Seriously, I never look at that part, and I have no idea how long anything takes.

On the other hand, invert all those settings and you might get a victory in 10-20 years if you really focus on it

Haven't quite gotten everything down in terms of gameplay but loving it a lot. All this, I'm losing sleep, and Legends has still to come out!

Is this actually true?
Mind is truly blown if it is.

No, sorry for the mind blowing, it was a stupid joke (the concept makes me laugh) :D

Jumping into hasty conclusions is indeed stupid, I'll admit that.

But that's the sort of sneaky content you still find littered all over this game. Easy to fall for!
