Would you care to expand on that?
ETA: sorry for those who answered already (thanks), my comment was about the oakification part. I am well aware of the crabification, being a crab myself
It was a joke. I don't think oakification is real.
Too late, I'm scared of becoming an oak now
That's what an oak would say
Everything evolves to crab eventually
Just look at crab apples
Referring to Carcinization
A ludicrous theory when crabs merely wish they could match the might of the beetle empire.
Oh muh lawd Quercus is the name of oak trees??
Quercus is a squirrel character in Divinity Original Sin 2, who is trying to stop the Great Acorn from destroying all non-squirrel life.
Wow that game went harder than I assumed from the intro
Every time I see Quercus mentioned, I hear it in Sir Lora's voice. That game is amazing and I am having a blast with Baldur's Gate 3. Surprisingly, the iPad Pro version of DOS2 is really great, especially on the big one. They did the touch controls right.
Title says Quercus, but emojis say Castanea.
But does he sleep all night and work all day?
Right there with him.
