I must admit I tried Zork I, II and maybe III and could never get anywhere. Always felt like I was missing the exact thesaurus they used for verbs and nouns (ie is this the same action on the same object or a new action). Still text based interactive fiction has grown into such a cool genre now.
Open sourced Zork today opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11... and ran it on a swarm of containers in the cloud 😂
Preserving code that shaped generations: Zork I, II, and III go Open Source
Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office (OSPO), Team Xbox, and Activision are making Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III available under the MIT License.

This latest change is github.com/rust-lang/ru... and includes some explanation.

From O: Many parenting books and articles advise “It takes a village” and “Don’t be afraid to ask for help.” The problem is, @olgakhazan.bsky.social writes, “I didn’t have a village,” and many other moms don’t either: www.theatlantic.com/family/2025/...

yo this really works to just fix it (wait for the direct comment link to load) thanks @ellie.wtf for atuin, and this commenter for making it just do reverse search and not mess with my 25+ years of hitting up then left.
I've visited that a few times but now there's new comments! I think a variation on this might be a winner for the muscle memory constrained:

There used to be a bunch of jokes in the truly tasteless joke book(s) about rearranging the furniture in a blind person's room. But macos tahoe moving the music controls to the bottom and the volume/brightness to the upper right _25 years in_ is truly tasteless.
