Hi friends!

I've been away for a week long family event (sob) and got knocked out with a fever and headache combo as soon as I got back so I haven't got much work done besides playing through the Archon Quest. My editor is also taking a two week vacation (one week down, one to go) for burnout prevention, so you'll probably be stuck with my editing skills for the next (asmoday) video (which would have been done a week or so ago but *flails arms*).

I also want to test out the new internet this week on a stream, so we'll do that too before moving on to the next HSR and Endfield patches! TBH I'm not really sure what to do with the information we got from the AQ yet, so maybe we can chat about that on stream. I got lots of little ideas but nothing substantially fun yet.

Hope you're having fun! :D

In celebration of Deshret being the Best Boi (tm), today I have obtained FIBER INTERNET! Which means I can now stream at a respectable quality! :D

HOORAY!

Woo channel update time!

Doesn't look it (I know) but I've been busy with too many projects (mostly video prep work) and IRL obligations. So here's an update on what's in the pipeline!

Videos are listed in the order I intend to post them:

- Reed Miller recap (finally revisited this, 99% done)
- Descender crack theory (outlined)

[with any luck the above two will be out before Genshin 6.6]

- Planarcadia 4.2 recap (currently being edited)
- Asmoday theory/Temple of Space part 2 (outlined)
- HSR World Building revisited (outlined)
- Abundance theory (outlined)

I am also working on some Endfield stuff but that takes a little longer since I'm still Learning (tm) the deep lore... and I have a lot to nyoom through first.

Hope you're all having fun! :D

the temple of space has too much stuff in it, so rather than one long theory, i'm working on a compilation of everything you definitely(probably) missed because you were distracted by traveler lore.

how crazy it is that the twin's cage is the least interesting thing in this place...

we'll definitely be doing a special program stream tomorrow (fri), but I dunno what time yet cuz I had just finished handing off a video to my editor when I realized I forgot to upload the relevant quest clips, so I'm waiting for that to finish. can't stream until that's done... but there will still be a stream!

.....
Genshin = full of Lovecraft references
Alice = full of heart symbols (love), elf ears (eldritch = elf-like)
Eldritch + horror = Lovecraft
Kleiner = Alice's partner/husband/father of Klee

....Kleiner and Lovecraft were pen pals....

pattern matching go brrrrr...

Most people think the pirate's favorite letter is R, but pirates actually favor the C -
But clever Pirates who sail the SEA OF REMNANTS can have their R and C it too!



I got to play this game early BTW. You can check it out my thoughts here: https://youtu.be/bAzZ95vydxQ

HELLO FRENS!~

I'm here to give you all a quick channel update!

- You may have noticed I've been showcasing a bunch of new games. That's not a trend that will continue, it's just that I was able to play the three games I was legitimately curious about all at once. I still have one more first impressions vid to post (as of time of writing this) and that's it. After that it's business as usual. Playing through THREE new games did put me a lil behind schedule, but I'll be back on track in a couple of days.

- I'm currently working on a new Genshin theory which is next to release

- A new planet for HSR comes out this week, so I'll be resuming my planet-long patch recaps (one recap per patch). That'll come out second

- I'm adding Arknights:Endfield into my video rotations because I really like it a lot, so while I will be working on some content for it, I'm not sure if it will be third in line to release, or if you'll get a Genshin video first. It'll be third or fourth, it'll just depend on scheduling.

Genshin's special program is coming up too, but I might not do an analysis of it because we haven't had a Lore Q&A in a while, so we might do that instead. We'll still talk about the program contents of course.

Oh and HAPPY EARLY VALENTINES DAY! Levi says hi from the snowlands~
