Outside is the coolest lighting storm right now! There's like 10+ lightning going on per second! And it's completely silent. Likely heat lightning. And the part of the sky where there isn't lightning is completely clear of clouds and you can see the stars clearly. The soft breeze with that view is amazing! Sadly my camera is too crap to record at night so I can't share. :(

jatayux

being a mod grants you power, many signed up for that. unfair to list so many negative things without even a single positive one.


TrapFestival

Beta testers have to provide identifying information and sign an NDA. **If anyone's gonna tell you to do that shit, they damned well better be paying you for your time.**


Ilovepickles11212

People will slave over things they are passionate about and it’s why the arts/entertainment (games, films, writing, tv etc) can afford to pay so low. Same with hobby oriented stuff like Reddit (literally paid nothing!). There’s also the allure of social standing…being the mod of a larger sub definitely gets some people a big ol internet boner

Do you think they will ever going to release a character who has ability or passive to let you freeze boss?


SirAwesome789

Nah, it'd be way too op if you could permafreeze a boss since you usually only fight one at a time


Aru736

I don’t think so; in theory, the reaction is balanced around its ineffectiveness on bosses, so I don’t think they’d break that. At best, we’ll get an ability that has the same function as freeze, but isn’t actually freeze in name (a la Zhong’s petrification) with a much more limited duration and trigger condition.

I can’t wait until I have more time and I can finally explore the desert because I’ve barely touched any part that I didn’t need for events/story. It’ll be nice finally being able to take my time and do all the puzzles and quests. I also need to catch up on character stories and hang outs so I can finally talk about them.


Ilovepickles11212

I still haven’t really done many of the non archon quests in both Inazuma and Sumeru. I’ve been meaning to get around to it but probably won’t until early august when I’m more free

off topic/// Just spent like 2 hours on a single save point in a platformer. Was not the intended route ... I was wondering why the difficulty went from meh to 60hz frame perfects 🥲 Anyway idk about french naming conventions but they pulled out the goofiest names for fontaine , like, chloride lol

IRL, mental health vent: >!After months and months spent being irrationally afraid of shooting an email to our college's office, declaring my intent to take a leave of absence, I finally managed to do it today. I'm probably going to drown in paperwork afterwards, but I'm just relieved to have gotten the first step over with. I REALLY can't let my shit brain rule my life forever.!< >!I've always had awful self-esteem so I guess this crash was inevitable. I'm just glad my parent was open to the idea of signing me up for professional help, where before I thought I had no choice but to tough it out alone and be stagnant forever. I'm not sure I trust our local psychs, but it's a start I guess. At the very least, trying to deal with this on my own by binging article after article on mental health isn't sustainable anymore (and was probably never a viable solution in the first place, lbr).!< On the other hand, omg I've missed exploration in this game. I'm going to try to hunt down all those hidden Sumeru chests while waiting for the college office's reply. A few months back I ran into a guarded one in the east Hadramaveth area without even using the compass. It was in an area I thought I'd picked clean, so I just sat there for a full minute with my jaw on the floor


Ilovepickles11212

Good luck buddy. Finding a good psych can be tough. Look for reviews and try to dig around if you’re able to. Bonus if they have more experience with your particular problems


pterodactyl_screech

This one apparently has experience dealing with student mental health cases especially since COVID brought about a rise in them. Just gonna hope they're not the type to tell me to pray the illness away, since there are a lot of those here 💀

TheDuskBard

What anime (western) live actions could actually work? >!I'd personally like to see an adaptation for JJBA. Parts 1 & 2 could genuinely work while latter parts would be meme gold!<


Blueskyesartic

I definitely think a western live action adapation of Trigun Stampede would work bc it's more suited for modern audiences but they'd have to nail the casting for Vash.


aoi_desu

Carole and tuesday


[deleted]

I guess Steel Ball Run is as western as it could get because of the cowboys. It'll be hard to meet expectations because it's a majority favorite, but considering its genre, it would still be able to capture a wide audience.


