I'm guessing under or around 30?

His last onscreen appearance was in "The World Is Not Enough" in 1999. So if you were born in the mid 90s, you probably missed it.

Hack(er)spaces are reflections on the members.

Ours (Leighhack) is small in membership but moderately wide. We have textiles, fabrication (3d print & CNC), electronics, woodworking and infra/security in pretty constant flow. We're just finishing building a darkroom.

Yesterday was two members sewing (one dress, one stage props), one member restoring an old Mac and cutting on the CNC (me), one designing and printing a flower pot for a monitored garden. And that's what I know of.

We've just finished up a six week sewing course, and we're looking to courses on 3d design and printing and I believe woodturning.

Different hack(er)spaces have different priorities, dependant on the members and community it serves.

Your Pinecil is already running IronOS.

Infocom adventure games are some of the grand-daddy's of text adventures.

Zork is by far the most well known, but also pretty infamous are Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Leather Godesses' of Phobos and A Mind Forever Voyaging.

As a warm-up, I'd recommend Moonmist. It's a mystery game listed as a "Beginner" game, and is great for introducing elements of the Infocom system.

My preferred player is still Frotz. It compiles and runs on practically anything, my Psion, my Pis, Windows, everything.

We have an Emmaus in Bolton UK, as well as the above they also have a woodworking shop and garden centre and sell custom woodworking pieces.

Our stop gap sofa came from there when we moved house, and we often go for a browse.

It's lovely, and a great philosophy.
