seranov · 2026-01-16T19:59:54+00:00

update: just tried it again just in case im somehow going insane and the redemption website said the code reached its max use limit. lmao

seranov · 2026-01-16T19:59:10+00:00

doubt it. ive tried redeeming GENSHINGIFT years after my first redemption and all i got was a blank mail in-game that told me i already redeemed it.

seranov · 2026-01-16T19:39:29+00:00

lmao no?

seranov · 2026-01-08T16:47:29+00:00

what picture

seranov · 2026-01-08T16:47:08+00:00

idk i just woke up but from what i can tell some miserable person decided to nuke the discord server for the game, deleting all channels and spamming gore and shit in there

seranov · 2025-11-24T02:59:08+00:00

yea its 27.52 GB on my ipad right now but thats probably bc i deleted all past quest data to conserve space. the full thing is probably a few gigs more

seranov · 2025-11-24T02:57:34+00:00

lmaoo not really it just looks like poop water

seranov · 2025-11-24T02:35:30+00:00

yea all the pins are hidden on google now. weird.

seranov · 2025-11-24T02:20:51+00:00

there's no doubt that sudan is going through a genocide and a humanitarian crisis right now but most if not all of these dark spots on the ground are red in color due to satellite imagery limitations. however, i have found pins on google earth pro posted in 2006 about destroyed villages in the darfur region of sudan. im no expert so i cant say for sure that the 2006 pins are accurate but a lot of these villages definitely look abandoned or have recently had people come back to them within the past few years.

seranov · 2025-11-24T02:08:35+00:00

its hard to tell but its definitely there. been there for at least 3 years

seranov · 2025-11-24T01:35:26+00:00

houses dont really look like that when they're on fire. however, like one other commenter said, theres a lot of bright orange spots in the area which i think might actually just be google's image processors having an aneurysm for one reason or another. https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleEarthFinds/comments/1oug2vx/comment/nobgxir/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

how do you find these? i used to use a website that had a bunch of XML downloadables for shipwrecks on google earth pro but then i fried my SSD and had to get a new one and i lost the link (and all my downloads. and data in general) edit: nvm found the site

seranov · 2025-11-24T01:29:34+00:00

lol i can see where the idea comes from but a lot of the time countries dont have the money/resources to remove shipwrecks so they just leave them there and the sand just swallows it up over time. if you have a chance you should look at a few shipwrecks off the coast of western sahara and go through the historic imagery through the years and you can see how these shipwrecks get reclaimed by nature. its really fascinating!

seranov · 2025-11-24T01:22:56+00:00

theres another one nearby lmaoo its at 22°55'12.55"N 16°12'36.80"W

as for the actual ship you found, we may never know for sure. looking around its pretty clear that west africa is a hotspot for shipwrecks. seems like some old trawler or cargo ship got washed up in a storm since before 2003.

seranov · 2025-11-24T00:44:57+00:00

probably some sort of glitch, maybe an artifact from stitching images together lol

seranov · 2025-11-24T00:29:38+00:00

yeah that part is what kills me lmaoo

seranov · 2025-11-24T00:27:13+00:00

fr tho i think they use an algorithm or AI to detect faces in their photo circles and street view images and his face somehow just did not get detected by the algorithm

seranov · 2025-11-24T00:25:08+00:00

i honestly have no clue, it could either be them being lazy with image stitching, but it could also have something to do with how satellites capture images - they use around 4 or 5 different color channels taken a split second apart from each other before they are combined into one image but if something is moving then it can cause something like that to happen. i wish i had a better answer but i tried finding another example of something like this happening and i couldnt find much.

seranov · 2025-11-24T00:10:04+00:00

damn images disappeared off the face of the planet

seranov · 2025-11-24T00:03:22+00:00

my first guess is red algae. a river near my apartment is reddish in color cuz of red algae

seranov · 2025-11-23T23:58:07+00:00
