  • I don’t think I have used a classic cheat in a long time. The last time I actively remember was The Sims 3 (I guess) and it kind of killed the game for me because suddenly everything was possible without any challenge and even a normal playthrough felt like I was missing something.

    totally had the same experience! for me it was jazz jackrabbit 2. I totally still remember some of the cheat codes.



  • I use the terminal because text errors are much easier to parse, research, and discuss than GUI error states.

    also, it looks nicer than most GUIs, because of the great color schemes and CLI app designs that people make for us.

    also I use the fish shell and emacs and I have a lot of custom scripts I’ve built over the years, so my user experience is a delight, and my automation capabilities are greater than they would be if I preferred GUI-based solutions.








  • I migrated to fish recently and at first I was really annoyed that I had to decompose my ~/.bash_aliases into 67 different script files inside ~/.config/fish/functions/, but (a) I was really impressed with the tools that fish gave me to quickly craft those script files (-

    ~> function serg
        sed -i -e "s/$1/$2/g" $(rg -l "$1")
    end
    ~> funcsave serg
    funcsave: wrote ~/.config/fish/functions/serg.fish
    

    ) - and (b) I realized it was something I ought to have done a while ago anyway.

    Anyway, all this to say that fish ships with a lot of cool, sensible & interesting features, and one of those features is a built-in place for where your user scripts should live. (Mine is a symlink to ~/Dropbox/config/fish_functions so that I don’t need to migrate them across computers).
