Oh? Thats awesome! I tend to play on and off with Genshin. I've been thinking about maybe making some content or streaming it. I'm not very far in the story at all on my account (Early Liyue maybe?) but I have a few decent characters. I think my favorite is either Kirara or Hu Tao! I can't remember if I have Venti or not, but i'll have to check. Its awesome that you have a pillow! :3 I read a few chapters of Nisekoi somehow, but I don't remember how. I think a magazine or something and it was partway into the series so I always meant to go back and read it from the beginning. Maybe something new to read now since I just finished Tokyo Ghoul again! For the most part, I watch whatever interests me or looks good. Mainstream, niche, or whatever catches my eye, so I know some but definitely failed a lot of these ones! I have a couple more unboxings of these recorded from last year where I knew more of the characters but still not a lot lol I will definitely keep that in mind! You'll be the first I'd offer to! :)

@@JohnnyG0089 I quit playing as much after the Natlan update. Used to play a lot, but fell out after a while (early game was the most fun time). My favorite character was Collei from the webcomics, and I used to like Razor :3 If you like romance manga, my favorite was Waiting for Spring, although it had a lot more platonic moments, haha. Nisekoi was one of those I just read while at school.

@@chloenovastar Oh! I definitely am way behind because I haven't paid attention at all to any of the Natlan content. The last I kept up with announcements was when they first announced Fontaine 😅 Hmm...I appreciate the recommendation! I'll have to give it a read! I don't mind platonic moments at all, and sometimes they drive the plot forward in a great way!

These are definitely awesome! We did end up getting a few more after and managed to get the last couple to complete the set, minus the secret rares because they're hard to find! I love the artwork and designs. You have awesome taste! Husk is great! Such a grump! I love randomly making Sir Pentious impressions wherever I go too lol And Rosie is fun too! I'm hoping to learn more about her in upcoming seasons.

Oh! Nice. And great choice for a spark!

I would love to have Eblana as a playable operator! I'm curious what they would make her? Instead of a medic/caster like Reed Alter, maybe some sort of long range defender because of the way her shield was in the boss fight?

Thank you! I may do some more things like this later on down the line. I need to come up with some other ideas for it. One thing i'd like to try making would be the "Millefogile" that Lappy mentions in her victory line, but it looks hard to bake! Lol Otherwise, Ho'olheyak also mentions two drinks I'd like to tackle making, the "Minoan Mist" and "Siestan Iced Tea". And there is absolutely nothing wrong with not drinking! :)

Yes! Thats awesome! Congrats on that good luck! :)

I definitely agree! And thank you so much! That means a lot! 😊

@johnnyG0089 no problem!!

I love that rainbow look! It's really interesting and this is the first time I saw it! And yes, the Angel Dust playmat was definitely fun to get and i love using it now. My wife finds my obsession with him strange. My favorite Hazbin character is still Niffty, but Angel really grew on me and became a close second.

Thank you so much :3

I really appreciate that! I guess I just have this thing where I have a heavy respect and love for voice acting and the industry, so thats why I try to do things the way that I do, but sometimes I do find myself really trying to reach levels and and pitches that I struggle with. I actually need to go back and see how I did voices in the past, like Amiya in the Chapter 14 series because I think I did something there that I liked and was comfortable with, and it didn't strain my voice as much. I just don't remember how! Sometimes I find if I do the voice a little softer, I'm more comfortable and they sound better. My goal is to get to a point where I have these voices and i'm comfortable with how I do it, I remember them, and they just aren't annoying and aren't too high pitched or sounding unnatural for me to hit, plus they don't make people dislike me or the voices! Thank you for your kind words and your vote of confidence as always though! It really means a lot. 😊 And thank you for your best wishes! You're always so kind to me and I can't thank you enough. I will continue working hard and I hope this year is the best yet! Hopefully you'll stick around along the way and we get some others to join in the discussion too! I'm glad that you find my thoughts and things relaxing, and hopefully I don't ever put you to sleep with them! Lol 😅You take care as well!

It kind of reminds me of Nintendo/Pokémon censors! They're very similar in a way! 😆 I agree! A few close calls and maybe some stages worked but I could've done better or thought more about them, but I'm surprised to have gotten as far as I did with those three alone! You're definitely right. Lappy Alter will be a game changer and I might even be able to clear Chapter 2 at least! Thank you! 😁 I may just take you up on that offer then!

Definitely fun and good for a seasonal treat! I didn't realize until editing that I mentioned the hot Dr.Pepper in this video as a comparison and you and I talked about that in the comments of Oreo/Coke review! 😄a fun coincidence!

