"I'm not straight, the wall will not be straight" my excuse when the posters I hang up are crooked

Perfect thing to watch while waiting for Aventurine to drop

10:47 this is actually wrong and just a common misconception within the community based on something Welt said (“the emanators of remembrance don’t have a physical body”) To elaborate, it’s a square and rectangle situation where every square (emanator of remembrance) is a rectangle (memokeeper) but not every rectangle is a square.

When I heard the "the gaze of Qlipoth" I heard "the gays of Qlipoth" and I was like oh Bronya?

Can you please PLEASE make more of this? I'm having a really hard time finding HSR recaps that are either not overedited with very annoying flashy clips and sound effects or recorded with microphone from a 2008 Nokia. I love your narration, setup simplicity, crispy mic setting, and you speak so well that it's easily digestible for an ESL like me. Please like you're my last hope into deeply understanding more of the lore kdjdgasd

16:20 I don’t think Nous becoming an Aeon is as suspicious as you think. I understand that the idea of a god being made by someone who isn’t a god doesn’t make logical sense, but you have to remember that Aeons achieve godhood by fully exploring a Path, which for Nous is Erudition, aka knowledge. The whole point of supercomputers is to process information faster than humans, so the idea that Nous could fully comprehend the Path of Erudition where THEIR creator could not makes sense.

Imagining an Elden Ring lore wall.... gosh you're going to be so swamped with just Miquella alone

1:20:54 i'm not so sure about that, since when March 7th tells us her story she mentions another person that was present when she was rescued, but she doesn't remember who they were. That makes me wonder if that person was Void Archives, another past Astral Express member that we don't know anything about, or maybe the Garden of Recollection messenger.

About the Opening Cinematic and "Canon in D" being played. The piece is also associated with Neon Genesis Evangelion, which has been a heavy influence on Honkai Impact 3rd. Which, in turn, is something of Honkai Star Rail's predecessor. Starting the game with that music track is a multi-layered reference.

25:35 Kafka wasn't recuited forst as in her character story, Elio tells someone (who I think is Sam) how to recuit Kafka. Kafka then recruited Blade, and Sliver Wolf was recruited last.

25:12 It’s actually the Interastral Peace Corporation, not the Interstellar Peace Corporation. The nerd inside of me is screaming 😭

i was literally searching for a complete honkai star rail recap a few days ago and here you are 😩🙏

I always felt that Ruan Mei's paranoia came from how Genius Society members were quietly being killed off. Probably by Polka. As a result, a lot of the Genius Society members have a bit of paranoia and reclusiveness to themselves. At least the ones still alive. Stephon, super recluse. Never see the guy. Makes it hard for Polka to get to him. Herta, hides her real self and only really interacts with others through puppets. Hard for Polka to get to as well. Ruan Mei. She's like a ghost, because she rarely makes appearances, and when she does, she drugs people into forgetting about it. As a result, no real trail for Polka to follow. Screwllum is harder to figure out why he's alive. Maybe it's because he owns his own planet? Maybe if you kill Screwllum, he just downloads into another body? Not sure, but he's probably somewhat difficult to assassinate as well. I just feel like, as a theory, that the Genius Society members that are still alive, are due to their difficulty in being killed for Polka.

55:40 Ruan Mei honestly was one of the more annoying characters in star rail, i hate being jerked around and felt like i’m being taken advantage of and she provided that in spades

I love how this expanation flowed, and how effortlessly you guided the viewer to understanding, explaning every new thing that popped up without overwelming me. This was really fun to watch

👴: look honey sipsipstefen drop a new lore recap video 👵: I’ve waited 75 years for this, absolutely worth it! (In all seriousness i love these types of videos)

Finished watching and the Ratio joke was worth it 😂 honestly really well planned video, I was wondering how you were gonna handle the abysmal amount of info we get in this game and you presented it in a way that is easy to follow and digest! Can't wait for part 2

we thank you for your service 🙏(i've literally been looking for a serious lore recap as someone whose attention span can't handle all the dialogue)

ok ok but like imagine entire honkai impact story. that one would probably be insane. but probably would take a really long time lol.

Bro, this is a ridiculous amount of lore, lmao I will watch all parts fully. Great vid!

I'm legitimately so excited for this. You are really good at explaining the lore in an engaging way. I found a lot of details fell out of my brain when playing through because it was a lot at once. Thank you :3

You just made me fall in love with this game all over again

The random Paimon DRAG 😂😂😂

ive been waiting for this! so excited to watch!

thank you for your hard work sir. i have the chronic habit of getting into a fandom and then teetering on learning the lore and not learning the lore for myriads of reasons so this is a saver lol

this is exceptionally made and really clear to understand, been looking for a similar video for a long time

your explanation is really easy to listen to and understand, thank you! I can't wait for the next part :>

this is the best video i’ve ever seen, i thought i knew damn near everything about star rail as i played almost every day since launch, but nope! thanks for educating me❤

that was so well organized wow really nice video, thanks!!

