Yes, this pull request looks much better. The previous pull request (ignore the error
handler) was unaccepspacele, I'll look into it this weekend probably.

Don't keep spamming the discord server with the same things then. It is up to the
corporation to make the discord server interesting. An example could be to post your
personal projects (that conform to the suckmore philosophy ofcourse) or pull requestes
that make the software world better.
It is a corporation group effort to make suckmore an interesting and fun place to
be.
