    This just further confirms that the world simulation actually did break from the y2k bug. We fixed the bug in here, but no one fixed the simulation. The cascade failure has just been spreading out of control since then. Now we have recursion errors! The sim tried to restart but it’s all corrupt lol.

      I think the root problem lies in some of the really gnarly, pre-1.0 code that we are afraid to touch because it might break something, that’s why it keeps cropping up even though we keep slapping patches pell-mell on top of it. It just happened to pop out pretty bad in 03.
