it feels a bit consumerist of me to give free advertising to a mega corp but i really like programming games so here are some recommendations:
shapez 2: cozy factorio. factorio without monsters.
the farmer was replaced: you write pseudocode to control a drone to gather crops
shenzhen i/o: write pseudo asm code that generates a required output. its like a test where you have the answers and have to come up with the right question.
TIS-100: the whole premise of shenzhen is based on this game. theyre almost exactly the same. i prefer TIS-100 over shenzhen for its difficulty curve.
net.attack(): not really a coding game because you dont write code. its basically a spell builder like noita but simpler and has a more manageable learning curve

story games:
these are games that focus more on narrative than game play. they are mostly computer/hacker themed puzzle games and require only the most basic understanding of computers to enjoy.
uplink (big recommend if you are into story puzzle games):requires basic understanding of computer networking. it will teach basic cyber attack life cycles.
cyber manhunt: computer knowledge required: has seen one (1) hollywood movie that uses the word "hacker" anywhere in the script.
there are a couple other story puzzle games that look good as well but ive not played them.
i almost forgot the all time best programming game
bitburner (FREE BTW)
this one requires actual skill with javascript. you cannot play this game without learning how to write js. you can learn to write js with this game. it has a LOT of features. the game is sandboxed to keep you from doing exceptionally crazy stuff but people have managed to break the sandbox and just win the game instantly by writing into their live player session. the whole UI is in JS so you can even write you own interface. this game is awesome. i suck at it.
excuse me what

the people who hate copying the most are, once again, engaging in illegal copyright piracy. who could have seen that coming?

daily reminder that the music in the "you wouldnt steal a car" advertisement was used illegally and the rightsholder won in court after suing

problem: you need to run invoke-webrequest on a windows 11 computer and you need to force it to use ipv4 instead of ipv6
there is no direct solution to this. iwr is unable to force ipv4. there is no flag. microsoft is you dad and daddy says you dont need that.

possible indirect solution: use curl -4 [endpoint] instead, as curl was not written by retards and supports forcing v4 natively
new problem: curl is an alias of iwr
solution 1: explicitly call curl.exe
solution 2: just beat microsoft employees with hammers until the gene pool has been purified and the issue will sort itself out when new devs arent retards

it is my policy when referring to tragic events caused by a specific person or group to not name that person or group so as not to give undue credit or attention.
i think this is an important thing to notice when i regularly name Luigi Mangione and do not name the fraudster who he is alleged to have killed.

>need to install driver/bios updates on client computer (dell)
>dell command update wont start
>uninstall it, download the installer direct from dell
>run installer
>av detects multiple malware files. not heuristic detection, it was hash based
>installer fails
its so cool that massive international companies are just straight up dumping sewage into your computer by using their first party update applications to deliver malware directly onto sensitive business computers
