why

SwadicalRag commented 8 years ago

TL;DR: the user experience from functions which rely on math.random() is severely impeded without it.

For example, upon a .restart, cookie.maymays.lenny() would always return ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉), and the specific lenny face would be overused, and the meme-quality™ of the lenny function would deteriorate over time.

The cock library is also dependent upon math.random() to initialise cock data. If the seed for math.random wasn't set, everyone would likely have cocks of the same base size.

I realise that you can call math.randomseed from said functions, but setting the seed should be a standard operation, in my opinion.

I thought you were calling math.randomseed every time Lau ran, this makes actual sense though.
