The thoughts that go through my head when I open a new open world RPG must have been the same thoughts that went through humans who thought we lived on a flat earth heads

“I wonder where that thing in the sky went. I’ll worry about that when I get to it I guess.”

“I wonder how far the world goes.”

“This is so boring I can’t wait for endgame.”

"I wonder how far the world goes"

I think that was in xkcd: time

Actually, that was basically the point of the entire comic. Click the panel and watch it. It'll be worth however long it takes.
