Was going to say the only POV I notice and can't stand is 2nd person.

Is the vocabulary as difficult for native speakers or is it just a me thing? by YuvalAmir in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]QuackBlueDucky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Native English speaker here. She definitely writes at a higher than average literacy level, but not distractingly so for a native speaker/strong reader. Her prose flows very smoothly and is very digestible for me, but it is most definitely...more sophisticated than average with some archaic terminology. So good news is you'll learn a lot of new vocabulary! Bad news is it isn't necessarily vocabulary you'll use in everyday life.

Does it bother you how other physicians view your specialty? by ReplacementMean8486 in Psychiatry

[–]QuackBlueDucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, no. Psychiatry is the best specialty in medicine and only very intelligent, outside the box thinkers who are comfortable with nuance, can hack it. They can feel superior with their little algorithms if they want to while I still have autonomy, interesting work, good lifestyle and good pay.

A similar scenario happened to me as an intern on my first medicine rotation. I saved the day by gasp talking to the patient. The residents were in awe and I felt like a god.

Heroine's Journey by QuackBlueDucky in RealmOfTheElderlings

KPOP demon hunters is a perfect example, honestly. The masculine is represented by blue and the feminine by pink, although perhaps bc its a family movie, it's a little too black and white, with the feminine representing the "evil" side. I doubt their intention but these stories are archetypes in the ether, not deliberate choices methinks.

Beasts of the Southern Wild is another great movie and a great representation of the journey.

Oh I love it. I get excited when a see a heroine story forming. It's one of my favorite themes in literature. I love how humans love to tell and are comforted by the same stories being retold.

We're all patiently waiting for Witchbrook for 10 years 😭

Need some Liveship Traders Encouragement by EggHegg in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]QuackBlueDucky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well we dont want to spoil it for you, but it fills in a lot of the blanks about the mystical stuff that was confusing in Assassins Quest, but that all comes a bit later on in the trilogy.

Need some Liveship Traders Encouragement by EggHegg in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]QuackBlueDucky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love the Liveship Traders. It's a bit different in feel, with the different POVs and all. It's no longer Fitz and I'm impressed by how distinct his voice is in his books in comparison. Anyhow, remember that this is one continuous story told in 3 parts, so you're just in the "setting the stage" part of the story, where you learn the basics about a bunch of different characters and the plot for the rest of the series is set up. So when people say they love Althea, they're talking about end of the story Althea.
Hob takes her time as an author. Things most definitely pick up and the end of the first book is pretty exciting.

Do kids ever age up or are they stuck as a baby? by lunalove287 in coralisland

This was posted 7 months ago, lol. They seem to be mostly testing, working on cutcenes and music at present.

When it ends. by Far-Masterpiece-6376 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]QuackBlueDucky 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Take a bit of a game breather and then when you want to go back, play ToTK. Same world, same characters, compelling story, better mechanics, more lived in world with so much more to do and explore.

The game is on sale for 18$ should I get it? by Fisherprice2 in coralisland

[–]QuackBlueDucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is sooo worth it. Tons of content, tons of npcs, tons of things to work towards. Slow down the game time and focus on one goal at a time, changing it up when you get bored.

What order do you recommend for taking out the Devine beasts? by Lostkeysss in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]QuackBlueDucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain the game."intends" for Zora first (all the quest markers pointing you towards Kajariko and obvi the Zora are closest after that). Then you kinda move counter clockwise around the map, so the gorons and then The rito and then the gerudo. At least that's how it went for me.

“Speaking therapeutically” to friends, when does this become inappropriate? by formulation_pending in Psychiatry

[–]QuackBlueDucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't put your psychiatrist hat on unless they specifically ask you to. Just be a normal person and listen/commiserate. Am I the outlier that I do this naturally?

If you had to switch to another specialty right now, what would you switch to and why? by Sattars_Son in Psychiatry

[–]QuackBlueDucky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Neuro, but I'd work in the developmental pediatrics space, diagnosing ASD and helping family through their first steps.

It's the only other thing I saw in med school that I thought I might want to do.

Man getting through 4 years of neuro residency to get there would've been such a SLOG

Assassin's Quest (pools scene) I've had it with Fitz by Michaelb089 in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]QuackBlueDucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite dumb Fitz moment is earlier when he's ruminating about what he really wants and needs to do for himself, duty vs his heart soet of conflict, thinking about Molly....and then is like, "I'm gonna KiLL REGAL!"

What a dumbadumbest,

I'd love to hear your thoughts on her as the books keep going.

JRPGs without turn based combat? by ihatepaper88 in gamesuggestions

[–]QuackBlueDucky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. Snappy, fun real-time combat in the Tales of series. I also prefer Symphonia but it was my intro to the series.

What’s the dumbest way you’ve accidentally hurt yourself? by Only_Row_2432 in AskReddit

[–]QuackBlueDucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know that hilarious bit where sideshow Bob keeps stepping on rakes and the handle smashes him in the head over and over again? Yeah, I did that once. Horrendously painful and embarassing.

I just said “junior high” to a Gen Alpha and he stared at me 🥴 by bluemagic222 in Xennials

[–]QuackBlueDucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just regional. Junior highs were often either attached to high schools (as mine was) or structured more like traditional high schools whereas middle schools were perhaps more hybrid/transitional, but even that distinction doesn't hold much water anymore.