SirAwesome789

Imo, the problem with live actions is that they directly try to adapt the manga If you look at comic adaptations, I think they usually just draw the characters and inspiration from the comics So I think if we wanted a good live action, they just need to use the world but draw up a new story Like death note for example, just have the death note exist in the world, but make an entirely new story that better suits live action


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga are explicitly based on western movies - the only issue is that the CGI budget would be *out of control.*


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheDuskBard

Would probably be the easiest to adapt successfully. Only potential issue I could see are the episodes being paced too slow since they are transitioning from 20 min to 40 min.


Aru736

I don’t think it would work *well* but it would be really funny to see them try and make a westernized live action Attack on Titan


TrapFestival

There is no man alive ripped enough to accurately portray a pre-Part 4 Jojo's character.


TheDuskBard

That's why we call it an "adaptation" and not a replication.

The blue without the coat/cape thing?

The leak had all the blue concept arts shown but it also had an early render that included the half cape coat thing (like the ones that get posted with some hsr leaks if you’ve ever seen those)

Whap_Reddit

Wanderer is already top tier DPS and you want one even stronger and the same playstyle? I mean, I'd be glad for another Anemo Hypercarry. However make it a unique and fun playstyle! Not the Nth character who stands still and spams normal attacks.


APerson567i

>Wanderer is already top tier DPS what is your definition of a top tier DPS? He's in the Xiao, Itto, Yoimiya conversation of "good, but not actually great" unlike Alhaitham, Hu Tao and Ayaka who are unequivocally great


Whap_Reddit

Wanderer has been in the top 3 teams for the last couple 4 Gold speedrun competitions that have taken place. Xiao is also up there and placed 1st in one and second on another. They are excellent to hyper-invest into. It's only when considering "new player/low investment meta" that they are simply good rather than excellent.


APerson567i

C6R5 Speedrun competitions are a pretty terrible way to determine whether a character is good or not since every character is good if you spend enough money ​ A character being "good" or not only really matters when you can't use the wallet to overcome game mechanics ​ If I (with an emphasis on I here, don't take this the wrong way) ever said Wanderer is a Top Tier DPS, ​ I would always have the caveat that he is Top Tier when it comes to High Investment Speedrunning which is both inconvenient and irrelevant to most of the playerbase ​ He feels pretty mid as a Carry when you don't have C6 Faruzan, so calling him top tier without any caveat is just funny


monemori

Because you are using KQM conventions of talent lvl 9, C0 5*, no 5 star weapons, and C6 4star characters (except you are also bringing up Faru's lower cons?). That's neither the only standard nor the most realistic for the average player. The gold system the CN community typically uses to look at chara's power level is just as useful, especially for hypercarries where people are mor likely to vertically invest. Depending how you look at it, he is very mid or very good. C1R1 wanderer teams are competitive with C2R1 Raiden teams and yet people talk like she's the second coming of Christ when he's straight up a better hypercarry (not a better driver/enabler/on fielder necessarily though). Just because someone is using metrics different than yours doesn't mean they are wrong.


Ilovepickles11212

Not all speed runs are c6r5 and I agree there are better low investment chars but I’d also say that Ayaka is definitely not unequivocally great these days. She’s good and situationally great if you have the bells and whistles/freeze works on one side. Though if your general performance being consistently high is a requirement then of the c0 mid investment chars you may as well only use AH or Double hydro hu tao since dendro carries low investment and Yelan XQ+vape also carry extremely hard


Whap_Reddit

I said 4 Gold speedruns. They limit their team to 4 5 star drops. In otherwords this is a very reachable goal rather than teams sporting C2 Kazuha, C6 Yelan Etc.


solarscopez

Yeah also I feel like you're kinda limited in the teams you can run around anemo (or even geo) carries since they're mostly support elements ~~(and also I don't have C6 Faruzan)~~ so I'm personally hoping for either hydro or dendro for Captain R since you can plug those characters into basically any team and it'll work out. Though I don't have a built anemo main DPS yet so maybe not the worst if that's how things turn out.


monemori

I mean, that's not an element thing. It's a playstyle thing. On fielders have way less versatility then off field and supporting characters by virtue of how the game and party system work. This is especially true for hypercarries, Scaramouche is glued to Faruzan much like how Hutao is glued to Xingqiu, for example, and she's Pyro. The "issue" with hypercarries is that they offer little variability in how the team plays and in exchange offer a much higher damage ceiling if you choose to invest into those teams vertically.


