Based on what he said, he might be happy that kids in America can't get their hands on one of those, easily. And he might also be less than happy about people not keeping close watch on their guns when they have kids. But then again, if the kid is willing to shoot up a school, they might not be the best at parenting.
The "Resin limit" has nothing to do with CCP regulation. It is a F2P (usually mobile) game design staple that have been around for years, also commonly known as Energy, Stamina, or Lives. This artificial limiter is there to make you spend money once you run out of that resource. Usually, mobile games have you go on "missions" or "stages" which you have to spend the resource to go on. (Raid, that SW mobile game, lots of other gacha games). Other mobile games have you use this resource when you lose (Candy Crush and other King games). Genshin Impact was designed with the mindset of a F2P Mobile Game, though with gameplay typical of a console game. The textbooks on how to design mobile games, one example being Mobile & Social Game Design (2014), almost all say this system is a must have for any F2P game that wish to earn money. Genshin does this particularly well because it actually lets you do content even if you run out of resin, you just don't get any rewards for them. You do get a prompt to buy more Resin however.
@Blueberry You can replenish resin with primogems 5 or so times a day. Also, you CAN buy your way through to progress faster (kind of), but that will be too expensive in a long term and inefficient too.
yeah, its a common game mechanic to force players to not consume all the content at once, thereby making the developers life easier releasing new content, keep users from getting bored too soon. Even Animal Crossing is somewhat similar with time based content, theres only so much you can do a day in game, unlike Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley where you can sleep to go to the next day and rush through the game. While Mobile games that are "free to play," wave the option to rush build or continue playing the game, for money. Very powerful game mechanic to keep players playing and spending.
so basically they knocked 2 issues with 1 stone, they slow down the speed of the content getting consumed and accidentally supports the CCP regulation at the same time.
Genshen impact is cool and all but did you know that tf2 has a story. There are comics that explain the plot in great detail and I think it would be great if you made a video on it.
Yeah I've seen women who are anime and genshin fan....but let me be honest... They really love a dude who's literally like Senator Armstrong. Based... Strong (especially emotionally) and at least not a crybaby. Anime can be liked by everyone (even i watch anime) but i not stick 100 wallpapers of anime girls in my room (okay i have vivian James wallpaper #gamergate tho)...
I love this. Only Paul could take Max0r displaying a single image of a regular crab on his screen and spontaneously and naturally bring up a totally related anecdote about crabs
As we talk about society building: One of my favourite thing about reading on the origins of social and political order is that basically everything essentially starts the same which is: _"Small groups form of which the stronger turn to rob the weaker. At some point some of these bandits settled down and stopped to rob, but now extorted the population, making sure they would be able to collect the revenue by warding off other roaming bandits. Thus proto-city states and centralised violence emerged."_ TL;DR: The grandfather's of states are basically always violent lawless bandit groups.
For maximum Max0r amphetamine output, you need to watch his two part Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance review. It's all of his madness, distilled into a concentrated substance strong enough to burn a hole through the upper mantle.
@@pirig-gal It's like I'm being indoctrinated into some crazy meme-based cult every time I watch one of his videos. It's so overstimulating that you have no chance to do anything but soak it all in.
Genshin has some subtleties here and there that im sure sparks Chinese censorship. But Hoyoverse's big baby project Honkai Impact has enough shit to make the skeletal corpse of chairman Mao to shit in his grave. From aggressively gay characters under the just good friends pretense to a lot of commentary on corrupt political systems mixed with an Evangelion inspired depression simulator story mixed with fast paced DMC combat. Its pretty crazy that not only is Hoyoverse still around being a Chinese company. They have been banking with walking the line on what they can get away with.
this makes me feel a little better about the fact that genshin impact has ring 0 permissions on my pc, since at least the company running isn't going to be letting the ccp steal my data. now i can rest assured that my data will only be stolen for perfectly reasonable capitalist reasons. it isn't a surveillance state if it's corporations that are watching you!
@@daysand123 yeah i checked. it used to run when the game wasn't running, and stayed on even after they uninstalled. they patched it big time and apologised. the sad part is that an american software could probably get away with having their ring 0 anticheat run when the game isn't running purely because people aren't generally as sus of the us government or us corporations.
@@drdecidueye9461 yeah take literally all of ubisoft or whatever Bethesda makes. Pretty sure Doom Eternal only got its anti cheat with ring zero kernel removed because its fucking Doom and people weren't gonna ignore that without glorykilling some company Twitter pages.
Funny enough we can't associate genshin with ccp jokes anymore because the company has fled the country and changed name to avoid them meaning its a slightly better game than it used to when Max0r reviewed it
@@RosyBramble this comment above is just not true, for more information: they didn't change name to avoid ccp or escape china, more than 40% of their revenue comes from china, so if they want to keep that huge amount of money, want it or not, they have to comply with the censorship rules, even if the company isnt from china, they have to follow the rules, look at PUBG, they tailor fitted the game just for china to accept it and allow it to be distributed in china, because their is so much money and market in china, mihoyo actually changed names to hoyoverse because they want to expand their brands besides games, they plan to go into software making, anime, and other things.
@@johnj.spurgin7037 yeah, the numbers are a little sus since i could only find genshins revenue and not hoyoverse as a whole, but its still a good guide line, china contributes between 25-40 % of money, it depends on the year and banner of course. If you want sources just search "genshin revenue by region" since youtube delets links.
8:30 I’m much less worried about Genshin’s anticheat being malware than I am worried about Valorant’s anticheat, given that from all accounts the Genshin anticheat properly shuts itself off when you’re not playing the game and also, yknow, genshin isn’t owned by Tencent.
If you're enjoying Max0R's videos so much, his two-part videos on Metal Gear Rising Incorrect Summary are incredible and are a must-watch! I have a feeling you'll enjoy that one even more than his other videos.
17:30 That is basically the premise of the book "Worm" were you gain superpowers thru intense trauma. The Main character gets her power after years of bullying and being left to die in a school locker filled with garbage. And yes, that world is as big of a clusterfuck as can be expected.
@@sirapple589 Cool powersystem? Oh sure, either you have a Two-Face (or Joker) level of Bad Day or you pay out of your nose (or sell your soul) to the bootleg Illuminati of the setting.
25:44 - Yeah, no, that's literally like a lion's mane. A hilichurl's entire head is covered in that white fur, save for the mask on its face. Really reaching hard for the comparison, fam. You can honestly compare ANY fantasy race to a real-world parallel if you rationalise it enough.
