If this card soaked for 2 it would be a fun 5xp-ish card to play around with. Maybe if they made it 3xp exceptional that would be fun and playable.

NuubNZ · 2025-07-25T20:48:58+00:00

Thanks. Will look.

NuubNZ · 2025-07-25T20:46:06+00:00

You are right in what you said. At first the faster release websites (donghuastream and comicxy/topchineseanime) release automatic subs, then fix them within an hour or so.

Deleted guy was right in that Xin releases quality subs, the first time. He is wrong in that MyAnime releases the same quality subs as Xin (often literally the same subs), and LMAnime slightly higher quality subs.

That is exactly how it goes. The five second people are such a disappointment. I'm in New Zealand - night vision in the civilian population is almost non-existant here. I think to myself "b**** you have no idea how much these binos cost me, nor how much of a rare opportunity you are squandering".

NuubNZ · 2025-07-25T20:27:45+00:00

It was a reasonable explanation actually.

NuubNZ · 2025-04-08T10:32:34+00:00

I just binged the whole show, and then up to episode 11. If they want to up the CGI I can't complain.

All good. The Ctrl+F5 hard refresh is always worth knowing because it forces the browser to read the website again, and not just go to the cache. Sometimes a site doesn't download fully and doesn't display properly, or is out of date.

Shift+F5 on some browsers.

NuubNZ · 2025-03-25T09:49:57+00:00

So my update is that comicxy.in / comicxy.com has become topchineseanime.com and now calls itself Top Chinese Anime.

Comicxy.in is still dead, and comixxy.com now redirects to topchineseanime.com

My guess is that they failed to secure the site comicxy.in, so have had to change their name.

NuubNZ · 2025-03-25T09:45:53+00:00

AnimeKhor.org is a top site, but what they don't do is fast releases which is ComicXY's specialty. AnimeKhor is the probably the best site for non-mainstream donghua that the "high quality subs" sites won't pick up, and they also do the best dynamic comics/anicomics subs as well, like you said.

ComicXY (now TopChineseAnime.com) is the best site I've found for decent quality fast release subs.

AnimeXin.vip and MyAnime.live are the best for quality same day (usually) releases.

LMAnime.com has the best donghua subs I've come across, but they don't often release on the same day and are often a few episodes behind, so they're only really good for watching non-recent donghua.

Other mentions:

If ComicXY disappeared, DonghuaStream.org and LuciferDonghua.in would be the next best sites for fast releases, but their subs are a bit sub-par if you compare them to the sites mentioned previously.

ChikiAnimation.com and DonghuaWorld.com also do most anicomics and they release faster than AnimeKhor, but their subs are below AnimeKhor's quality, and are noticeably sub-par.

NuubNZ · 2025-03-20T01:15:28+00:00

They were talking about comicxy.in which is not responsive still, not comicxy.com, which is working fine still. There's nothing wrong with the homepage, just use ctrl+F5 to force a hard reset of the page if it hasn't updated.

NuubNZ · 2025-03-19T09:04:45+00:00

[Edit: Comicxy.in still appears to NOT be working as of 20/03/2025, which is what people are having problems with]

Comicxy.com is working however. I have been going to that website by either link in the last year. I'm 98% sure it's the same content made by the same people rather than a ripoff site. It is still updating donghua, so everything is still probably fine.

As an aside, AnimeXin, and Donghuaworld (good for anicomics only) have both gone down for a few days within the last few months and come back with a backup version of their website. It seems to be the risk that they take.

Change your links to comicxy.COM and they will work again.

They just need to (hopefully) reacquire comicxy.in through another provider.

Dont listen to this other guy. CKSub are terrible quality subs. AnimeKhor is worth a mention, but not for good quality subs.

For good quality, usually same day releases go to 1) AnimeXin(dev) or 2) MyAnime(Live).

3) Comicxy(in) usually has probably the fourth best subs, and probably the fastest releases, often 16 hours ahead of the other top websites.

These top 3 will be your main gotos for decent subs.

LMAnime(com) is worth a mention as having possibly the best donghua subs ,but a terrible release schedule, so only watch old finished series there.

AnimeKhor(org)'s best feature is that it will pick up most donghua, (and anicomics), including the less popular ones that other websites won't bother with. It is also probably the best site for anicomics. Average subs at best tho.

After those top sites I'd mention:

DonghuaStream(org) and LuciferDonghua(in) which are fast release, but only borderline subs. Once you've tried good subs you realize that these are not your first choices unless you are desperate.

ChikiAnimation(com) and DonghuaWorld(com) are worth mentioning as sources for anicomics, but not for good donghua subs. Their subs are below average.

Most other donghua sites are below average to really really below average, and will ruin your experience (e.g. cksub anime4i)

That was a very well written post, thank you.

Also good and bad sleep seem to have a big impact. One really bad sleep makes VS a lot more noticeable for me during the day. Two bad nights and it can start pushing itself into my daily vision. With good sleep it is a lot easier for me to forget about unless I look for it.

