I'm going to guess it's a parody but that's the first thing I thought of too. If I were to be the one making the joke I'd have this screen pop up when you try to use sudo.
Ah yes, that looks like it. Also great opportunity to mention my favourite TUI library TVision
I really hate that in games where they give you a choice but one of the choices just has the character you're talking to say "no, not that one" and makes you "choose" again.
Can I just have a game where at the beginning where they tell me I am the chosen savior of the world and if I accept the quest let me say "no" and then just roll credits? (I feel like this was a thing and I even played it but I can't remember what it was lol)
Golden Sun (RPG on the GBA) allows that, so does one of the Paper Mario games (Super Paper Mario maybe?).
It was Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door.

The shadow queen asks you to join her at the very end. If you say yes, you get a Game Over screen.
