Short Resumption of Playing Genshin Impact/Honkai Star Rail

Since ArcheAge shutdown (end of June), I haven’t touched any game.  The last time I also played either Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail was around February.  I noticed a Genshin quest thingy above my Discord (and also got the e-mail about the 5.0 update and free 5-star from the standard banner).

I said why not and noticed the new integrated launcher (finally).  Both games, I am now way behind their respective story lines (for Genshin, I hadn’t even completed the Fontaine main and archon quests yet and haven’t even touched a lot of the world mechanics since Sumeru while for Honkai, I don’t even recall what the next stuff was).

I’m pretty sure once I start playing for a bit, the reasons for why I stopped to begin will be highlighted again.

EDIT: I completely forgot about the Stellar Reunion thing (14 days to get the extra rewards) in Genshin when you haven’t played for a while.  Will see if I manage to last that long.
