Sorry guys, this ep was muted by our publisher, probably for ID'd audio. We had no idea until some listeners told us. please tell us in the Q&A section if this version's audio works or not.

video version coming soon! In this episode, 8 people talk about Genshin Impact for several hours, but only one remembered that Arlecchino beat up Furina in an alleyway. Is it justice to let the Fonch people melt? Was Momoyo's quest a mistake? What piece of new lore is so terrible, Beefy is going to pretend it never happened? And most of all, how do you pronounce "Oratrice Mechanique...." ahhh forget it. Thank you Tales of Teyvat for collaborating with us! We churls have been wanting to...

-Tip Jar ⁠-Twitter Hi you guys! We have a whole episode in the works that's supposed to go before this one. but we wanted you to have our pre-Fontaine ep in time for your evening commute!

Please enjoy, pardon our jank, and see you in Fontaine!!! 00:00 Genius Invokation TCG (aka "Gwent's In Impact") 04:50 There's No "W" in...

Continuing from ep. 16, the Churls and Aster look at the ploys that Genshin pulls to get paid. Last time was all about casino-like gameplay mechanics and sensory immersion, but this time we look at the good old gacha game tenets of parasociality, peer engagement and FOMO. Come for the otaku anthropology, stay for the Paimon impressions. 00:00 Social Media & FOMO 04:49 Intro to Parasociality 08:07 Designing Sellable Characters 12:16 Voice Actors and Parasociality 15:10 Fandom for...

We break down the rhythm game segments, analyze the newest playable characters, Raya and Jetta, and discuss the deep Craig lore. This time, on Jemshin...
