## About The Pull Request
A re-open of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/66326 with
Fikou's permission
Adds the style meter, it can be bought from the mining vendor for 1500
points, it is an attachment to your glasses.
The style meter creates a display on your hud, with your recent actions,
like attacking enemies, killing them, mining ore etc. Actions like
spinning or flipping increase your score multiplier, making you get more
points.
Your style meter affects how much ore you get from mining rocks. By
default with the meter, you get 20% less ore, but at the highest, you
can get 1.2x the ore from mining. In addition, on B-tier or above, you
can "hotswap" items, by attacking an item in your backpack with one in
your hand (should it fit and all that). Also features a leaderboard for
highest style point count!

The following are sources of points:
- Killing things
- Killing big things
- Killing small things
- Punching things
- Melee'ing things
- Mining rocks and ores
- Having matrix traps detonate
- Hit, defuse, and detonate gibtonite
- Detonate crusher marks
- Scan geysers
- Parry projectiles (others or your own)
Oh, right. While wearing the style meter, you're able to parry any
lavaland-based projectile by clicking on it or the tile it is on, which
reflects it back in a 7 degree arc, making it 20% faster and 15% more
damaging. Usually not very easy.
Maybe-plan in the future for some syndicate variant of this (with bullet
parrying and appropriate style sources, etc.), but not for this PR
Thanks to Arcane, multitooling the style meter will make it play some
sounds on rank-up.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes miners bring more ore in a fun way.
## Changelog
🆑 Fikou, Zonespace, Arcane for voicing

style points and uses them to improve your ore yield.

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
