Ep 11: (2.8 pt. 4, Season Finale): "Road To Dendro"

The churls finally cover Golden Apple, their thoughts on Sumeru, and a  few other matters before The Shade Chamber adjourns for the season.  We'll be back sometime after the Archon Quest, so keep an eye on our Twitter https://twitter.com/ShadeChamberPod for when we return.   Thank you everyone who responded with thoughts about Sumeru's cultural representation. This is a fraught subject and not one that we're really qualified to talk about, but it is important to us. This is also in no way an attempt to show the "right" way to feel about how your culture appears in Sumeru. People are not a monolith and we had a very small sample size.  We want to use this as an opportunity to platform and learn from marginalized groups, so please keep the dialogue going and don't hesitate to point out our inevitable screwups. But for now, we'll see you in Sumeru. _ 00:00  Intro and Housekeeping 01:44  Golden Apple Archipelago 2022: Welcome to Therapy Island 05:51  Embrace Your Cringe Destiny: Fischl's Journey 09:04  GAA 2022: other thoughts and development discussion 20:04  Fatui Harbingers: An Organization XIII For The Zoomer Era 27:32  Industry News & Current Events 37:42  Road To Dendro: 3.0 & Sumeru Speculation 47:26  The matter of cultural representation 53:55  There's no cute name for this chapter, just please be normal about this 01:03:12  Closing Remarks Recorded August 15, 2022 (ver. 2.8) _ Articles Cited:  https://www.thegamer.com/unity-criticised-for-merging-with-known-malware-distributor/ https://www.gamerbraves.com/tower-of-fantasy-team-apologizes-after-caught-using-honkai-impact-3rd-assets-in-newest-pv/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/wiyz7k/in_a_few_weeks_from_now_genshin_impact_will_be/ Tower of Fantasy ID Debacle Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HO-ARvYQVE Shirtless Childe art: https://www.reddit.com/user/quitboot/ Genshin Times Square Jumbotron footage: https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/rtdxsq/guess_what_i_saw_on_the_largest_jumbotron_in/ Germany Pavilion at Epcot Center photo by deror avi Coffee shop, billboard and forest fire media by Vecteezy Ending theme: Purrple Cat - Neon Tiger - Provided by Lofi Records - Watch: https://youtu.be/dx3wKApuVRQ - Download/Stream: https://fanlink.to/SoothingBreeze Ending SFX by Vecteezy