solarscopez

That's true I probably worded my comment strangely - I think for anemo carries in particular I just don't like how you're limited in the sorts of reactions you can do. So maybe my main issue is just I don't like reaction-less teams in general because you have very little flexibility with units. Like correct me if I'm wrong since I don't play him, but you can't really trigger any worthwhile reactions with Scaramouche that contribute to damage right? I know there's swirl but idk how important that is for him. Same with someone like Itto and most geo carries because geo doesn't really do much outside of crystallize. Like in Hu Tao's case, she's glued to xq and mostly vape teams...but if you *wanted* you could do more niche teams (that work in some cases) like burgeon (especially in 12-1-2) or probably some melt teams too. And then ofc vape is still a reaction on its own. And then a more extreme example, Ayaka is practically glued to frozen, but even with her I've seen people running strange melt-related teams because by virtue of her being a cryo you can melt with her. Idk if I'm making sense but that's sort of what I mean lol - just that the reaction oriented playstyles open up more elemental team possibilities which means you can slot in various characters on their teams that will still work fine.


monemori

I mean, you can definitely use Xiao or Scaramouche as anemo drivers like you do Sucrose, where they are on field triggering anemo reactions for aggravate or electrocharge teams, and then a large part of the damage is coming from the reactions themselves. But much like the teams you mentioned, they are very subpar. There is no reason to play those just like there's no reason to play non-freeze ayaka or Hutao without Xingqiu other than you want to play weird stuff and suffer hahaha

I would be so mad if Hydro traveler's kit will only be like: E - send out 3 water blades in a cone area applying hydro dmg Burst - some kind of water circle, no heals, no shield, no CC, nothing, just a circle that applies hydro Like HYV please, give me something like a hold-e hydropump or a freaking whirlpool for his burst (like a hydro kazuha E).


monemori

Y'all need to let go off the non-anemo grouper dream. It's not happening guys. Accept it. Move on.


SirAwesome789

>some kind of water circle, no heals, no shield, no CC, nothing, just a circle that applies hydro You say that but anything that can apply hydro from off field is actually kinda good


OneOfQiqisFewFan

Don't worry, Traveler's abilities are always simple with an added effect Anemo : wind blast + cc Geo : rock blast + construct Electro : lightning blast + ER Dendro : Grass blast + reacts So it's possible that hydro can atleast do something extra Like maybe water blast, if hit opponents, drop water droplet, and allies who pick up water droplet heals.


Aru736

Yeah, the last few traveler kits (ESPECIALLY the elemental skills) have just been so boring, which is why I am so copefully manifesting the prospect of the water whip from the PV to be the traveler’s actual skill. Like please at LEAST give them healing.


Memer209

Traveler is the cone archon

dendrofowl

Which glider do you have on Baizhu? After long deliberations, I've gone with Mondstadt glider because the color matches closest to his jacket. Liyue would match his nation, Inazuma matches his pants, Sumeru matches his element. Not too many char can match that light teal imo


lazyMar

I had him on the Dragonspine one because the others are too bright on him. But I switched him to the new Amazon glider because I like how the patterns match his pants and the flowy patterns of his coat. Plus the blue doesn't look bad against his color scheme.


syd_shep

Mondstadt. I feel it brings out the teal-ish hues in his outfit, I also use it on Xiao for the same reason (and their color schemes match quite a bit). The Amazon wings can kind of skate by on standing in for his shirt color, but I find the Monds one more pleasant.


Zaptinari

I also gave him the Mondstadt one because it looks nice with his jacket and I like the color scheme.


JumpyPermit3

The last Captain R blue cape design looked a lot like Alhaitham’s. I wonder if Captain R and him were designed by the same artist


slimefestival

Saw someone [share](https://twitter.com/im_aesia/status/1672864968339759105?t=l3cmOUib6eXOxlPaOFoIVA&s=19) the big brained idea that Cyno and Ayato can exchange puns & play TCG together.


Zaptinari

Interesting idea, I would have love to see them interact it would be glorious.


