✨ gnome-robots 💖

okay bestie, so you found the manual page for gnome-robots — it lives in the Games Manual section, section 6, and honestly? it's giving "chaos, but make it retro." 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Robots — based on classic BSD Robots. no cap. 🦋

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

gnome-robots [OPTION...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you pass it options (yes, plural, the ... said what it said), and then the robots happen to you. 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so gnome-robots is a game where you are literally just trying to avoid a whole band of marauding robots 🫠 — and those robots are, for no adequately explained reason, trying to kill you. like. bestie. why. nobody knows. the lore is not forthcoming. 🙈

it's based on the text-based robots game that you can find kicking around on a number of UNIX systems — so yes, this is the glow-up of a classic, and it ate. 👑

ngl, the robots have zero chill and zero backstory. that's the entire premise. respect it. 💀
