There is a version of Doom, where you can shoot at random files on your disk.

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 days ago

Now that is doom.

I Made Linux But When it Installs it Deletes System 32 Files.

Heck, it deletes C:/ !

(Because it gets replaced with /)

I remember once someone made DOOM but every time you killed an enemy it would kill -9 a random process.

[-] pticrix@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

isn't that the premise of ReBoot?

Did you see the epic YouTube documentary series about it last year?

Edit: Here's the link

The saddest part for me is that he didn't even break the computer that bad, but declared it unusable. Just hit Super+R, you can run anything from there.

[-] Kratzkopf@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 14 hours ago

Also all that is broken is software. It should be easy to install a fresh OS and the computer wouod be ready to go.

[-] kiszkot@feddit.nu 14 points 3 days ago

Noticed the same problem, however, Super + R is an Explorer shortcut. If it's not running it should not work. Ctrl + Art + Del should still work as it's read by the Winlogon process but from there you can ran run task manager which he deleted. Cmd.exe is still available and there are ways to boot into the OS with it's window starting automatically. Definetly would have loved to see CSRSS.exe or ntoskrnl.exe get deleted or any other core component.

[-] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

Yea, found a friend with a Windows machine to test it out, it's indeed an Explorer shortcut. I wonder if there is a way to get to some sort of shell without Explorer or Task Manager.

Code Bullet is great. I love his crazy AI stuff. He's been doing it since before LLMs became popular. The dudes super smart, you can rest assured he knows what a vm is. It was way more entertaining watching this on bare metal.

I've noticed he's shied away a bit from machine learning in recent times and just does wacky shit like this.

I wrote a bitmap rotating function in the early 90s and whenever pixels rotated off the top of the screen my BIOS would reset.

I was delighted when we could afford a decent 2d graphics library.

How many things can I make the snake eat before I get a blue screen? 🤔

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Link to download this game?

[-] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

this is what VMs are for ^* why waste

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

He had some issues with installing windows in a VM and just decided to sacrifice an old laptop.

[-] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

lol in the name of science ^^ I get it but the little conscious angel on the left shoulder winced

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I mean reinstalling an OS is really not that hard