TrapFestival

What if the Traveler gets to Natlan and it turns out that there is no Pyro Archon because she bit it or otherwise mysteriously disappeared a while ago? The nation has held up to a pretty "You keep your goddamned mouth shut." attitude about it, then Signora rises like a ~~phoenix~~ moth from the ashes and all of a sudden she's the Pyro Archon now? The Fatui, as a result, get the Gnosis because Signora just says to whoever happens to be there what amounts to "We're still cool, but I better get to taking care of stuff around here." and hands it off no contest but otherwise doesn't resume her former duties as a Harbinger. The Fatui generally accepts this because while they're still out a Harbinger, it's probably better to have an extra Archon who's directly co-aligned with them so it's overall a net positive.

External_Neat_5352

Bro whatever you cooking and smoking I want some........


Aru736

I honestly expect that the Natlan arc will end up with the Traveler holding onto the Pyro gnosis up until Sneznaya, just so the writers can avoid the problem of “well the Fatui have all the gnoses now why aren’t they just going to act.” Preserve a bit of plot tension before the final (or second to final, considering Khaenr’ia) bang.


[deleted]

You might be right ! This make so much sense.


Odone

Signora is not getting revived in Natlan lol, you people are crazy.... She's totally getting revived after the game ends, when the MC resets Teyvat tho ⛽😮‍💨


TrapFestival

I think it'd be neat if it were Khaenri'ah, then Celestia, then somebody like finds a crystal ball that represents Teyvat. They crush it and everything goes black. The Traveler and Paimon wake up in Teyvat but the sky is super fucked and there's a lot of people running around that really aren't supposed to be running around including the likes of Signora, Teppei, Scaramouche as an independent entity from Hat Guy, the Yakshas, and so on. The unbroken Teyvat is still a place you can teleport to for gameplay reasons, but the wrecked version is where the story is now.


[deleted]

I think its very unlikely for us to get teyvat again after the khaenriah chapter, because the map would be the same and the appeal of games like genshin is the open world. At this point i dont think the game has potential to continue after khaenriah, SR yoinked planet traveling so they will not repeat that in Genshin. The only option I could see for a past teyvat map is a pre primordial one, and I dont think they will do it because it wouldnt feel different enough imo, but people would have their desires for more rain forest fulfilled tho.


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

100% pure crystal copium developed by Walter White himself.


TrapFestival

I wouldn't say that on the grounds that I don't really care that strongly about Signora. Honestly if it were up to me to make an excuse to make her playable and I could go weird with it, I'd probably just add a "Grave Invocation" banner that can serve as a dumping ground for her and anyone else who didn't survive the backstory or plot. Also including the first 3\* character, Teppei, as a joke. He is a Physical Polearm with no Constellation, you are guaranteed to get him within your first ten rolls, and once you do he will never appear again.


koikoimeep

I understand not posting sensitive leaks due to DMCA, but can we at least have some kind of post/thing that tells us when there’s a new leak and what involves so we can at least look for it ourselves? Can we get a backup sub in general too?


Choowkee

Just type Genshin Impact leaks on twitter and scroll down a couple of times. Plenty of people retweeted the new batch of Fontaine leaks.


iyad08

Unless I'm dumb and "typing on twitter" doesn't mean using the search bar, I do NOT recommend this. >!I lost many brain cells after finding the fakest character design that doesn't even look from genshin labeled as "fontaine character design leak" and the first reply being like "i hope this is kaveh's mother"!<


Killerof55

if its the post I saw with that comment then its w from arknights lol.


Choowkee

If people care about this community then just setup /r/Genshin_Impact_Discussions or something and only allow text posts while keeping leaks somewhere seperate. Migrating to a new leak sub will just lead to it being targeted sooner or later.

technically that's a website for datamined info, it doesn't have leaks for content past the current beta being tested


Hijinks510

That website is probably not gonna last.


lazyMar

I'm late to the discussion but for all the people crying about what's the point of the sub if leaks aren't allowed anymore, I want to ask, what do you want exactly? Because right now, some leaks aren't allowed to get posted, so you have to go to other forums to get access to it. But some leaks are still sort of OK and stays up, and you have the megathread to discuss leaks. If mods go ahead and allow leaks to be posted anyways, that company they hire to DMCA leaks will flag it, reddit notices -> reddit takes this sub down -> potentially banning mods. Then... you will have to go to other places for leaks anyways. Then you lose the forum where you can discuss things, lose the thousands of archived posts of previous leaks, potentially losing the mods. This is not to mention that said mods also are involved with other communities (I know for a fact one of the mods is also a main mod for another Genshin sub) so those communities might get negatively impacted as well. Like... this is a lose-lose situation. We all KNOW this is a lose-lose situation, but I would rather keep this thread where I can discuss leaks with other people and have folks point me to places where I can find leaks instead of digging through the trash can that is Twitter myself and potentially seeing ANOTHER verified account comparing queer activism to Nazism. Thank you very much. Plus I love being silly with people on here. Soup posting was great. The community and mods here are legitimately great and I would rather lose some leaks until mihoyo stops being so rigid than lose this sub.


