Definitely the coolest thing I did today was porting Overgrowth to NetBSD!
Somehow I didn't catch the announcement from Wolfire Games the moment it happened (I'm even in their Discord server) but when I learned about it this morning, I *knew* I had to do it. I figured it was *doable* at the very least, because the game is already for Mac-Windows-Linux, and it doesn't have any strange or exotic dependencies. And Wolfire had already set a precedent with releasing Lugaru as open source, so I kinda-sorta knew what to expect.
The end result is fairly hacky -- lots and LOTS of #ifdefs -- but it does work and I am able to do some nontrivial things in-game. It's a bit unstable at runtime, though -- not sure if it's because of the code, or my hacks, or the fact my NetBSD/amd64 machine is not the newest machine ever.
Looking forward to getting my efforts upstreamed!
