That's brilliant. Gave me the funny thought that GPT-3 could solve one problem we used to argue about back in the day. What's the right order for loading extensions? I don't remember the details, but I do remember my old office would discuss it endlessly. The black magic and superstitions to keep the system going as long as possible before the inevitable crash.

I spent so long looking for this game, but I couldn't even figure it what to search for, because I didn't remember the title.