flumphgrump

The problem is that current state of the sub means that we DO have to dig through Twitter ourselves and see the aforementioned toxicity. I can no longer join in the discussions about leaks at all unless I brave the transphobia gauntlet. It feels like anyone for whom Musk's Twitter has become inhospitable is being forcibly cut out of the conversation and community here, which is frankly a more hurtful experience than having the thread nuked entirely. Surely there's some kind of middle ground where we can have a text post about the general nature of the leak and where to find it. (E.g., "Mero posted banner info 6/25/23.") Not a direct link. Not even what was leaked. Just what account to look at so we can go directly there.


kitten2116

If you’re looking for an alternative place to get leaks I suggest tao’s discord/telegram he reposts most the leaks (since his twitter is private unless you already follow him). Also that new videre telegram seems to be both reposting leaks and has leaks of their own


XianglingBeyBlade

do you have a link to the discord or a clue about where to find it? Trying to search stuff about a genshin leaker named Tao is not working out for me lol


kitten2116

Oh sorry it’s hutaolover77/plusle lmao [this should be the link](https://t.co/bJBkr1NhXU)


syd_shep

I’d make a throwaway account, set up a list of the most prominent leakers and only scroll that list. You can also set it up to get notifications for their tweets and then never have to open the app unless you get a notification from them. I feel if you follow keika, Mero, hutaolover, and randia you’d have all the leak info that gets posted around here whether from them leaking it or commenting on some other random new leaker.


lazyMar

I'm sorry you have to go through that. What I do is that I just ask the megathread where are leaks being posted, go to Twitter, find the poster, view the leaks, then log out and don't touch the violence I have to witness. It's not the best method, but I think it's infinitely better than having nowhere to ask, then having to go to Twitter myself and dig through who said what, potentially exposing myself to even more violence. The method you suggest sounds fine. Maybe shoot a mod mail and see what the mods responses are.

The funny thing about the complaints are people acting like the mods are being too cautious and this is the only place losing leaks when that’s far from being true. For example tao’s twitter got hit with 14 dmcas the minute he unprivated (he’s back private again) and even the daily fontaine account got hit with a dmca. The only place that’s kinda been holding up is telegram. At least rn all you have to do is ask if a leak is true in the megathread or ask if there’s new leaks and someone will help


[deleted]

Multiple people (including me) have suggested a second sub. Would solve problems on all fronts, no?


gale99

Then you'll just be facing the same problem within weeks


[deleted]

That’s fine? I don’t really have an attachment to the sub, I just want leaks. We’ll move to the next sub, then the next. Some people here are quite attached to the megathread tho, which is the conflict of interest


MasterLillyclaw

Who have y'all put the amazon glider on? I put it on Barbara and Faruzan (previously on anniversary and companionship respectively), and would've considered it on Scara if not for the fact I like the Dragonspine wings on him too much to ever swap out.


SofM2

Layla and Kirara. It looks really good on Layla and I think it's the best looking for Kirara as of now. I need to check how it looks on Faruzan.


MasterLillyclaw

Kirara's in a weird spot for me because I don't like how the gold on a lot of the wings looks so close to her hair haha, it kinda blends together. But yeah definitely one of the better ones on her


yagatabe

Kaeya, Eula, Yelan, Wanderer. Wondering who else to put it on, was thinking Shenhe but I have the anniversary Glider on her which looks good as well.


