gollark: No idea.
gollark: The session here only stores `authed`, so I figure that I won't hit size limits.
gollark: `express-session` stores a session *ID* signed on the client and the actual data on the server.
gollark: The difference is that `cookie-session` stores session data on the client (signed, obviously).