To be fair the devlopers of this game (Hoyoverse) have always straddled the line of what is acceptable by the CCP's standards. They've been slowly moving their assets out of China over the years. I think the only reason they haven't been doing so at a faster rate is because they don't want to draw too much attention from the CCP, since the government is very much aware of Hoyoverse's success. Given Xi's open eagerness to restore certain doctrines that Mao used to push, I wouldn't be surprised if Hoyoverse higher ups are starting to feel the focus of the authoritarian magnifying glass intensify.
30:00 technically, no character in the game is bad. You'll just need more effort to make them match others. Ive seen some people outdamage me while using the "worst" character in the game.
@@zakanyimen yeah, as casual you stand no chance to those addicts that one-shot any boss. And ofc events and upcoming bosses are made for those addicts, so they are thrilled... really takes/took the fun out of a lot of games
@@zakanyimen Ah no, bad means that no matter what effort you put out on making them decent they just can't even be decent. That's what a bad character is, and so far even Amber (literal worst character in the game) can be built well.
@@zirpharis For one, I'm a casual player. I usually play 3-4 other games a day so I can't focus much on Genshin but so far I haven't seen why *other players* one shoting bosses takes fun from *your* game. Genshin is not a PVP game, there's not even a leaderboard or anything that you need to compete in, so how does other player's success matter to your game? Are you just comparing yourself to them then? Basically feeling inferior from players that shouldn't matter to you? And the events and bosses are made for those addicts? you sure about that? Cause I sure haven't encountered an event that I could not clear because I lack the characters or something(they even let you trial out characters for that expressive purpose) It's also the reason why the Primogems are always the first rewards in every one of those event challenges with mora as the last reward for particularly great results so that you can at least have the most valuable reward even if you suck at it. And I'm pretty sure the first time you play against those bosses, they nerf the hell out of those bosses(Shogun fight) or buff your characters(Ei fight) just to make it so that every players can clear it. As for the repeat clearing of every domains for farming or killing a world boss? who said you need to do it alone? the coop is there for a reason. I for one relied on my teammates in the past to clear Childe's domain every week because of how hard that sh*t was when he just came out(they nerfed him now to make it more balanced)
@@ubeia4857 well first of the competition, ofc there is no PvP, but there is this toxic fandom with "What you can't do 60k with a single shot? HAHAHAHAH" and similar. Especially when you as casual player ask for advice and anything that comes back is making fun of you, that isn't a healthy thing to keep you playing. But the main reason, what I already explained, is that upcoming content will mostly be made after the most active player's wishes. Those that do that incredible amount of damage. Ofc they want a challenge, so the bosses will be strong af and what not. So as casual player you need like 5 times, or more, the time to beat those bosses. And that takes the fun out, especially if you have to farm those bosses in an event. what was your best DPS damage one hit you had when third area dropped and after? Mine was 30k. Next best was 10k when lucky. I bet you have like at least 60k or more. It is not a matter of being unable to clear the events, but how long it takes. And especially for casual player, they just want to log in, farm their dailies and done. But that takes enough on it's own. Then add an event with a strong boss, and boom, not enough time. Again, this is not about the story, but farming and time. You mean the coop where you do as casual player like 10% damage of the total at best when playing with addicts? Worst case they even make fun of you, or troll you. And what's the difference of standing in a corner and doing nothing compared to fight with them and getting one hit before sb one-shots the boss? That isn't fun at all. Also if you have to rely on help on anything for other players in a game to enjoy it, even thou the game is made to be also enjoyable in single player, that that's not good
17:25 I think there's actually lots of characters like that in these comic/movies universes. Superman Vs The Elite is basically a bunch of Edgy pricks trying to get Superman mad so he will kill someone and prove that he's a menace... all that while almost killing lots of people.
Yeah, Max oversimplified Mondstadt and the Wolf Problem. Mondstadt went through 2 tyranical rules in the lore (first by the previous god Decarabian, then by an aristocracy) so what MHGR described has already happened actually: After the first rebellion, the current god (Barbatos) refused to rule his people. 1000 years later the Aristocracy became despot tyrants, so the second rebellion happened. This time around Barbatos left 4 guardians in charge before fucking off again. One of them estabilished a Knight Order to protect the city and soft-manage it to prevent another tyranical rule from happening. As for the Wolf Problem, SPOILER ALERT the "problem" in question wasn't the local wolves but rather a bunch of wolf-like abyss monsters trying to muscle their way into Wolvendom. The local wolves are pretty chill (pun intended) and don't attack unless provoked or hunting food.
It's actually kind of funny: only a very small portion of Teyvat's population gets granted a Vision, which is how they get to gain control over one of the elements -- and nobody really knows the criteria behind why someone gets one, and why others are denied them. They say one is granted once one's ambition becomes powerful enough, and that's fine for someone like Jean (the leader of a nation's organization) or Beidou (the 'pirate waifu' whose network and fleet is probably the largest in the world), but then there's Klee, whose childish behaviour bespeaks zero ambition, and yet she has a Pyro Vision, and the similarly-young Diona, who got hers after saving a spring fairy despite not knowing what it was. And we only recently found it is not the Archons, but Celestia that grants Visions anyway, which gets even weirder considering how little its involved with the world of Teyvat (and thank goodness, the last time they got involved they destroyed an entire nation). So most of the characters we meet who have Visions get them for reasons that remain unexplained (and one of them didn't even want one because that would mean relying on power given by a god rather than using earned power), and of course because the player controls Vision-holders (also called Allogenes or Genshin), that means most of them (or maybe all of them) will likely end up in the players' rosters by the end of the game. Yes, even the Archons, who don't technically _have_ Visions, but Gnoses instead. It's pretty wild. Incidentally the player character (Aether or Lumine depending on which twin you pick at the start) doesn't have a Vision either, but insteads absorbs elemental control each time they arrive in another country. That's why Max0r says we're 'navigating _Avatar: The Last Airbender_ for weebs.' I can't say he's entirely wrong. And I don't particularly care about the info harvesting of the game's anti-cheat since I don't plan on ending up in a leadership role in any corporation or government. The best I've got is Toastmasters, which is a volunteer organization anyway, and even if I end up as International President, I don't think I could offer the CCCP anything of value to them. And by the way, the little girl with a talisman stuck to her forehead is Qiqi, a thousand-year-old zombie who was given her Vision in basically the last second of her life before becoming a zombie. And if you think that's tragic, her power then went out of control, and the supernatural beings of Liyue were then forced to trap her in amber until she could control it hundreds of years later. Qiqi can't, both fortunately and unfortunately, form new memories, so she doesn't remember the tragedy of her origin as a zombie. So at least she's spared that. If she does want to remember something, she writes it down in a notebook she carries. As an additional quirk, having found she must obey her master's orders, she frequently gives orders _to herself_ . She also stretches so her joints won't become stiff like those of a typical zombie. The writers thought stuff like this out.
