Dawei's speech at Genshin FES 2023 where he talked very openly about:
- Genshin's dev team being young/inexperienced & super proud of Mondstadt, but when closed beta was released the response was not they expected (Zelda plagiarism claims)
- When they finally finished Liyue in+
Holy shit my worlds collided??
Figure skater & world/Olympic medalist Alexandra Trusova (First female skater to land the quad toe, quad flip, and quad lutz jumps) cosplayed as Furina and skated alongside Vladislav Antonyshev as Neuvillette!

I'm screaminggggg 😱😱jdkdjdjd
I just realized Yaoyao having a bunny companion and being released in the upcoming 3.4/2023 Lantern Rite patch might’ve been completely planned by Hoyoverse from the start…
2023 is the Chinese Zodiac year of the rabbit!!!
// Genshin Fontaine 4.2 spoilers
WOW.
CN Genshin fans found something shocking abt the CN title of Fontaine Act V, "罪人舞步旋" (zuì rén wǔ bù xuán), or "Dance Steps of the Guilty."
Reversed, it becomes "旋步舞人罪" (xuán bù wǔ rén zuì), which is almost phonetically identical+

This hack/exploit (Using Kaveh of all characters) going on in-game feels quite serious. CN players are advising each other to not co-op with random players until Hoyoverse announces a fix.
(ICYMI, this hack enables others to delete in-game assets in your world PERMANENTLY)

I think jingliumain on Reddit gave the best and most comprehensive explanation of the 2.1/Aventurine storyline I've seen so far - I definitely missed a couple of these details until I read through their comment.
(Thank you!)

1) Feb 9th, 2018: Japanese pair skaters Suzaki Miu and Kihara Ryuichi debut their routine to the YOI theme at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. This was their short program for that season.

I felt emotional while editing this! 🥹🥹
early 2020 was when the public could finally recognize the game's potential
- Genshin was very hard to develop and had they known how difficult the journey would be, they might not have started it in the first place. But thanks to players/travelers' support they keep marching on
+ to the phrase "宣布无人罪" (xuān bù wú rén zuì), where only the inflections of the first and third characters are slightly different.
The meaning of "宣布无人罪?"
"DECLARATION: NONE ARE GUILTY."
I. HAVE. CHILLS.
Since MSBY arc likely won't get animated until 2050, here's Miyano Mamoru's "Omi" (As Taichi in Chihayafuru) spliced with "-Kun" (As Atsumu) to feed SakuAtsu fandom until then. (Idea courtesy of

Uh so, the unofficial Loid figure from TOC Studio is up for preorders with more images…🫠
There is one more I can only share on my other account - IYKYK 😆
To add:
- The team was very stressed about the early accusations, and many staff members asked Dawei tearfully back then, "How did things turn out like this?" But with their youth also came some unusual courage, so they were determined to prove themselves
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but in the CN version of Alhaitham’s Archon Quest cutscene, he’s called by the title of “书记官,” which means “secretary” or “court clerk” - some sort of official position. This did not make it into the English subtitles for some reason…
// Genshin 4.6 World Quest spoilers
Examples like this are why Genshin will always remain hard for other games to match/surpass. It will never ever be perfect, but its occasional moments of "perfection" are quite magical - even to the point of setting brand-new standards.
the quality and beauty of this world quest is INSANE it might be one of the most visually stunning quests genshin ever made and they never disappoint with the music
This line from Alhaitham in the Genshin 3.2 trailer is SO damn powerful.
The Grand Scribe officially denounces the Grand Sage!!! 😱
(Video includes all four dub languages)
- That second half of 2019 was a period of significant maturation/transformation for the dev team due to how challenging it was, and Dawei is especially thankful to the Travelers who were already around way back when

There were legit so many nice shots of them that a thread was needed…
Yuri!!! on Ice was an absolutely groundbreaking moment in anime, and still holds a Top-10 spot for most sold DVD/BDs (Average per disc) in anime history.
Proud to have followed this series during its run and cultivating so many memories through it ❤️ +
