# Game Review
## Endless Sky
Endless Sky is an open-source top-down open-world space trading and combat game, inspired by Escape Velocity (I never played Escape Velocity however). I started playing it around 2022, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Here are some reasons why:
Each faction in Endless Sky is distinct from the others, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a faction that is similiar to another one. Each faction is well fleshed out, and has a rich history.
Many games use video cutscenes, but Endless Sky uses text to convey its story, with the occasional images. Endless Sky's excellent writing immerses you into the world, with plenty of tidbits about the cultures of its universe thrown in, allowing one to imagine extra details.
Endless Sky doesn't restrict you to a single gameplay style. Each ship has limited outfit space, so you have to choose your outfits wisely. You can play using a single ship, or build giant death fleets that lay waste to your enemies.

# Great Software
execline is a non-interactive scripting language that uses chain loading, where one program executes another program after ending. Since scripting glues programs instead of creating them, execlineb lacks functions.
Password Store, or pass, is a password manager that stores your passwords locally at ~/.password-store, and optionally uses git for reversing accidents. Core utilities easily manipulate passwords stored using pass.
AWK is a programming language for processing text files. AWK Scripts are easy and quick to write.
Vis is a modal text editor; think of it as if you are giving commands to edit text files. Macros repeat commands again and again.
mitmproxy is a proxy that displays connections sent through it. It is useful for checking software for spyware.
