gollark: They do have other non-coronavirus stuff to compute too, don't they?
gollark: FTL: Faster than Light, a spaaaaaace roguelike thing, has players able to do all kinds of cool tricks because of interesting interactions between things, but the AI is dumb and can't do those. It can't even do prioritization right.
