gollark: Eventually someone manages to actually adjust the health values too.
gollark: The world would probably be rendered with OpenGL or something.
gollark: Otterly reduckulous.
gollark: If it's sandboxed webassembly it's still more likely for bugs allowing poking of at least the WASM memory area to creep in.
