Just a rant about the state of the game after Natlan
2025.01.19 03:54 suittt3 Just a rant about the state of the game after Natlan
Yesterday, I finally finished the Natlan Archon Quest and for the first time since playing this game since day 1 way back in 1.0, I felt empty.
In my personal opinion, although Natlan story quest have some of the best production quality in the game to date, it is the worst story quest I have experienced in this game. Even worse than Inazuma and Liyue, because it is just... boring.
Despite many interesting detail and potential set ups sprinkle throughout the story of natlan, the archon quest plot is painfully simple. Basically the first act are just exposition for the concept of night kingdom and pilgrimage, then abyss attack and damaged the land, so Mavuika and us go into the night kingdom and beat the big bad and solve everything. Oh conviniently the price she has to pay for the power she borrowed is paid by someone who is already trying to die, so everyone end up living happily ever after.
People says that the story feels like it rushed to the end too quickly like Inazuma but I disagree, I think the key difference is that Inazuma actually have a decent plotline, brought down by the way the story is told. Meanwhile, Natlan just have... nothing to say. You can give natlan 3 more act and it would still be a nothing burger now that we know the plot of Natlan. No good twist, no mystery to unravel, the whole thing is just so basic it felt like they doesnt even try anymore. In comparison, even the worst main quest in the game by most people standard - Inazuma, have many interesting twist that kept me interested, such as the reveal of how the Raiden Shogun is actually a puppet with the real archon meditating alone for eternity to protects her ideals and people, to name a few.
The basic story of Natlan also affect my attachment to natlan characters. They all feels so hollow and unintersting because they have no motivation beyond the basic goal of protecting natlan by fighting the abyss, and there is no flaws to their characters. In comparison, even earlier region we have character like Zhongli that have more complex and humane motivation such as wanting to retire and passing the torch of protecting his nation to someone new, while still set up plans to protect it by working with the enemy.
I just cant believe that this is what they cooked up after giving us one of the best story in gaming with Fontaine archon quest. It made me feel like the dev is slowly losing their passion for Genshin, and just basically create the safest, simpliest archon quest possible to meet internal deadlines, and no longer try to make something great anymore.
I stay with the game this long because I honestly feel like the game have alot of heart when it started out. Character like timmie and stanley are still remembered by people till this day because the dev put love and care into those character, moment like paimon ehe nandayo felt like the writer really having fun with the dialogue. Now we got celebration sequence like dancing and giving signature that basically the game telling me that I should feel proud of my achievement instead of trying to convince me via story telling. It felt lazy and uninspired, and dare I say, felt like spite from the dev to the team leader, doing the bare minimum to fit the required "celebratory scene" required in production. It just kills my motivation of trying to keep playing this game because if they treat the main quest like this, how can I trust them to respect my time with other content in the game?

This was the best picture I could get, but I think her eyes are really pretty. I also tease her about how they look like lemons XD hopefully this is heterochromia, I think it looks like it. (Yellow on the inside, blue on the outside.)

2025.01.19 03:54 Shizen666 Looking to pick my first printer
I’m struggling to figure out what I should buy, I did some research and it look like the elegoo mars 5 is something should do the job but someone say have some flaws and it’s not good for what I need. Plus I read it’s close to be discontinued and the screen (?) would be difficult to find in future.
I need the smallest printer possible, I don’t have much space and I have to print like 4x4 cm max. But with higher detail as possible
If you have something in mind that I should check would be very helpful

2025.01.19 03:54 ultimatejourney Hello OC brethren
I have OCD but not OCPD (as far as I know) but I do also have some of that “need for control” due to autism/anxiety I guess. Anyways I heard once that the difference was basically that ocd causes the sufferer to be miserable, but that ocpd causes the people around the sufferer to be miserable. But tonight I got to wondering - sometimes my ocd symptoms make other people miserable, so now I’m wondering if people with ocpd feel miserable due to their symptoms - the “OC” part I mean. And if y’all do, in that case, do you think it’s actually a separate disorder?

2025.01.19 03:54 Upstream9 [in progress] I need help with mixing a Folk song
Hello, I hope everyone is doing well! I'm mixing a song with strings and vocals; right now I'm stuck with the instruments sounding much louder than the voice, to the point that it's drowning the main vocal. And it´s hard to differenciate the strings from one to another. If anyone could help me, I would be forever in debt. Thank you so much in advance!

2025.01.19 03:54 Petiteturtle Help with CT / General Pain Management
Hi all, I had the stomach flu at the end of December through the first few days of January. It was pretty bad and ultimately the dehydration ended up causing what my doctor thinks is a kidney stone. Basically on Monday evening I had a nauseating amount of pain on my left side near my hip that radiated towards my lower back. I called my doctor and she said if it got worse to go to the ER.
I was able to sleep through the night and get blood work/a urine test the next day, which showed blood and white blood cells in my urine which is a sign it’s a kidney stone. She ordered a CT which I got on Thursday but I still haven’t heard back with the results. The pain is manageable but incredibly uncomfortable. I have my CT scan images and I’m wondering if anyone is able to help take a look at them to see if it actually is a kidney stone.
In the meantime, does anyone have any tips for the pain management? I’m just so uncomfortable.

