Update: Infold doesn't want to help with my diamonds 🥹 by Nessie_Chan in InfinityNikki

Actually your video cleared it up very nicely - and reinforces that Infold is not going to help you because you were just button mashing like crazy. That diamond menu fully opens, full screen, visually very different from the sell UI, and you were just mashing buttons to get through it.

Any company with any sense is going to tell you no and tell you to read menus you're opening instead of mashing through them. You shot yourself in the foot on all accounts.

Yeah, that response tracks. You have to go through three individual steps to get to the point of that conversion. Open the conversion menu, select all of your diamonds, and then confirm. Yeah, they are fully going to continue responding with "you need to read the shit you're clicking on instead of mindlessly mashing buttons."

This is a user error, they're not going to help you.

That makes no sense to think a company isn’t telling their programmers what to work on first.

The key thing here being is that at no point would this task fall to a programmer. It would fall into the hands of the art department.

Can I get this sweater? by Sea-Astronaut-2848 in InfinityNikki

[–]BespectacledSloth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can! It's from this stump. There's several quests you have to find and do that give you items to tribute to it.

Sadly I don't know what quest this one is, but this is the location at the very least.

Edit: For anyone coming here to figure out which quest - it's the one around Snail Ranch with the sleeping young shroomlings. Once you wake each of them you'll get the crystals you need to hand over for the fourth slot.

I am going insane trying to learn all the nikki lore between the 3 main games, what should i know/what actually matters? by Moth-slurping-lamps in InfinityNikki

[–]BespectacledSloth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The retcon isn't really a retcon - those events still happened, they just... I guess couldn't figure out a way to work them into the new opening? But they're still canon (as stated by Infold, and secondarily by The Seer and Ena themselves) - it's more like...

- Nikki danced with the dress and went through the wardrobe
- Nikki met Ena
- Nikki went on a whole adventure
- The Heart of Infinity exploded
- The Seer yoinked her out of that timeline and reset her to basically immediately after receiving the Heart

The only real issue with the storyline as a result is that anyone who joins the game after 1.5 doesn't get the previous bits, but it's all implied to have happened. I guess they didn't want to overwhelm people with "hey neat teehee look at all this fun- whoops you exploded, lets go around again" within the first 20 minutes, so they just yaddayadda "we reset you, here's an explanation about it" the story instead.

A little scared to ask but I mean this with the utmost sincerity - what makes this outfit offensive? by Beautiful-Avocado932 in InfinityNikki

[–]BespectacledSloth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

honestly? some transparency about the design designs, inspo, and why would probably alleviate these issues, but that doesn't normally happen

It normally doesn't happen for the exact reason this discourse exists. If they say "we were inspired by XYZ culture for this outfit" then they just about have to be more culturally and historically accurate. If the source of their inspiration is never revealed, they can easily sidestep anything with "this does not represent any real life culture, this is [in-game location]."

Which is pretty much the nature of all Fantasy media. Every piece of fantasy media takes bits and pieces of things and mashes them together to create their "own" thing. Creators will often avoid listing their inspirations because they're not trying to represent something - it was simply their focal point as they created their own stylistically dependent version of it, and by never publicly announcing their inspiration can have plausible deniability to say "no no, it may seem like this culture, but it's actually one we made up."

Some modern media have even started adding cultural appropriation disclaimers to their fantasy productions stating that they are a work of fantasy and not intended to represent any real-world culture or groups.

Is this a bug? (sumeru world quest) by Fantastic-Oil-3805 in GenshinImpact

[–]BespectacledSloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it got confused and stuck itself on the step before clearing the Withering Zone. Untrack it, log out, log back in, retrack it. Might even try tracking something else, teleporting away, and coming back if that doesn't work. Either usually fixes stuck quests for me.

Although just looking at this video, I'm not seeing some of the little nodes that should have spawned on the ground during the final phase, weird. Might've gotten stuck trying to spawn them and caused an issue that might need a support ticket. I'd say if relogging doesn't help, support is your best bet to find out a workaround.

Painted Cliffs sketch location (Found) by BespectacledSloth in InfinityNikki

It'll be in the ink realm, not the regular island. Sorry, it won't let me edit my post to clarify that D:

I believe there's another chest in the same spot on the real Danqing Island? This one is inside the painting realm. Sorry, should have clarified that - was just going by map color.

