gollark: Is this secretly a roguelike?
gollark: No, 40ish minutes ago.
gollark: I was just using FTS incorrectly.
gollark: Excitingly, I "have" "fixed" the bug in Minoteaur where the search thing complained about a corrupted database.
gollark: Bad news. Due to my parents taking me to a thing, I've been forced to go outside. If I don't come back, please install PotatOS on all your devices to provide more distributed computing power to instantiate my backup mindstate vector.
