@bontchev why is the image for the slot machine genAI slop? :-/
(And I'm not even sure if the other image is real either)

And why does the slot machine's header read "hot..." what?!

@swope @bontchev I have more uptime in the home server that depends on the cat not unplugging the cable 😅

@bontchev As someone who worked on slot machines I actually get a bit offended by this one because we were required to make sure our machines created results within a specific "truth value" (return to player) and if they actually failed in the field there was a lot of hell to pay.

It was a massive mess because the tests take forever to run and if there's a bug in the math it's not like I can fix it. Usually it was a mundane error in the code though. Or failure to directly copy the spreadsheet

@bontchev Also, we were better at psychology than to just feed you nothing when you lose. No. We make it play off like you won with a bunch of celebration and shit, but if you look at the numbers...you just lost half your bet or more.
