      Got the rest of the dice in there except for d10, which has no geometry class. It'll be a lil hacky for now; I'll probably export a gltf from Blender later.
      
      I rather get some animation, effects, and shaders going first. ✨

      A good cautionary tale for when someone claims that trusting data analysis done with an LLM is good because it’s “objective.”
      
      In this example, Copilot apparently decided to ignore the data it was given and just run with all the subconscious biases its (human-made) training data inevitably gave it.

      "Based on the dataset you shared, US and UK responses differ mainly in tone, intensity, and wording style, even though they express similar emotional states"

      incredibly funny when games will have very specific mechanics (hunting, fishing) alongside regular combat tools like tomb raider keeps throwing you in animal pits and hoping you’ll forget you have an assault rifle on dpad right