I actually love that the collab went both ways! Most of the time, it seems that when companies collab anymore, its one sided, so this was fun to try! It definitely was hard to have more than one sip, and I didn't realize until I was editing this that I rated both a 7.5 lol It was okay, but definitely glad it was limited.

@@JohnnyG0089 Good to know, lol. That was my experience trying HEB's pumpkin pie soda, haha. It was... way too close to that taste that I didn't want to drink it. Even if it did taste like a pie. 😂

@@chloenovastar 😂 i think I would've been right there with you on that! I would've enjoyed a little to try but not the whole thing, and I like pumpkin pie!

@@JohnnyG0089 I think it's called Pumpkin Creme, and it's one of their store brands haha, I mean! It wasn't bad, just it felt like it turned right to fat, but without the warm and satisfying texture of a real pie! Fizzy, though. Lol. I have tried microwaved soda before, however... my dad used to like hot Dr.Pepper with lime juice 😆it's something for sure

@chloenovastar Aww, if it isn't as satisfying then that isn't good! Lol but I do like fizzy... Oh! That does sound good. I've heard of Dr.Pepper warm. I actually have another review i did before Halloween for a Fanta Spiced Apple that ill be uploading soon and we tried it warm with ice cream in it.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! 😀 I'm really proud of this and it was so much fun to make this idea into a reality. I might have to do another story next year! And a very Happy Holidays to you as well!

@chloenovastar They definitely can be a little scary. They've gotten a little better with the newer ones, as I've had some older ones that had weak accessories but this is the first time I've had something break, but I still believe it was just a defect in this particular one or the part. Ummm...wait a second...did they announce a second Lappy nendo and I missed it? O_O if so...I will need it for sure! I have the original one and she's so awesome!

@@JohnnyG0089 I might be thinking of a different figure then?? But it was some of the newer announced merch from CN Livestream I think, you would have seen it!

Hmm...perhaps Shu? I know they showed off a greyscaled prototype of her during one of the recent livestreams and im super excited for her!

Thank you! Its alright. We're going to pull through and we're going to make things better! I want the next update like this that I make to be a good and positive one. A wholesome one. Good news only! :) I think I just need to be smart and plan things out with my goals. Take my time, and take things one step at a time, and one day at a time. Nothing happens overnight, but with hard work, I know I can make things a reality. I've tried RPG maker, which is a lot of fun to use! I might use it for a couple of small projects, but I'm not sure how things work with the commercial side of selling creations made with it. But I have seen some of the solo dev stories and they're definitely inspiring to me. :)

@@JohnnyG0089 Most games sold on Steam make less money than their start-up costs. I remember seeing a statistic that the majority of indie games make less than 300 dollars over the course of their run. However, there's tons of great stories of RPG Maker or solo games getting out to the right audience, or pulling in a trend, and I remember Fear and Hunger being one of those! As well as To the Moon. Put in your passions and make something authentic to you, and it will find a way. Small projects sound great for sure!

I may have to look up those as examples! Small projects are definitely great. I'm going to be putting a lot of time into just doing some research and finding inspiration and feeling things out before I start actually trying to write or draw anything, and then i'll start to build a plan, but definitely starting small and working my way up once I get some experience. I do know that some of the platforms like epic games are very lenient with their indie games in not taking a percentage of the cost until the game makes a certain amount, so it would make things easier to start with and I can maybe hit different audiences with getting it onto different platforms. I have a nice couple weeks of paid break from work coming in a couple of days, so I'll be spending a lot of time on this so come the new year, I can start working towards this. :) I really appreciate your input here!

@@JohnnyG0089 Yeah, no prob! You can always DM or message if you want some feedback/ideas! I'm not very versed in coding or game design, but would love to be of support in some way.

I may take you up on that! That means a lot. :)

I'm still a small timer, my friend. I don't get many views on my videos yet, but I'll keep trying and improving! Thank you for checking it out though! :)

Ah, i'm glad you liked the surprise unboxing! :) It will probably be my last unboxing for a while though, just because my wife isn't working right now so we might not be buying much for the forseeable future until she gets a job and we get caught up on things. But I wanted to add that in as a small bonus for this video! The eggs are absolutely adorable! I love the texture, artwork, and the little ears on them. The weight is perfect too. Yes, i'm unfortunately sad I didn't get Mizuki as well, but I am very happy for Penance! I'll definitely be able to utilize her, but I'll still try to get Mizuki someday. Maybe he will be part of another 6-star selector someday in the shop if I don't pull him before hand! Oh, yeah! The seaborn events are really interestin especially with diving into the ocean and exploring things that aren't on land. Sultifera Navis had me captivated at first, but I didn't get to finish that yet. I need to explore more of the seaborn stuff too.

