Honkai Star Rail

Not much to say on Honkai this time as we are just really CHUGGING along the rails and its honestly just super fun. Amphoreus has been an emotional roller-coaster of course but the cast is consistently Amazing. I think its a Mark of how Amazing Honkai Star rail is that each region I am just excited to even hear two words from the characters. From the first time we played up until now every time a character utters anything its something that's hard to move on from and thats just a JOY to behold. There is so much depth in each character and Amphoreous is REALLY letting everything sit and flow at a lovely pace, I am excited every week to see what is up with Mydei, Castorice and Phainon.

The Way they implemented the Black Cloaked Warrior was a fantastic way of Striking fear into me honestly, one of the best intros to a villain honestly. We barely got out of there and now I am looking behind me constantly wondering when they will show up again.

We will have an extra episode of HSR coming soon, in fact I think maybe the Week after this upcoming one and people are telling me the story really ramps up here so that is exciting.

Excited to play more with you all, next episode will be out Monday Evening on Patreon :)

Genshin Impact

I think the Lantern Rite really spells the end for this ARC of Genshin, at least thats what it feels like, Now we will be going back into the time in Genshin where we will be getting great updates but it won't be as MUCH as we have been getting in the past few months but I am still so excited. Last year the Mikawa Flower Festival was one of my favourite events so I am over the moon to see what they have in store for us this year. We still have some Interludes and a DAIN Quest to look forward to also.

I would say that I would love to see a Camping event with Durin, Vaan and Albedo and Tartaglia. Why Childe? I dunno I think it will be so cute anyway that adding a little chaos to that would be cool (But still he would make it cute too) beyond that though I trust them. I am still gonna be doing some Genshin stuff, For example people told me about some Quests that I missed so we can try and do those and also THIS WEEK, we have the End of the Lantern Rite and then an Exploration video for Sunday, this will be me answering viewer Questions and stuff and that Post will go up tomorrow at around 5PM Irish time so now that you know, you can BE PREPARED.

I love the Lantern Rite btw, I think its safe to say SO FAR, it didn't hit me as much as last year but like thats okay? Asking a new character to connect emotionally on the same level as Hu Tao would be silly, I adore Zibai's story but I am not so much connected to HER as I am connected to the story which I think was fantastic. Since the Act 3 video is not out yet I can say I DID cry but I feel like it was for Zhongli's relationship with Zibai which is AMAZINGLY WRITTEN. It goes to show that Character Arcs are never over in Genshin, they just always leave openings to continue.

I also adored the use of Xiao and Gaming in this Lantern rite, showing us how close Xiao is with us while also using the universal love for Gaming to make his weird change in personality so apparent, just great stuff. Liyue felt so alive and thats in part to the Amazing characters all having a place in this world.

See you soon for some more Genshin!

Spirit of Justice

We have been playing this masterpiece for a while and it feels like we are tumbling towards the end at this stage, but I imagine we have a lot more to go! We have not even got to the Trial yet. This chapter has been one of the most Incredible pieces of writing the series has seen and that says a lot to me as Ace Attorney in general always over delivers on its final chapters.

I really adore the pairings this chapter has given us and the heavy emotional connection almost every person has to the upcoming trial, this Trial has the fate of Apollo, Dhurke and an ENTIRE country on the line while also you have Trucy (not there currently) Athena, Pheonix, Edgeworth, Ahlbi, Rayfa, the Queen, Nayuta, and Dats EVERYONE has a personal and heavy connection to the trial in someway its insane. Whatever way this ends is gonna hit like a truck.

I really have grown to adore the character of Datz a lot more too, originally a little in the way, he has become someone who shows great courage and love to the cause he has dedicated himself too while also being an example of how emotional this has gotten for the rebels. He is an ordinary guy, who has lost faith in his country but not his religion and is so proud of Apollo but sad about Nayuta... like ... wasn't this guy a comedic relief character two minutes ago? the writing of these characters so good.

Rayfa as another character is so well written, an example of how the country she lives in and her parents have tainted her world view, she never got to be a kid and now follows Phoenix around as a way of her trying to understand what is going on without having to be truly vulnerable about it. She sees Phoenix as a truth bringer even if she won't say it and she wants him to prove her right... but as we have seen she just is not right, whatever way this will eventually hit for her is gonna be rough. I adore her character and how she is written.

MORE Ace Attorney coming soon for all of ya and there is no stopping really!

Portal + Portal 2

I started playing Portal for the first time and I think its a pretty fun Idea to talk about how I feel on the games so far and the response which is... actually great. I saw some people a little worried after seeing the response which has been 40 Percent a little crazy and 60 percent Incredible with some even worried I was going to stop playing but I will just get that out of the way, I ain't stopping, I ADORE Portal and I will finish Portal 2 and YOU WILL LIKE IT OR ELSE... well if you don't like it, its cool too... but I might cry? and then what? a crying Youtuber? when have you ever seen that? ...in my videos? ...Good point.

The Truth is, I have never had a more negative reaction to a game on my channel ever BUT I think the core of the Portal Audience is Amazing, so full of encouragement and love. They are true creatives who just have so much enjoyment seeing someone play their favourite games so don't worry I ain't stopping, its actually good training in a way, I don't think anything can hurt me after this lmao

I adore the games so far, its a really creative game that is so smooth to play, like every second I enjoy tbh. I can boot up the game and 10 minutes feels like two seconds. Figuring out different ways to do a Puzzle is a Joy and when I succeed it feels fantastic. I love the contrast from the first game to the second, the cleanliness of the first to the grimy nature of the second, Glados being such a hilarious but terrifying character, Wheatley adding some nice personality to the game to contrast the times when you feel alone. The Adding of new mechanics that just always feel exciting. Its all coming together to already be a fantastic experience.

so No changes there, we will continue to play Portal, I am taking my time and just having a great time doing it.

ANIME

Anime was fun for the time we got to do it But I do think judging just by the response that using my time to do some stuff for the channel when I can will be a good idea, especially with all the stuff we have done so far :) Thank you for those who checked it out and as always I am not ever saying "WHY DIDN'T YOU LIKE IT" I am a gaming channel and Its not a surprise that my gaming stuff does good in comparison !
