Cast

gollark: The bruteforce tester I ran only got me speed and a bunch of particle effects. Also mining fatigue.
gollark: Also I heard that they could disintegrate you.
gollark: I had some on SC, but they seemed to unprogram themselves or randomly vanish temporarily sometimes.
gollark: I wrote a program for drone deliveries which did pathfinding. Using waypoints with preconfigured, er, adjacency.
