Pier-Luc Brault Releases 'You're the OS' Game With 10-Ragequit Reset Rule

Summary
Pier-Luc Brault has released You're the OS, a management game that casts players as an operating system juggling processes, CPU cores and RAM under mounting user pressure.
Multiple CPU cores let players shuffle tasks in and out of allocation slots, but neglected processes sour from happy to despair before frustrated users kill them.
10 ragequits trigger a full reset and game over, while added complications include idle tasks wasting cycles, high-priority jobs demanding immediate attention and memory-hungry apps forcing disk swapping.
The game turns familiar computer slowdowns into a fast, stressful systems-management loop, mirroring real-world overload from running heavy software and dozens of browser tabs at once.
