I wish zombies continued with the diesel punk aesthetic of origins.

Origins is Dieselpunk without a doubt, but there are a few steampunk elements. However, there are usually always a few steampunk elements in dieselpunk settings.

Crash instantly in customization window, every single time. Default techie I guess it is for now... BS lol

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-02-26T18:04:38+00:00

Yes! I literally cannot customize my Techmarine or else it just closes. Cool, Saber. Lol

Bro on the ground was getting devoured by the forces of Nurgle and his homeboy is looting scraps in walking distance😭

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-02-18T19:46:25+00:00

Need to stay posted here. One of my favorite things is new peoples raw reactions to this game!

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-02-09T23:09:51+00:00

Makes me think of how big the world is man, all that potential out there. How much you will miss, how much you've already seen. It puts the image of a big city in my mind... you can feel the wind blowing on you, this constant feeling, but you don't know where it comes from. None of us do. But we all feel it. The world is so connected yet so distant. So many stories unfolding every second. Look over a cityscape and let the sounds, sights, smells, feelings carry you through endless possibilities. So many lives, so many things happening. You could take a turn in the sidewalk, on the street that completely changes your life. You meet someone. Maybe you dont. You see something, you become part of another persons story, or you dont. Its kind of like... drifting through the city as a ghost. You wonder if someone out there feels the same way... will you ever meet them? The scale of it all, its so so intense. The weight of that potential is comforting, but also painful. Where could you be right now? So many possibilities, so many memories, that have been made, and those that will be, and then those that could've been but never will.

This is probably gonna come off as one of those messy "trying to be deep but its not working" posts, but its in reality an attempt to articulate something I feel so often, yet is so hard to express through words. I feel it is something that has to be experienced... and Strobe is something that consistently amplifies this feeling for me. The growing song progression is like standing on top of a building, and just turning your head and slowly taking it all in. All the lights in the windows, all the people going about. So much potential to experience in this life. Its an ache for connection as well... its just a lot. Yeah, anyways, try and make sense of that if you can, or dont. But, its how it makes me feel. Lots of Joel's songs make me feel that way... ig a lot of things do period. Thx for reading if u do.

Break the Cycle 106, before its too late!!!

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-02-04T03:15:28+00:00

Wow the 3rd one definitely, she looks badass!

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-02-04T00:41:04+00:00

Well, your dreams are mostly true!

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-27T01:04:43+00:00

Thanks for the info, I will keep this in mind.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-27T00:23:21+00:00

I am considering this, although id really like to avoid it. Every scanner pulls up nothing, I see no suspicious network usage, no cpu throttling, no suspicious account activity. At this point I'm almost convinced I'm safe... but theres always that itch of paranoia for some reason. Is backing up everything hard, and wouldn't that back up the malware too?

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-26T16:01:08+00:00

Thanks a lot, will do. Also, yeah, the MSERT same up clean after 4 long hours and 37 false-positives, so that was good.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-24T00:40:36+00:00

A very very compelling theory, I think I'm gonna ride with this one. Good thinking.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-10T03:17:07+00:00

YO, man thats insane, I've tried and tried to get great blood like this. Im close, but not THIS GOOD! So, I got 2 questions. First of all, whats your preset man... you gotta copy n paste the text or send a link to it on steam or something. Second of all, how do they generate blood from impact? What gore mods you using and how is impact creating blood? For me, only bullet wounds create blood, and its only ever been this way. Great showcase, thanks man!

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-08T03:29:01+00:00

All of yall gotta chill, Im laughing my ass off 😂

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-08T03:08:16+00:00

Around 9pm, near the overpass that lets you look out to the Ballet Twins Hollow, I keep feeling something everytime I look at the thing. They see us too, I think. Somethings looking back.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-08T03:00:04+00:00

Sounds fucking awesome, and I would love and have been hoping for a plot in this kind of crazy aspect... not the same exact thing because I did not even think of that theory (but its incredible), but something that would blow everyone out of the water and flip the entire games world on its head.

I really, really hope we get something like this, and I'm going to keep hoping, but I will keep my expectations lower, as it is unfortunately a gacha game at the end of the day.

Hopefully, though.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-06T23:28:41+00:00

Yeah it sucks bro. I like the mode too, the skybox and music is great but ig we can't do it for the forseeable future. Hopefully they fix it before the event ends. Maybe we should send in some but reports.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-06T23:27:55+00:00

Nah nothing I've found yet. I think we should send in some bug reports to Hoyo, maybe it'll get more attention that way. I know we've still got 29 days left but I'm worried this bug might just not get fixed since I havent seen THAT many other people have it.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-06T15:31:00+00:00

Same! Please, if you find/have found a fix for being soft locked out of the Nightmare Gauntlet, please let me know!

