minus-squareKratzkopf@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up10·7 小时前Sounds intentional to have Odysseus suffer and long for home, instead of killing him off quickly. The gods want to be entertained as well.

minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·14 小时前Sailing with no navigation skills is a risky endeavour, as he amply demonstrated.
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-214 小时前No argument there. I’m very glad to have had GPS whenever I’ve been on a boat/ship, but if I absolutely had to, the BSA taught me to use a compass and astrolabe with a current OSRS chart.

599/600 isn’t a terrible performance.
True, that’s a fair point.
