It all started with a tweet. Last year, I’d heard several people talking about the game Genshin Impact. I don’t consider myself much of a gamer — I’ve mostly played the same three titles, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons) for the past decade. So, when my brother and a few friends picked up the game, it wasn’t really something that I felt compelled to play or even search. That all changed when a tweet with eight characters on it made its way to my feed. One of them, his name was Tartaglia, captured my attention. He was a taller character, wearing a grey suit, a tattered scarf, and a mask to the side of his face. Out of curiosity, I googled him (and how to pronounce his name) and that’s when I learned he was a character from Genshin. An hour later, I was knee-deep in guides on how to build him — at that time, I didn’t understand what they were saying — and random clips on YouTube. I wasn’t even playing the game yet but I needed him. I stewed on the thought (or, rather, resisted the urge knowing my own obsessive tendencies) for a few days until I finally bit the bullet and downloaded the game on my phone. Now, close to five months later, I haven’t stopped playing.
