gollark: `.` increases timewarp speed, `,` decreases it, IIRC.
gollark: `tracks_played` is just the total number of tracks played since it started up, and `track.last_played` stores what `tracks_played` was when the track in question was lat played.
gollark: The winter solstice is waaay better, I agree.
gollark: ```lualocal function get_weight(track) if track.last_played then local tracks_ago_played = tracks_played - track.last_played return math.min(400, math.pow(tracks_ago_played, 2)) else return 400 endend```
gollark: I don't actually have support programmed in there for dropping the quality, but I think all you'd need to do is drop the sample rate when converting to WAV then write in a lower playback speed accordingly.
