I don't know, but the studies are in reputable journals, so I'd trust the scientists to exclude that sort of obvious confounder. The associations seem to be ADHD, Autism, Asthma, and impaired sexual development.

There *have* been studies which have found weird effects from paracetamol. Aside from ones which have found links to autism and ADHD in heavy use, some have suggested hypogonadism. But the studies don't agree with each other. That said, if there is an effect, some people are likely to be more prone.

cont.. Having multiple hosts helps us to account for this and give ourselves more time to do a game justice, whilst still having a good cadence of releases that lets us keep the audience interested (and things exciting for ourselves).

cont... Also it's worth pointing out that sometimes I'll just get stuck, or get to 90% of the way through the game and discover that I've borked it somehow. If I'm staring down the barrel of a deadline, then I'll wrap it up there (unless I *really* like the game, in which case I can finish after).

When doing RA, sometimes I have ages, in which case I can do a pure playthrough. I might have to resort to clues. Occasionally we're recording a few eps, so there's greater pressure to use clues, and I will. Main thing is to still understand a game, just following a solution doesn't allow for that.

@jasoncompton.bsky.social can we add this one to the list?

It was a great game! Lots of good memories.

@jasoncompton.bsky.social and onto the list she sails!

@judgedrokk.bsky.social do we have this unique and valuable cultural treaure properly preserved?

Oh and @jasoncompton.bsky.social, I'm sure you'll be delighted to notice that the adventure boasts 220 rooms!

I'm not going to repeat the old joke about machine code as a lovemaking style. Arcade games written in assembler: Good. Text adventures: Doubtful. I guess we'll find out!

And just for you, @tuftymctavish.com, I am sponsoring this game as a future feature on The Retro Adventurers! I wasn't aware of it. The authors seemed to make a lot out of the fact that it was written in machine code (yikes) and was "text compressed".

Imagine the AI generates a good brief on a topic. One idea I have is to ask the AI to elaborate on the information in a particular way. *Once I have done that*, it will be less able to produce something else. So I need to duplicate the conversation beforehand, and have two different conversations.

This one's lost, isn't it? The puns write themselves. You're a shakespearian, Jason. "Love's labour's lost?"

Hahaha! I'm the one drinking the LLM Kool-Aid, man!
