I’m a btop user how is it gamified? If by “gamified” thy mean “looks like something you would see in a video game (or movie)” then yeah tha tracks but that’s not what “gamified” typically means…

This makes me want to see an actually gamified process monitor. Maybe it's a game where you gain points by reducing resource consumption
Here it is! Using the classic doom https://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/doom/
There was that version of `kill` that you interfaced with by playing Doom...
It’s not a process monitor, really, but to me the AWS Lightsail monitor tab feels like this. The “sustainable” line hits me right in the OCD to keep me grinding on cpu usage of the workload to keep extra spend at zero.
haha, triple simultaneous posts.... but that doom kill game isn't really the same as gamifying resource management. I would really want to see a gamified process monitor as well.
I was expecting to see achievements, gambling and speculative markets for loot boxes.
I was also incredibly confused how one would gamify a process monitor. Anyone remember psdoom?

This is not that, but… honestly I don't think I want a game-menu-UIfied top either. Most games' UI is barely tolerable…

(Ed.: looks like it's just poor titling in the HN submission)
