Just wanted to say if you haven't watched this yet then you've gotta, it's on youtube and it's golden.
There's too many great lines for me to quote from the show but one which comes to mind is the power of love is bullshit. The power of swords and violence, that’s where it’s at.

Summer down under is a yearly tradition you get used to.
The weather becomes 38 degrees, bugs come out everywhere and best of all it's spider season!
Spiders of all shapes and sizes come out of the dirt and wood work to say hello!
As a kid I was scared as hell of them but that kind of behavior doesn't last long when you're in the country famous for it's spider population, all it takes is a good thong to kill most of them.
And for the huntsmen or spiders with egg sacs on their back? Just spray em, they aren't worth the trouble getting close.
Especially the ones with egg sacs.

I hate past me today, past me had the genius idea to write a ui function that would handle every ui interaction mid-combat by itself, so I would never need to use a different function again!
Unfortunately past me didn't consider the concept of making it scalable enough to be used in any possible scenario if the situation, you know, in case I would want to use the function in every ui interaction mid-combat.
Because of that now I'm stuck in a wall where I need to parse important data into another function but I don't have a way to effeciently do it.
I could add an "extra_data" variable to my function, but unfortunately that already exists and the idea of making "extra_data2" is painful to think about since it's simutaniously admitting to my code spaghetti and refusing to make a scalable fix to it.
I wish past me had the fore-sight to prevent this issue, but now I'm stuck to clean up their mess.

I think the comment I left at the top of the file in question says everything I want to express.