Qiqi is also based off of a Jiangshi, a kind of vampire that hops because their joints are so stiff they can't walk, which, funnily enough, kills people to steal their Qi, or life-force
I was there when he made his now deleted "a hat in time" videos and believe me him liking anime women would be considered an improvement to his taste considering what he was saying in those videos
Going to need to give some context, love Max0r and MHGR, but at this point, Max0r was new to Genshin and most of his info came from memes from his own admission and so the information in the video is most comedic but factually is a little off. I specialize in Cybersecurity and have been playing both Honkai and Genshin in a Virtual Machine for quite a bit of time, so MiHoYo, now known as Hoyoverse has had an extremely rocky relationship with China especially due to the heavy lesbian influence in Honkai Impact 3rd, Hoyoverse had usually gotten away with having girls kiss and then half-heartedly saying they are just friends however more recently Hoyoverse has been getting bolder by now publishing games outside of China through a company called Cognosphere based in Singapore and rebranded their main company internationally as Hoyoverse to get away with less censorship while China and the CCP has been pushing more censorship. On the CN Servers the censorship is mandatory however everywhere else it is optional and Hoyoverse is painfully aware it is pissing off China and taking steps to stop the CCP's crackdown on them. Now, most of his lore-based stuff was mostly jokes against the egregious actions of the CCP. In reality neither Mondsadt or Liyue are really pro-China, Mondstadt is a Country based on Germany, where the God of Freedom rules without a single parties control and so the Knights and The Church of The God of Freedom share slight rule, the primary antagonist of the game is so far the Abyss Order(order of darkness stuff) and The Fatui(Russians) where the Fatui try to destabilize countries and steal godly powers. Liyue is a country based on old Dynasty China. Liyue is interesting because its god directly controls the nation through contracts and prosperity after the god stops its control, the divine beings of Liyue and the humans of Liyue quarrel about how humans should control the country, it later decided that the humans would govern themselves rather than the divine and the people would have to step it up while associating too much control is a bad thing. Inazuma based on ancient Japan(the video came pre Inazuma) is a closed nation of heavy control and authority where we oppose the tyrannical government under a rule of a murderous god, join a resistance, and change the minds of the people in charge. We later befriend everyone, including the gods and a little of the Fatui, but these are very rough summaries. So I personally do recommend Honkai and Genshin, its anticheat isn't any more shitty than anything EA and Activision put out and if you are still worried, try Virtual Machines, but if you feel that anything that might be associated with China is evil that is fine as well. Otherwise its a fun video.
The age of consent is like the number of rat hairs that you're legally allowed to have in a hotdog. If you have to look it up, you're doing something messed up and you need to stop.
Oh yeah. Both _Genshin_ and _HI3_ have characters who, if you get them, make things _much_ easier, especially full-geared. This is, of course, where the temptation lies. You _can_ farm the resources you need to get and arm them for free, but that takes _time_ . And patience. If you want them _now_ , all you have to do is sink about $300 into it. Unfortunately I'm not kidding. And that's to guarantee getting them _once_ . Both games carry systems where copies of the same character allow you to increase that character's powers, and sometimes significantly. In _Genshin_ this is 'constellations,' and in _HI3_ it's how you can make a Valkyrie's battlesuit SS or SSS-ranked. Fortunately there aren't many must-have characters, and all characters _are_ viable if you build them to be what you want. Even dedicated healer Barbara can be a DPS unit if you want, and with enough HP, even a tank. I've recently built Kokomi, who is a more recently-released healer because a new area introduced enemies that heal if they attack a shielded character, which was what was anchoring all my teams before that point. Kokomi can not only somehow melt through enemies despite using water, she's also tanky as all heck against most common enemies, and will only get more so as I hunt for better artifacts to buff her with even more. Some of the most popular characters to field include the unlucky Bennett due to his buff and heal field, Ganyu because her double-charged shot hits like a rocket launcher, Zhongli because he has the most powerful shields in the game (Noelle has the second most powerful shields, but they don't stay up for as long. Plus she can't drop a meteor on your enemies... yet. She just makes her sword giant and golden instead), and Hu Tao because Pyro hits hard and she can heal herself (Xiangling is an acceptable substitute). People also get characters because of how they look, and Mihoyo knows exactly what they're doing when they release characters like Zhongli, Arataki Itto, Ganyu, Raiden Shogun, and Shenhe. Certainly, almost all Cryo-users are ironically _hot_ . Actually, the only ones who aren't attractive are the little girls, whom I collectively call 'chibikos' so I don't have to ever refer to them as 'lolis,' except for just now. But yes, everyone is viable. Except that in _HI3_ you need the most powerful characters if you want to take on the endgame content, otherwise Abyss _will_ flatten your whole team in seconds.
I'm playing genshin for almost a year and I should give you some of my insights, I don't know who suggested you this video but whoever did, didn't do a good job, as it's mostly for players who enjoyed the game a little.......1st this video is almost 100% meme-y or sarcastic, I didn't come to this game from any anime or weeb community, I enjoyed it just because it's a very good RPG game in terms of lore, world-building and combat........some r genuine misinformation here as the malware confusion which really happened at the launch but was removed soon after, the gacha system and enjoying the game is not AT ALL money dependent, whatever you spend is totally luxury. Yeah the genshin social media is a total mess as there r a lot of inexperienced people who can't take any constructive criticism that actually helps the devs to correct some mistakes. And for the "waifu simulator" don't judge a book by it's cover as there is absolutely 0 lewd content in game, in game "the child with superpower" not at all careless toward people, the wolfs don't eat children lol (they r some of the guardians of Mondstadt which is not based on US but Germany), characters here r of age ranging from 8-40, it's not about glorifying underage people (and please don't try to think people play this game for being attracted to children, BTW I love Klee as she is soo cute that I want to adopt her as my child).........I love this game just like I loved Witcher, Assasssins creed, Souls and Zelda games. I'm not at all criticizing you but it hurts when people r fed misinformation about the things you love.
Suggesting this video is great, but the jokes really fly over his head. He takes most stuff too seriously, thing that no one should do when talking about Max0r.
