Quick reminder of what late.sh is: a cozy clubhouse inside your terminal. Take a break, chat with folks around the globe, listen to music, play some games, or paint on a live artboard :) ssh late.sh
Now for the new part: NetHack! How did I not know about this game before?? A few things I learned while wiring it in: It's from 1987 and still actively developed. We run the real upstream binary, built from source, not a clone or a fork. Since everyone plays on the same server, you all share bones files: when you die, the level you died on (with your ghost and your cursed loot) can show up in someone else's game. Your death becomes somebody else's problem :D Your save follows your SSH key. Quit mid-dungeon, come back next week from a different machine, keep going. The community motto is "The DevTeam Thinks of Everything." Try writing Elbereth on the floor, or eating a fortune cookie. Ascending (actually winning) is famously brutal. Do it on late.sh and you get a permanent badge on your profile. I'm fairly confident nobody will, so prove me wrong :D
