I just opened Docker on purpose so the weekend is already going downhill

ME: that's enough computers for one day
ME:
ME:
ME:
ME: what if I ran Adventure inside a container

ME: ooo I found a source repo
ME: ported by ESR
ME:
ME: u n f o r t u n a t e

guess we're going back to the 70s in more ways than one eyyyyy

DOCKER: what's pkg-config
ME: *installs*
DOCKER: what's make
ME: *installs*
DOCKER: what's cc
ME: oh, we're going to _hell_ tonight my friend

I'm in

here's my tar command, have fun kids

wget -c http://www.catb.org/~esr/open-adventure/advent-1.8.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz

I've never played Adventure but I got leftover box mac n cheese and no life, so why not

ME: *playing Adventure*
ME: *leans in close to the monitor*
ME:
ME:
ME: Dennis

oh hell yeah

eeeeeeeeeee

I appreciate the restraint people are showing by not giving me spoilers

GAME: wow ur taking so many turns
ME: *eyes gdb*
ME: patience, padawan

GAME: you are wandering aimlessly through the forest
ME: I'm gonna dump your strings you son of a bitch

I tried to attach with another terminal to run strings and it kicked me out of the game without saving womp womp

using strings to find all the action words because seriously now

ok I found the main text file

I want YOU to know that I am not going to use it

yet

or the hints file

even though

it's right there

hmmm what tools would have been available in the 70s?

I wouldn't feel bad using something players had back then

Adventure status: I got past the snake, found a hare leg(?) and an urn, pirate stole my gold, there's a shadowy figure trying to get my attention, and so far I can kiss NOTHING

I want to kiss the shadowy figure, gimme a ghost boyfriend

star-crossed lovers

btw I thought there was a clever way to deal with the dwarves but no you just throw the axe and kill them

I also tried to pet the bird and snake

I dislike the "wander aimlessly" areas because they seem to be all chance

I would like to grid them out and make sure I find everything

I can get the gold out of the cave but I can't communicate across this pit, just like in real life

game won't let me eat the Leporine appendage, rude

GAME: here's a Leporine appendage, ooOOOooooOOOoo
ME: eat it
GAME: what
ME: eat it to go fast
GAME: ew no what the fuck

no escape

finally trained twitter not to spoil me, only to be spoiled by my mom

reconnaissance

GAME: FEE FIE FOE FOO
ME: FEE FIE FOE FOO
GAME: 1 or 2 words
ME: FEE FIE
GAME: What's the matter, can't you read? Now you'd best start over.
ME: *goes to first location*
ME: FEE FIE
GAME: Well, that was remarkably pointless.
ME:
