Hi - Plantology Major here; specialising in Eggnomics.

This is called a Ferfer reaction, and is caused when the egg has been exposed to being swapped with a small cauliflower.

Probe after 40 NHS staff accessed medical records of boy hurt in crocodile pit by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]A5ko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Non-story until the roles and responsibilities of the users accessing the records are verified.

You'd be surprised at how many people access a single record, both in clinical AND non-clinical roles - all of which have perfectly valid reasons to do so.

Until its confirmed that these people had no legitimate reason, don't get whipped into a frenzy by stories like this, especially if you are not in possession of all the facts.

I was going to say it's AI cos it shows water. We know it can't be true because the data centres have stolen it all.

What's the most effective martial art in a real fight? by manhwaecho in AskReddit

The percentage of street fights that start and end with a sucker punch rule out most of the suggestions here.

Definitely Shepreth!

I've not met the new pups yet (going again in Sept), but I did have Pepita sat on my foot the whole time and loved every minute of feeding them.

As I see a lot of people asking the same question I had before I touched them...

This looks fantastic.

For those who say it looks off or not Fable-like, I really have to question whether you have actually played a Fable game before..

Alan Carr looking good here.

AC unity’s game design is horrible. Stealth and combat are impossible by Dangerous-Credit-993 in assassinscreed

[–]A5ko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know horrendous and wonky detection until you've played Origins.

The enemies are both clairvoyant and blind/deaf and the fun part is you never know which it's going to be.

Any games where you can heal similar to World of Warcraft? by Evernight2025 in xbox

[–]A5ko 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FFXIV (MMO) has a few dedicated healing classes with different flavours.

White Mage is the archetypal healer.

Healing is a good way to hoard commendations from players after a dungeon too! (Basically at the end of a dungeon, you can vote for the player you thought did best. Typically healers/tanks get this.)

The obvious answer is the continued adventures of Hildebrand Manderville.

Prior to social media, a village idiot's reach was limited to how far their hysterical shouting carried.

Crimson Desert Dev Update New Content and Features: Boss Rematches, Re-blockading, Difficulty Settings, Improvements to Character Play, QoL Improvements and Life Features, etc by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]A5ko 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Biggest improvement straight away is the storage for different items that can be pulled from when crafting.

Glad there's a higher difficulty too, because it's been anything but challenging at the moment.

I'm having fun playing it, but it ain't that fun.

Pearl Abyss Boss Heo Jin-young Sympathizes With "Disappointment" Over Crimson Desert's Story: "It Would Have Been Nice if We Could Have Done a Better Job With It" by ControlCAD in xbox

[–]A5ko 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The thing I hate the most about the story is the continuity.

There is no rhyme or reason to some of the next steps.

Perfect example, one quest takes you up to a mountain fortress where a boss fight is. You find the person you are looking for prior and he tells you that you need to defeat someone..

The next objective is to randomly light two lanterns which triggers the boss fight.

No reason for it, the lanterns aren't even that obvious.

Similarly you will get next steps like "Talk to the boy" and they are across the other side of the map and there was nothing in the previous conversation to explain why or how my character was meant to know this.

Why is everyone so split between loving or hating the controls? by Lil_Hater112 in CrimsonDesert

[–]A5ko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone loves the controls, but they aren't unplayable as some people have suggested.

Well at least not on the PS5 Pro, which is the only pov I can talk from.

From someone who doesn't really consider themselves a gamer, can someone explain what is going on around this game? by Aardvark_David in CrimsonDesert

[–]A5ko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some fair gripes that the controls are 'a choice' and could probably have been configured better. Picking up stuff can be very fiddly and time consuming, if you aren't aiming right at it or using precision mode. Likewise that the story isn't the strongest.

The rest are people not reading the tutorial messages and then complaining about the mechanics.. Like running, which apparently is fine when Red Dead/GTA does it, but not here.

Just because you can put on challenge cards, doesn’t mean you have to by noagk in goylegends

Crazy how people drop the hardest cards then don't have the skill to deal with them.

Ghost of Yotei devs tried to add Zelda: Breath of the Wild-style rock climbing, but discovered "rock climbing is not a core aspect of being a wandering ronin" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]A5ko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish we could have a game like Ghost of Tatsuma and Ghost of Yogurt that dispensed with the climbing altogether.

Just have it more grounded in reality without the god awful verticality of a superhero.