@@blueveil3277 That's exactly why i'm telling it's not ok to suggest this video to a clueless person.....yeah it's a great video and we enjoy it very much but it's obvious that a person who don't know anything about the game will have wrong ideas....it's not only him, I have seen some other people too....for context there is a channel called Chicago reacts who reacted to this video, their reactions was almost ok but just hear at the conclusion they came.....it'll hurt your soul if you love the game.
Btw I wouldn't say that Hoyoverse, previously known as Mihoyo, don't have anything against America, or Muslims and the depictions of the Hillichurls and Mondstat are pure coincidence. In the case of the Hillichurls its been seen that they're really just inspired by african tribes, take that as you may. Also they depicted their CEO as a hillichurl, the unusual hillichurl. As for Mondstat, I dunno about you but when I hear wine industry, knights, at least 2 revolutions, and principles about freedom, the U.S doesn't come to mind. Mondstat really is just a mishmash of multiple european cultures ain't a lick of yankee in there. Hoyo don't come off as racist or a company with an agenda, trust me if they were always about "China no.1" I wouldn't have played their games for the past 4 years. I do however notice they have a hard on for Germany, Russia (and any former soviet bloc nation), and Japan.
It's Hoyoverse, even the "Most Evil" side has its reasons for do what they do (and yes, Abyss Order is included in the list). Not to say that they are always *good* reasons for what they do, but at least there are reasons you can understand (and in some cases sympathize), not, for example, a "BWahahaha, I will steal 40 cakes because!" motivation. Even the Not!Russia of Genshin (that as far as I have read seems to me a mix of Zarist Russia and USSR) and the Archon of Ice at the helm are working for a 'good' goal, even if the methods... yeah, they reflect all too well and realistically the sources used.
If you want an actual analysis of the game you could watch "a serious critique of genshin impact" by NeverKnowsBest, it's probably the best analysis I ever saw of this game as a player since release. It is however a 1 hour and 40 minutes video but id say is worth if you care about the game. Unless you just wanted to watch funny maxor which is also fine
That's cringe. You're both cringe. I'm going to lift extra hard in the gym now to burn off the second-hand cringe I got from reading this. If I ever catch my girl playing genshit impact, I'm kicking her to the curb.
I would like to clear up some things. First off all, the game developers don't have a very good relationship with the Chinese government and have actually gotten in trouble a few times already. Second, neither nation is portrayed as better than the other. Third. The game is actually telling us to sympathize with the hillichurls. Genshin actually has some really interesting takes on religion and Philosophy and draws a lot of inspiration from a lot of different cultures. The game devs have said that they want to spread the beauty of a lot of different cultures to the rest of the world.
Something rather interesting that you don't see talked about too much, and that is almost exclusive to video games when it comes to exporting media to China, instead of working the international concept/story/cast of an ip to aline with ccp standards they'll in many cases not even bother and create an Entire Separate Game For The Chinese Market. I'm not joking or over exaggerating sometimes the only thing the International Version and Chinese Version of a game will have in common is the General Outlines and Title, leading to some rather fascinating outcomes and situations like exclusive features for the Chinese version cause "hey why risk complicating an entire International Version with a feature that potentially won't bring in any additional revenue or players" where they use China as a workshop ground to see what concepts stick and if they don't or would only work well in that environment will remain exclusive to said version, as well after a game inevitably becomes unpopular or the guidelines for what is acceptable change these unique version will simply shut down and disappear into the ether becoming the most potent form of Lost Media many people outside of China will never have known existed yet may have had massive impacts on the community it was given to...
For the next video, I recommend 'Chaos Corruption' by the Amber King. I'd like to hear your opinions on the matter, as well as some examples you can teach us about. Perhaps even explain real life counterparts you've experienced during your career as a soldier.
Ring zero basically means genshin has full permission too all data on the computer. In the genshin the powers are given to people at random and their power depends entirely on their personality.

This. Pizza was created as a poor's meal. When poor italian families made pasta, the dough leftovers were gathered and used to make pizza, and the pizza sauce was just the sauce used with the pasta.
10:18 Yep, I already knew when I saw a Chinese detergent commercial where I kid you not, a woman sees a black dude in a laundry room she gets him into the washer, turns it on and he comes out a Chinese guy wearing the same clothes only now they're clean.
18:55 Mondstat and Liyue are at the opposite ends of the spectrum when it came down to "Freedom" and "Regulations", as far as I have been able to understand it. Considering that Liyue is basically Not!China in the game, surprisingly too.

About good/bad characters, there's really no bad characters, since the game is relatively easy (while still fun). The rarer ones look way cooler usually though, and that's the appeal ^~^

Went crabbing for Chesapeake Bay Blues as often as I could out in Newport News. Chicken legs were always the best bait.

32:25 man, it’s so sad what scammers have done to NFTs. The tech is cool (cryptography secure, impossible to lose/refute digital contracts) and has nothing to do with “art”. But now people will only ever see it as an art scam. I hate people.
The game was Chinese made, but the company recently left China due to restrictive creativity. However in game the areas themselves are based on different countries Germany/Japan/China and so on
I tried to play Genshin Impact for a couple of weeks. Even got a few 5 Star characters. I’ll even admit that the elemental combo combat style is pretty cool. I put it down like a hyena with rabies and never looked back.
I really think you should try reviewing some more Rimmy Downruner. The video you did of him is one of the funniest, but he has several which are very realistic (not milsim tho), which I think you will enjoy a lot.

The textbooks on how to design mobile games, one example being Mobile & Social Game Design (2014), almost all say this system is a must have for any F2P game that wish to earn money. Genshin does this particularly well because it actually lets you do content even if you run out of resin, you just don't get any rewards for them. You do get a prompt to buy more Resin however.
@Blueberry You can replenish resin with primogems 5 or so times a day. Also, you CAN buy your way through to progress faster (kind of), but that will be too expensive in a long term and inefficient too.
Also fragile resin
Not to forget that resin is only important if you want to grind your characters to the maximum. I think resin is something only whales spend money on
yeah, its a common game mechanic to force players to not consume all the content at once, thereby making the developers life easier releasing new content, keep users from getting bored too soon. Even Animal Crossing is somewhat similar with time based content, theres only so much you can do a day in game, unlike Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley where you can sleep to go to the next day and rush through the game. While Mobile games that are "free to play," wave the option to rush build or continue playing the game, for money. Very powerful game mechanic to keep players playing and spending.
so basically they knocked 2 issues with 1 stone, they slow down the speed of the content getting consumed and accidentally supports the CCP regulation at the same time.
