Let us know any suggestions or guests you would like to see massive thanks to these blokes for this one Gacha Smack - www.youtube.com/@GachaSmack07 Tectone - www.youtube.com/@Tectone
Ironically, "Brainstorm" or some variant is pretty accurate since it's an extremely intellectual take on the gacha scene as well as picking the brain of the guest. Is "Gacha Brain" a term in the community? I feel like I've heard that, so some play on that might work. "Endgame" or some variant also seems good because of the wordplay.
1:08:30 The cigarette analogy was good, but I think Volkin's method is more analogous to throwing it away and Tectone's method is actually just finding the guy who threw it. That blends a bit better with Smack saying "Ecosystem", because the entire system can't stop to track down every litterer, someone has to clean it up and keep working. At the same time someone has to make an example of the destructive element to discourage the behavior and protect the system. Really great point.
I 100% agreed with the drama spectators stuff. People just gonna start make stuff up from things that aren't even serious and make the situation worse.
This is so freaking based. I love how you guys balance out and have really thoughtful conversation in oppose to an echo chamber, keep it up. I want more!
I have to be honest… I’ve actually never watched Volkin before watching this podcast episode. I love Tectone and Gacha Smack. I mess with Volkin after this. This was such a great conversation. Subscribed. Great job Volkin.
Balancing a newborn of 2 months and been a CC, Volkin what are some tips you would give to others in that situation? It's been such a unique experience for me especially worrying about the missus and child every 30 seconds!
yeah ive played a lot of games and never had those issues, however the genshin community is so much larger which means you have more chances to have shit go bad
Watching this just makes me want to stream Wuthering Waves once it comes out, even if it's just for fun. Thank you guys for bringing out banger content.
Tectone criticing mtashed and vice versa is very nice to see not only because they both have similar takes on how genshin needs change but because to some degree they can both take harsh criticism without getting overly offended. I agree on Tectones point about how the genshin stans moving to other games could potentially have a detriment effect (ofc not all of them) but not sure if anyone else has seen brax tweet there was a couple of people saying how WW character looks like genshin etc. Games not even out yet and people already started with there bullshit lmao
I have high hopes for WW's gameplay, but tectone did bring up a valid point about how it is a gacha game at the end of the day, so I probably will temper my expectations a but going forward.
I was in the stream with Enviosity and he was writing it and asking chat if it was ok or at least asking for their blessing that it wasn't bad. I had no idea it was so loaded and at the time he wasn't worked up. Then he kind of went unhinged as the stream went. I didn't understand if he was playing up to the audience or if he worked himself up. I don't watch him often on Twitch but it was post-release and I had watched Zyox the day before so I didn't have a lot of lore dump about his anxiety. I probably wouldn't watch him with that but I think his content on YT at least is enjoyable. It is weird that Twitch is so different than the YT. Enviosity probably needs to relax. I think he is a nice guy, or did... I thought of him in the same positive light as Brax. I watch all you guys and its weird for the fracture to be in the 'community.'
I mean about the difficulty, in pgr there are plenty of game mods that are really difficult period, of course what teccy said is true but if they follow pgr things will be different from other gacha games
You should call it "Krakatoa Smack" - Volkin sounds similar to Volcano - Krakatoa used to be massive Volcano that erupted, you guys are blowing up! hehe sorry for being cringe haha. I really love the Podcast! I will keep coming back!
