gollark: PotatOS is already programmed in Lua. I just wanted to add some kind of machine code interpreter and misuse it for some programs.

gollark: You don't need a full time machine. You can just use a closed timelike curve for intertemporal information transfer like osmarks.tk has.
gollark: I am fourteen years in age and this has great depth.
