I'm trying to imagine the user that both needs a text editor in the command line, yet is uncomfortable outside a gui.
I write scripts all day, but closing a program without clicking the little 'x' is scary and weird.
Capitalists are so fucking innovative that they're trying to replace unpaid human labor with robots that are worse and cost money.

I'm just starting "blasphemous" and "inscription". I just completed "Axiom Verge".