You can see the hurt in Tectone's eyes @ 17:25-18:00 when he's thinking about what Mtashed might have said about him, the same look you get when your gf that recently made you separate living from her say's shes gotta tell you something...and it's about the new guy that's living there or some shit. Poor Tectone went through so much hurt, I feel you, bro, I got a sexy ass girl now who treats me like king. Sometimes pleasure comes after all the pain Tectone keep your head up buddy.
I love everyone of u but holy hell Tec and Smack was laughing so bad of Solo and his yapping on podcast and now Teccy in many times doesnt let Volk finish his thought
I hope these ppl that are genshin stans are that dedicated to the game so they see other games and plan not to play it because they love genshin and hope they stay there because we don’t need them they have their game
Smack talking criminal vs civil law shit lmao. Artumbo guilty beyond reasonable doubt, Atsu guilty on balance of probabilities... Got me reliving old law classes lmao
Pokke blew the dreamy thing way out of proportion and out of context for clicks. Tec and Smack look like hypocrites perpetuating and exacerbating drama
I'm gonna just have to say... people keep saying Genshin is "easy"... and maybe that's true with good relics, or C1+ 5* characters... but for a F2P with horrible relics, doing damage in the 4 digit range... it's far from easy. I have to stress farming for what'shisname's... wind relics for Kazuha... yeah... I've had 1-2 characters die in some of those relic domain battles if I'm not super careful, and the battles drag on forever... and I'm not even at the max world level ... intentionally keeping it lower than it can be, because of my gear. If I could lower it back down, I'd do that in a nanosecond. My Star Rail account is doing much better than my Genshin account, but I'm still not clearing MOC past 8, with good characters, but again, bad relics. I still have yet to clear tier 3 Gears and Gold. (I'm going to keep unlocking the bonus tree associated with it...) And I've intentionally kept my world level one step under max, because the relic thing haunts me. That's all I wanted to add.
The early game is indeed harder if you are under-leveled, it gets easier around AR55/56 once your characters are properly invested in and built (Talents, weapons, artifact, xp). Try to see those domains as combat puzzles where if you bring out a good team composition you will clear it faster. My recommendation for the "wind relics for Kazuha", assuming it's the Viridescent Venerer artifact domain... (Treasure hoarders + Fatooeys 1 Pyro, 1 Electro) Take 1 Anemo (grouper like Kazuha, Venti, Sucrose), 1 healer and/or sheilder, then you can go with either Cryo+Hydro to freeze them out or simply use your strongest damage dealers. You can also utilize reactions that are AOE(Area of effect) that hit multiples enemies at the same times, or Hydro+Electro for "Electrocharged" reaction that is good against multiples enemies as well. There is also a buff you get from the domain for Physical dmg dealers(white numbers) in addition of using Cryo+Electro reaction to shred the Physical dmg resistance of your opponents but it's more niche for characters like Eula... If you wish you can always try to co-op to see if you get lucky with other players that can carry you trough it. Best of luck!
from my understanding. mtashed is a reformed `bully` so he seems hypersensitive on the topic and tries to fix every1. he tries to reform the bully and make them apologise, rather then just say `you are a bully and you need to change` and distance himself. i understand it aswell. because i was also part of a clique in highschool and i was also closing my eyes or laughing along when other persons were getting bullied by my `clique`. it was only when i got into the last years of highschool and early years of college , when i flunked a year and lost said clique, i realised they never reached out to me to do stuff. so they wernt really my friends. so i felt lonely for a while and a outcast , not necesarrily bullied, but still lonely due to it. and then 2 ppl reached out to me and we became very good friends. i think after getting through that phase, it did get more easy to jump in between bad stuff when i noticed it happening. cause i was less focused on `being part of the clique`. anyways i think mtashed is somewhere deep down still feeling guilty towards that time and trying hes best to make every1 get allong. sadly not every1 cna be like him. some ppl are once a bully always a bully.