As soon as I thought "man I really wish there was a video that could tell me what the hell happens in hsr" I get this video in my recommended 😭

Just wanna say, Jade already showed up in one of Aventurine's flashbacks during the Penacony story

this is the TED talk that we needed and what we deserved

absolutely love your delivery and references! i've been looking for lore recap videos everywhere, and I'm so happy to come across yours! 🥰 can't wait to watch the rest of the Star Rail series. i would also love to see lore recaps for Honkai Impact 3rd (i know it's a lot, but there's hardly any videos that i've seen that go as in-depth as yours do!)

Thank you so much for your service!! This is fantastic! ❤

This was the perfect level of detail, excited for more!

not a fake ad break followed by a merch ad break, followed by a discord ad break all in near succession 😬

Exactly what I needed, your work is appreciated I’m letting you know ❤

To be exact on the list of crimes you attributed to Kafka, those are actually attributed to the Stellaron Hunters as a whole. For example, the cyber attacks were probably Silver Wolf's doing. If Kafka could perform cyber attacks against Planet Screwllum, they wouldn't need Silver Wolf.

Great video, tysm for the recap, I kinda forgot about what happened at the Space Station arc, so this was very helpful! My fav characters are Kafka and Aventurine

This is incredible!!! I never have the time to pay attention to the lore or do all the quests so I've been really looking for a big deep dive on all the lore so I'll definitely be subscribing to see the rest!! :D

I’m gonna watch this while I’m avoiding customers in the back office.

such a good video I understood the lore and I’m more interested in it now!!❤

Been looking forward to this !!!

Props to whoever edited this video, made it so much funnier 😭

I've been playing since day 1 so I forget things and the timeline blurs- THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD REFRESHER!! Can't wait for parts 2 and 3!!

OMG I love your vibes, just started the video but I'm sure this will be a wild ride

Thank you so much for this! Looking forward to next videos

Ok but if we're going to include Pluto as a planet, where's the justice for Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and all the other dwarf planets? There are 18 planets. There.

I'd like to say I liked the lore recap, but what I really liked was the story about your sister and your disappointment. Liked, subscribed and waiting for part 2. Greetings form Brasil!

"Im not straight...the wall is not straight" And thats why I subbed

Super exciting video!

There is a light cone (before the tutorial mission starts) which tells us that stelleron hunters came to her to recruit her

Love these types of videos!

THANK YOU SO MUCHHH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO

This is the content I watched your channel for

Thank you for posting this! :D

I've been looking for a video like this that recaps the game because I kind of rush through the story. I look forward to the other parts on the series

i love this video so much 😭🎀

I needed this SO MUCH

You most definitely cooked with this one, absolutely love the summary of the story!

The very 1st patch Pamela is introed in a side quest where we first trade her pics of Himeko for gossip

Wow thank you😭 i miss a lot of lore cus sometimes hsr’s writing is too flowery and dense for me to understand but this was super clear and interesting

great video! Really enjoyed it and helped me tie some loose ends I wasn't certain about, can't wait for Jarilo-VI storyline! It's my personal favorite, I love your delivery so I can't wait to see your take on it :] but oh lord will I NEED a recap from Xianzhou Loufu storyline cause that destroyed my brain in some parts I think 😵

YAAAAAAAAAAAAS ITS OUT! excited to see how fun this is

44:00 my memory isn't the best, but I think I recall Herta mentioning that these aren't AI recreations of the Aeon persay, but instead almost like vessels or something that the Real life Aeons are able to project their mind or prescence into in order to interact with us. That's why she says we still need to try and attract the attention of the Aeons since they need to project themselves into the simulated universe to interact with us while we are pretending to be Akavili. I might be off on some of it, but the topic of Aeons is super interesting to me so the memory stands out.

as a huge lore nerd; i LOVE this. i can't wait for the next few parts. i will be watching (and possibly rewatching) when the next few come out!

Really appreciate these vids, and the effort it takes to do it. It would be a very daunting task to start and plan for those of us adhd folks. Cheers!

Yo! Thank you for explaining it to me and Reading a entire stack of information that I will never do

thanks it's really helpful

your lore recaps are peak !!!

