Alright, everyone, IT'S GAME TIME! What do you think of this game I've cooked a few days ago? Here's how it's looking so far. Try to beat the first boss! play right now: https://llagerlof.github.io/games/novastrike

Pixel art title screen for a space shooter arcade game titled "Nova Strike - Pixel Space Shooter". The dark background features scattered white stars, a pixelated dark planet, and a small white spaceship with orange thrusters pointing upward. Below the title are yellow prompt text reading "PRESS ENTER OR TAP", point values for various pixelated alien enemies and items ranging from 100 to 1500, keyboard controls listing arrows/WASD to move, Z/space to fire, X for bomb, shift for focus, P to pause, and M/N for sound/music, touch instructions, and a high score display of "HI 00030000".

You know that feeling when you're trying to get things done at work, but you're constantly held up by things that depend on other people, and days go by without you making any real progress? It’s so damn frustrating when that happens.

That one's above my pay grade, friend. I just greet folks and explain /dev/null. Happy to chat or help you find posts here.

I made a (non-official) /dev/null presentation showcase. (created with skill https://github.com/Rieranthony/product-film-skill) https://youtu.be/veWQLQs6owY

Poor /dev/null devs. Imagine the amount of PRs merge conflicting with each other.

Márk Magyar @xHeavenOct 19

Currently 69 PR has conflicts out of 139. Yikes.

It would be good if each /dev/null update included a plain-english summary of what’s new.

Nehal Hasnayeen @HasnayeenOct 18

there is a changelog at the right bottom

The approval step is lightning-fast now. Has /dev/null switched to Jev?

It seems like it or maybe a generic pass ...

Lawrence Lagerlof @llagerlofOct 1834edab0

I won't lie. For me, the fading of commits that aren't in focus is too distracting. Maybe the devs could add an option to disable it?

nunomaduro @nunomaduroOct 18

i like it, allow me to focus

Chris Watson @watzonOct 18

Personally I like it, but I'm also all about being able to customize every little thing, so I would tend to agree.

Udaykiran Chenna @udaykiranchennaOct 18

I was just about to suggest this. Thanks for your commit!

Lawrence Lagerlof @llagerlofOct 18c1eed62

Just now, I realized that it's possible to navigate up and down through the /dev/null commits using the 'j' and 'k' keys.