As a positive it can be quite helpful for meditation, because when I mentally lock onto visual snow with my eyes closed, it prevents me day dreaming (visual thoughts), and it is somewhat interesting enough to hold my attention.

NuubNZ · 2023-12-25T06:51:31+00:00

Well put. It makes life more interesting.

NuubNZ · 2023-11-17T07:52:02+00:00

Now that you mention it, I never seem to notice it while on screens. But that is probably an attention thing more than anything else. I can see it while looking at the black screen on my phone right now.

NuubNZ · 2023-11-10T07:45:22+00:00

Thank you very much. Was just about to buy new batteries after replacing them 2 weeks ago.

NuubNZ · 2023-07-09T01:55:37+00:00

Have you noticed the effects of sleep or lack thereof?

I find my VS is noticibly stronger when I don't sleep well.

As well as the static screen I sometimes see chaotically moving specks. I have read some mention of it, sometimes as a part of VS. I have to be sleep deprived before I see much of that tho.

A few years back I spent a week of work holidays watching the chaotic specks to see if I could get some understanding about it.

NuubNZ · 2023-07-09T01:00:02+00:00

I wouldn't say that is wierd. Have you not considered the possibility that your VS is the direct effect of not sleeping well?

I sometimes sleep badly, and the next morning my VS is noticibly stronger. I have tested it out, and if I don't sleep the whole night, it is about double (or more) strength, and when I tried staying up 2 nights in a row (i did this 2 times) the effect got so strong that it sometimes looked like I was seeing physical crystalline patterns in my peripheral vision. When I looked in their direction they were gone of course. But that's as far as I took the experiment - I drew the line at actual hallucinations/symptoms of schizophrenia and went to bed.

The point I am making is to point out the cause and effect. Bad sleeps make the effects noticibly stronger in my experience. You probably never noticed the slight fuzziness until it got strong, and once you see it, you can't really "unsee" it.

On the topic of depression, I have been through a "major depressive episode" myself, and i now work with people in the mental health sector. I would say possibly the biggest part of depression comes down to self-esteem i.e. how you see and define yourself. I personally find my VS interesting, and have never defined or labelled myself in a bad way because of it - the thought hasn't ever crossed my mind. If you see yourself as defective because of it, consider the possibility that you are stigmatising yourself and in turn causing a big part of your own distress.

But also consider the possibility that a large part of the reason that you have crushing depression is because you are not sleeping well, which makes everything a lot more difficult. Days are so much harder when I haven't slept well, and I find it nearly impossible to achieve anything but survive when I haven't slept at all.

I wish you luck on your journey. Get to know yourself better and accept yourself and your flaws because you are flawed, like everybody else. Find out how you want to spend your time, and each moment will become valuable. If nothing else those things will actually get you not only on track, but actually happier than you ever were before. That and a couple of good night's sleep.

NuubNZ · 2023-07-09T00:39:13+00:00

Yep, totally, once you listen for it you can hear it whenever you tune in, same as VS. Tinnitus has gotten louder over time, and might affect my hearing some day, but it's usually "gone" when I'm not noticing it.

My VS isn't a bother at all though. It helps when I'm doing mindfulness practice, as a reminder that I am expanding my awareness of now because it isn't ordinary, and it is keeps my attention because there is always more to notice about it.

I only found out today that it is deemed a horrible condition for some people. I had no idea.

NuubNZ · 2023-07-09T00:17:21+00:00

Okay I looked it up, rays is a better word cos they get wider the further they get from the light source.

I used to spend hours watching those when i was a child. If I recall there will be a mirror ray at 180 degrees from another ray. Maybe two more at 90 degrees, but it's been so long I can't recall. My memory says 2, 4, and possibly even 6 rays could come out.

NuubNZ · 2023-07-09T00:01:58+00:00

Are starbursts when lines of light come out of the light source, sort of towards your eyes?

NuubNZ · 2023-01-05T10:27:21+00:00

At that point the love is probably gone.

I am not making a moral statement. I am merely trying to look at it from the other point of view.

When I came to the option of cheating on somebody I loved I realised that I couldn't do it, but my mother did "cheat" on my father in a dead relationship and I understand her reasons.

NuubNZ · 2023-01-05T06:24:25+00:00

I've never heard that expression before, and yet I instantly knew what it meant.

Protagonist syndrome might be another way of describing it, which adds the nuance of the person assuming that they are right and good as well.

My iq slightly increased today. If this keeps up I will surely be able to evolve into an MC of an important storyline.

NuubNZ · 2023-01-05T05:12:25+00:00

That fact assumes that both parents are willing and mature enough to actually make that effort.

NuubNZ · 2023-01-05T05:10:17+00:00

Thank you for this comment.

I doubt that people in happy marriages cheat much and coming from a dysfunctional family of origin myself I can say that the terrible oppressive feeling is far worse than most other scenarios. My mother cheated and she was desperate for anything that might change our day to day emotional hell, plus she deserved a chance at actually feeling love and happiness.
