Who does that money go to, the streamer? I dunno how twitch works.

like 3 bux goes to the streamer (it's a variable amount though iirc, different for different tiers of accounts or some poo poo)
the rest goes to amazon

Yes. You need to rotate more like xq burst->thoma skill and bust with no attacks-> sucrose skill and auto-> hu Tao (assuming sucrose is on ttds). If sucrose is on frags or another EM weapon you go thoma->sucrose->xq->hu Tao.

Probably doesn't matter honestly. This feels like the sort of thing where you can get a theorycrafter to make you a spreadsheet and after a dozen rows and columns of numbers it turns out that X is 1% better with weapon Y, unless you use artifact set Z...

Sac Frags is probably better if you're using Deatchmatch with Shimenawa, but the difference is smaller if you're using Witch. That sort of thing.

As a newcomer to the Genshin community, everything outside of literally this one thread seems like a dumpster fire most of the time. I assume Mihoyo has done something to earn it but it’s still pretty tiring. Thankfully goons here are pretty chill.

I've read that EM is #1 until it hits 100, but my C1 Hu Tao that I somehow got in like 40 rolls alongside a Diluc constellation (I just wanted Sayu and Thoma! I was nowhere near pity anywhere in this! Probably missing Itto now but charge attack spam is fun as hell and hey another excuse to use Xinyan) isn't fully up and running yet.

Yeah it seems that the genshin community is something special all right. I mean other than making genshin a gacha game I honestly don't think Mihoyo has done that much to deserve the crazies lol. It was just a series of releasing three "bad" characters in a row (the characters are still fine but not OP and one's even meta) plus the anniversary event not giving out some arbitrary level of rewards meant the community just melted down really quickly.

That's basically every GaaS community online, people don't go to internet to praise something, they want to complain. Played and participated in communities of WoT and Elite: Dangerous, playing KanColle and it's the same everywhere. "The game is dying", "The [concurrent-and-very-irrelevant-game] is much better and will kill this game", "The devs don't play their game", "The devs don't listen to us", "The devs are greedy and want easy profit while not improving the game", "Here's my sixty ideas that are super easy to implement within a day and would make me spend $5 on the game" (T/N: The ideas totally aren't easy to implement), etc, etc.

Mihoyo caved once with Zhongli, now gamers expect them to cave again if they yell enough while ignoring all the domestic CN reasons for Zhongli's buff.

Plus the usual inevitable salt and desperation just being a gacha game brings. Addicts desperate for more rolls but unable to afford them will natural beg and plead and threaten, etc.

I don't really understand because this is cheaper and more accessible to everyone than the china KFC giveaway. But I guess fried chicken is a better value than twitch subs.

Some time around the time the games first anniversary happened the general online community decided to go from relatively chill to one like it was during say the Golden Islands event to one those weirdly adversarial ones towards the company and seem to complain about everything to do with the game now by default. A lot of people outside here also seem to figure themselves rather clever in saying a line akin to "It's only a small indie company so they can't do x" every time they come up with some sort of beef. Things are actually settled down compared to a month or so ago IMO. Like really the anniversary was when the torches and pitchforks were seriously out and twitter/reddit was just completely on fire with people worked up into a blood frenzy going around review bombing the game on google play and any other unrelated Chinese game as well as harassing one characters Chinese VA on twitter because the character was underpowered or something.

I really don't know what else to say other than the usual timeline of gaming communities with a heavy twitter/reddit presence basically just took effect and when it was time for things to go sour and toxic they just kind of did all at once with pretty minimal buildup. Like you saw a little buildup sort of with youtubers and that whipping their audiences about how other games had much better rewards for anniversaries and suddenly it was like all other concerns in the community got dropped and everything became an awareness campaign about how Mihoyo was screwing the fanbase by not giving out tons of free stuff and that's just kind of now the lens a lot of the online community has viewed everything the game has tried to do since.

Case in point I'm not even surprised to learn that people are going apeshit about the KFC Glider thing. It's an in game item that exists, it costs money (aka isn't free), and it's being done differently than it was for China=poo poo lost+time to start spamming Qiqis on discord again because they've convinced themselves that's the answer to having "Mihoyo listen to me". Thing is it's just people justifying their own desire to engage in toxic annoying behavior to me more than serious problems with the game for the most part. Like I've heard people complain about the lack of end game content which I kind of agree with, but the people that mention that just do it normally rather than go on a rampage every couple of weeks and whenever anything happens with the game that requests money. Like it's 5 loving whole dollars, just pay for the cosmetic item like any other game such as FFXIV or don't.

I remember when Punishing Gray Ravens and Cookie Run Kingdom were supposed to directly murder Genshin Impact as opposed to the reality of them launching and just kind of doing their own thing for their own niches as well as I'm aware.

Some of the crazy conspiracy poo poo people are convincing themselves on how Mihoyo is out to get them with the KFC campaign is some real mental gymnastics. Some of these people are just flat out paranoid as an explanation. Hopefully it doesnt lead to any harassment or anything just because the Western community has people being dumb and needing to fill a shitshow quota again. Apparently FFXIV had a similar sub to some streamer for x months and get a cosmetic item campaign a while back and no pitched meltdown over that so yeah...

Barbara's best teams are freeze teams with an anemo to spread her hydro application (ideally ayaka+kazuha). She doesnt work very well with Xiangling and you usually end up vaporizing the wrong damage.

Using her outside of freeze is hard - electro charged is not worth building around and she's not great on either side of the vaporize reaction.

But outside of freeze Keq probably is the way to feel most ok about her because you can actually use barbara stamina buff and electro charged is technically something.

I think maybe that was just for the commercials in China. Basically i figure all thats happened though is KFC was a partner for Genshin and Mihoyo in China but not in North America, but Amazon is a big time partner in North America for the game and agreed to help carry the event in exchange for Mihoyo sending some subs their way on twitch and too many North American gamers are too dumb and paranoid to realize how these things work and that nobody is out to get them specifically.

No, but it's a good number (3 per kid). I only found all the inazuma city chests last week so compass there if you havent, and I'd recommend looking up the "dig" chests in inazuma because they're unfair. Otherwise you can compare your chest count per area with the known counts online to see where you should focus your search.
