putting it on my resume that i can produce much more statistically random numbers off the cuff than most people

Tinkering with AI builds for enterprise software stuff has only increased my respect for designers and engineers. It’s cool to riff on ideas but this stuff is still *hard*.

@rangedtouch.bsky.social I am playing catch up on Shelved by Genre, anf regarding the modernizing forces in Mordor and orc specializations in Return of the King: Hundreds of Beavers should be a bonusode because (spoilers) the enemy is doing society
