The Trials And Tribulations Of A Nintendo Fan During E3

Genshin Impact Boycott: Case of Western Erroneous Cultural Perceptions
I like Genshin Impact, but that doesn’t mean the game has no flaws. Currently, I am Adventure Rank 55; I have finished all the story quests, character quests, and even the hangouts. I explored every single area at 100%, completed every puzzle, and opened every chest (the ones that don’t respawn, at least). Needless to…