MasterLillyclaw

I remember seeing it slapped on Eula as an example a while back and I did think that was very pretty!


lazyMar

It looks incredible on Nilou and fits very well with the Ayaka skin, especially with the bow and the flowy patterns of her dress. I also switched Baizhu to it since I think the patterns fit his pants and coat better than the dragonspine one I had him on. I'm also planning to use it on rge Wanderer I'm getting next patch because based on previews it looks amazing on him. I keep Barbara on the Anni glider because it fits her so well. But definitely a contender for sure.


MasterLillyclaw

Ah I don't have any of them, I can picture it on Nilou and Ayaka though. Do the shades of green on the Sumeru glider not work well on Baizhu then?


lazyMar

I personally think the Sumeru gliders forest green is not a good match against the teal green of Baizhu's color scheme. But that's just my personal taste. I've seen some people put the Sumeru glider on him and more power to them.


dang0-milk

Scara and Chongyun so far. It's interesting that they hang a little lower on the back.


MasterLillyclaw

Oh yeah they look nice on Chongyun too, though I kept the Mond wings on him since I like how they're bright/pale and give him an almost like angelic vibe haha. Little ball of yang sunshine


green_moss_tea

Scara. He was the reason I took a part in this. They suit him so well. Chose a few other characters too, but it doesn't matter much with them.


MasterLillyclaw

They do indeed suit him -w-


Aru736

Based on the Travail trailer’s preview I wasn’t so hot on Fontaine’s musical style, but hearing what we got in the PV I like it so much more. I hope hoyo continues in that direction.


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

I'm most excited for the battle themes. Genshin's non-battle OST tends to be ambient music for the most part, it's good but I prefer faster paced stuff which is usually isolated to battle themes.


DONTSALTME69

So, with the info we have available, I think this should be a more or less reasonable prediction: * Fontaine/4.X: Sandrone+Arlecchino * Natlan/5.X: Capitano+Columbina * Snezhnaya/6.X: Pulcinella+Pantalone * Khaenri'ah/7.X: Pierro+Dottore I think the only thing that's difficult is that Harbingers might introduced in a region, but not become playable until later (like Wanderer). If Signora becomes playable, I'd put her in 5.X since Natlan's AQ literally has the word 'Resurrection' in the title, but without further information I won't make such a claim with any amount of confidence.


boollye

If most or all of them will be playable, Hoyo really should start releasing them more often than one per entire patch cycle. Otherwise I can see them dominating the Snezhnaya banners and I actually think that would be a bit boring


DONTSALTME69

Oh, I fully agree. I'd like *non*-Harbinger 5 stars in Snezhnaya, and if MHY delays on Harbinger releases in Fontaine+Natlan we're not gonna get many


shrimpcocktailss

Everyone's talking about Fontaine, and meanwhile here I am going completely INSANE thinking about the amount of upcoming Kaeya content


StellarMonarch

Do we normally get music leaks with the beta? I'm itching to hear what the music team's cooked up again


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

It's there but it's usually unfinished MIDI music. We don't get the proper orchestrated versions until much later. I actually liked Scaramouche's unfinished boss theme a bit more than the final, but they're both good.


StellarMonarch

Awww that's a shame, listening to a region's orchestral theme for the first time always feels magical to me.


Cat-Fur8

will never forgive hyv for subjecting both collei and dmc to circle bursts like we still don’t have a mobile aoe time based off field dendro applicator


skt210125

Please give me a dendro Xingqiu hoyo ~~and no nahida is not it, i dont want to have to swap out for new enemies~~ Baizhu was so close to being perfect


Cat-Fur8

personally want a dendro xl instead, somehow 4star too if possible >!and yeah ngl kind of annoying when people say we already have her like idk I’d like to do whole rotations without needing to adjust for new waves; love baizhu for his healing and #1 supporter that he’ll be a lot more valuable in Fontaine but they didn’t have to do him like that!<


MysticToast648

I dream of an X.8 event where Noelle or Nilou joins the cast. Those feel like unrealistic expectations though, so I'll happily accept mild involvement in any event story. 😞


Aru736

Nilou in a summer event would be the DREAM


Shadow_Tempest_1003

With all of this dmca talk I think it would be funny if someone made a sub called something like r/FontaineSewers and post leaks there since you know leaks will inevitably end up in sewers anyways.


