Hoyo games update

Finally took the time out to do the latest HSR story update this weekend. I had already read the spoilers online, and accordingly adjusted my expectations. The results were...pretty much as expected.

Eh... with that off my back, I want to reiterate again that there are good parts of this story, both in this part in and of itself, and as the coda of the entire Amphoreus arc.

( So, the good: )

So that's pretty much it for HSR. I pulled for Hyacine and E2 Castorice to fill up the meta Remembrance team, which should hopefully last through the 4.0 arc with its JP themed setting. This is all using saved up pulls, so didn't actually spend any $$ on the HSR side.

Oh, and the events that came along with it... I've only played a few matches of Currency Wars, but it feels pretty fun. A breath of fresh air from the Simulated/Divergent Universe, which has gotten rather boring.

Anyway, part of the reason it took so long for me to do the story update is because I have also been splitting my daily play time with Genshin. *sigh* It really is taking me back to the days of GW2 and the time investment needed.