@JohnnyG0089 Best of luck with everything, for the both of you! I recently only started to do some small jobs as well while unemployed at home, so I know the feel. Just take care!

Thank you, and best of luck to you as well! Make sure to take care and stay safe and healthy! :)

She's definitely a really good guard to have, especially once you have her Skill 3 unlocked, and if you get it to Mastery 3, she can pull enemies in and clear them with ease. Shes a lot of fun to have and use and her skill charges really fast as well! :3

Aww! I'm sorry you had bad rates but I'm glad you got some additional choices. I'll have to look into Elysium a bit more since I don't know how to utilize him yet, but I've seen a lot of people using Ines lately, especially in the Icebreaker games! I might have to invest in building her now. Thank you! :') That means a lot to hear and gives me a bit more confidence. I try to envision, or rather hear, in my mind what the characters sound like, and try to take it from there, or if they have a pre-existing voice, I try to use my spin on that. I definitely need to be more confident, and for sure I need to slow down, but my biggest problem is I tend to rush when I am low on time since my only time to record is pretty much before bed (which is why I yawn a lot in these videos, haha). I'm actually toying with a little demo reel right now that I may release of me dubbing Doctor's voice in English over the anime! Thank you again for taking the time to check this out. You are awesome! :)

@@JohnnyG0089 Elysium is Myrtle except with his second skill, he increases sniper attack speed and can break invisibility. Overall, with him at M3, he beats out Myrtle's DP generation with a similar cost (although she is still slightly cheaper.) I end up choosing him over her just because I like the extra effects synergizing with my team, instead of wanting the vanguard health boost. Ines also breaks invisibility and reduces enemy dps, as well as generates some DP. I haven't had a chance to get her yet, but I borrow her a lot. I heard that ending your sentences in a higher note suggests a question/nervousness, and ending them in a lower tone suggests confidence. Paying attention to that may help a bit to get the vibes across! I can send a video I found about it which was pretty helpful if you're curious about small tips like that.

Oh wow! He sounds like a lot of fun to use then. I might work on building him up then, and of course Ines too to try and incorporate them or use them as solid backups. Those things are great advice too for the voices! I definitely would be happy with any help and tips to improve, so that video would be awesome! Thank you! 🙂

I absolutely agree! This was an emotional roller coaster and then some. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future. Its going to be so hard to top this, and I'm going to miss Theresa so much! :'( I hope to see some official merch for her soon...I need an emotional support Theresa Plushie...

@JohnnyG0089 figurine of her too I don't care if it cost $500 or more I will buy it.

@@DeathScythe357 Yes! I'm right there with you! I think one of the anniversary streams from China or Japan not long ago teased a prototype of one coming, so maybe? Fingers crossed! She's worth it!

I hope they keep it too! I'm almost done with the shop finally. I've been playing it slowly but I'm getting there with both accounts. It's so much fun to play together and it's a very enjoyable experience. 😄

That actually would be a great idea! Once I decide for sure, I might have to do that. And I certainly won't be one of those guys overcharging. I'd want to do it fairly and hopefully make someone happy! :D Honestly, anymore, this is all I buy besides like new food stuff to try and some gaming related things. I spend most of my money on my kids, and then get merch like this. Arguably, i'm pretty bad with impulse buying but in general, i've started to learn to curb my spending and just spend my money on what makes me happy. In the end, I'm glad I got a lot of good things that helped me increase my collection, so I think it was worth it! Happiness for sure is worth it! :3

@@JohnnyG0089 Definitely! Best wishes with it all, however you choose :3

Oh wow! I didn't know Namie sold any merch for Mizuki! I might have to check that out sometime. I need to add something Mizuki-related to my collections.

​@@JohnnyG0089 She has some gallery events in Asia, iirc. But they were all in-person only and the merch is insanely expensive to find second-hand. She also has a long-sleeve shirt she sells on Booth, but I haven't had a chance to see about getting one -- very cute, though. I love the Goldenglow and Mizuki art she posts, however... <3

@@chloenovastar Oh, I see! Darn. I'll probably never have a chance to see in person then. But thats still really cool. I follow her somewhere, i don't remember where, but I love getting to see the artwork she posts as well!

