gollark: I mean, actually somewhat true, based on testing.
gollark: It looks like the issue is that it overcompensates or something, perhaps it needs to run faster.
gollark: Solution: fudge factor. This worked for a bit then failed when it somehow refused to go up.

gollark: This is hampering development of my flappy bird "AI".
