use for it

Closest I got was a technique for making socks, but that was just using a single needle, not a device like a spool knitter

Another bit of experimental archeology would be to try one for bearing shapes into metal, like the ones used to make plates for helmets

mine doesn't have any, but I got it cheap, in a hurry

I'm trying to imagine making a torc with it, but guessing not that

I was wondering about the knobs as a former

Too true

I would not think it good for mail, but not for those reasons

I think the creation shows skill and technique, and he was too quick to dismiss that

It was too short a video. Did he *try* to use it like the knitting tool? A bit of practical archaeology was called for

He considers that, but is not convinced by it, given the limited range in which it is found

To keep it on point, I guess

As a TFT/ITL fan, I liked GURPS

As it is, Session 0 for TFT this week

I can't believe that I believe I wouldn't believe it!

I blinked until I parsed "mole" correctly

My only active dislikes in RPGs, as opposed to "just not to my tastes" are
-- edgelords
-- proclaiming as a great new idea, something folk have been doing for years
-- claiming moral superiority over using visual aids/not using visual aids. It's your game, what is needful

Everything else is taste