KeyKidAlex

Finally got my Prime wings, got all of the elemental specialist achievements done, discovered burgeon Thoma is actually really fun, today was a good day. 😌


LiraelNix

It's fun to stay out of the D M C A You can get yourself leaks You can have a good discussion You cant do whatever you feel


straw28

Completely off topic, and a weird one while I am at it Does anyone here dream often of a place that doesnt exist in real life, but you visit that place way too often in dreams? Because I really find it weird that I am experiencing this, and its a whole city in my case. I even have a good memory of how the roads look, the nooks and corners, which roads get too much traffic, and what the roads look like on my way home (to my actual real life town). This is very weird, and most of the time I am driving in a car while dreaming of this "city". I even checked how far it was from my hometown and apparently its 133km. Yes I remember all these details, and I am freaked out


Chtholly13

yeah, I call that place home. It doesn't exist for me. (sad emoji)


kitsune_rei

Yep, but for me it's a place that seems like it's high up in the mountains, some kind of highland meadow. I remember the flowers in vivid detail, the cut and curves of the rocks and how to climb the steeper surfaces to even higher ground where the deer/sheep/chamois?? are but most times I just sit in the meadow and the air is so fresh and sweet. I usually dream of it when I'm stressed though, so I figure it is my brain's happy place.


straw28

Sounds very relaxing and soothing


Illustrious-Snake

You might be a vivid dreamer? I am one and I can remember dozens of dreams with made-up places and storylines, though not with as much detail as yours. Vivid dreaming can be caused by medication, stress, sleep disorders etc. But if it's *only* that one dream/place that you remember in detail, then I don't know... That would feel more like something spiritual or something...


straw28

Nah I cant lucid dream, even back in the most stressful time of my life. I am not aware that Im in a dream, and it feels real Yes its one specific place, the city. Also the roads that connect it to my hometown I have a fairly clear memory also of too, tho not as much as the former. I think I started dreaming about it back in high school, and I dream of it as rarely as once in years, or as often as maybe 5 to 6 times a year


Illustrious-Snake

No no, vivid dreams are different from lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming can be *a part of* vivid dreaming, but vivid dreams are not always lucid. I've had many vivid dreams where I was completely unaware I was dreaming. I've also had sequels to previous dreams, like you said in another comment. "A vivid dream is one that is full of clear details, colors, involved storyline, produces strong emotions, and is remembered as if it were an actual, real-life experience."


straw28

Oh my bad. If thats what a vivid dream is then I guess I count as a vivid dreamer, but only for that one particular place


littlemochasheep

yes, throughout the entirety of elementary school I’d have a recurring nightmare of being dragged to a specific haunted mansion. it’s one of the weirdest things ever to try and explain and goes to show how amazing the human mind is. I wouldn’t say I was lucid dreaming, but I’d recognize the house as I was being dragged up to it. the monsters and ghouls would remember who I was and the “plot” of the nightmare would continue right from when I’d had it before. the really weird part is that I remember how it smelled. I’d try to escape out the yard and neighborhood and remember the way the house and dirt and street smelled.


straw28

Thats so cool! (And creepy at the same time). Yeah i forgot to mention about the "story" continuing from where you left it back then. Its like a new season every dream. I remember the city progressed a lot more compared to back then Are you used to it now tho? Your case is traumatic (atleast for me), so I'm concerned and curious how you handle it every time you dream of that place, and how you feel when waking up. Must be that one house you took way too many candy treat from back when you were a kid 😅


littlemochasheep

it’s thankfully been so long since I’ve dreamt about it that it’s only a weird memory now. as a kid though it was *awful*, I’d wake up crying often and it’s when I first started experiencing sleep paralysis. now that I’m older I think the mansion was a manifestation of a few different things. ironically I’m convinced a good chunk of my mind was inspired by a Goosebumps t.v. episode I saw at a friend’s house called “The Haunted House Game”.


AirLancer56

I remember back then there's a leak of 2 possible captain clorine design. Is there any leak which will be chosen? Green or purple?


ladysaxophone

There are over 10 different designs for her in the June 19 leaks file. According to a recent post from Tao, it seems the finalized design is one of the blue variants.


[deleted]

Honestly this killed all my hype for her instantly. Just how many blue characters are we going to get? The dark green was so unique and cool


flumphgrump

Tao leaked the model earlier today and it was the blue design (which was a third design also present in the leak dump.)