Genshen impact is cool and all but did you know that tf2 has a story. There are comics that explain the plot in great detail and I think it would be great if you made a video on it.
Yeah and i think there's a tf2 comic dub by The Beard channel irc

Well let’s see what Paul can teach us while Maxor talks about Chinese waifus
I love this. Only Paul could take Max0r displaying a single image of a regular crab on his screen and spontaneously and naturally bring up a totally related anecdote about crabs
As we talk about society building:
One of my favourite thing about reading on the origins of social and political order is that basically everything essentially starts the same which is:
_"Small groups form of which the stronger turn to rob the weaker. At some point some of these bandits settled down and stopped to rob, but now extorted the population, making sure they would be able to collect the revenue by warding off other roaming bandits. Thus proto-city states and centralised violence emerged."_
TL;DR: The grandfather's of states are basically always violent lawless bandit groups.
For maximum Max0r amphetamine output, you need to watch his two part Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance review.
It's all of his madness, distilled into a concentrated substance strong enough to burn a hole through the upper mantle.
I believe he said it's on his to do list
@@flaviusiacob1558 Nice.
Max0r's content is of a type I'd call "meme saturated". Where there is about as much memes on the topic, as there is actual content. Or more.
@@pirig-gal It's like I'm being indoctrinated into some crazy meme-based cult every time I watch one of his videos. It's so overstimulating that you have no chance to do anything but soak it all in.

Genshin has some subtleties here and there that im sure sparks Chinese censorship. But Hoyoverse's big baby project Honkai Impact has enough shit to make the skeletal corpse of chairman Mao to shit in his grave. From aggressively gay characters under the just good friends pretense to a lot of commentary on corrupt political systems mixed with an Evangelion inspired depression simulator story mixed with fast paced DMC combat. Its pretty crazy that not only is Hoyoverse still around being a Chinese company. They have been banking with walking the line on what they can get away with.
Honestly, it makes me happy to think that Mihoyo is saying "fuck you" to the CCP as much they can
this makes me feel a little better about the fact that genshin impact has ring 0 permissions on my pc, since at least the company running isn't going to be letting the ccp steal my data. now i can rest assured that my data will only be stolen for perfectly reasonable capitalist reasons. it isn't a surveillance state if it's corporations that are watching you!
@@drdecidueye9461 i think they actually patched the anticheat down so it wasn't so controversial a while ago. At least I think they did.
@@daysand123 yeah i checked. it used to run when the game wasn't running, and stayed on even after they uninstalled. they patched it big time and apologised. the sad part is that an american software could probably get away with having their ring 0 anticheat run when the game isn't running purely because people aren't generally as sus of the us government or us corporations.
@@drdecidueye9461 yeah take literally all of ubisoft or whatever Bethesda makes. Pretty sure Doom Eternal only got its anti cheat with ring zero kernel removed because its fucking Doom and people weren't gonna ignore that without glorykilling some company Twitter pages.
Funny enough we can't associate genshin with ccp jokes anymore because the company has fled the country and changed name to avoid them meaning its a slightly better game than it used to when Max0r reviewed it
I had no clue thats why the name changed.
CCP was like "no more TRAPS"
Hoyo was like "FUCK YOU MORE TRAPS"
@@RosyBramble this comment above is just not true, for more information: they didn't change name to avoid ccp or escape china, more than 40% of their revenue comes from china, so if they want to keep that huge amount of money, want it or not, they have to comply with the censorship rules, even if the company isnt from china, they have to follow the rules, look at PUBG, they tailor fitted the game just for china to accept it and allow it to be distributed in china, because their is so much money and market in china, mihoyo actually changed names to hoyoverse because they want to expand their brands besides games, they plan to go into software making, anime, and other things.
@@catsouplover7745 I thought that smelled fishy, yeah. Glad that suspicion seems justified.
I assume these figures can be verified?
@@johnj.spurgin7037 yeah, the numbers are a little sus since i could only find genshins revenue and not hoyoverse as a whole, but its still a good guide line, china contributes between 25-40 % of money, it depends on the year and banner of course.

Ah Worm, The story of how strong/terrifying the abiliy to control bugs can be. Such a cool powersystem too.
@@sirapple589 Cool powersystem? Oh sure, either you have a Two-Face (or Joker) level of Bad Day or you pay out of your nose (or sell your soul) to the bootleg Illuminati of the setting.
25:44 - Yeah, no, that's literally like a lion's mane. A hilichurl's entire head is covered in that white fur, save for the mask on its face. Really reaching hard for the comparison, fam. You can honestly compare ANY fantasy race to a real-world parallel if you rationalise it enough.
To be fair the devlopers of this game (Hoyoverse) have always straddled the line of what is acceptable by the CCP's standards. They've been slowly moving their assets out of China over the years.
I think the only reason they haven't been doing so at a faster rate is because they don't want to draw too much attention from the CCP, since the government is very much aware of Hoyoverse's success.
Given Xi's open eagerness to restore certain doctrines that Mao used to push, I wouldn't be surprised if Hoyoverse higher ups are starting to feel the focus of the authoritarian magnifying glass intensify.
Greetings to Paul; Glad to see you enduring another Maxor video.
Btw, Bricky has a new Warhammer video, if you're interested.
30:00 technically, no character in the game is bad. You'll just need more effort to make them match others. Ive seen some people outdamage me while using the "worst" character in the game.
That is what being bad means. If you need high effort to make them decent they are bad.
@@zakanyimen yeah, as casual you stand no chance to those addicts that one-shot any boss. And ofc events and upcoming bosses are made for those addicts, so they are thrilled... really takes/took the fun out of a lot of games
@@zakanyimen Ah no, bad means that no matter what effort you put out on making them decent they just can't even be decent. That's what a bad character is, and so far even Amber (literal worst character in the game) can be built well.
@@zirpharis For one, I'm a casual player. I usually play 3-4 other games a day so I can't focus much on Genshin but so far I haven't seen why *other players* one shoting bosses takes fun from *your* game.
Genshin is not a PVP game, there's not even a leaderboard or anything that you need to compete in, so how does other player's success matter to your game? Are you just comparing yourself to them then? Basically feeling inferior from players that shouldn't matter to you?
And the events and bosses are made for those addicts? you sure about that?
Cause I sure haven't encountered an event that I could not clear because I lack the characters or something(they even let you trial out characters for that expressive purpose) It's also the reason why the Primogems are always the first rewards in every one of those event challenges with mora as the last reward for particularly great results so that you can at least have the most valuable reward even if you suck at it.
