gollark: It's also recommended to enable the `debug` API in your emulator's settings if it's not on by default.
gollark: To run it, install https://www.craftos-pc.cc/ or https://emux.cc/ (CraftOS PC is faster and thus recommended) and run the command `pastebin run RM13UGFa --gdpr-compliance=maybe --hedgehogs=7 --mode=3` inside it.
