As much as I want to get back into playing Genshin Impact, I'm still full of regret for my financial choices earlier in the year and I just know that if I played that game again I would keep spending money and getting frustrated because the one character I wanted is already gone and making progress is so so slow when you're ftp and didn't ration your resources/know how to properly use artifacts or whatever they're called before you got to an AR you can't handle.
#Was ftp for a fair while then I looked into online spaces and got sucked into the idea that I needed to get every character#that was popular at the time (and since they're only available for a limited time theres even more pressure)#and ended up spending quite a bit of money and instantly regretting it but not learning my lesson. I'd been saving up primogems for Februar#when Xiao's banner was gonna come out and I'd only spent a small amount of money on the game before but then Albedo suddenly got really#popular and even though I didnt care about him that much at first I quickly jumped on the bandwagon due to collecgors anxiety + fomo +#communal hype. Used all my saved gems and didnt get him. Didnt learn. Wasnt enough time to save up again even though I was playing almost#24/7 at that point cuz of other stress so when Xiao's banner actually came out I didn't have enough for even 1 wish I don't think.#I'd also gotten really frustrated with Dragonspine and had started playing BOTW at that point so I'd taken a break from Genshin and only#come back to try and get Xiao because I liked his character and design and I'd bedn really excited about his banner before. Got impatient#and ended up spending a ton of money on primogems only to end up nearly broke and with Xinyan + a weapon I didnt want. Haven't opened the#game since then. It moves too fast and there's too many updates and events ans daily things for me to keep up. Can't even play ACNH every#day anymore and thats as low-stress as it gets!Basically I made a stupid decision and got made + didnt like the culture surrounding the gam#so: I will do with this game what I do with all of my retired fixations. Consume fanart of a small number of very specific characters +#fanfiction with a billion exclusion tags so that I only see what I want to read and then maybe a long time later I'll get back into it but#never actually be as passionate about it or interested in it as I was the first time. Which is kinda sad but whatever.#ghostprince posts#DNRB#Genshin Impact#videogames#This is *riddled* with spelling errors jesus fucking christ I used to have so much more motor control than this what happened??
