@AsianGuyStream
1. You mentioned him publicly first, but vaguely which is more manipulative, cuz it gives you cover to claim he did it first when he responds.
2. His complaint isn't that you don't wanna be friends with him, but your sabotaging him as a Hoyo creator
@Sockeon
I think the obvious takeaway is that hoyo could absolutely make dark skin characters, it is simply a conscious decision not to. People attribute that to Hoyo feeling like dark skin would hurt the character's reception in China...
@Muj_in
Bruh... I am all for shitting on Genshin, but you make your every breath about that lol Arlecchino is obviously one of the most anticipated chars in Genshin, let's not just shit on everything related to it, gives a similar vibe to genshin stans defending everything about it
@MinaAoyama
Character development? Plot? Build-up? Appreciating those requires brain activity. I am guessing that HSR is gonna see a change in the composition of its playerbase. Good change
@BoxTwice_
The subtitles sometimes go off the screen, like half the text, EN voice-over is not that good, especially YangYang and for me the game is extremely laggy and my laptop is actually decent and runs Genshin and HSR on medium+ graphics smoothly. I assume it's a day 1 thing??
@BoxTwice_
The Zy0x bit of his text was actually disgusting. Millions of people have read parts of that document. Soo many of us got the impression that Zy0x had done something HORRIBLE. And he just casually implied it there, like it was a private dm to Zy0x. Atsu HAS to address this!
@SimplyAllegra
"At this distance, you're more enchanting than you seem..."
Allegra, you look enchanting indeed. I see now what you meant by the dress having long sleeves, it looks incredible!
@sakiomii
"Protecting my identity is so important to me, but I couldn't bother to tell him who I am when he FUCKING ASKED ME and didn't notice him in the group pic"
Didn't lift a finger to protect her identity, but blames Brax for not doing it for her (not knowing who she even is ๐คฃ๐คฃ)
@MGQAlice
@AsianGuyStream
Brax wasn't complaining about not getting connections through Atsu, but how Atsu went out of his way to make it harder for him to collab with anyone in the GI community. Also, how Atsu never explained what his problem with Brax is, so he couldn't even address Atsu's complaints
@Enviosity
Bringing in Tectone's ex-wife cuz Tectone calls him a mint picker. Cries on stream. Has a panic attack over not getting Rosaria. You need professional help.
@VISION_MOUSE
Few more off the top of my head:
Let us tweek character builds in the character selection screen in Abyss (like hsr does)
Let us farm any domain any day of the week (like hsr does)
Keep big events in the game until you complete them (like hsr does)

@StarRailVerse1
At first you claimed he wasn't a member of the IPC. Now you admit that he is, but now you claim that it matters to him less than his membership in the Guild. No one is talking which matters to him more. The post simply claimed he was part of the IPC and you agreed
@chespikmin
Someone please teach me about the concept of side ๐ญ I am a gay man and while I like the idea of getting dicked down, I'm not always super excited for it, mostly cuz of the work you need to put in to get ready. Tell me about what side is and if it relates to this please โค๏ธ
@keitodos
This whole thread is silly, but the f2p point is absolute bullshit ๐ more currency and a lot of f2p options for lightcones (5 star lightcones included). Lots of new chars, but that only makes it less f2p for addicts, you don't have to pull every new char AT ALL
@Annaplaysgensh
@MGQAlice
@AsianGuyStream
Atsu was working to sabotage Brax in his attempts to meet other people and form connections in the community by spreading animosity towards him
@Shamsy_UT
@BoxTwice_
I soo agree with you on the writing issues in gacha games in general. I think this was an issue with Penacony as well. Imagine if a game just let us enjoy a new world for the first 30 mins the way you actually would if you suddenly woke up in one irl. Just absorbing the vibes
@Banana_lolodot
@mizoopi
I also find it ironic and funny how this person is attributing opinions like this to a video game character while weighing in on the topic of headcanons and taking fictional chars too seriously. Comedy gold.
@GenshinImpact
Ahh I used to play Tighnari non-stop, this whole saga around Nari's VA felt so strange. I even stopped playing him unconsciously. Now it feels like I've rediscovered Sumeru all over again. Thank you so much for doing this and doing it this fast!!
