Match rules[5]

gollark: It's irritating that there's not room in my neural interface for a block scanner.
gollark: My thing just tries to slow you down all the time if you're going downward fast. Which mostly works with hover boots.
gollark: My flight script used to detect the ground, but it was far too slow.
gollark: Collision avoidance? How does that work?
gollark: Another fun idea: advertising in potatOS, but you have to buy advertising slots using a complicated auction thing as Google's Adwords thing does.
