    #25 [Season Finale]: "Fontaine: The Last Word"

    Genshin Impact's Fontaine was a mixed bag. As a group of podcasters with various degrees of AAA game industry experience, we are here to close the curtain on a flawed but often brilliant chapter of Genshin's development history. In this episode, let us bid adieu to the land of Focalors and turn to the blazing sun. Why are we sick of lore? What succeeded and what didn't? Did Arlecchino steal Furina's hair? Will Kujou Sara get her hot dog? This time, on The Shade Chamber: a Genshin podcast.

    #23: Imaginarum, New Meta & Da Wei's Skill Issues

    The churls reflect on some of the changes we've seen occur over the last year of Genshin, including a new endgame mode to free us from the shackles of Spiral Abyss. What this means for the Genshin meta - or "metas", rather - and why you're probably using that word wrong in the first place. Also, what the heck was Chronicled Wish? This time, on The Shade Chamber. 00:00 Chronicled Wish (remember that thing?) 04:29 Early Game Changes & QoL 08:33 Imaginarium Theater and The End (and Beginning) of Meta
