We got a lot of questions at MDev concerning the flying sheep and if they were supposed to be like that
And the answer is yes. They are an integral part of this story and the player's journey, that's why they're everywhere 🐑

Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

Hey friends. Many of you know that every year, I help raise money to ensure that kids get the medical care they need regardless of their ability to pay.
With all the funding cuts, it's even more important that do my best to try to raise as much as possible.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Let's see how true this is....
1. Go to ‘Refine your recommendations’ and remove everything related to ‘generative AI interests’.
(As if anyone who visits the site for reliable references would be interested in that...)
