Lee Vermeulen's personal blog at 3delement.com covers games and programming. Since 2009, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 14 times, most often “VR and Steam days”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2025-10-07, and you can follow it by feed.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionProblem with this idea is moderation - Google is not going to moderate a discussion that is happening in the side bar of your site. What is love to see, and tried to make once, is something like this but just shows discussions about a URL from Hacker News/Reddit. Sites that are moderated and people have actual quality discussions (usually). I tried this a long time ago with a extension project called Seekr: http://w…
