It’s not a huge deal, but it does feel a bit inorganic.</em><br /><br />I noticed a similar spot when Srini wakes Freddy up pleading urgently for help about the Assay Office being on fire -- and then when you leave the pharmacy you just get the regular "well, I'm going out to uphold justice" "okey the dokey" exchange, and not something more tailored to what's supposedly happening at the moment.<br /><br /><em>The manual features a medicine called Bisalicylate Antitoxidene, “an effective, albeit highly powerful, compound in the correction of diarrhea.” It calls for 25 ml. of Bismuth Subsalicylate</em><br /><br />AKA the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol!<br /><br /><em>Stupid me used the graduated cylinder to, you know, measure the stuff, and then tried dumping it into the test tube, but that didn’t work. </em><br /><br />Huh... I'm pretty sure I used the graduated cylinder and it worked... did you measure and transfer the ingredients to the test tube one at a time, or did you effectively mix in the cylinder and then dump the mixture in the test tube? Maybe it's picky about that.arcanetriviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02033767865654085177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-7797634812286326322020-09-09T15:24:15.390+10:002020-09-09T15:24:15.390+10:00AFAIK that bit with drinking the dysentery water i...AFAIK that bit with drinking the dysentery water is totally optional; the points are just a reward for you finding the joke.
