Who is writing the tests?

by Marazan 9mo ago
Yes, but compilers (in the main), do not have a random number generator to decide what output to produce.

This seems like a glib one liner but I do think it is profoundly insightful as to how some people approach thinking about LLMs. It is almost like there is hardwiring in our brains that makes us instinctively correlate language generation wi

Harvest Moon defines the "Turning round a dilapidated farm in a small village where you give everyone gifts all the time" genre. It all comes from there. EDIT: Stardew Valley has so many QoL improvements over harvest moon though.

Stardew Valley is HarvestMoon++ It is a lovely, very enjoyable game but it is _incredibly_ derivative.

Yeah, there are a bunch of caveats about monofur and ligatures is one of them. For me I don't care for ligatures so it doesn't affect me but would obviously be a show stopper for others.

monofur - my monospaced programming font of choice for decades now has an almost psychotic dedication to glyph disambiguation, every character is exceedingly distinct.

Grandia II battle system also breaks when you get Teo. An area effect Critical? Basically allows you to completely control every battle even if you haven't invested in a board wiping Uber character.

Grandia is a beautiful game. Both visually and from a story telling perspective. A simple, sweet coming of age tale told without cynicism. Justin, Sue and Feena feel like old friends.

by Marazan 11mo ago
It is deeply offensive to the serious players of the game to suggest Mornington Crescent is "made up". Yes, to neophytes it can seem random and unstructured but it is preposterous to suggest game with such a lineage is fictional.