2025.01.19 03:54 BathroomUpbeat1074 [The Breakfast Club] Babification
Now, here's a pretty interesting idea I thought of, and I want you to help me with. In a Breakfast Club continuation fanfic I'm writing with a friend, there's a part at the end of Chapter 5 where Brian asks the hypothetical question of, "Would we be where we are now if we'd been serving detention in Kindergarten the day we met?" Now, this is initially played as a joke referencing Muppet Babies and then we move on, but I want to know how you guys would answer Brian's question. So answer away!

2025.01.19 03:54 JeremyBearimyCare4Me 37 [R4F] - #Online / #LosAngeles / #Reno - Let's Become More Adventurous
Hey there.
I travel between the California / Nevada areas (L.A. & Reno, mostly). It'd be awesome if yo're located anywhere near those places. But it's not a requirement.
I'm really just looking to make a connection with someone. Something real. Something that could become romantic one day perhaps.
Oh, and just to clarify, I am a cis male but I prefer they/them pronouns (he/him is still okay).
Anyway, here we go!
* * * * \*
(Intro)
I Am:
-a Leo.
-a Rabbit.
-an INTP.
-a Ravenclaw.
-a writer.
-a music lover.
-a nerd.
-a homebody.
-a gamer.
-a roleplayer.
-a smartypants.
-a silly goose.
-a hopeless romantic.
-a sexual being.
-a realist.
-a pragmatist.
-a feminist.
-an ally.
-an animal lover.
-an environmentalist.
-a country mouse and a city mouse.
-medicated.
-a comedy/improv fan.
-a podcast listener.
-a lover of television & film.
-a tabletop gamer.
-a binge-watcher.
-a shower-singer.
-a list-maker.
-an over-sharer.
-a gentleman and a scholar.
-a lover, not a fighter.
-a collection of contradictions, inconsistencies, and hyperbole.
-a good person, I think.
* * * * \*
(About Me)
I'm a considerate person and a big believer in the strength of diversity. I like broadening my horizons and getting to know folks that are entirely different from me. I want to experience new things with new people.
I mean, let's get on the same page re: the important stuff. Like, be a decent person. Be progressive. Choose to be/do good even when life's hard. And keep trying. If you check those boxes, then just be who you are and I'll be happy.
I think communication is crucial in any kind of relationship. And because I also believe in putting my money where my mouth is, I'm gonna be real with you here.
So, the thing is, I've got me some medical issues- mostly vision-related. I know not everyone is cool talking about this sort of thing, but bare with me if you can. So, at one point, I was legally blind. And while I *am* doing better now, it's cost me quite a bit of time. I've missed out on a lot, actually. This is just how my life has been and I've made my peace with that.
But I want more.
I want to be where the people are.
See, I have *adventures* coming my way- I've got me some catching *up* to do. I'm tired of waiting, and I'm done letting forces beyond my control keep me from living my dang life already.
So I'm gonna try. I'm getting back out there. And we'll see what happens.
This is gonna be a... fascinating transition.
So I've only got one question for you:
Wanna be a part of it?
* * * * \*
(About You)
I'm looking for a good person who cares about people who are different from them (without tolerating intolerance). Top three qualities I'm looking for: strength, kindness, intelligence.
* * * * \*
(Interests)
Story/character, animals, podcasts, improv, videogames, board games, D&D, Pokemon, Dropout, Maximum Fun, ASMR, Conan O'Brien, progressive politics, sex, and mental health.
There are more, but I'm kinda pushin' it already with the word limit, aren't I?
* * * * \*
(Reaching Out)
Message me if there's something you'd like to share with me. Like I said, I've got a lot of living to do. And I kinda wanna see it all.
So what's something you love that you wish more people knew about? What's something I should *definitely* be sure to try? What's something new *you* wanna try?
And if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask. But be warned. If you want to be with someone who represses their feelings and emotions, you'd best look elsewhere.
I'm pretty much an open book at this point.
So be careful what you ask me because I *will* answer.
* * * * \*
(One More Thing)
Before I go, I wanted to share something with you. I make a lot of playlists (if we get to know each other, you'll likely get one- if you're good). So I made one to try to introduce myself to others through music. I don't really know how to put it into words (which is sad because I write professionally), but I feel like, if you listen to this, you'll know me. Somehow.
spoti.fi/4eTcFyF
If you've made it this far, you've definitely earned a treat. So give that playlist a listen. You might just find something you didn't know you were looking for.
: ]
Be well.