@guimauv38353808
Haha I actually feel like people are taking it relatively* easy on me, which I'm grateful for. I meant no hate for the guy, I am a literal simp lol
@Annahilator22
@Muj_in
That's cap tho, chars in HSR are way more developed in terms of backstory and personality. Chars in Genshin are extremely shallow in that sense. No risk taking in developing chars. Also, flushed out animatioms is bs too. HSR is a turn based game and it has insane animations.
Hoyoverse themselves have raised skin color as an issue by accurately recreating every aspect of different cultures (food, music, history, names etc.) EXCEPT FOR SKIN COLOR. They have singled out skin color THEMSELVES. The backlash they're getting is not even enough.
@BishiSky
@sakiomii
"I had just starting going out and meeting people, but I didn't know how to answer the question of "Who are you?" Fucking Braxophone, how could he not know not to post a photo of an incognito vtuber who refused, REFUSED, to tell him anything about her ๐คฃ
@zajef77
I am noticing that the longer people play it the more they like the game and the more they find the combat satisfying. I feel like the game feels a little different than other hoyo games and like it takes a little getting used to. Important to hang in there for a bit. Thoughts?
@notcapnamerica
That was INTENSE ๐๐ My favorite thing about the UK is heavy accents haha although this isn't even just accent, this is attitude, opinions and everything else I'd expect from a 50 year old ๐๐๐
@Tectone
@Zy0x_
I would watch and rewatch every minute of it... imagine the line-up... You, Zyox, Brax, Mtashed, Gacha Smack having THE most anticipated, most important conversation in the gacha history.
I would love to see people you disagree with on your podcast! Or just other ccs in general
@companiondish
@GenshinImpact
Are we?? The resin cap doesn't give you more resin and this isn't artifact load-out. We're hyping this up for no reason. It's nothing at all. The bar is so low for Genshin to do ANYTHING positive my god...
@DailyRenheng
Ayo the lines around his cheek bones and under his eyes are such welcome details instead of just making his hair white. He looks just as good old as he does in game. Can't wait to learn more about his backstory!!!
@SilverPhantom44
@BoxTwice_
I've been going back and forth, but it does look to me like Atsu actually had bad intentions with the latest document... at first he got me with the sob story, but nah it looks to me like he's looking to just shit on everyone
@Iyokuu
You know what the impressive thing is (everyone has been warning about him being manipulative)? The fact that reading this reply of his, you would assume Brax did something horrible, the way he's talking about him here and insulting him. His crime:
@doro44twitch
5/10 and that's being generous. The plot could have been written by a 12 year old. I also just can't get over the fact that genshin just looks sooo unpolished during char dialogue... out of sync audio, limited stiff movements, dumb camera angles etc. An underwhelming experience.
@Tectone
Fuck it, people who try to force their headcanons on others deserve to be called out on twitter. You have to stand up to any and all efforts to silence and dominate people with differing opinions.
@liyrical
Absolutely. I have serious criticism for genshin devs, but I see no point in wanting genshin PLAYERS to feel bad about ANYTHING. All the love to my genshin lovers (still one myself eventhough I play it once a week)
@Iyokuu
posting a group photo they all took together. He didn't know that one of the people was an anonymous vtuber, but he literally ASKED THEM WHO THEY WERE and they said nobody ๐ and act surprised when someone posts a group photo
@Tectone
@Iyokuu
There it is. This is about casuals, like you said. Idgaf if casuals can't clear all content. You've been asking for hard endgame in gacha games forever. Do we want endgame that can be max starred by casuals? This isn't about how much one spends. It's about how much you sweat
@guobacertified
I think the zero cycle shenanigens should never become the benchmark for what a good or high value unit is. The benchmark is max stars. Glass cannon, 100 retries, no sustain runs can be fun to watch, but citing it as a consideration for determining a unit's value is bs
@Iyokuu
Bruh I am starting to find it somewhat annoying how it's always Smack who's accused of spreading "misinfo". And every time it turns out that he is either completely right OR people are just misunderstanding or misrepresenting what he's claiming.
@companiondish
@fobm4ster
@Tectone
Ehh I was agreeing with him on most of this genshin drama stuff, but now it appears like others are making valid counter arguments.
He overplays his hand. His criticisms of Genshin are spot on (imo), but he misses his shots on what to do about it by sowing discord
@shinju_vera
@Tectone
The fantasy tweets came AFTER he learned about the Tuonto drama. Use the 3 neurons you have left. His tweets were a way of making fun of the people who were bullying Tuonto and their ridiculous efforts to force their headcanons on others.
