    I’m in the same boat with a lot of these tools, but bat is different in that it’s compatible enough to be safe to alias to the command it's replacing[1]. You can continue to use ca…

    Outside of holidays and special events, they do indeed choose randomly from a dialogue bank. There’s actually multiple dialogue banks, one for each villager personality type.
