i tried d&d during the pandemic and was taught what 'flavor text' is. a dictionary of one to many flavor texts would benefit me using this pattern because i need randomness to break through the anticipation. in fact, mapping to posix exit codes would probably be the only case i'd use - give me 1000 cute sayings for exit 0, and a dozen for 255, 1, 2, and a sensible default.

preemptively, to anyone telling me this is terrible, i'd say this is a toy and a subjective one, but that we're detailing our personal flows here, and not inventing interfaces :)
