Added option to change your mind when selecting cards on blackjack if you don’t want to play blackjack anyways.
Added new cheats: Fill bank account (which gives a 40.000 pound increase) and Fill investments (which gives 50.000 pound worth of every investment)

Advancing time in the dungeon after being mind-broken now works as intended.
Accepting toys from the dungeon master now works as intended.
Added option to unplug yourself in the dungeon after being broken.
Using the bug squasher will now look a little different. Instead of needing to refresh the screen to apply a new variable or squash a new bug, you can do it over and over. There will be “Applied!” text popping up on click. This has nothing to do with how many times you can apply a bug fix, but merely a visual aid to you, so you know something has been applied. Again, do NOT use this feature if you don’t know what you are doing, IT MAY BREAK YOUR GAME! Only use in consult with Nota Bao or Taulion, unless you’re absolutely sure what you’re doing.
If you’re wearing a plug while caught by the dungeon master, new flavortext will appear on initial catch and when/if you escape.
