You're right, it's a joke. I was chatting to a colleague about how long his installs took to run and I thought having a game where you shoot all the packages that are installing would poke fun at the fact that you're probably installing way too many packages. I agree, fixing the problem would have been better, though probably harder and definitely less enjoyable.

This is awesome. Thanks!
