To those of you who continue to watch my videos, and also to those who might see this yet no longer watch them: Are you tired of the "Only _____" series in Genshin?

I want to spend my time making content that you all want to watch, and it's no secret that it seems a lot fewer people are expressing an interest in those series on the channel recently.

I have some ideas as to why this may be, but I'm wondering if it's grown a bit stale as a concept for all of you.

I'd also love to hear if there are other kinds of videos you'd all be interested in seeing on the channel as well. Without all of you, there is no channel. So it's important to me that I know what you'd all enjoy watching.

Genuinely just curious to see who everyone's favorite Genshin character currently is.

(This time as a multiple choice question so it's infinitely easier to actually make sense of the results)

I need YOUR opinions regarding our 4-Star Only Account in Genshin.

I would normally stick to the initial rules I set for myself, as I'm quite a stubborn individual. However, I've seen a lot of you in the comments voicing your concerns over the stunted potential of the account due to these rules. You've understandably stated that these restrictions made sense at the beginning of the account, but now limit its growth.

So if we were to change the rules a bit, I'd still want to restrict pulls to a degree. But I would be willing to change it so that we get to do a 10-pull on both a rate-up character banner, as well as a 10-pull on the weapon banner each time the banners change.

That means each update, we'd be doing 40 pulls in total. (20 per each half)

When it comes to the acquaint fates, I was thinking we could just use them as we get them. There are not many sources of them as you progress, so after initially spending the ones we have, we'd only get a couple every now and then anyways. I would probably use them on Noelle's banner, then dump the rest into the Standard Banner.

Let me know if this is something you'd like to see implemented, or if you feel we should stick to the initial ruleset.
As much as I want to create a challenge for myself and this account, I also want the content to be at least mildly enjoyable for you to watch, so I'm willing to make some changes. (Plus we have no shot at clearing the spiral abyss currently lol)

For those of you interested in pulling Escoffier, what teams are you interested in seeing her in? (Or what are some wacky teams you'd want to see tried out?)

☕Update on Every Series & Potential New Series Idea☕

- ⚔️Swords Only: will slowly continue to build each character. It was my OG "_____ Only" account, and thus it feels only fitting to continue it.

- 📖Spells Only: 36-starred the Spiral Abyss, and thus will probably be finished. I know this may be disappointing to some, but that was the original goal, and I think it is a good idea to actually move on to the next idea once we reach the goals we set.

- 🪨Geo Only: has a long way to go, and will continue as normal.

- ☠️The JavaLocke: has not been touched in a long time. Essentially, the next video in that series would be us either beating floor 8 in the Spiral Abyss (the goal of the challenge), or losing our characters trying. As such, the next step would be for me to keep farming on the account over the course of many weeks trying to build each character. The time invested didn't feel worth it for the end result, and thus I stopped playing on that account. However, if I am able to start streaming more regularly again, it has been suggested that we potentially farm on the account during that time. So it's possible this will come back for one last video.

- 🔪Wuthering Blades: while I do feel WuWa is a fun game, I think I'm a bit burned out when it comes to new gacha games. (Hence why I'm not playing ZZZ either). I did record some more on the account, intending to create a video where we pulled for Changli, but I lost the 50/50 at soft pity. I then grinded back up to soft pity over the course of her banner, but ultimately could not get enough pulls in time. Thus, I didn't turn it into a video, and have not played on the account for quite some time. As much as I hate abandoning something so shortly after starting it, this will probably be one of the cases where that is what happens. Apologies to those who were looking forward to the continuation of that series.

- 🌟Erudition Only: In all honesty, I have not been logging into Star Rail on any of my accounts for a while. And now when logging in, it's almost overwhelming how much I need to complete / learn regarding different game modes. Plus, we've been stuck at a road block on this account due to the lack of support or heals (go figure). That being said, I do want to continue this series, and may make a video soon where I get back on the account and try to find a way to defeat the next major boss / improve all of our builds. Thought my fear is that a video where we attempt (but fail) to make progress would not be very enjoyable to watch.




With that all said, I noticed today that Geo Only is over 8 months old already. Since Spells Only is retiring, and Swords Only is just slowly building each character, I was wondering if it might be time four a new challenge account?...
(I'd try to come up with a new and unique idea besides another challenge account but I've been trying to do that for months and all roads lead back to challenge accounts (at least in terms of uploading consistent Genshin content))

So the question is, would you be interested in seeing yet another challenge account from me? (If yes, I already have an idea and rules set up four it) If you have other ideas that you'd be interested in seeing me try in future videos, you can also feel free to leave those in the comments and maybe I'll also find them appealing enough to try making. At the end of the day, I can't be a 'content creator' without you, and so it's important for me to know what you are all interested in seeing from me.

To everyone who sent birthday wishes to my Grandfather on the last community post, he wanted me to thank you all on his behalf. He was shocked that thousands of people would take the time out of their day to wish a complete stranger a happy birthday. He said that he and my Grandmother spent quite a while scrolling through reading as many of your messages as they could.



I appreciate you all doing this for him! 😊☕

My grandfather's birthday is coming up really soon, and since he has supported my pursuit of growing a YouTube channel since before I even started, I thought it would be a fun idea to try to get as many people as possible to wish him a Happy Birthday here.
So if you want to, feel free to send some birthday wishes his way in the comments of this post! (Or even just send a couple birthday-themed emojis)☕🎂
