Andromeda is actually the closest major galaxy to us, but it's about 2.5 million light-years away, not the 30 seconds Bob showed you - he probably meant it took that long to point it out with the chart. Paper charts do hold their own charm on a dark night though.

Yeah I was doing the same thing for years. Little drip on the inside makes a huge difference.

My buddy Tom dropped $60 on some indie RPG called "Dungeon Realms" back in 2019. He kept getting these cool concept art updates for like 18 months, then the devs just vanished. No posts, no refunds, nothing. He tried the credit card chargeback route but it was way past the 120 day window by then. Watched his money disappear into the void with zero to show for it. That whole thing got me so jaded about crowdfunding games lol.

Buddy of mine tried that with drywall tape once. Big mess lol.

Proper respect for handling that like a professional under pressure. Cutting the bag and swimming free was the ONLY call with current that strong and a snag that deep. Good to see you walked away from a situation that could have gone way worse real fast.
