This video took SO LONG! Sorry for the wait, guys, but now you know why. Aventurine is such an amazing character and I can't wait until 2.2 to see where the story goes next, even if we have to wait until later for him to reappear.

I'll be streaming my playthrough of the next update LIVE on my twitch, so don't forget to go check it out!

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAR RAIL!

This video is about Honkai Star Rail, a gacha game by hoyoverse that just celebrated it's first anniversary (happy birthday star rail!), the same company that made Honkai Impact 3rd, and Genshin Impact. In this game you play as the Trailblazer, either Stelle or Caelus, who has a Stellaron in their chest and they travel with Himeko, Dan Heng, March 7th, Pom Pom and Welt Yang in the Astral Express with the power of the Trailblaze Aeon Akivili carrying them to different planets like Belobog, a planet which follows the path of Preservation and the Aeon Clipoth, where they save Bronya, Sampo, Seele, Natasha, Clara, Hook, Serval, Gepard, Linx, Pela, Luca, and many other friends, from the eternal freeze caused by Cocolia and another stellaron. Afterwards, they defend the planet against the IPC and topaz and numby. They then go to the Xianzhou Loafu, where they meet new people and help Jing Yuan, Yanquing, Luocha, Sushang, Fu Xuan, Balilu, and the Imbibitor Lunae defend against Phantylia and Tingyun by capturing Kafka and Blade the Stellaron Hunters. We eventually come back to help Huo Huo and Mr. Tail, Hanya, Xueyi, Yukong, Qingque, and Guinaifen (Li'l Gui) with various problems such as rebuilding Aurum Alley or defeating the heliobi (ghosts) in Fyxtrol Gardens. We also sometimes hang out in the Simulated Universe on Herta Space station, with Herta, Asta, Arlan, Ruan Mei, Mr. Screwlum, and Dr. Ratio. We sometimes have problems from people like Sam, Jingliu, Silver Wolf, and Elio, or run into new friends like Argenti. On Penacony, otherwise known as Star Rail Update 2.0, we go into the Golden Hour, a dreamscape where we meet Misha, Sparkle, Aventurine, Black Swan, Sunday, Robin, Firefly, Gallagher, Clockie, Acheron, and many others. In update 2.1 we learn more about Aventurine or Kakavasha, and how he used psychological manipulation and multiple layers of lies and bluffs to win. Soon we will meet Robin, Boothill, Jade and Firefly. Sometimes we fight the swarm disaster, sometimes the antimatter legion or the annihilation gang. It's all a matter of finding the best character build and gathering stellar jade efficiently to pull for new characters. This is a theory crafting (or theorycrafting) video that tries to predict where the game will go next)
