I'm surprised someone on HN since 2012 would learn about the demoscene today! Then again, it's true that the demoscene "keeps to itself", it's always been quite the bubble. I'm not sure how that community could do some outreach, but I believe a lot more people would find it interesting.

Something something lucky 10,000

For those not in the know, this is an xkcd reference: https://xkcd.com/1053/

It's a citation I want to give out surprisingly often.

Important to keep in mind the 10000 is in relation to the population of USA. On the scale of the whole world it's more like lucky 200000.

I wish HN had a top nav link and a mechanism like it has for “Show HN” posts, but for demoscene stuff. The prefix one would use could be “Demoscene HN” or something, and the rule would be the same as for the “Show HN” prefix – that using it is “allowed” only when the submitted of the link was involved in making the thing :D
