gollark: Wait, not 50, 20.

gollark: Range is deprecated because Ale32bit and is now capped at 50. Use cuboids.

gollark: Anyway, the cuboid thing means that you can, for example, set up a beacon to only broadcast in a specific shop at Wolf Mall, instead of a sphere, which is annoying.

gollark: <@184468521042968577> 3d6 also means 3 6-sided dice.

gollark: ARC now supports defining a cuboidal region in which messages may be displayed, with a volume cap of 32768.
