    Let's see, that took roughly 12 hours. So by my math that means it will only take...

    ...13.69 years...

    Except it's wrong as well because it implies he just started from scratch and we all saw screenshots and videos.

    So at worst, if 40% is already done, it's only 82 years.

    Rejoice! The young retards the Codex is harboring will be able to play some incline before they die according they have a healthy diet and they're lucky.

    Those apostrophe placements are really awkward to read for me.

    They seem to be used correctly for apostrophes commas.

    We're not talking strictly about correct/incorrect here. "Whatever the reason, he thought..." suggests that we are viewing an internal monologue (i.e. not spoken), but what follows reverts to a description external to the character. If the comma after "reason" was removed, it would look less like an internal monologue and more like the narrator is informing us that the reason the character who is looking at the chest is irrelevant (which I suspect is the purpose here, or else we have this thought hanging around with no resolution).

    Also the comma before "most probably" looks like it could be a comma splice, but maybe it could qualify as a non-defining relative clause. The mechanics there are a bit more sophisticated than I have the training to correct. Those sections just read very awkwardly to me.

    You are right here, the comma there is either irrelevant, or the "he thought" part could be skipped altogether. There may be more such gems in the text, but my excuse is that those were written in a hurry and most likely will be revisited. I's good to have bros point such things out! :)

    I don't find that one too awkward; It is a non-defining relative clause.

    At such a level of writing, I find myself constantly self-editing.

    Says the guy who started his paragraph with “Also,” an adverb that requires the use of a comma when used at the beginning of a sentence.
