The issue of melanin (or lack thereof) has been controversial since Sumeru region dropped, and judging by the recent teasers for the upcoming Natlan, it seems like the Genshin Impact team and/or HoYoverse still do not understand/care why many people have an issue with the character designs.

tl;dr: Genshin Impact team and HoYoverse, please consider redesigning Natlan characters with respect to their originating cultures, e.g. include playable and non-playable characters with dark/brown skin tones.

I have written countless feedback to Genshin Impact team over the years with regards to diversity through their in-game surveys. Taking inspiration from Anilyan and June Yoon, today I've decided to also email Genshin Impact team regarding this issue based on their messages.

Feel free to use my/Anilyan/June Yoon's messages as a template - make adjustments to suit your situation. My message: http://tiny.cc/natlan

ADHD is a huge reason why I'm anxious most of the time, e.g. embarrassing myself for mixing up words, can't remember things, get distracted/overwhelmed. Sometimes I just laugh it off, but when you have an 'invisible' disability, people really don't take it/you and your struggles seriously.

I've tried many times, but I can't handle multiple conversations simultaneously, especially when it's purely verbal.

There's a reason I watch all videos/shows with cc on, even if I understand the language(s) used. It's an auditory processing issue. Also an ADHD thing.

Maybe this is why I'm an introvert. Juggling too many things/interactions is overwhelming. Trying to pay attention to too many things/people is overstimulating, my stressed brain goes into overdrive. All this is to say, I'm trying not to feel like a bad person for not being normal.

I don't have a goal for streaming, but it is one of my fav ways to chill online, and it's nice catching up with friends while I play stuff. Like going to your friend's and play games on their beanbag while they do their own thing. I just want a low stress hang out, ykwim?

Elli is a single-player adventure game where you chase down the mysterious Ghasti who has stolen something from you, while solving puzzles and collecting items along the way.

Tbh, I adore this game. But after playing this for a few hours (mostly in frustration), I decided to drop it.
