I'm mean, sure - it looks a long way if go the south-east route. But there's a short-cut if you go northwest - Iceland, Greenland, New Zealand, bosch.

Is this a reference to that post about shipping mines to IKEA?

Now you're thinking with portals!

In case this wasn't sarcastic, the map doesn't wrap North to South like in Asteroids, it only wraps East to West, like Pac-Man.

What happens if you go due Norf then?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

In case of the most common map, Mercator projection, if you go exactly due Norf you'll come out from the top of the map, facing due Souf, 180ยฐ of longitude (Eaft or Weft, doesn't matter) away.