I can't wait until you get to Penacony cause everything surrounding the Family confuses tf out of me

thank you for your hard work sir! Im listening to this as I farm for Aventurine

commenting so i can boost this!! u spent so much time n effort for this omgg

Watched this man move and talk for 5 seconds and with no prior knowledge could see the not straight joke coming

To comment for clarity we do know through dialogue the extent of Elios power and it is emanator to aeon level, let's review. > "Elio always tells the exact future" - Kafka Now it's important to really understand the implications of this sentence, as kafka said Elio 'Always' tells 'the' 'exact' future. So we know Elio's predictions are never wrong and are very specific down to the exact time and we know from how it's worded he doesn't see A future he can see THE future. (while not entirely accurate with a later note it's still important) > "In the end you cannot defy the script" - Sam Well from this we know that once a future is set in motion according to the script, well... You cannot defy aka deviate from it as fate or destiny won't allow it this is also likely why Elio refers to himself as "destiny's slave" > "In the end you will come face to face with the Aeon Nanook, and in most futures that is where destiny ends..." - Kafka Ok so first off "in 'most' futures" very important now we know Elio doesn't see A future or THE future, no no no no no Elio sees ALL futures possible meaning the future path Elio chose the one we're on in the cannon story is one where destiny doesn't 'end' at Nanook. From these lines alone we can tell that Elio and the Trailblazer are the only ones able to set a course to defy 'destiny', hmm? oh yeah you're wondering why I said the trailblazer too I see well though I wont mention every instance of which it's referenced I will say one where in the beginning if you say you don't like your future Elio foresaw then kafka mentions the reply is 'unexpected'; Little strange don't you think? A man so meticulous in his script he will note the time of events down to the second would leave out a mention of the response, well he didn't because he didn't foresee it happening because as another who can defy 'destiny' Elio can't predict all futures of the Trailblazer. Anyway let's get back on track here so Elio can see (excluding some specifically with the Trailblazer) ALL futures even how certain decisions will change those futures and out of the (contextually) millions of possibilities only one led to destiny not ending in the moment of the Trailblazer's inevitable face off against Nanook. One future where the only one that can doom it or make it happen with certainty is the Trailblazer aka you the player.

"I'm not straight, the wall will not be straight" love that! 😂

You ate this!!! Nice to watch while I was baking a cake 🫶🏽✨

Very entertaining and informative video! Hope to still see a follow-up video!! :)

fun fact the reason pluto isn't considered a planet is just because it hasnt cleared its "celestial neighborhood", not really its size

Herta is suspicious as heck but one of my most favorite characters. I can’t wait for her 5* release!!!! They can’t possibly make an emanator just a 4* Right? : D

finally 🙏i know we got the timeline ingame but having it placed out like this makes it so much easier to keep track of

thank you for this presentation, I'm very excited to finally get my degree in Honkai Star Rail

Starting out by saying that the milky way GALAXY is only a single solar system. This is going to be great

Keep up with the good work!

Living for the Bella > Jacob < Alice reference 😂

1:25 it’s not even a galaxy it’s an entire universe, galaxies are wiped out to showcase the strength of characters (for example Zephyro was revealed to have destroyed an entire galaxy by an IPC broadcast). Its scope is absolutely stupid.

5 MINS OF ADMIN AT THE BEGINNING MY HAIR IS TURNING GRAY. Still watched the whole thing. Thanks for the vid

This is amazing!

LOVE THIS! 🤩❤

Perfect video to listen to while you're cooking. Now I can somehow follow you and chat when y'all talk about lore😂 One suggestion I have (who knows, maybe one more add to your long list of lore walls) is Bloodborne. A game from the same makers as Elden Ring. Not only is Bloodborne lore heavy but also very interesting and would be cool to see as what your interpretation is. Miyazaki (the maker of all these games) loves to keep the endings kinda open, leaving it to the imagination of the player on what is happening. Anyway, very cool video! Will probably watch other lore walls videos as well!!!

lol the milky way has waaaaaaaaaay more than 9 planets. I think you might be confused.

THE SISTER SLANDER LMAO

46:38 i always interpreted the interlude placement as being collected by location rather than strict time though, since lots of quests and on HSS in particular imply you are coming back after being away for indeterminate amount of time. like arlan making you cosmic fried rice i thought he was celebrating seeing you again

THANK U FOR THIS

I'm always on board for Ruan Mei slander 🤗 Also thanks for recap. It's been a year already and with amount of lore HSR gives us it's easy to lose track on some things.

Omg so excited!!

Super good video and waiting for Belobog and penacony ❤❤🎉

I feel like there is an exam coming.

9:00 - I will add that the Annihilation Gangs don't actually have Nanook's blessing. THEY consider these gangs larpers and posers, effectively.

Ok fine. You've convinced me. Subscribed 👍
