I learned everything I need to know about Crimson Desert from one screenshot

I used to keep tabs on video games. These days I’m far out of the loop, and in the case of Crimson Desert , extremely so. Doesn’t matter though, thanks to a Slack conversation I had unexpectedly with my colleague and fellow member of The Full Nerd, Adam Patrick Murray. He explained the entire point of the game with a screenshot preview of this Kotaku link and this message: “ I’m trying to see how much of the game I can play while holding the cat “

Me: That’s a big freaking cat in that screenshot. Adam: Yeah, these cats are very large.

Me: Like bigger than a Maine Coon. Adam: This game is all over the place in terms of proportions. Adam: I found a kitten!

This kitten looks just like my cat did as a baby!

Me: Do they come in any other colors. Adam: Yes. And sizes. Adam: You pick them up and pet them to gain +5 trust.

Sold.

(Don’t @ me, I’m going to be too busy picking up kittens in whatever world and place Crimson Desert is set in. I guess it’s medieval? Whatever.)