And I'm pretty sure the first time you play against those bosses, they nerf the hell out of those bosses(Shogun fight) or buff your characters(Ei fight) just to make it so that every players can clear it.
As for the repeat clearing of every domains for farming or killing a world boss? who said you need to do it alone? the coop is there for a reason. I for one relied on my teammates in the past to clear Childe's domain every week because of how hard that sh*t was when he just came out(they nerfed him now to make it more balanced)
@@ubeia4857 well first of the competition, ofc there is no PvP, but there is this toxic fandom with "What you can't do 60k with a single shot? HAHAHAHAH" and similar. Especially when you as casual player ask for advice and anything that comes back is making fun of you, that isn't a healthy thing to keep you playing.
But the main reason, what I already explained, is that upcoming content will mostly be made after the most active player's wishes. Those that do that incredible amount of damage. Ofc they want a challenge, so the bosses will be strong af and what not. So as casual player you need like 5 times, or more, the time to beat those bosses. And that takes the fun out, especially if you have to farm those bosses in an event.
what was your best DPS damage one hit you had when third area dropped and after? Mine was 30k. Next best was 10k when lucky. I bet you have like at least 60k or more. It is not a matter of being unable to clear the events, but how long it takes. And especially for casual player, they just want to log in, farm their dailies and done. But that takes enough on it's own. Then add an event with a strong boss, and boom, not enough time.
Again, this is not about the story, but farming and time.
You mean the coop where you do as casual player like 10% damage of the total at best when playing with addicts? Worst case they even make fun of you, or troll you. And what's the difference of standing in a corner and doing nothing compared to fight with them and getting one hit before sb one-shots the boss? That isn't fun at all. Also if you have to rely on help on anything for other players in a game to enjoy it, even thou the game is made to be also enjoyable in single player, that that's not good
17:25 I think there's actually lots of characters like that in these comic/movies universes. Superman Vs The Elite is basically a bunch of Edgy pricks trying to get Superman mad so he will kill someone and prove that he's a menace... all that while almost killing lots of people.
Yeah, Max oversimplified Mondstadt and the Wolf Problem.
Mondstadt went through 2 tyranical rules in the lore (first by the previous god Decarabian, then by an aristocracy) so what MHGR described has already happened actually:
After the first rebellion, the current god (Barbatos) refused to rule his people. 1000 years later the Aristocracy became despot tyrants, so the second rebellion happened. This time around Barbatos left 4 guardians in charge before fucking off again. One of them estabilished a Knight Order to protect the city and soft-manage it to prevent another tyranical rule from happening.
As for the Wolf Problem, SPOILER ALERT the "problem" in question wasn't the local wolves but rather a bunch of wolf-like abyss monsters trying to muscle their way into Wolvendom. The local wolves are pretty chill (pun intended) and don't attack unless provoked or hunting food.
It's actually kind of funny: only a very small portion of Teyvat's population gets granted a Vision, which is how they get to gain control over one of the elements -- and nobody really knows the criteria behind why someone gets one, and why others are denied them. They say one is granted once one's ambition becomes powerful enough, and that's fine for someone like Jean (the leader of a nation's organization) or Beidou (the 'pirate waifu' whose network and fleet is probably the largest in the world), but then there's Klee, whose childish behaviour bespeaks zero ambition, and yet she has a Pyro Vision, and the similarly-young Diona, who got hers after saving a spring fairy despite not knowing what it was. And we only recently found it is not the Archons, but Celestia that grants Visions anyway, which gets even weirder considering how little its involved with the world of Teyvat (and thank goodness, the last time they got involved they destroyed an entire nation). So most of the characters we meet who have Visions get them for reasons that remain unexplained (and one of them didn't even want one because that would mean relying on power given by a god rather than using earned power), and of course because the player controls Vision-holders (also called Allogenes or Genshin), that means most of them (or maybe all of them) will likely end up in the players' rosters by the end of the game. Yes, even the Archons, who don't technically _have_ Visions, but Gnoses instead. It's pretty wild. Incidentally the player character (Aether or Lumine depending on which twin you pick at the start) doesn't have a Vision either, but insteads absorbs elemental control each time they arrive in another country. That's why Max0r says we're 'navigating _Avatar: The Last Airbender_ for weebs.' I can't say he's entirely wrong.
And I don't particularly care about the info harvesting of the game's anti-cheat since I don't plan on ending up in a leadership role in any corporation or government. The best I've got is Toastmasters, which is a volunteer organization anyway, and even if I end up as International President, I don't think I could offer the CCCP anything of value to them.
And by the way, the little girl with a talisman stuck to her forehead is Qiqi, a thousand-year-old zombie who was given her Vision in basically the last second of her life before becoming a zombie. And if you think that's tragic, her power then went out of control, and the supernatural beings of Liyue were then forced to trap her in amber until she could control it hundreds of years later. Qiqi can't, both fortunately and unfortunately, form new memories, so she doesn't remember the tragedy of her origin as a zombie. So at least she's spared that. If she does want to remember something, she writes it down in a notebook she carries. As an additional quirk, having found she must obey her master's orders, she frequently gives orders _to herself_ . She also stretches so her joints won't become stiff like those of a typical zombie. The writers thought stuff like this out.
Qiqi is also based off of a Jiangshi, a kind of vampire that hops because their joints are so stiff they can't walk, which, funnily enough, kills people to steal their Qi, or life-force

Yikes
Going to need to give some context, love Max0r and MHGR, but at this point, Max0r was new to Genshin and most of his info came from memes from his own admission and so the information in the video is most comedic but factually is a little off.
I specialize in Cybersecurity and have been playing both Honkai and Genshin in a Virtual Machine for quite a bit of time, so MiHoYo, now known as Hoyoverse has had an extremely rocky relationship with China especially due to the heavy lesbian influence in Honkai Impact 3rd, Hoyoverse had usually gotten away with having girls kiss and then half-heartedly saying they are just friends however more recently Hoyoverse has been getting bolder by now publishing games outside of China through a company called Cognosphere based in Singapore and rebranded their main company internationally as Hoyoverse to get away with less censorship while China and the CCP has been pushing more censorship.
On the CN Servers the censorship is mandatory however everywhere else it is optional and Hoyoverse is painfully aware it is pissing off China and taking steps to stop the CCP's crackdown on them.
Now, most of his lore-based stuff was mostly jokes against the egregious actions of the CCP.
