Notes

gollark: Please don't. Generally you do not actually *need* to check something every tick, CC has events for a reason.
gollark: But if it's running a specific hardcoded program off the disk, it would be more user-friendly to just... add that fallback program in place of the "recovery disk" code, maybe with a prompt.
gollark: I don't really understand the point of loading a program from the disk, when it's only going to run a specific hardcoded program, honestl.y
gollark: Well, post the code and whatever issue you have, then.
gollark: I mean, you could do that, but why?