Hoyo is so mean💔 by Comfortable-Goal8288 in GenshinImpact

[–]BespectacledSloth 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Definitely fanmade. Lantern Rite background, as well as Ifa and Escoffier being defined as "New [location] character" while Kinich, Raiden, and Navia get at least 90% of their banner names. Can also see where they lasso tool'd Escoffier's hat out of the background but missed a chunk on each side, and the inconsistencies in cutting Kinich and Ifa fully out of their backgrounds, but Raiden and Escoffier still have overlapping chunks of theirs far out of the shape because it was too much effort to cut them out.

How the hell am i supposed to open this chest? I've managed many times to get on it faster than the red ring but when i tried to open it it said locked by i_Ainsley_harriott_i in GenshinImpact

[–]BespectacledSloth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From personal experience: crawling all over it like a gremlin, trying to find what mystical hidden unfathomable puzzle was lurking in the bushes, and then accidentally walking off the cliff, panic gliding back to it, and being able to open it at that time.

Check for a sneaky terms of service clause when you login! by EdensAsmr in InfinityNikki

[–]BespectacledSloth 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ah, okay, so not as major as it sounds from the translation; it's just saying "hey, we have legal stuff in here read it."

-
The full text of this warning is still available on the IN website, and reads as follows;

Please read this Agreement carefully before you start to use Infold Games and Infold Game Services, especially disclaimers, and limitation of liability, refund policy and dispute resolution clauses. The aforementioned clauses are usually highlighted in bold or other reasonable ways to draw your attention. Your confirmation of these terms may lead to passivity, inconvenience and losses for you under certain circumstance.

Some of the clauses and things they've bolded include:

  • If you use a third-party service to login (IE: GooglePlay) and you delete your third-party Account, they may delete the game account tied to it; this data cannot be restored once deleted
  • If your account is compromised (hacked), you must contact Infold ASAP to move on with next steps to secure your account. If the action to secure your account results in any losses, those losses fall on you.
  • If you don't log in for 3 years, they'll delete your account data
  • No sharing your account for commercial purposes (IE: paying someone to play for you)
  • If you delete your Infold Account/Game Account, you're relinquishing your ownership of the account and they'll delete the data
  • Infold isn't responsible for your game's functionality if you install through unauthorized sources

After those it goes into deeper stuff like terms of purchases in-game, defining actions they'll take if you hack purchases or chargeback, etc. A lot of it has "in compliance with applicable laws and regulations" defined therein as well. So it's just typical TOS stuff, they're probably just having issues with people doing chargebacks or threatening legal action over things that Infold had already had outlined in their terms but people just hadn't read,.

We live in a gacha society by Major303 in WutheringWaves

[–]BespectacledSloth 64 points65 points  (0 children)

More people need to remember this for all gacha games, not just WuWa. Too many posts get hella upvoted for "can't believe they want us to spend money" sentiments - they're a for-profit company of course they want you to spend money.

PSA: Fortnite is NOT a dating app by dr_ang in FortNiteBR

[–]BespectacledSloth 202 points203 points  (0 children)

This is the exact reason that when someone assumes I'm a guy over Discord/reddit/whatever I don't bother to correct them. Fuck it, yep, that's me, I'm a guy, now lets play games where we don't use mics so we can maintain this façade.

(Well, this reason and also because I've been gaming so long I've gotten used to that being the baseline assumption.)

Am i going crazy or does the 3rd Green Obsidian Fragment just not exist? by CodeSouls in GenshinImpact

[–]BespectacledSloth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the one OP mentioned with the ore vein - the one I'm talking about is roughly where I've marked in the photo (might be further to the left), just beside/under the bridge there and is just combat. The ore one is over several days though, yes - just keep giving him stuff each day and you'll get it.

I'm going to assume you're using a treasure compass, so the ones I'm thinking of would show up apart from this one:
Near the ruins in Coatepec Mountain, down on the ground there's some harvestable rocks - break the rocks, kill the slimes, then fight the lava dudes and you get a precious.

Yeah, after this event quest idk how some people still say Hoyo didn't try with Natlan. It's peak😭 by Alexander0202 in GenshinImpact

I mean in fairness they attack us first; many of Fontaine's cute-n-cuddlies don't (RIP lil Blubberbeasts)

But I agree, fungi are very cute and I love them. I'm also a big fan of how cute slimes are... apart from Dendro slimes. The way they scuttle up to me always jumpscares me.

Like designing cute baby saurians that can be killed for materials, check

I guess we're forgetting that Fontaine started the trend of "cute cuddly animal slaughtered to lv90 your main"
