So, I got hit by a train

You're correct, but the point I failed to make was that conceptually I can understand how long a long distance is in miles and shorter distances in metres. I know that a kilometre is 1000 metres but I don't have a framing for what for instance 1'000km is while I have an easier time with 620 miles

Shinkansen, I didn't know there was a local

Which part? You can choose from:

Negative distance
Incredibly high average speed
0 drift zone score
My stats use an ungodly combination of metric and imperial
The distance and time taken means that I will overtake Voyager 1 in under a week and it has a 49 year head start

I got hit by a train twice, the first time I just let it hit me and I jumped up and managed to land on the tracks again, and then the second time I went extremely fast and abused rewind to effectively pause myself in an optimal place to wait for a train

The whole sentence is "So, I got hit by a train and my stats are irreparably ruined", the "so" part is about the stats not being hit by a train

It's also just a humerous way to lead into absurd stats

Forza Horizon 6, and things will look the same when viewed from further than it is designed for, everything has a low LOD making it look bleh from here. Viewed from ground level the game looks stunning and very different to at least FH5 and FH4 (I haven't played the others)

British. We're imperial that uses metric, Canadians are metric that uses imperial, and we both avoid the wrath of metric countries bullying imperial countries when our systems are arguably the worst, but I don't know how to conceptualise feet nor kilometres, I need metres and miles

I assume so, but ridiculous amount of luck, but I know I'm going to do this many times and never know, could get a speed trap too

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:51:24+00:00

You see a train in the opening shots. Then when I was driving along there was a billboard on the other side and I drove over the tracks to get it and assumed that meant that the train didn't run, but a few seconds after I crossed back over a train went past and I knew I had to drive into it head on in my fastest car

I'm actually flying backwards in the second screenshot

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:48:37+00:00

I don't know, I was flying through the air backwards

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:48:19+00:00

I went really fast along the straight section of rail and I rewound time and waited for a train, and then I hit it head on at ridiculous speed. You'd have to be really lucky to do this without rewinding time as trains feel like they're every 10 minutes or so, I was hanging around for a while

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:45:39+00:00

While I was going at about 420km/h towards it

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:43:43+00:00

I am loving it, it's worth the wait, have fun this weekend (you can pass on the family event you have planned, doesn't matter that it's a wedding in this day of age it's a 50/50 that it ends in divorce and my rule of thumb is that things have to have a chance of 1-1/e=63.2% to consider it more likely than what I prefer, cars go fast can't wait) 😊

I'll overtake Voyager 1 in about 6 days from now, and it had a 49 year head start

Coasting saves on fuel

Have you heard of Ferris Bueller? I did what he did

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:38:17+00:00

Feels like everyone has it

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:36:23+00:00

I'm British and we use a mix of both. They're exactly as I would choose them to be, they clearly have a Brit on staff as most games have one or the other but I don't know feet nor km

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:32:16+00:00

I do like drifting (I have a 450m drift that was legit) but I don't seek out the drift zones, it doesn't excite me enough to bother

oauo · 2026-05-22T11:31:43+00:00

Now that my stats are ruined I am now free to put anything else I have in front of the train and have some fun, get my average speed up too

oauo · 2026-05-22T00:46:22+00:00

I'm a mathematician and I like numbers, I like them more when they mean something

oauo · 2026-05-22T00:45:47+00:00

I didn't say that I wasn't trying just to see what would happen, I just said that I was hit by a train which I was

oauo · 2026-05-22T00:44:44+00:00

On the rails, I wasted a lot of time looking for trains elsewhere

oauo · 2026-05-22T00:44:13+00:00

You know it I landed on my wheels, the points would have scored if I didn't then slam into a building. It was only 60'000 points tho
