Crimson Desert developer Pearly Abyss has implemented a rather curious change to the new open-world action-adventure game: fat cats, previously aptly called “fat cats,” have had their names changed to “loafy cats.”
I leafed through the latest patch notes for Crimson Desert and couldn’t find any mention of this language change, but GamesRadar+ guides editor Joel Franey was able to confirm that, indeed, fat cats are loafy now, not fat. And no, loafy cats aren’t a new feline species added to the game alongside fat cats. That would be too powerful. No, this is complete fat cat erasure. Pearl Abyss even changed the name in the journal. Check it out:
Personally, I’m down for this. I have nothing against fat cats. Quite the contrary, actually; I live with two certified chonkers who I love more than anything in the world. I just prefer the word loafy to fat. Loafy is much more descriptive and paints a clear picture of a full-bodied bread loaf that cats tend to resemble when their primordial pouches start looking more like primordial paunches.
It seems I’m alone, though, as most people commenting on the change on Reddit are opposed.
“Litteraly unplayable,” quips the OP in the below Reddit thread.
“As professional bread, I take offense and it should be changed again. I think Chonky Cat,” says Redditor TaiverX.
“He’ll always be fat cat to me,” says a defiant ResearcherEastern962.
“Should be Giga Cat,” argues TheChasm2.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what the game calls its rotund felines, so long as they never get patched out. As Walker_Shame puts it, “Fat cat vs loafy cat is irrelevant when I refer to that cat as big chungus.”
Crimson Desert “does rivers better” than Red Dead Redemption 2, says former Rockstar artist in praise of the open-world game’s attention to detail: “I couldn’t be more pleased to see this.”
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