In reality neither Mondsadt or Liyue are really pro-China, Mondstadt is a Country based on Germany, where the God of Freedom rules without a single parties control and so the Knights and The Church of The God of Freedom share slight rule, the primary antagonist of the game is so far the Abyss Order(order of darkness stuff) and The Fatui(Russians) where the Fatui try to destabilize countries and steal godly powers.
Liyue is a country based on old Dynasty China. Liyue is interesting because its god directly controls the nation through contracts and prosperity after the god stops its control, the divine beings of Liyue and the humans of Liyue quarrel about how humans should control the country, it later decided that the humans would govern themselves rather than the divine and the people would have to step it up while associating too much control is a bad thing.
Inazuma based on ancient Japan(the video came pre Inazuma) is a closed nation of heavy control and authority where we oppose the tyrannical government under a rule of a murderous god, join a resistance, and change the minds of the people in charge.
We later befriend everyone, including the gods and a little of the Fatui, but these are very rough summaries.
So I personally do recommend Honkai and Genshin, its anticheat isn't any more shitty than anything EA and Activision put out and if you are still worried, try Virtual Machines, but if you feel that anything that might be associated with China is evil that is fine as well. Otherwise its a fun video.

The age of consent is like the number of rat hairs that you're legally allowed to have in a hotdog. If you have to look it up, you're doing something messed up and you need to stop.
Oh yeah. Both _Genshin_ and _HI3_ have characters who, if you get them, make things _much_ easier, especially full-geared. This is, of course, where the temptation lies. You _can_ farm the resources you need to get and arm them for free, but that takes _time_ . And patience. If you want them _now_ , all you have to do is sink about $300 into it. Unfortunately I'm not kidding. And that's to guarantee getting them _once_ . Both games carry systems where copies of the same character allow you to increase that character's powers, and sometimes significantly. In _Genshin_ this is 'constellations,' and in _HI3_ it's how you can make a Valkyrie's battlesuit SS or SSS-ranked.
Fortunately there aren't many must-have characters, and all characters _are_ viable if you build them to be what you want. Even dedicated healer Barbara can be a DPS unit if you want, and with enough HP, even a tank. I've recently built Kokomi, who is a more recently-released healer because a new area introduced enemies that heal if they attack a shielded character, which was what was anchoring all my teams before that point. Kokomi can not only somehow melt through enemies despite using water, she's also tanky as all heck against most common enemies, and will only get more so as I hunt for better artifacts to buff her with even more.
Some of the most popular characters to field include the unlucky Bennett due to his buff and heal field, Ganyu because her double-charged shot hits like a rocket launcher, Zhongli because he has the most powerful shields in the game (Noelle has the second most powerful shields, but they don't stay up for as long. Plus she can't drop a meteor on your enemies... yet. She just makes her sword giant and golden instead), and Hu Tao because Pyro hits hard and she can heal herself (Xiangling is an acceptable substitute). People also get characters because of how they look, and Mihoyo knows exactly what they're doing when they release characters like Zhongli, Arataki Itto, Ganyu, Raiden Shogun, and Shenhe. Certainly, almost all Cryo-users are ironically _hot_ . Actually, the only ones who aren't attractive are the little girls, whom I collectively call 'chibikos' so I don't have to ever refer to them as 'lolis,' except for just now.
But yes, everyone is viable. Except that in _HI3_ you need the most powerful characters if you want to take on the endgame content, otherwise Abyss _will_ flatten your whole team in seconds.
I'm playing genshin for almost a year and I should give you some of my insights, I don't know who suggested you this video but whoever did, didn't do a good job, as it's mostly for players who enjoyed the game a little.......1st this video is almost 100% meme-y or sarcastic, I didn't come to this game from any anime or weeb community, I enjoyed it just because it's a very good RPG game in terms of lore, world-building and combat........some r genuine misinformation here as the malware confusion which really happened at the launch but was removed soon after, the gacha system and enjoying the game is not AT ALL money dependent, whatever you spend is totally luxury. Yeah the genshin social media is a total mess as there r a lot of inexperienced people who can't take any constructive criticism that actually helps the devs to correct some mistakes. And for the "waifu simulator" don't judge a book by it's cover as there is absolutely 0 lewd content in game, in game "the child with superpower" not at all careless toward people, the wolfs don't eat children lol (they r some of the guardians of Mondstadt which is not based on US but Germany), characters here r of age ranging from 8-40, it's not about glorifying underage people (and please don't try to think people play this game for being attracted to children, BTW I love Klee as she is soo cute that I want to adopt her as my child).........I love this game just like I loved Witcher, Assasssins creed, Souls and Zelda games.

Btw I wouldn't say that Hoyoverse, previously known as Mihoyo, don't have anything against America, or Muslims and the depictions of the Hillichurls and Mondstat are pure coincidence. In the case of the Hillichurls its been seen that they're really just inspired by african tribes, take that as you may. Also they depicted their CEO as a hillichurl, the unusual hillichurl. As for Mondstat, I dunno about you but when I hear wine industry, knights, at least 2 revolutions, and principles about freedom, the U.S doesn't come to mind. Mondstat really is just a mishmash of multiple european cultures ain't a lick of yankee in there.
Hoyo don't come off as racist or a company with an agenda, trust me if they were always about "China no.1" I wouldn't have played their games for the past 4 years. I do however notice they have a hard on for Germany, Russia (and any former soviet bloc nation), and Japan.
It's Hoyoverse, even the "Most Evil" side has its reasons for do what they do (and yes, Abyss Order is included in the list). Not to say that they are always *good* reasons for what they do, but at least there are reasons you can understand (and in some cases sympathize), not, for example, a "BWahahaha, I will steal 40 cakes because!" motivation.
Even the Not!Russia of Genshin (that as far as I have read seems to me a mix of Zarist Russia and USSR) and the Archon of Ice at the helm are working for a 'good' goal, even if the methods... yeah, they reflect all too well and realistically the sources used.
If you want an actual analysis of the game you could watch "a serious critique of genshin impact" by NeverKnowsBest, it's probably the best analysis I ever saw of this game as a player since release.

I facking die everytime at the afganistan comparison of the political and geographics of genshin map xD
Mondstadt isn't really based off US, but rather a mixed European origin with strong traces of Switzerland, Belgium and Italy.
I would like to clear up some things.
First off all, the game developers don't have a very good relationship with the Chinese government and have actually gotten in trouble a few times already.
Second, neither nation is portrayed as better than the other.
Third. The game is actually telling us to sympathize with the hillichurls.
