Updates on the Verity slack bot!! (and before shipping)

Now Verity has 6 slash commands in total! Namely:

• /verity-help - Lists out available commands for Verity =)
• /verity-ping - Checks bot latency/verity-funfact - Gives a random fact that may or may not be fun
• /verity-8ball [add your question here] - Play a game of magic 8 ball with Verity =)
• /verity-jukebox [song name] by [artist] - Recommends a song based on your input curated by yours truly
• /verity-joke [canon] - Tells you a random joke (optionally add ‘canon’ if you want a canon response.)

Additionally, you can ask him any sort of question by pinging him like so: @/Verity how fast are minecarts? (without the slash, i don’t want to ping the person named verity 😭)

I initally wanted to use Spotify’s API for the music recommender, but it was locked behind a paywall </3 Luckily, last.fm’s API was not and it was super easy to use and I figured out how to use it in no time! (lie #3)

Also, I think I’ve finally figured out what the problem was last devlog (lie #4). I think I just forgot to install something on the server??? But no matter, now the bot can run till the end of time :D

I think this was an awesome experience, I’ve gotten used to calling APIs and I finally learned how to use .env files (yea I didn’t know their use before, oof…)
