That's based on a harmless Unix game that you can install forks of which on modern day Linux as well, by the way
What's the name of the game?
Probably oneko: https://www.cyberciti.biz/open-source/oneko-app-creates-cute-cat-chasing-around-your-mouse/
The original was just neko. It probably hasn't been maintained in forever though.
There is a webneko that you can embed on your website:
https://webneko.net/
It's just Linux. It chases you and your mouse throughout the fediverse, and when it catches you and you install it, it crashes your computer because the mouse drivers are written by a 12 year old with undiagnosed ADHD.
I've seen 12 year old adhd or autistic kid writing better software than most tech companies
I have had far more driver issues on windows on linux things just work lol
Does windows still reinstall drivers for some hardware when you plug them in, regardless of whether you installed them previously?
I think i have had that happen with maybe usbs but idk about anything else
there was one called neko on windows
i have a vencord extension that does that