Genshin actually has some really interesting takes on religion and Philosophy and draws a lot of inspiration from a lot of different cultures. The game devs have said that they want to spread the beauty of a lot of different cultures to the rest of the world.
Something rather interesting that you don't see talked about too much, and that is almost exclusive to video games when it comes to exporting media to China, instead of working the international concept/story/cast of an ip to aline with ccp standards they'll in many cases not even bother and create an Entire Separate Game For The Chinese Market. I'm not joking or over exaggerating sometimes the only thing the International Version and Chinese Version of a game will have in common is the General Outlines and Title, leading to some rather fascinating outcomes and situations like exclusive features for the Chinese version cause "hey why risk complicating an entire International Version with a feature that potentially won't bring in any additional revenue or players" where they use China as a workshop ground to see what concepts stick and if they don't or would only work well in that environment will remain exclusive to said version, as well after a game inevitably becomes unpopular or the guidelines for what is acceptable change these unique version will simply shut down and disappear into the ether becoming the most potent form of Lost Media many people outside of China will never have known existed yet may have had massive impacts on the community it was given to...

This is the only reaction channel I've found that reliably takes several 3-5 minuet detours to talk about everything from ways to abuse crabs for their lacking brainpower to the necessity for some sort of governmental oversight at a certain point of population density.
I don't even care if it's scripted; these minute plus long tangents make my day.
Hey Paul SovietWomble just release a new rising storm 2 vietnam bullshittery part so it would be nice to have you react to that series.
"Where's the VC?"
"EVERYWHERE"
About pizza: It's Italian. Just because tomatoes were brought over from America, doesn't mean the dish wasn't created in Italy.
This. Pizza was created as a poor's meal.
When poor italian families made pasta, the dough leftovers were gathered and used to make pizza, and the pizza sauce was just the sauce used with the pasta.
That crab tangent was profound
The biggest thing i'm surprised beside him watching the Genshin video, is that he did it before watching the Project Wingman or the MGR one
What's funny is that this entire video is jokes but he's thorough enough to break down everything in it as if it was a correct summary
10:18 Yep, I already knew when I saw a Chinese detergent commercial where I kid you not, a woman sees a black dude in a laundry room she gets him into the washer, turns it on and he comes out a Chinese guy wearing the same clothes only now they're clean.
17:41 if you wanna see how much a edgy teen with super powers can be scary you should watch Akira
Damn, your thumbnail game is really stepping up!
18:55 Mondstat and Liyue are at the opposite ends of the spectrum when it came down to "Freedom" and "Regulations", as far as I have been able to understand it. Considering that Liyue is basically Not!China in the game, surprisingly too.
Like how you immediately think that 18 is the age of majority, even though it's different for a bunch of countries.... including yours.
25:24 Nah, it's just video game logic.
About good/bad characters, there's really no bad characters, since the game is relatively easy (while still fun). The rarer ones look way cooler usually though, and that's the appeal ^~^
The real story for ganyu is that she was a fat child, her master tells us things like "ganyu was so chubby she would roll down the hills" and things like that
Ngl this game is good to the point you can play it everyday, unless you check twitter of this game's fandom, Paul everything is fine, just ignore the fandom
me waiting for a dude named James to actually watch Maxor's Genshin review:
6:48 excuse me, it’s a sexy husbando collector game as well
I can't wait to see you watch his metal gear videos. Those are his magnum opus!
Especially MGR ones ( he alr watched part 1 )
Went crabbing for Chesapeake Bay Blues as often as I could out in Newport News. Chicken legs were always the best bait. These one's were slightly smarter though, as you couldn't quite get them out of the water. You also had to be quick with the net because if they caught a glimpse of it going over them, they would bolt off.
1:11 ok, but what if your gf is into anime girls herself? I'm too scared to think of an answer
Paul can climb mount everest two times over with all these reaches
16:00 that aint no joke prc officials touch themselves when thinking about that
Are you a motherfucking Evangelion reference
Over here in germany we literally have 14y crack addicted nymphomaniacs, i shit you not.
17:23 *ALL OF THE SASUKE MEMES*
imagine getting to adventure rank 1000 in Genshin
32:25 man, it’s so sad what scammers have done to NFTs. The tech is cool (cryptography secure, impossible to lose/refute digital contracts) and has nothing to do with “art”. But now people will only ever see it as an art scam. I hate people.
40:19 i think i'd like a bit more elaboration on this master plan
The game was Chinese made, but the company recently left China due to restrictive creativity. However in game the areas themselves are based on different countries Germany/Japan/China and so on
Libertarians would have trouble dealing with dragons...
Not me. If I have to fix Dvalin to continue the story.... *points to overpowered Yanfei* She's got it covered.
I did not expect this coming oh my
17:18 try reading Worm to an even scariest scenario of "people with superpowers". It is even worse.
39:19 Isn't the same thing with the military?
when you started talking about crabs that was the moment i knew to subscribe
MY NEW FAVORITE PHRASE IS "And now...the crab is yours"
5:52 what happens if a child can't consent? Oh right , THE PARENTS DO THE CONSENTING , it's the law.
"Twitter users; you are doing the world a favour by purging them"
I tried to play Genshin Impact for a couple of weeks. Even got a few 5 Star characters. I’ll even admit that the elemental combo combat style is pretty cool.
I put it down like a hyena with rabies and never looked back.
I think you might be the only reactor I've watched who may have figured out the crab joke from this video XD
I have watched Max0r's video on Genshin so many times i can almost say the entire script Verbatim...
1:58. You got nice timing to pause, dude
Jesus Christ a grown ass man lectured me on crabs I’m so fucking mad yet so so happy subbed
The age of consent should not be 18. It should be way higher. I've pretty much never seen an 18 year old that made well thought out decisions.
I really think you should try reviewing some more Rimmy Downruner. The video you did of him is one of the funniest, but he has several which are very realistic (not milsim tho), which I think you will enjoy a lot. There are some smaller youtubers which have some incredible ARMA 3 videos, such as Rubixraptor (his is more of a sovietwomble style video, but still very good)
The only real problem about the wolves situation is that there's a wolf god that would be pretty mad if they killed the wolves. XD
1:05 me coming home and finding my gf playing cute boys simulator and she's not single. World is not fair.
5:46 **laughs in aristrocraty** you already have a fiance before you were born. And in asia its normal for their children to grow up in the same house until the parents pass away and at that point parents normalized that in the coming age of when they are able to live by them selfs they organize a "blind date" but this is for the rich people, we plebians will just get a girl friend or boy friend and hope that their parents like them and if they dont 99% you move to another country.