@mrpokke
The event is soooo good. Genuinely good. The HuoHuo event used to be my favorite one, but this one overtakes it. Excellent writing and pacing.
@Razor_Language
I am getting Boothill, but someone PLEASE explain to me why he's considered so much better than Firefly ๐ญ๐ญ What are her issues exactly?
@Inter230407
@arlecchindaily
Right, so the quest itself doesn't give us enough info to conclude that she is from Khaenriah. Explains why I wasn't able to draw the conclusion myself.
Ehh that makes the OP's tweet reasonable. The post they reference is much more direct than the way we were able to know prior
@Tectone
Yangyang's EN voice sounds like a cheap AI generated voice tho ๐ญ she also sounds like she's talking indoors while standing on the edge of a cliff...
@Zybukii
Buddy, I hate to break this to you, but you have no claim over this game or any other game. Your opinion does not matter in the slightest. Whether or not you approve the fact that he likes Changli is inconsequential...
@MGQAlice
@Annaplaysgensh
@AsianGuyStream
True, but Brax named several people who explicitly said that Atsu was shittalking him and he cited several examples of how these Hoyo events tend to unfold and he painted a convincing picture of who these events tend to revolve around
@SilverPhantom44
@BoxTwice_
There was a party 2 years ago, hosted by someone else (Zy0x says likely Atsu, but he can't remember for sure) and some people got drunk and woke people up and everyone got kicked out. A girl felt bad for something related to the drunk friends and Zy0x resolved it the same day
@enocbwaap
No one is comparing gameplay, what're you going on about? QoL, content, writing, rewards etc that's what we're all comparing and that is all fair game
@braxophone
Manipulated people don't know they're being manipulated though ๐ค๐ซข haha joking. Good, I hope everyone can just be friendly, it all depends on us (you 2 in this case), but it's always doable and preferrable
@ZeroStars104
@cyb333rs
Ehh it kinda does? I'm not tryina hate or imply you're weird. I just genuinely disagree. I feel like making child characters less exposed makes all the sense in the world
@nnyavelist
@Tectone
@Zy0x_
Pea brain mentality. We want the game to be better.
"Don't critisize our game, it's perfect, leave if you disagree"
That's you, quite literally. Criticism makes a game better. We see that whereever that approach is employed. Watch Wuthering Waves' dev update from today
@AMStryx
@OddRaccoon
@StarRailVerse1
"Heavily sponsored" does not even imply that there are other sponsors... Also, you had no reason to say that there are other sponsors, yet you claimed that there were so confidently.
@Razor_Language
I played with massive lags and could still arrive at the same conclusion: that the combat is genuinely amazing. But that makes it all the more tragic that I (and so many others) can't enjoy it right now. Free pulls and 5 star chars really don't matter if I can't play
@nirylism
@MinaAoyama
Sparkle's was 1 day before release, same as every other character. Some used to be 5 days before release, but those character hadn't gotten a myriad celestia trailer as well. Those who get both get myriad celestia 5 days before banner release and character trailer 1 day before
@zajef77
@sakiomii
Gave star rail a shot, love it and haven't played Genshin since. I am now in a weird state where I miss my memory of genshin, but when I log on I don't feel much (other than when I glanced in the direction of Dragonspine ๐ฅโค๏ธ)
@Angeless
I'm gay and I too felt like you were fixating on the ship part of the trailer too much, to the point where you basically missed the entire trailer. They start dancing - "LESBIANS ๐ฅต", the plot twist happens" "LESBIANS ๐ฅต". Shallow and simplistic
@HSR_aventurine
I am an aventurine hater who adores him and is about to main him. The quest portrayed him in the most perfect way possible, he's taking Ls from everyone in the game I am obsessed with him ๐๐ At first I couldn't stand him, but now I'm literally obsessed hahaha
@BoxTwice_
I agree actually, babe. His design doesn't stand out to me in any way. Him being a pink haired foxian with Kazuha's fruity VA is cool, but the design looks generic
@nnyavelist
@Tectone
@Zy0x_
"Doesn't need to talk about it" sure, doesn't need to, but chooses to, for the reason I explained.
Says criticism is fine, but yaps bs if someone merely says a livestream was underwhelming
Take a look at his criticisms before judging
