    Genshin Impact.

    playing from December 2020, still going strong. I went through some tough times IRL in between, and this game never failed to give me that sensation of magic every time I logged in.

    3 years in, this game still never ceases to amaze me. On the other day, while running some errands I came across this hostile mob. They attack the mc on sight, but when none is around, they were feeding a duck in a pond! I observed from far a bit, and left them in peace.

    Internet will go faster, cheaper and mobile in every new generation of tech. Streaming games is the logical solution.

    Moved to a new place for work, and had a furnished kitchen available. So I thought why not give this a try. Turned out cooking some basic stuffs for keeping myself fed is not very much difficult. It is more healthy and cheaper as well. Now I order foods weekly one day may be at max.

    I have a gut feeling that a large number current admins never used reddit for any meaningful duration. Check the kerfuffle at mildlyinteresting for example.

    I was initially saving for LoFi. But at 170 fates currently, so it seems very tight. Now I am thinking to get kokomi next patch (I am upto +50 in 50/50) and save the rest for fontaine.

    I like to play characters that are story relevant. I grabbed my Nahida C0, I know C2 will be a huge boost, but I don't see myself investing in that just for numbers.

    Alhaitham on the other hand, I kept playing his trial over and over, and after a lot of deliberation I got him. I like how he is not burst reliant. and I like his play style. Then I got fixated to LoFi and on a whim spent 130 fates and got just a standard weapon and pwjs.

    Now this time, I will have about 170 fates when his banner drops, and I am thinking to pull again in the weapons banner. My Kuki will love the freedom sworn if I lose.

    But Kokomi is the last missing piece in my premium Ayaka freeze...

    Tough choice, I will hold till the last day and take a call.

    There is no simple explanation. If I like it, I just want to listen it again, and again. I might not understand the language or it may even not have one, but if I like it, I know.

    Exclusively Genshin Impact for the last 2+ years. Current patch is sort of dry, but new seasonal area will be in the next, and after that a whole new region (Fontaine) is scheduled.

    This game is perfect for my routine. I usually play no more than 15-20 minutes in weekdays doing daily chores, and catch up to the story content in weekends/ holidays when I have longer time to play.
