Alright, so I stumbled upon this thing called “r genshinleaks” and, man, it’s a rabbit hole. Let me tell you how I got into it and what I found.
It all started because, well, I’m a huge Genshin Impact fan. I’m always looking for the next bit of news, the next character, you know? So, I was searching around, probably on some forum or other, and someone mentioned “r genshinleaks”. My ears perked up.
Digging In
First thing I did was, obviously, search for it. Found it pretty easily, it’s a subreddit. When I first opened it, I was a little overwhelmed. There was a LOT of stuff, a mix of pictures, text posts, and just… speculation, I guess?
I started scrolling through, trying to make sense of it all. There were these abbreviations that I didn’t get at first. “STC” and “datamined”… Took me a bit to figure out “STC” means “subject to change” and “datamined” is referring to people pulling info out of the game files. Clever, but confusing at first!
I spent a good chunk of time just reading through posts. Some were clearly just people’s wishes or theories, but others… others had pictures, like, actual screenshots of characters or weapons that I’d never seen before. Some of them looked pretty rough, like they were taken with a potato, but others were surprisingly clear.
Sorting Through the Noise
It became clear pretty quickly that I needed a system. You can’t just believe everything you see there. So, I started paying more attention to the comments. People were debating, arguing, pointing out flaws in the “leaks”. It was actually kind of helpful. I learned to look for posts that had a lot of discussion and seemed more credible, or at least, had people pointing out why they weren’t credible.
- Look for discussions: The more comments, the better. It means people are actually analyzing the info.
- “STC” is your friend: Remember, everything is “subject to change”. Nothing is confirmed until the official announcement.
- Datamined stuff: Seems more reliable, but even then, it can be old or incomplete info.
- Be skeptical: Seriously, don’t get too hyped about anything until it’s official.
It took many hours to get to this point, and I’ve learned how to look for information and filter out the unconfirmed stuff.
It’s been a wild ride, and it’s still ongoing.I am still checking that “r genshinleaks” from time to time. It’s like this little secret world of unconfirmed info, and it’s addictive. But I’m keeping my expectations in check. It’s fun to speculate, but I’m not going to get too excited about anything until I see it in the actual game.
