Yeah, but it's not too hard to understand if you take the time, but some
stuff just doesn't yet make sense to me.

Hmm, not exactly sure how we can get around that, it seems that tentacle and
sam n max have different draw priorities, so I'm not really sure how we can
get around it, maybe a new define , the order the text is drawn in (samnmax
still needs the functionality of _blitAlso, it just needs it before drawBits
is called instead of after), and only define it for samnmax, I don't think
this is a problem for anywhere in the game either way seemingly.
