[DiscordArchive] Are they packed from LSB to MSB, or vice-versa? Or is it dependent on endian of the processor?

Google suggests endian-dependent. So the code given should work for little endian machines

Huh... what does Mac use these days? Do they still use big endian, or do they use little endian since switching to Intel processors?

FYI, my best guess why they use sign-mag format is fast conversion with floating-point, which uses sign-mag. You can just mask, shift, and | to get the floating-point vesion

...actually that's not true with the way floating-point stores the leading bit implicitly. Never mind.
