Maybe give RimWorld a try.
I took three approaches for me over a span of two years to really get into emacs. It was pretty tough (a time before google was a thing).
Now iam spoiled - I recently tried vscode a bit and really was baffled because it seems there is no kill ring like the one in emacs that makes it basically impossible to lose any edits.

Doesn’t it have unlimited undo? Savages! (I have never in my life used vscode, hope it shows).

Try RimWorld only if you're sure it won't nerd-snipe you.

RimWorld, also known as War Crime Simulator.

One needn't use Emacs to play Nethack, one of the original roguelikes: https://nethack.org/

Me: let's watch the animation to see this in action ...
sees: "an uncursed food ration"
This is wild; I gotta start playing text based games.

Nethack is one of the wildest. So many hardcoded edge cases and wild interactions.
From the wiki: "Food rations have a 1/7 chance of being rotten when eaten if they are uncursed and older than 30 turns, or else are blessed and older than 50 turns, while cursed food rations are always rotten. Food rations can be thrown to tame domestic canines and felines and pacify domestic equines. "

That fancy `touch` script would literally be a two-line `Makefile`.

then you get into makefile escape hell (similar to yaml hell)

There is a non-zero time duration for updating, I don't see how you would accomplish that.
Emacs users have all the fun. And just like eve online or dwarf fortress, I can't seem to get fully into them myself, but I love reading stories about it.
