gollark: Also it's at least 1000 lines.
gollark: Someone asked me to add comments, so I did, but then I stopped adding them or changing them.
gollark: The best thing about it is that it's actually spread across about 10 files on different hosting services via a tangled crazy dependency tree and the comments are mostly outdated.