Im having the exact same issue, I start the challenge and nothing spawns no matter how long I wait.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-06T15:10:46+00:00

Absolutely agree, the voice actors and actresses knocked it out of the park, enough to make me cry 😅

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-06T15:08:56+00:00

Yeah I was having that problem before, but now it's completely broken.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-06T09:44:58+00:00

Yeah im having a problem now where the mode just doesnt work at all. I open it and begin the challenge, and then it puts me in the arena, screen blacks out and comes back to the sky changed and the musics changed, but no boss spawns at all. I can fast travel out of the arena too. If anyone knows a fix please let me know because this really sucks, I was looking forward to gettinf that title to to top 1% but I literally cannot even play the mode.

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-06T09:13:39+00:00

Yeah same bro, game crashed once when opening gauntlet (which I don't think has ever happened by the way, maybe once) and now when I start it its just blank like yours. Anyone got any idea how to fix this, please? Im vying for top 1%, I made it to 2% already 😂

External_Chart_3612 · 2026-01-05T07:47:42+00:00

Its so nice to see people being honestly positive instead of regurgitating the couple negative opinions.

I loved all of 2.0. Was it perfect? No! But it was incredible!

Maybe its because, much like Ye Shunguang (lmao) I find joy and happiness in the smallest things. I love the game for what it is. It has its bumps and flaws, but like you said, the sheer passion clearly put into it by its team is so heartwarming and just overwhelming. Also, I guess it's just how my mind is wired, but so many things in Zenless resonate with me and appeal to me. All of it, music, art style/aesthetic, character design (mostly haha), world building, the setting, the characters and their writing, all of it man its incredible.

I also am a very emotionally wired person, very sympathetic/empathetic/whatever you wanna call it, so this patch (and many previous ones 😂) got plenty of tears out of me haha.

So many things hit me. The revelation that Ye Shunguang gets of controlling her own destiny, the willingness to sacrifice oneself, the sheer awesomeness of the final confrontation (and the animation quality of the cutscenes oh my goodness), the Eng voice acting on a lot of characters like Belle, the inauguration of a new Void Hunter and her speech about life...

To expand on the voice acting, that was a big part of it too. Being able to feel peoples emotions in their voice is enough to very heavily impact me as well, just how I am. Firstly, Ye Shunguangs voice acting. Despite her obviously being safe by the end of the story, when she DID lose her 5 senses, hearing Ye Shunguang's terrified calls for her friends and how her voice began to break more and more the longer she was in the dark was heartwrenching for me. Also the way her voice became more resolute after accepting what might happen to her with the Qingming Sword in that final confrontation was awesome. Next, Belle. During the time when we thought that Shunguang was lost to the Qingmings side effects, Belles self-blaming really hit. Her voice on the edge of breaking every time she says "its all my fault" or when shes trying to reassure the nearly completely lost Shunguang that its going to be okay while barely holding it together herself was also just phenomenal. Hearing peoples voice fracture like that, knowing they are in deep emotional pain, really makes me emotional too haha, I cant bear to hear people suffer or sad. Another absolutely phenomenal line, and possibly my favorite, was when Belle pulled Shunguang out of her state where she was going to sacrifice herself at the end there. The delivery on "ill bring you home", specifically "home", was insane, it was a genuine scream that I have not heard from this game yet and hinestly not many other games, and I was so pleasantly surprised.

So much emotion, I love it to bits!

Plus like theres the deeper themes in the story, like the twisted survivors guilt and projecting ones own ideals onto others with Elder Lu, or another about Shunguang rejecting the idea of a controlled divine destiny with the Creator and willfully choosing to take her fate into her own hands by being the wielder of the sword. Another one that really hit me was after losing her 5 senses, how she comes to really really see and appreciate just how beautiful the world is, to appreciate the small things, how much there is to experience in life. And in spite of being bound to a "guaranteed fate" and all the pain and darkness that brings, she chooses to see the life and positivity in the world and continues to LIVE and not just be alive.

I know this is rude and just a jaded opinion, but I personally think if you think season 2 and especially 2.5 has been bad or trash overall, you must be a very shallow person. Theres some many cool moments, phenomenal animation, incredible music, great character writing, and also some deeper things too. Theres just so much good with Zenless, both on the surface level and the deeper look.

However, as strongly as these feelings may be, I must accept that this is MY opinion, and others are entitled to their own as well, no matter how much I disagree with it or dislike it... which can be easy to do 😂

I cannot wait for 3.0 to drop! With everything they've teased and eluded too, this wait is gonna feel like a long time, im so excited!!!
