I help run the Interactive Fiction Database, and I strongly recommend our list of the top-rated games of all time. They’re all fantastic. https://ifdb.org/search?browse

I think this might be another sign of a slowing economy or high inflation.
false.not is borderline but if read as false.negate it makes sense (negating is an action that applies to a Boolean value). That wording screws the chaining though.
5.times is where the pattern breaks: times is not an action that applies to a number (nor an action at all). It’s the block the one that should repeat/iterate - but Ruby breaks the rule there and blocks are not an object (!). If they were you could block.repeat(5) which IMO is cleaner.

Again, not trying to be a jerk here, just trying to help out however I can. My bad if this is not the place.
Best of luck in the struggle!
I probably picked the idea up here, but don't know from whom so I thought I ought to continue sharing it