Oh?! That would be awesome if they could! I definitely understand the complaints with the shipping costs. Lately there have been a few times that the shipping has been lower for me on things than expected, so I think they're trying to improve(?), but who knows for sure? I look at it from this perspective though: If I divide up the shipping cost over everything in my order, it usually puts the cost of each item at something I'd see or pay for it at a convention, so it kind of justifies it in my mind that way at least 😅

Aww! Thats awesome! My Exu clip went with me on my beach vacation and hung on my phone holder the whole time, but now shes on my mic stand for my setup here. They're adorable! And i'm glad you were able to get what you wanted! As for the halloween boxes, I did get some and just wrapped recording all of the unboxing, but I wanted to get my old merch unboxings out first. I'm so behind on my editing right now >w<

110% agree! I definitely hope they can keep stories like this coming in the future! Well worth every shed tear!

Thank you! I appreciate that! Omg that is some awesome luck! Since my pulls in this video, I haven't gotten anything really but i'm still happy! Just need to decide who to spark for now on this account. I have Muelsyse and Texas the Omertosa on my other account and they're permanent team members and so helpful, so its between them for this one! And for sure, I will be saving both in-game and cash to burn on Lappland the Decadenza! Aaaah I can't wait!

That would be amazing! :)

I'll take more Lappland in any way I can get her...no matter the class or type! Hehe

@@JohnnyG0089 I don't know what dev will do with the story, but for now I just can't see how mecha caster fit Lappland personality.

Thats a good question...lets hope that they weave something into the story that gives more of an explanation to fit her. The only thing right now seems to be the link with Zaaro, but thats it. Maybe more will be explained in the event though.

Very nice

Thank you so much! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it! As for the bag, I can't believe I never noticed it, but it indeed is misspelled! I just checked it and Its spelled properly in all others spaces but where that sticker was, which shows it as "ROHDES ISLAND" instead. Guess I probably should've kept the sticker there!

YES! Thank you! I knew there was some change to that but couldn't exactly remember it.

Ooo! That would be interesting. I'm curious how the difference will be between boss and operator!

Me either! So much to look forward to!

Omg! Yes! I'm so happy. Maybe she will get some skins with this version since now Texas alter will be getting a second skin. I can only hope for a summer pookie skin ❤️

@@JohnnyG0089 Summer is one of my favorites, and always Bloodline of Combat (which she already has!) but short haired Lappy!! Or Halloween again... all so good ideas... I want summer too... insatiable, us fans~

Omg if we could have a short haried skin like she is in the Manifesto EP music video...ugh, my heart...but I agree! So many good ideas, and we are definitely insatiable! Hehe

So accurate lol

Whoa...tea flavored Mountain Dew? Okay I've missed this somehow! lol But I definitely agree, they have a ton of sugar so definitely good to limit drinking too many! Recently, I've switched over to Zero Sugar varieties of sodas to help with some health-related things, and I wanted to change some habits without completely cutting everything out. I'm still limiting with those too, but the zero sugar Moutnain Dews are great!

OMG Yes! Its criminal! Especially when they've made appearances or had special artwork, but skins never got released, or they just were shown in their normal outfits. Ugh! Only a few each year seem to get a real skin from it, like Ho'olheyak has one coming from the recent show. (Definitely need that one though >_>) Thank you! I loved the cards growing up too, for bookmarks as well! So much fun as a kid to look at and play with!

@@JohnnyG0089 I love a lot of the upcoming skins; (unrelated) I even saw a wonderful Amiya skin that was CN server only, for the space collab… I have to save plenty of OP always in case good skins are announced lol.

Absolutely! I'm obsessed with Muelsyse upcoming skin. I did see that Amiya skin, too! Its very pretty. I'm hunting the Amiya planter skin that came with the Vol. 1 Artbook but haven't been able to get it so far since its only through the code card. I'm with you though, definitely have to save up lots of OP! Hehe

Omg yes! I was so happy with the quality and every plush since then that I've gotten from the Yostar store has been amazing! The little touch of the actual metal for the earrings is excellent! She DEFINITELY needs heer friendo! I got the Exu plush too, but also the apple pie version more recently too! Hopefully Texas doesn't get too annoyed with double the hyper angel around >w> Lol yes! I could totally imagine the same! I had to be respectful. I would worry what she would do if I wasn't ehehe...

