    You know? I’ve never had the good fortune to be familiar with the series and it’s on my wishlist now for later. It IS more modern than my usual tastes, but heaven forbid I play something new and find out I like it. Seems like there’s spoilers in the third for the second one, though…

    That said, my favorite part of this photo is they actually tried to do the math. If time = distance ÷ speed, the earth has a circumference of 24,901 miles, and the fastest snail’s top speed is 0.03mph, they would encircle the earth in 830,033 hours. So I suspect this snail cheated and hitched a ride at some point, likely near the end when it got tired, but did most of it on foot

      I’d call them call backs rather than spoilers (in spite of playing 3 before 2) but yeah, there are some. Luckily my ADHD will help me forget most if not all of them by the time I finish 3 and start 2 😄

      Nicely spotted! I had just assumed that they arrived at 800,000 only because it’s 10,000 times 80, but you may well be right too!
