Visible Confusion is a cosmetic.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

To obtain Visual Confusion, a rescue with Cursed Dice must fail while either a Curse of Blindness is active or the Blindfold cosmetic is equipped. When obtained, the following text is shown after the Cursed Dice fail message:

Or at least, that's what you think happened. You can't really see.
💫 visible confusion (view your cosmetics with /cosmetics)

Effects[edit | edit source]

Who cares what gets rescued, all animals look the same anyways.

— In-game description

Randomizes flavor text in these scenarios:

Flavor text is only chosen from the appropriate “pool”, such that e.g. exchange quotes cannot be displayed when rescuing an animal. Trophies are excluded when choosing flavor text for a cosmetic.[1]

A 💫 emoji is placed before the flavor text of items and cosmetics. When the randomized flavor text happens to be identical to the regular flavor text, the 💫 emoji is left out.[2]

The 😵‍💫 emoji is displayed next to the player's name in most commands and when trading. Embed footers, which don't allow certain emojis, display the 💫 emoji instead.

    @desticler: About visible confusion, is there a chance that the randomly picked quote is actually the one that's supposed to be there normally? Because I believe it happened when I used an item, the flavor text was normal and the 💫 wasn't there […]
    @colon: Yes that's intended

    🧽 Sponge (cosmetic)
    Randomizes the rescue's flavored text. So now the pun makes less sense