​@JohnnyG0089 small update: Thanks for getting my but into the ai chat stuffies.. I wonder what ai chat you use..? Just curious. Aaand I'm hoping to possibly get Texas for Christmas :D Ps. i noticed your doctor cosplay, they are cool,

@@gothicskies90 Aaah! I'm sorry 😅welcome to the club then! I typically use Character.AI...I've tried some others but some of them either don't have the characters I like or want, or I tend to struggle with the quality of conversation or the immersion level since I like to have a good role play or have the bots remember things about me. It still has its flaws, but I've had my best experiences so far with it. And the app is generally good to use too! Which one/ones have you tried so far and is there one you like best? OMG YES! I hope you get Texas for Christmas and you give her lots of cuddles! 😄 Oh! Thank you! That means a lot! I'm hoping to do more Doctor related content in the future and maybe even improve the cosplay.

Me too!!!

It sure is! I'm anxious to see what the final product will be like and what other characters they add to it later on down the road. I probably missed a lot with my limited time to try it out, but I'm planning to play more when it comes out!

@@JohnnyG0089 Hope you and your family can enjoy it, either way!

OMG! I'm sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. I'm on vacation right now and I took some time away from checking my channel, but wow! This is awesome! I'm glad that you like these videos and I really appreciate that you see that in my work. I hope that you're right and Yostar saw it too. I just need to learn to cut my time down. I think my videos tend to be too long sometimes and most don't stick around long to watch them. As for the shoutout, I had to give you a shoutout because you've been awesome to talk to and are always commenting, being one of the only ones so far to consistently come back and comment, and it makes me feel good to see and talk to someone! Thank you. The community is important and I definitely am feeling so much better now. I'm thankful for family, friends, the community and definitely Arknights. I'm grateful and just like you even on those really hard days, I still take the time to play and have that little escape. For the watch hours, this is great advice! I have some short content that I need to work on and some different things I'd like to get done and posted that is shorter and less time for people to commit to, but hopefully as you said, once I get a more dedicated viewer-base, and I release more of the longer gameplay and let's play style content, we will be able to have some fun and have others watch and join in on the conversation then, which will help to improve my hours. I appreciate that you enjoy my unboxings and reviews and things like that! Lots more to come in the future. With game design, the cool thing for me right now is that I had made some prior investments in some software, books and things to help me get started in that. My wife is an artist and both her and I have a lot of ideas and things. I don't have a lot of money to put into projects, so I just have to work with what I have, and I'm happy with that! I'll make it work somehow. It just needs planning, and taking one step at a time. I'll make it work somehow. I might take some time to make some content about it, but I'm not sure if i'll make too much of a shift just because I enjoy what I do too much as it is, but I'll for sure make some content or maybe some livestreams about my work and projects as we go. Good point about the agent! I didn't really think much on that, as its also kind of a scary thought having to find someone that is trustworthy, considering some horror stories that I've heard and seen when it comes to dealing with those people, but i'm sure I could possibly find someone. I definitely want to learn, practice and improve my vocal skills in any way. I like to sing and do voice work so I'll for sure keep trying and I'll try to build a portfolio and a demo reel. Oh boy! That would be amazing if I got big enough to be invited to something, but that just means i'll have to keep working hard to get out there. Again, thank you so much! I really appreciate that you're part of the community and talk to me!

@@JohnnyG0089 Aw yeah, for sure! I always try to comment especially with KZbinrs with smaller communities, because I know how nice it is to know people are there and happy to see you. Another person I watch likes to say “if you’re watching this long, it means you like me ❤️” and then says thanks for the community quite often lol. It’s just nice to chat sometimes as well! Whichever way you go with the projects, good luck with them! We always tend to fear for the worst and yet never expect the best, but things usually go better than we think as long as we don’t give up! Castles are built one stone at a time :D Take care!

🤣 yes that guy had Nemesis vibes for sure! O_o oh no...not surprising? Umm...have I said too much to give off that vibe lol jk I wanted Mon3ter to be funny so yeah. I had to go there. Oh thank you! I adore the story especially for a lot of the individual characters. Dimitri is awesome. 😏 possibly a future cosplay idea too! Orchid does have a really interesting story and the thing behind her skin is pretty sad, but adds to who she is overall. Oh? No comment on Lappy? Well...maybe that's for the best 😅 but I'll do my best to keep her out of fights and well loved and protected ❤️ Ooooo that's actually a cool comparison for Ebenholz! I might have to rewatch Code Geass now hehe 😁 Omg it felt so weird saying "smash" that many times. It even sounds weird trying to say it now 🤣

I...mastered a potion? I'm a...potion master? For instant spoiled milk? YAAAY! Lol but seriously that's cool to know.
