Wow! I’ve been thinking about making something like this and I’ve even poked at a few “hacker/terminal/code” themed games. However, every time I get serious about giving this type of game my time, I think to myself, “I could just be programming and hacking something more useful than this, and I could just look at that experience as ‘the game’ rather than programming and hacking on something less valuable (the game, in this case).”

This train of thought has me working on an FPS built on Bevy. I’m hacking, learning, and convincing myself that this is the hacker game experience I wanted. Heck—I might even come out of this with something tangible that could generate money one day. At the very least, I’ve up-skilled my programming knowledge. 🤷‍♂️

That probably sounds uber boring and having said all this, I think I’ll still have to give this game a go!

    So, basically, “we started learning Git and accidentally blew away the only copy of the code base we had!” 😂

    I’ve watched new developers delete 2 weeks worth of development by misunderstanding Git🤦‍♂️

    Alright stranger, let’s hear it. What is it about Fish that you love so much?

    I’ve been generally happy with bash or zsh, pretty much whatever is installed by default (and I honestly don’t know the difference between the two I just mentioned 😬).

    That’s fair. The replies here have opened my narrow thoughts that I’ve had on everyone solely using UTC.

    In my defense, when discussing this with others in person, I’ve only ever been given garbage reasons to have time zones…

    Now …can we all agree to hate Daylight Saving Time?

    This sounds wonderful. I played Windows games on Linux for a decade, and it was often a painful experience. I’d love to see some real life in-game comparisons to illustrate what this brings to the table!

    Yes. Many people already work shifts that have them do exactly that (show up to work on Monday, go home on Tuesday).

    My first job had me work all sorts of shifts. Anything other than the day shift, I was showing up early or late evening one day, and leaving work early or late morning the next day.