Hsr content creator among us when?
@@m0bb-_- Bro was thinking the same!! Might be a fun way to also bring the community together after all the issues lately

Mtashed would be good.
Dadcast 🗿

Tectona was dad of mrpokke so it makes sence
they need to add tashed man here on dadcast xD
Love it 😂
Mtashed: I can fix him
Tectone: I will break him
The sexual tension is through the roof
The sadist x masochist trope
THe comment I never knew I needed lmao
The way my smile faded
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
LMFAO

Really great point.
We finally found John Impact!

gacha smacks name is John too , so Johns impact xD
Now the only one we need is John Mihoyo
Hope this podcast stays for long, because I really love your dynamic with Smack. Keep it up Volkin!
volkin with the best content, can't wait to watch this
I 100% agreed with the drama spectators stuff. People just gonna start make stuff up from things that aren't even serious and make the situation worse.
This is so freaking based. I love how you guys balance out and have really thoughtful conversation in oppose to an echo chamber, keep it up. I want more!
Podcast name suggestion: "What did the baldy do this time"
"What did the egg do this time?"
I have to be honest… I’ve actually never watched Volkin before watching this podcast episode. I love Tectone and Gacha Smack. I mess with Volkin after this. This was such a great conversation. Subscribed. Great job Volkin.
cheers mate
Gonna suggest Gacha Gazette meaning annoucement or journal.
Fitting for the podcast as it is a log of gacha game content creators.
Incredible discussions guys, keep up the great work. No cap on a stack frfr
The ending for this cracked me up, awesome podcast and loving the format.
yey, another podcast I can play and listen to while grinding simulated universe
Literally just finished doing this 😂
Real
Balancing a newborn of 2 months and been a CC, Volkin what are some tips you would give to others in that situation? It's been such a unique experience for me especially worrying about the missus and child every 30 seconds!
Volkin been watching you from afkarena days, glad you are so chill with all the drama going around.
Good podcast!
Smackin Cast
Tectone makes some solid points on the genshin community carrying over to other games, the dokkan community is very chill in comparison.
yeah ive played a lot of games and never had those issues, however the genshin community is so much larger which means you have more chances to have shit go bad
Watching this just makes me want to stream Wuthering Waves once it comes out, even if it's just for fun. Thank you guys for bringing out banger content.
I believe Mtashed understands how dark people are but he wants to stick true to his ideals ie believing the good in people. And that's okay
Love the content keep it up, might be just me but felt like gacha was talking more than the guest. But still dope vid. Love it.
Honestly that podcast was such a vibes . Loved it keep it coming bois
I love these podcasts SO much please 🥺🙏 keep doing them!

Spitting Facts Podcast with Kevin & John
I have high hopes for WW's gameplay, but tectone did bring up a valid point about how it is a gacha game at the end of the day, so I probably will temper my expectations a but going forward.

mtash was not harsh at all. he had the neutral and level headed opinions
Ive only seen one small clip. Ill have to catxh up on it
He did.
But he's also too catering to some people.
@@VolkinYT good content, much love
@@SeiryuWhite He's not catering, he's just not hitting people when they're already down.
I mean about the difficulty, in pgr there are plenty of game mods that are really difficult period, of course what teccy said is true but if they follow pgr things will be different from other gacha games
you could call it the V-Smack Show/podcast
3 chads in a room, we getting all kinds of value off this boys!
This is probably the most simple podcast name but I think just calling it the VGP (Volkin and gacha smack podcast) sounds kinda clean
Watching gachasmack let the black out at the end and tectone breaking down that phase has me dead 😂😂😂
Smackin' Podcast. You're welcome.
Volkin you should invite mtashed next. I can already imagine the daddy energy.
Smack explaining the hard r is fucking hilarious

You should call it "Krakatoa Smack" - Volkin sounds similar to Volcano - Krakatoa used to be massive Volcano that erupted, you guys are blowing up! hehe sorry for being cringe haha. I really love the Podcast! I will keep coming back!
The Volkin Smack Talk Podcast might be too on the nose but the double for talking smack is the only thing I can come up with ahah
You can see the hurt in Tectone's eyes @ 17:25-18:00 when he's thinking about what Mtashed might have said about him, the same look you get when your gf that recently made you separate living from her say's shes gotta tell you something...and it's about the new guy that's living there or some shit.

Totally agree with Gacha, "sweaty gamers" help push games to their limits and promote growth from the developers.

1:22:30 I see volkin and linus share the same braincell LMAO i love this
Good video
Suggestion for name : Gachast
bruh not gonna lie, I just started the area after bellabog cuz I play on and off. I even have Kafka from when she first came out XD
from my understanding. mtashed is a reformed `bully` so he seems hypersensitive on the topic and tries to fix every1. he tries to reform the bully and make them apologise, rather then just say `you are a bully and you need to change` and distance himself.
i understand it aswell. because i was also part of a clique in highschool and i was also closing my eyes or laughing along when other persons were getting bullied by my `clique`.
it was only when i got into the last years of highschool and early years of college , when i flunked a year and lost said clique, i realised they never reached out to me to do stuff. so they wernt really my friends. so i felt lonely for a while and a outcast , not necesarrily bullied, but still lonely due to it. and then 2 ppl reached out to me and we became very good friends.
i think after getting through that phase, it did get more easy to jump in between bad stuff when i noticed it happening. cause i was less focused on `being part of the clique`.
anyways i think mtashed is somewhere deep down still feeling guilty towards that time and trying hes best to make every1 get allong.
sadly not every1 cna be like him. some ppl are once a bully always a bully.
Call it Gacha Truth or Gacha Facts cause you were spittin"
