chewing every ear off in the function
- Added "THREAT HIGHLIGHT" setting under GAME menu - adds a yellow sheen to all THREATS & THREAT bullets to assist with colorblindness
- Blocked off entire back dropship wall because MIYA-H5 can't behave herself... Where did she run off to, anyway?
- Increased font size and disabled text glitch effect for dropdown menus to enhance readability
- Potential fix for SPRINGS sometimes not setting their position correctly on level load
- Potential THREAT & THREAT bullet shader compilation stutter improvements
- The game is now marked as Steam Deck "Playable", with the only thing holding back a full "Verified" rating being a few instances of small text. These may or may not be fixed in the future!
