If “acus” means that, then i wonder, how does “abacus” mean a thing you count with? Etymology is fascinating :)

Well it took them 50 years to figure out, whereas Adam guessed it immediately.

Yeah, and apparently that phrase dates back to at least a 1526 translation of the Bible. It’s old.

Fun fact, the “Quick” part of it is an old timey synonym of “Living”. So basically, Living Sand. It’s the same thing with Quick Silver (mercury).

Me neither, and I guess they didn’t need them all in the end!

I dropped it at the beginning of either 4 or 5. They apparently had a whole side story on some other platform involving one of the main characters, which had some events that happened between seasons, but they didn’t really explain it existed. So it felt super jarring and confusing walking into the new season, and I was just like “i’m done”.

I remember THIS was the game Nintendo chose to bring over instead of Mother 3, and i’ll never not criticize them for it

It does. My brother and I call those dudes “Burger Kings” because they look like BK’s creepy king mascot
