gollark: Out of how many?
gollark: We're allowed to break the fourth wall a *bit* as participants, but not too often.
gollark: It's meant to be more of a mystery or something because of the limited information.
gollark: I mean, the show actually just focuses on our text conversations with you via Discord.
gollark: It's only used because it supports animations, poorly, and was before other formats like APNG in doing so and thus more supported.
