What it does
A free free browser game about the one habit that actually builds wealth: sticking to your plan. Travel from your first paycheck to your goal, one decision at a time, and try not to chase the hot tip. I'm a marketer, not an engineer, so I built it with AI in a weeke browser game. Travel from your first paycheck to the finish line. You win by sticking to your plan, not by getting rich.
A free browser game. Travel from your first paycheck to the finish line. You win by sticking to your plan, not by getting rich.
Travel from your first real paycheck to the finish line, one decision at a time. The twist: you do not win by getting rich. You win by writing a plan and holding to it when the trail turns hard. A relative at Thanksgiving with a chart that only goes up. It is already up 10% since you sat down. The raise you somehow never feel, because the truck has a payment now. Five weeks that make your account look like a typo, and every instinct screaming to sell. Everyone around you getting rich quick. Holding your route feels like the dumbest plan on the trail. Your rank is set by how intact your plan is at the end, not by how much money you made. Get the occasional note on planning, written like a…from longtrailgame.com

https://www.moneyga.me The goal in this game is to make as much virtual money as possible. Features include working pleb jobs, operating various forms of businesses, trading items, currencies and stocks on The Exchange and so on. I have posted this on HN before, but it has been a couple of years now and some things have changed in the game. Most notably the addition of NPC buyers and NPC workers, which make the economy much more alive. Thank you for your attention and good weekend everybody!

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
