gollark: Wait, I have a cool idea. It's really easy to read the relevant data out if the words to find are horizontal, so all I need to do is render the input to an image, rotate it sixty degrees, OCR it, scan the words again, and repeat five times!

gollark: Strings are NOT GENERALIZED and TOO TIED TO THE INPUT!
