Podcast Topic(s)

This episode begins with WtF Dragon and Golem Dragon discussing the former’s vehicle troubles; in fact, WtF Dragon was joining in this week from out in front of the repair shop his vehicle had been towed to, as he attempted some late-night, last-minute circumventions of what appeared to be an issue with the Chevrolet Traverse’s anti-theft immobilizer system.

However, after a few minutes, the topic shifts to the recently-released Genshin Impact — the latest title from Chinese developer miHoYo — which has surged to become, unexpectedly, one of the most talked-about games of 2020. A casual glance at the cross-platform title — it’s available on mobile, PC, and console (and supports cross-play in most cases) — invites comparisons to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and indeed the gameplay is somewhat similar to that title. But Genshin Impact evidently manages to stand out in its own right, and for a free-to-play title is, apparently, remarkably unobjectionable with its “gacha” features. Golem Dragon has been streaming it, and following other streams about it, and speaks highly of it.

It will not surprise, though, that the topic drifts from there.
